Which Celebrity Would You Choose As A Friend
October 6th 2006 01:36
ou could pick yourself any celebrity to be your friend, who would it be? Think carefully. Who do you think would be an ideal friend for you? Someone you could have fun with, talk to, go out with and just generally hang out with?
I have a list as long as my arm of celebrities that I’d like to meet, or sleep with, or sing on stage with, or attend an awards party. But the list of celeb’s that I think I’d actually like to be friends with is much much smaller!
Here’s a few names that will definitely never make my Friends list:
1. Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton,Lindsay Lohan, Kimberly Stewart & Nicole Ritchie - I've included these 5 as one entry, as they're all as bad as each other, and are really not friend-worthy kind of chicks. They're the kind of girls that are nice to face, tear you shreds behind your back and will definitely try and steal your boyfriend.
2. Nicole Kidman – Yes she’s an Aussie, yes she’s quite beautiful. But lets face it, she ain’t the warmest woman in the world. And I don’t think she’d be all that much fun.
3. Tom Cruise - WAY too weird.
4. Madonna - WAY too controlling
5. Britney Spears - WAY too trailer trash, and I hate her husband.
6. Michael Jackson – WAY too creepy
Now I don't want to seem too negative, so I've included a listing of some of the people that I actually wouldn't mind being friends with:
1. Allyson Hannigan (Willow from Buffy) - She's funky and cool. And anyone who'll star in all the American Pie movies has to have a similar sense of humour to me.
2. Drew Barrymore - big star, yet doesn't come across as completely pretentious and self-obsessed. And besides, her long term boyfriend is in a band. That's street cred (even if he is a drummer!).
3. Johnny Knoxville – how much fun would you have just hanging with Johnny and his mates? A LOT. That’s how much.
4. Lily Tomlin – I love Lily. She’s sharp, she’s funny. She might be heading towards being old, but she is still a cool lady.
5. Jack Black – What’s not to like about Jack? He’s funny, he’s cute, he can really sing. Any man who can help create a band as odd and wonderful as Tenacious D is a man that I’d like to count as a friend.
6. Dave Grohl – I also believe Dave to be the sexiest man in the entire world. But he’s cool, fun and is the nicest man in rock n’roll. He’d be an excellent friend.
Whew, naming celeb’s that I actually wouldn’t mind being friends with is harder than you think!!

I’ll get the most obvious choice out of the way immediately. When it comes to women celebs: Julie Delpy (but I’d want her to be more than a friend, so I might find it really frustrating if she just wanted to be friends – been there with non celebs) …
I’ll start with friendship according to my definition of a true friend (will any celebs make it?). Then I’ll list a couple of minor categories of friends (of the acquaintance kind).
True Friends (where a two way thing is happening both conversationally and actively; as in they’d be there for you if you needed them just to chat, or to do something for you, and vice-versa, and there’s a mutually beneficial outcome).
Mel Gibson because we both align ourselves with different versions of Traditional Latin Catholicism, and he’s a recidivist when it comes to alcoholism and depression (and he hasn’t lost his larrikin streak). We’d have some interesting conversations about religion and sede-vacantism, his father Hutton, why success [even success of the billion dollar kind] doesn’t lead to the end of depression or alcoholism or cure it, but sometimes only fuels it on to greater heights. So we’d go out pissing on (without having to explain what being a Traddy means), and indulging ourselves in all sorts of expensive delicacies of the beverage kind, while we philosophise about a religion based on suffering and self denial. Yeah, he’d be my number one choice.
Friends I could use for my own personal advancement, or just use for my own pleasure.
Mel Gibson. If I could just get him blotto enough to sign up as producer/director on an un-produced screenplay of mine about Theory Monsters/Catholic hypocrites (but not blotto enough to not be able to sign his own name). Plus, he could lend me a few bucks and I could catch a taxi home, not have to get him to give me a lift.
All the hot bimbo celebs. (pretty self-explanatory choice that one for a hetro male).
Bryan Brown. He’s hell-bent on making films with a true Aussie flavour. I write contemporary Australian fiction. He’s probably the one guy who would be game enough to make a hard core satire on contemporary Australian life, and understand it (as in, share the same vision).
Eddie McGuire (to get a high-paying job with 9 or PBL rather than blog).
Friends I could help out without getting anything out of the experience myself (have lots of those now of the non-celeb kind. Why am I adding to the list?)
Nup, can’t think of one who would be willing to accept the type of help I’d offer.
But I would love to have a prolonged argument about Scientology and all things L. Ron Hubbard with Tom Cruise.
Homer.

He's the writer and actor from Swingers.
Something tells me we could hang out, shoot shit, muse about life's little ironies, throw some threads on, drink some beers and whisky, crawl a few hip joints, all that jazz ...

Dave and Johnny would also suit me just fine!
I think I'd like to befriend Mandy Moore. She seems to have maintained that innocence that all these teen idols promote but then end up pregnant before their relationships are even publicised! She just seems like a genuinely beautiful person inside and out.
