| Celeb Wine and Dine |
Celebrity dinner parties must be pretty fabulous. I imagine the guests look stunning, as does the host, who claims she cooked the entire meal, but the catering boxes in the trash out back tell a different story. After two or three bottles of wine, everyone is bombed and the trash talking rivals some of the juiciest Hollywood gossip rags. This is how I imagine celebrity dinner parties, though I doubt they are actually that awesome.
Fortunately, thanks to NBC, we’ll find out exactly what happens during celeb get-togethers. In Celebrity Come Dine with Me a famous host invites four of her pals to dinner, and at the end of the night, the party is judged on presentation, food, and entertainment value. I’d wager that the entertainment value rises exponentially with the amount of booze consumed. If someone isn’t sleeping over on the couch at the end of the night, I consider my dinner party a failure. I suspect celebrities have different standards of success. (And hopefully more class.)
If you could wine and dine with any celebrity, who would it be?
There's lots of celebs I'd like to meet, but only a few I'd want to hang with. Who would I like to be wined 'n dined by? I think a Jack Nicholson/Dennis Hopper tag team would be quite nice. Think about it: together they've got 5 decades acting, 142 award noms, 11 baby mamas, 9 kids between 'em, 5 Oscar wins, a multitude of stories, and probably even a partridge in a pear tree for good measure!
