QOTD: Wednesday (hump day)

In honor of hump day:

If you could have a "hall pass" from your DH for 1 DAY to go out with someone famous (full day event), who would it be and what would you do? 

(This idea was from the radio the other day when they asked what famous person you'd sleep with if you could have a "hall pass")

Re: QOTD: Wednesday (hump day)

  • That is a tough one, but I think I would choose John Cusack....
  • honestly?  I'd probably rather just hang out with Nigella Lawson, cooking & eating, than try to get it on with some hot famous dude.


  • I am a TOTAL weirdo when it comes to celebs.  While I find some famous people attractive, I have no desire to meet them in person - I feel like a date would be awkward and weird.  I was probably the only kid that didn't cut out a single picture from BOP and Tiger Beat, or have posters of the Backstreet Boys.

    This was pretty much cemented when I spent a few hours with Owen Wilson and Reese Witherspoon when they filmed "How do you know" in DC, and it was a really bizarre experience.

    So I'll just keep DH :)

    LOL, yeah this is me.  I figure if we're cooking then at least there's an "activity" to talk about to help me from turning into a mute.

  • Like Kastle with Nigella, it's well-known that I have a girl crush on Giada (we'd spend the day cooking pasta and eating Nutella, of course), but otherwise, I'd go on a date with Matt Damon. He's been my longtime favorite. He seems to be a normal guy.
  • I think I'm going to have to go with Jon Hamm. He is super good looking, but he also seems like a pretty down-to-earth guy and really funny too. Clearly we're destined for each other (sorry, DH).

    Yes

    i'd like for nigella to cook for my date with ewan mcgregor

  • Most likely Daniel Tosh.  We have the same sense of humor and it would be a riot to just sit somewhere, watch people and make comments.
  • oh, i change my answer from ewan to chris o'dowd (the cop in bridesmaids), i lurve him! i still want nigella to cook for us.

  • Maybe Jon Stewart, because he'd definitely keep me entertained for an entire day.

  • I'm going to have to go with Jeffrey Donovan (he plays Michael Westen in Burn Notice) - though I think I'd have to fight DH on who got to hang out with him - I think he has a little boy crush on him too.  I'd prefer for him to be in character, or naked. 
  • How about Bono? We could talk about the causes we have in common, and if no sparks fly, maybe he could sing to me.

    Or if we don't have to chat much, Bradley Cooper.

  • I have had a crush on Brad Pitt ever since I first say him in a River Runs Through It, but he seems like such a drag lately. I wouldn't want to sit around talking about our kids...so I think I'd "settle" (lol) for his pal George Clooney. He seems to have a good sense of humor and I like his politics. And I'd want to go somewhere fancy with him so he could wear a tux. He looks fab in a tux :-)
  • I'd actually want to go on a double date - me and DH with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. They're my favorite couple in Hollywood!
  • I would like Maxwell to follow me around and serenade me all day long.  Every once in a while he could tuck the hair behind my ear while looking longfully in my eyes and I would blush and then carry on with whatever I am doing.

    He could woo you in French!

    i didn't choose jon hamm because DH has a big mancrush on him too

  • This is a toughie for me.  Since we are spending all day together, I would like to have someone who is funny.  In honor of Hall Pass, I would go with Jason Sudeikis.  I think he's hilarious and very cute.  Plus he was born in Fairfax, so something to talk about!  Never mind that I look nothing like January Jones or Olivia Wilde...

    Coming in a close second as a more "realistic" choice is Kyle Chandler (Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights). 

    I have loved George Clooney since he was on the Facts of Life, but I'm not sure if I could spend all day with him - his politics are a deal breaker for me.  BUT - if it was, say, an hour, he would definitely be my top choice!

  • Hmm... I'd vote for either Bradley Cooper (we could talk DC and Philly stuff, plus he's just so pretty to look at) or Johnny Whitworth circa Empire Records (hey, as long as we're dreaming, he might as well be 15 years younger...).

  • Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. We'd go to a Red Sox game and have seats right behind home plate.
  • so many men...so little time!

    I know nothing about his personality but a day at the beach with Sawyer from LOST would be awesome.

    Matt Damon or Ben Affleck - we could talk about our adorable babies.

    Totally non-sexual, I'd love to spend a day with Bill Clinton, I think we could just talk and talk and talk all day.

    I won't say no to George Clooney or Bradley Cooper either.

    Sorry, I can't pick just one!

    Oh, I'll take any of your sloppy seconds here. These guys are all wonderful.

    Clearly we should be friends -- as my answer would be identical.  Let's double date with the two of them!  And I agree -- fancy, tux wearing location.

  • Ryan Seacrest, hands down. Some of my friends (who don't understand my obsession with him) tease me relentlessly, but some really understand the whole package that is Ryan. 

    He's ridiculously good looking (IMO), funny, adventurous, insightful, and I think I'd have a blast with him for a day.  Too bad he's really, REALLY committed to Julianne Hough right now.

    see, for me, he will ALWAYS be the douchebag boyfriend from adventures in babysitting. where he's wearing a freakin' cropped red sweatshirt Ick!

  • I would spend the day with President Obama serenading me with Al Green songs.

    but he had the license plate "so cool!" (that Stephanie Plexer is such a sleeze)

  • Hugh Jackman.  I lurve him.  Honestly, I'd just want to look at him and listen to his British accent.
