It's my party & I'll invite who I want to

Living or dead what (assuming famous) people would you like to invite to a once-in-a-lifetime dinner party (and why)?

Oooh...thanks Deb over at Home Life Simplified for this week's Listmania challenge. And by 'challenge' I mean 'holy shitballs, that's a hard one'.

Who would I invite for a soiree at Chez Cutmymilk?

Hmmm.

I quizzed the Big Guy, Timbo, about it. He knows stuff. Who would he invite?

Ted Whitten (legendary Footscray Bulldogs football player of the 1950s and 60s), Michael J Fox, Charles Dickens, George Clooney (surprise entry there - guess he's not just sexy to the ladies), Bill Clinton and Bob Hawke (Australian Prime Minister from 1983-91, but Tim probably chose him for his ability to down 2 and a half pints of beer in 11 seconds in 1955, putting him in the Guinness Book of Records). Tim likes buffoonery like that.

I thought we could make a party of it and invite both Tim's guests and mine, and doing so avoid the awkward obligation of having to invite each other. But in doing so, I no longer can host the dinner party I really want - Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kinney, Keanu Reeves and Ian Somerhalder (shirts optional). So none of these naughty naughty boys can be there (stiffles sob).

I would ask:
Johnny Depp.
I think he'd be a very interesting person to talk with, not just about his acting career but about his music, tattoos, wine making and his children.






Ellen DeGeneres.

I love everything about Ellen. I love her style. I love her voice. I love her natural gift for observational humour. I love that she loves an Aussie. I think we would become BFFs.





Princess Diana.

I would love to chat about her charities and patronage and all of the things she was passionate about - and there were many. I would love to hear about her life before royalty, as she led a rather 'normal' life before becoming such an iconic figure.





George Clooney.

Apart from being a sexy sexy beast, I would love to hear about his humanitarian work and his acting career. He can sit next to Ellen.







Andrew O'Keefe.

Andrew is an Australian lawyer-turned-comedian-game-show-host-and-news-presenter who has a sharp intelligent wit and would make fascinating company.






Tom Hanks.

I just love Tom Hanks, for being Tom Hanks.








I think there would be a balance of personalities here to keep the night rolling. Although it would be entertaining to fill an evening with Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Joan Rivers and Charlie Sheen, but I think I get my dose of over stimulation here with my kids daily, and I would need to be bat-shit crazy and/or drunk to cope with the night.They would be like a Jager Bomb enema. And we know how much fun that would be.

Let's make it a big night and you're all invited. Who would you bring?

Let me know in the comments below or head over to the Cut My Milk Facebook page and add your names to the list so the door bitch will let you in.

  1. Awesome list (and love that you involved Hubby - i am so posing this to my hubby at our dinner when he gets back or over the phone this week). I wish I had thought to include Ellen - LOVE her so much.

    1. Each week I ask Tim for his thoughts on the topic given. His answers are usually very different to mine. I was surprised, and very impressed, that he didn't have a party of Playboy Bunnies and so on. Very good boy, Tim.

  2. Oh yes Ellen would be a wonderful guest! You are very kind inviting your hubby. I am not sure mine would make the cut...

    1. I thought I'd better invite my husband as I noticed others had on their lists!

      With his guests and my guests I'm sure we'd have to bump into each other at some point. Unless I'm in the kitchen. As usual. Oh the martyrdom...

  3. Ah, how could I have forgotten to invite Ellen, Michael J. Fox and Johnny Depp to mine? Just those three alone would be a night of all kinds of awesome.

    1. I think we should all start to assume Ellen would just be there. She wouldn't need an invitation. Being my BBF and all...

  5. Oh great list! Ellen would be great! Nope my hubby didn't get an invite (but hey he isn't famous - famous people only!) He can cook if he wants though!

    1. I need to follow the great idea of having Jaime Oliver over. When he's done cooking he can come join us. Only after Banoffee Pie. I felt I had to have Tim there.

  6. Well done, I couldn't get past Johnny Depp for mine!
