Which six celebrities would you invite to a dinner party?

Date Posted: 01-07-2008

It's an age old question that can say a lot about who you are.

If you could invite anyone at all, alive or no longer of this world to a dinner party, who would it be?

Would you prefer an evening of witty repertoire and anecdotes with some of the brightest minds that history has known or would you invite some of the finest foodies of our time? Or, would you be like us here at de Groots Media and invite Johhny Depp, Sean Connery, Orlando Bloom, Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney and Clark Gable?

If the choice was yours, who would you pick and why?

Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra (sinatra is michael's idol)
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise (so Nic can rub it in as to how BIG her career is now that Tom's gone)
Josh Groban and Celine Dion (to provide the dinner entertainment)

I love eating out at great restaurants, but since having kids I don't get much time. My husband cooks at home for us - with his own unique receipes - which are great..

I'd love to have dinner out with:
1) My husband - we love to go out for fabulous meals.
2) The chef of the restaurant I'm going to - to give a full description of the tastes, methods and reasons for each dish I have... :)
3) The winemaker of the wine I drink - to give a comentary on what I'm driking....
4) My kids - I love spending time with them
5) A babysitter - to help look after my kids, so I can concentrate on enjoying my meal...
6) A known food critique - so that we get great service from our restaruant experience... :)

Oooh I would definately have to invite some fab celeb chefs: Gordan Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Toby Puttock, Luke Mangan, Cutis Stone & Ainsley Harriott. The perfect mix of great copmany & wherever we dined they would be sure to want to impress our table...cause if they didn't I'm sure at least one of them would be saying exactly what he though!!! :O)

For a dinner party, I love to see that food and company complement each other. My husband and I were born in different countries. We love different cultures

Clive James - witty , well travelled, intellectual, we simply adore him!!!
Elton John - apart from his obvious attributes he owns a soccer Club and we love soccer
Platini - UEFA President for soccer, he is French, knows his cuisine and used to be a player for French national team. He is an approachable person with a good sense of humour.
Nigella Lawson - Isnt it obvious? My husband melts with her choice of words for food besides her looks!
Tobie Puttock - I can easily adopt him as my son and let him show me how to cook in my kitchen
Madeleine Albright - First US woman Secretary of State ; she once said that she knew how to use her charm as a female in international politics...I love to listen to her!

Hmmm, I guess laughter and deep conversation would be high on my priority list. At first I thought - sportsmen, but the many I know already are self-obsessed and only really talk passionately about their jobs. So here's my six guests...

Ricky Gervais
Edward De Bono
Jim Morrison
Owen Wilson
Albert Einstein
Kate Beckinsale (for my own selfish reasons)

I think that'd make the perfect mix for a fun night.

PS. Can I pick my chef too? Having Ramsey abuse us from the kitchen every now and then would be good.

Queen of the kitchen, the cultural Maggie Beer
Then there's Carson Kresley for his fashion sense, laughs and good cheer.
Chris Lilley for his multiple personas, what great value here
Magda Subanski, she's definitely great gear.
And of course, Michael Buble to entertain us, he's the talent of the year.
The sixth, Ainsley Harriott, great chef, charmer and damn sexy!!
