FN Blog - Seven heads are better than one!

When I was a kid, my grand plan was to win Miss Universe, then move to Hollywood and become a star. I was supposed to be a triple threat—singer-dancer-actress, and incredibly good at all three (rather than just being a Jill of all trades).

But then I never grew to meet the minimum height requirement for any sort of beauty pageant. Olats! So much for Hollywood. I am thus left to fantasize that I am one of the following:

Jessica Alba – Just so I would know what it feels like to have a body that women would hate me for, and that men would worship!

Reese Witherspoon – It’s not just because of her talent. She’s so different from most of the stars in Hollywood now. Even though she’s one of the highest-paid actresses around, she seems really grounded. Plus, she’s well respected.

Vanessa Paradis – So that I could raise a family with Johnny Depp. I figured out that the celebrities that appeal to me can’t just look good—they have to have something to back them up. For example, I find Hugh Jackman attractive, but haven’t been impressed by his roles; Johnny Depp, on the other hand, seems like he’s all depth and substance, and has such an interesting body of work.

Rhea Durham – So that I could know what it’s like to be in the arms of a chiseled Mark Wahlberg. (I quite like dem bad boys…and hey, the dude’s talented!)

Shakira – For the following reasons: 1) She’s got talent, and not just flash, 2) She’s a self-made woman, 3) She’s very eloquent, 4) Education is her advocacy (and I’m realizing that it’s one of mine, as well), 5) She’s good friends with Gabriel Garcia-Marquez!!! (For this reason alone, I would like to be her! I can’’ imagine what it’s like to have GGM write about me!), and 6) While I can hold my own in a bum-shaking contest, Shakira’s hip-busting moves are on a completely different level!

Then again, I’d take being a real live Peter Petrelli over being a celebrity any old day.
