Cast #3: People I Want To Have Lunch With

There are some people that are so interesting, creative, and cool that I would like the opportunity to host a lunch, invite them all, and just listen to them talk. This week's list:



Mo ROCCA (No one makes me laugh more than Mo Rocca.)



CHER (As opposed to Madonna, Cher is extraordinarily multi-talented and so "remaking" and "reinventing" herself actually results in something worthwhile. And, no, I'm not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.)




ROB DYRDEK (This guy makes me laugh almost as much as Mo Rocca [see above]. I want to spend a week playing at his fantasy-land warehouse, including holding and loving Meaty and Lil' Meaty).



CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR (She is fearless and I would love to do the work she does.)





DR. DOUGLAS MELTON (This guy is so cool. "Trained as a molecular biologist in amphibian development, Melton began the work he pursues today: trying to find a way to make insulin-producing cells by using stem cells. 'It was a courageous thing to do because he was at the pinnacle of his career,' says [his wife] Gail. 'He brought home textbooks on the pancreas to figure it all out.' Nearly two decades later, Melton is convinced that stem cells will be a critical part of new therapies that will treat and maybe cure not only diabetes but also other diseases for which there are no answers today."
