If you were to have dinner with three celebrities today, who would it be with and why?

For me, it would easily be Derek Jeter, Ray Lewis, and Michael Jordan. Jeter for Leadership, Lewis for Motivation, and Michael for Perseverance.

Sir, respectfully I say none. Celebrities are, for the most part, nothing more than overpaid crybabies. Are there some good people out there, whether actors, musicians, artists, athletes? Yes, but personally I refuse to elevate them to a status above what they are.

Gary Sinise, Chuck Norris, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Gary Sinise is one of the most active and outspoken supporters of our vets and troops overseas. Additionally, you gotta love the tunes from he and the Lt. Dan Band.

Jennifer Love Hewitt - another great supporter of troops and vets. A good friend was evaced back from Iraq to Walter Reed and couldn't stop talking and smiling after receiving a visit from her (she regularly visits wounded warriors and has become a spokesperson for the VA, DAV and VFW)

Chuck Norris - You don't need a reason to have dinner with Chuck Norris. He's Chuck Norris!

Well, kind of already done that ..... but here are three interesting ones for you.

Sen. John Glenn - during my growing up years he was/is a family friend we would see several times a year. Not as often now but did talk to him just earlier this year. He & Annie have been together a long time & he still resides in Ohio.

Dr. Forrest Bird, M.D., Sc.D., Ph.D. - still see him every few years. He lives out on a ranch in Sandpoint Idaho. He is a great inventor, he has more stories than you can imagine, and he is still flying his own planes well into his 80's. He invented the respirator and also air pressurization for Bill Lear's jets.

Jerry Springer - yes, THAT Jerry Springer. His family lived in the condo upstairs when I lived just outside of Cincinnati. He went from a news anchor, to a city mayor, to a talk show host. He is very different in person than he is on camera but it's true while mayor he was busted for writing a rubber check to a prostitute.

Randy Gage, Eric Worre, and Jordan Adler because they have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands across the globe with the gift of the blueprint for financial independence.

Bill Cosby- loved watching him growing up, I enjoy listening to his comedy now and an extremely smart man.

Pres. G.W. Bush- I'm a huge fan of how he has continued to work with our wounded vets.

Dwayne Johnson--just because I have a crush.

Wow, don't I feel like a lowbrow - I came in to name the names of the hottest female celebrities and see that people are actually answering intellectually!

Mr & Mrs (Gisele Bundchen) Tom Brady. I'd just love to see that whole super model/super athlete dynamic in action and find out who really wears the shoulder pads in the family. Morgan Freeman - I've been watching him since "The Electric Company" and think he's just a great actor and personality.

For me it would be:

Michael Strahan - He seems cool as a athlete and a person and would be a great motivator in my mind.

Dwayne Johnson - He's built himself up from humble beginnings and not to mention eye candy for me! ;-)

German Chancelor Angela Merkel - For her leadership abilities.

This is going to sound REALLY crazy, but as I think about it I would like an opportunity to sit down to dinner with our President, Vice-President and Harry Reid. Why? Because as much as I disagree with their political views I would like to believe they are not bad people, and I would like a chance to talk over a meal. I imagine I would have the hardest time finding common ground with Senator Reid...

Sean Connery - Thank him for the outstanding entertainment he provides
