What do you envy about a particular celebrity?

I was trying to think of something that I envy in any other person. I honestly can't think of anything. I sometimes think "Oh, I wish I could do that" but I don't dwell on it - I'm happy that other people have their abilities. I'm proud when my friends are cleverer, more attractive, more skillful, higher achieving than I am. If I don't envy people I know how can I envy a celebrity?

I just don't think I have it in me to envy. Either that, or I just don't feel the need.

I wish I had as much beauty, talent, and money as a lot of them. But I don't envy anyone. Once, I told my grandma I wish I had Jackie Onassis' money. Grandma said, "I don't. I wish I had money of my own just like it."

I wish I could have Stephen King's writing talent.

lol She sounds like a great lady

Don't be so humble, you're not that great!

Have you ever met me? Do you know me?

Wishing I had Sarah Michelle Gellar's job. But not her boyfriend.

I do wish I could sing like Whitney. I'd like to look like Elle Macphereson. I'd like to have the income of Julia Roberts. I'd like the style of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Isn't Elle Macpherson kind of thin? (she's a supermodel?)

I think she's gorgeous and tall. Yeah, she's a supermodel. And she's 6 feet tall.

I don't think I've seen pictures of her, I just thought all supermodels were disgustingly thin - but I'm no follower of models!

I'm thin. Not on purpose, I just am. I see nothing wrong with being thin, as long as you are healthy.

True, but there is thin and there is too thin. If you are healthy, you will look healthy even if you are thin. If you aren't then you will look terrible! I'm sure you're gorgeous though

I wish I had Jennifer Aniston's perfect hair.

Elle is absolutely beautiful. Not only because she's tall and toned, but her skin just looks radiant. Grrr.

I envy the courage of anonymous#1! Does he/she count as a celebrity (a C-list local celebrity....)?

Pfffffft

I don't envy any of them. I admire some.I think it's a waste of time to envy anyone

nothing

Yes, I agree. There is too thin, but I don't think all models are too thin.

heh I was thinking Brad Pitt's body before I even clicked on the question... I wouldn't mind having it for my own or just on loan...

I envy Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's sense of timing. And their good looks.

I wish I could play the flute like Krishna.

I wish I had Anna Kournikova's pussy

I envy nothing about celebrities, because with their fame comes a lack of privacy and freedom. I prefer to remain a short, fat middle-aged, medium income, moderately talented white man unperturbed by exuberant fans, con men and women, stalkers, investigations, reporters, tabloid scandals, critics and lawsuits.

There is no "celebrity talent" equal to the sensations of peace and contentment.

A lovely answer. Hugs

Your statement is a contradiction. Humility comes from contentment with one's self and abilities, not from an inflated sense of greatness.

Biggles admits she feels no need to be anything other than what she is. I feel that, too.

My talents are admitted less than any celebrity, but I like me all the same. The few things I do, I do reasonably well, but have no aspirations in excess of what I learn each day.

So, anonymous #1, how content with your life are you?
And...ahhh...who are you really?

I want Christina Aguliera's singing voice, Kate Winslet's looks and the Spice Girl's bank balances combined!

Thanks. She was.

I aspire to the apparent tirelessness and commitment of the Dali Lama. I envy how (singer song-writers) Peter Mulvey and Chris Smither can express really deep, wise, and profound feelings so succinctly. Towards those ends I managed to get out of bed by 10am this morning and am writing this comment.

Who is SMG's boyfriend? (Besides not C.)?

Freddie Prinze, Jr. Yuck.

I wish I could put on a rubber monster costume and stomp all over a model of Tokyo, just like Godzilla. It looks like so much fun!

Well, your not supposed to envy, but people sin, there's no helping it.

I'm not sure how celebrity is defined, but I will assume very well known entertainer. I guess too much. I can't think of any particular thing over another. I know a good one. David Letterman's and his job. He has gotten so powerful that he can say anything about any body and his show can do the same. All his job is is having fun any way he wants. I would love that.

I envy all celebs,cause they get to eat all the coolest FOODS,at all the coolest places,with all the coolest celebs.

I can finagle a Playboy Bunny getup and a plastic model of Whoville by next Tuesday. All I need from you is a Playboy Bunny getup and 64 dollars. We can do this.

I wish I had a penis like Tom Cruise. lol

Ummm...honestly, I can't think of anything right now. I wish I were cute like Charlize Theron and Meg Ryan are.

I don't envy celebrities.

Just the money. The rest I can easily do without. Since I feel that way, how can I envy them? I guess I don't because of what they have to put up with in order to make that kind of money...

OK then, nothing...

Even that would get boring if you did it everytime you wanted too. I'm thinking back to our earlier days, struggling to keep things up; a night out at a good restaurant was an event. Now that we can afford to go, I find that we are getting fussier about restaurants and we are finding less and less really good ones. It's ironic.

I wish I had a good singing voice. Can't think of anyone in particular.

Jennifer Lopez wishes she had ASB's ass.

Envy... no. Admire... yes.

There are plenty of people (not just celebrities) that possess qualities I admire, and that I aspire to have. But I don't envy them for it.

Is it the food that is turning you off,or is it the service,or is it because,it's all starting to seem mundane?

In my case,I can Never grow bored of FOOD........& THAT'S my whole problem,right there.

Too me,there is always that one exotic dish that I still haven't tried.

I like exotic (I go out with my girlfriend for exotic), my husband is less brave. So, say we stick to French cuisine for my husband's sake; my son (who's happy with a plate of pasta or a hamburger) calls us fussy. We tried to explain to him that when you pay so much money for a plate of food; it better be darn good.

I guess, we look for good food first. The service is not so important if they serve you a plate of crap! We happened on such a restaurant that had had it's hey-day back in the 70's. It was a little shabby, tired looking but the menu boasted of wonderful delights. We won't go there again! We should know better, when the praise for such restaurants is from newspaper clippings dating from beyond 1980 - forget it! In fact, it was a little sad to see gray haired men, in tuxedos, as professional as ever, servicing a "chick" wearing jeans and drinking her beer from the bottle. I was no better, I was wearing my work clothes, we do live in a much more liberal time. It was just sad to see these "masters" of their trade in this new situation. There is no room for "grandeur" anymore (unless you are as wealthy as a sheik and then again, there are not too many places like that around). So I guess service is not as important as the food they serve you. It just has got to be better than what I can cook!!

Tell me about it. I can't cook for $#@%,but I sure can appreciate someone else good home cooking.The only dishes I can cook is your standard ALL American(hamburgers,& hot dogs) But,when I'm in a REALLY good mood, & feeling creative,I'll whip up some cool Oriental home style dishes.In fact that's about all,I really do know how TO cook.David does all the home style Italian dishes.His family is Italian.

I love Italian cooking but strangely, I avoid pommo doro! I work for Italians; they are not the ones for restaurant food and they think that I spend way too much money on them. They firmly believe that the only good cooking is what comes out of their kitchen. As much as they hate to admit it, they think that I am the only non-Italian employee that knows how to eat! My spaghetti meat sauce even got the seal of approval from the son-in-law, of course the daughter had to say that there was too much pepper! That comes from the same girl that says about the sexy young customer that came by the shop for "the tour"; "She's not THAT good looking!" She is crazy, the girl is beautiful (inside-I know from telephone conversations and outside; I SAW her!), the boss' daughter is just jealous...of her and my sauce!!

$64 Hmmm...So are you going to wear the other one? Where are we going to do this? Maybe we should have an audience...we might be able to recoup some of the outlay...

All of their incomes.
Jennifer Aniston's body.

I was thinking we could do this at your local high school's gymnasium. Kids love that sort of thing. We could get the promoters from the old World Championship Wrestling federation to pull in the crowds. We'll play that rocking White Geezer music to really get 'em pumped up, then Zang starts stompin'!

Oh... the crowds... the cheering, adoring crowds...
*lifts face to the imagined sound of cheering*

Ohhhhhh,I hope your happy now,you've gone & made me hungry.I feel like Lingunie & White Clam sauce,with some nice hot garlic/butter bread.MMmmmmmmmmmmmmm Do you know how to make pizza from scratch? I like anchovies on mine.My family won't touch my side of the pizza when I order it that way.

**Oops,there goes my tummy**

Speaking of which,No ones made any FOOD surveys lately.I wonder what's up with that.Come on people!!!Where are the FOOD surveys????

Sorry about that emotional out burst.I tend to get that way when I'm hungry.

My husband is the anchovy freak. He just admitted to me recently that he has to stop eating them; besides giving him the "thirst of the Gods", it now gives him heartburn!

My favorite place for anchovies is NOT on a pizza! Here goes;

6-8 filets of anchovy
1/4 lb of butter
3-10 cloves of garlic (depends on how much you like garlic!)
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best)
ground pepper (lotsa peppa - and F.... the boss' daughter!)

Blend all ingredients together to make a paste, then toss with preferred cooked pasta. Serve immediately with a good Chianti wine, escarole salad and fresh bread!

Mmmmmmmmm! I'm starting to get hungry myself!

Oh my God, I don't even LIKE anchovies and that STILL sounds tasty! Now you have MY stomach rumbling!

I don't care for them either, but this recipe is the greatest. It comes from a recipe book published in the 50's by the son of Maman Leone's (famous restaurant in NY). I don't know if Leone's is still open, if not, go to Angelo's of Mulberry Street. The food is just to die for!!

Bill Gates' money.

Great idea! I like it! The only problem I foresee is that most high school principals around here would be way too politically correct to allow a performance involving people wearing playboy bunny outfits. We'll have to spring that part on them at the last possible moment and then deal with the repercussions afterwards. Possibly by sneaking/running away...

Hail Pasta Goddess!!! Your my FOOD heroine.I love that recipe,it sounds soooooo tasty!! I'm gonna try that sometime next weekend,as it's a little late for me to plan that meal right now.

Yeah, we'll go with the whole "Godzilla" theme as a clever ruse. BUT, the way I see it, once the authoritites see you in that cute little outfit, well, the only thing you'll be running from is adoration!

Angelo's is now duly noted in my list of great SC suggestions!

Let me know how it is received - remember, the pasta must be al dente!

Are you anywhere near NY? If so, do please go and have the veal marsala....
This restaurant is truly Italian, in the evening, if you order a fish dish - you get fish, just fish! You have to order your vegetables as side dishes. It's not like other restaurants where they put whatever vegetable is available in your plate.
*gotta go wipe the drool off my chin*

I live in NYC!
Angelo's, here I come!

Ahhhhh! How wonderful for you! (Aside from the recent tragegies)
Savour everything for me and let me know when you go!

Will do!

The only way I like my pasta.
Thanks Again Irene007.....

I wish I had Brad Pitt's body....

What would SueBee do if you have Brad Pitt's body?

You know what I mean!

Faith Hill-- I wish I had a great, loving, romantic man like Tim McGraw.

Christina Agulara because she has come back from the accident

Jemmy is very pretty.

What happened to Christina Aguilera? She had an accident?

Thank you!

Wish i looked like Buffy.

your welcome

Smooch!!!

I wish I could run a football like Walter Payton did.
