If you took something from a celeb, what would it be?
November 15, 2009

In late October, Los Angeles police arrested a group of teens who had gone on a crime spree among Hollywood's rich and famous.

The gang targeted celebrities including Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green, Ashley Tisdale and Rachel Bilson based on red carpet photos and then made off with millions of dollars worth of swag.

That got us thinking: there is plenty out there we want. Consider this our wish list.

Blake Lively's everything

Her hair, her eyes, her rack, her body, her boyfriend, her show, her wardrobe, her life. Seriously, we are one plane ticket to NYC away from doing a Single White Female(ing) stunt Blake. But we'll settle for being her BFF. Call us, Blake. Please.

Common's cool

He's a singer and actor and should be voted most likely to inherit Barry White's throne in terms of silky, yet dangerous delivery. How much cooler can Common get? The dude's fought off human assassins in two movies and robot assassins in a third. We want some of the ice water running through his veins.

Ed Westwick's accent

Ed does a passable American accent on Gossip Girl, but he sounds much cooler speaking in his native British accent. We know - who doesn't, right? But Ed's polished speech suits him to a T.

Gerard Butler's ego

Gerard's biggest fan is... Gerard Butler. The Law Abiding Citizen star is open about his, well, high self-esteem, as well as romancing of the various leading ladies on his films. Sign us up for that perpetual self-congratulatory mindset.

Halle Berry's chest

Rumours that the Oscar-winner and most-beautiful-list regular had breast implants early in her career have persisted, though she's always denied them. But to paraphrase Seinfeld, real or not, they're spectacular.

Jennifer Aniston's hair and body

Jennifer doesn't have a hot husband. Angelina Jolie already nabbed him. And her infamous "Rachel" flip has grown out. But we would still steal her enviable silky straight hairdo. And since she's said to have the Best Butt in Hollywood, we would like that, too. Hope there's room in the getaway van for both.

Jon Gosselin's self-delusion


We don't want the tabloid attention and we really don't want the Ed Hardy T-shirts. But it might be nice to go through life, as Jon seems to do, utterly certain that you're not in the wrong about much of anything. Self-awareness is so overrated.

Lindsay Lohan's... ummm... give us a minute...

Wait a minute, so the criteria for this list is any celebrity possession we covet at the moment, right? Well then, in Lindsay's case film career, TV career, successful fashion line, hot boyfriend (or girlfriend) and June Cleaver-like parents are crossed off the list of possibilities. Sorry LaLohan, on second thought, we don't want anything from you. Except maybe your disappearance from the celebutabs. Pardon the interruption, people.

Mr T's gold chains

Mr T, of The A-Team fame, and who was last heard in the animated film Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, blings like no other, and we pity the fool who says otherwise. We can't rock the mohawk, but having Mr T's signature chains will go a long way in making us feel one with the 1980s icon who may initially seem blustery but promotes good self-esteem and tenacity.

Megan Fox's everything... except her thumbs

She's got stunning looks, a fair bit of talent, a willingness to be candid in interviews, a batch of cool tattoos and a clear path to the Angelina Jolie throne. She also has weird hammer-shaped thumbs.

Meryl Streep's talent

That she can take a fluff piece like The Devil Wears Prada and turn it into an Oscar nod about says it all. Dame Meryl could read DVR programming instructions and manage to garner an Oscar nomination.

For the newer generations, if you haven't seen Sophie's Choice, Kramer vs Kramer or The French Lieutenant's Woman, you are really missing out on the finest actress in the last 40 years.

Michelle Obama's arms

Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Tina Turner, Madonna. All these womens have shapely, toned arms, but The First Lady is the woman of the moment who shows you can have it all: law degree, happy family and healthy physique. Since we're too impatient for hammer curls, we'll just take the arms, thank you. - LA Times
