So the main question here is: Which celebrities would you like to be fake-engaged to? I’ve got three choices in mind (and I’m not going completely A-list here, because I have a feeling the George Clooneys of the world have better things to do)…
1) David Cook. Since my mother is a Cougar 4 Cook, I would love to see how she’d handle seeing the American Idol champ go from someone who “acts like a man” to someone who acts like a douchewaffle. I’m telling you, it would be the time of my life.
2) James Franco. Because, judging by his guest appearance on General Hospital, this guy can play crazy. And for those of you who might claim he’s too A-list to dabble in reality show fare, well, the grad student could just turn the whole experience into his thesis.
3) Jesse Spencer. The point of My Parents is winning money. And the longer you can convince your parents that you’re marrying this obnoxious celeb, the more green you score. Hence my Jesse Spencer strategy — Since the House star bears an uncanny resemblance to my own, real-life boyfriend (I’m a lucky gal), I could likely keep the farce going for days without even telling them it’s Dr. Chase.
Your turn, PopWatchers. Which celebrities would you like to be your fake fiancés?
Your bf looks like Jesse Spencer? Un. fair.
Jeff Probst, Chris Cuomo or Ashley Judd. It would have to be a pretty elaborate scheme considering I am already married with children, but for these three, I’d happily put my parents and family into therapy afterwards.
Love Jesse Spencer! My husband already looks exactly like James Franco, so I’d probably win a lot of money.
Mickey Rourke.
Kate Ward, we’re no longer speaking if your boyfriend looks like Jesse Spencer. The universe is not fair.
I really think this post was simply an elaborate reason for Kate to brag that her boyfriend looks like Jesse Spencer.
If my boyfriend looked like Jesse Spencer, I’d be bragging too.
Yeah, she has bragging rights. Let her utlise them.
I’ll just go off and make Jesse Spencer my real-life fiance. He’s damn adorable (though I would be willing to settle for merely a fake fiance).
James Franco would probably be hilarious, and Jesse Spencer rocks. Personally, I’d pick David Tennant – not only because he’s an incredible actor and the chance to even MEET him would be amazing, but also because my parents already know I’m a big fan of his so it would be more believable.
Lee Pace please.
Your mother is a smart lady if she is a cougar for Cook!
Your mother has excellent taste, but seriously I wouldn’t want to see him be a douchewaffle (LOL).
David Cook being obnoxious? Don’t know if he can pull that off. He is way too nice.
Zachary Levi, pretty please. His real-life girlfriend is one lucky lady.
Joshua Jackson, please. Please.
Jimmy Kimmel would be fun!
David Cook…but I couldn’t handle him acting like the douchewaffle he’s soo not. lol. But him anyway cuz I luv him.
Jesse Spencer sounds good…we could even have a fake wedding (at which I would pull a Miss Piggy from Muppets Take Manhattan and have a real minister presiding).
