I was privileged to know the late, great Miss Etta James, and I did get a chance to spend some time with her and hang out with her.

I met my darling wife Wilnelia in 1980 when we were on the judging panel for the Miss World contest at the Royal Albert Hall. With two ex-wives and five daughters, I thought I wouldn't be involved with anyone for a long time - if ever. Winnie was so gorgeous, my jaw dropped - and it's a big jaw to drop.

I was lucky enough to meet the Material Girl twice.

When I was a kid, I always had a big thing for Dannii Minogue. Initially I liked Kylie, but I quickly moved on to Dannii. There was always something more alluring about her. I think I actually wrote to her asking if we could meet.

My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She'd buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.

Even though I never worked with her, it was still really cool to have Brooke Shields on set. She was so nice and so funny.

Janet Jackson is an icon, I've been honored to meet her a few times, working with her would be amazing.

I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
