WHAT FOOD OR DRINK ITEM CAN YOU NOT GO A DAY WITHOUT?

MG: Cheese. I live for cheese. I don’t know why, but I just need it. I went to Paris where it’s totally okay to eat cheese for breakfast and I almost never left. Cheese on pizza, nachos, by itself, on a sandwich or just really good brie on a cracker with some spicy jelly ... Oh god, I just got so hungry.

CR: Crystal Light because it helps me stay hydrated and goes great with vodka.

IF YOU COULD PICK ANY CELEBRITY TO GET TOGETHER WITH, DEAD OR ALIVE, WHO WOULD IT BE ?

MG: It would be Cindy Morgan in 1980. She plays Lacey Underall in the movie Caddyshack. The scene where Chevy Chase gives her the massage and does the fake shot. I was too young to see it when it came out, but I remember the first time I saw that scene a few years ago, thinking to myself, I want to live in this scene. I heard they totally improvised it. Chevy Chase was a charming devil in his day! I’m not one of those guys that’s super into Caddyshack. I’ve never even played golf. But the one time I saw it, I was all about that scene.

CR: I’d choose Justin Timberlake because it’s Justin Timberlake. I don’t really think that answer needs any explanation.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FIRST KISS. DISH!

MG: Fifth grade and it was a doozie. Her name was Gwen. I bought her a ring and asked her to be my girlfriend. She said yes. It lasted a few hours. It’s painful and I don’t want to go into it, but we really had something (haha). It’s a good thing it was a good kiss, because I was a super nerd and didn’t get kissed again until high school.

CR: It was with my first real boyfriend, Brad. I was in high school and we were at a “party” in the middle of a country road because that’s what you do in super small towns. So romantic.

WHAT STYLE OR CLOTHING ITEM DO YOU WISH YOU COULD PULL OFF?

MG: I would really like to wear ripped-up T-shirts more, but I’m really pale. Like, glow in the dark pale. It’s hard to sleep at night with all of the glowing light emanating from my baby-fine Irish skin.

CR: Old school Britney Spears. I can’t pull it off because I’m not as awesome as her and it really would not be cool in 2010.

WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU PLAY IN A POST-APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE WORLD?

MG: I love zombies so much. 28 Days Later remains in my top five movies of all time. I want to be the guy running from them, though. Maybe surviving quietly off canned food with a great haircut and some killer boots. I also need a really hot, special lady to sport those killer boots for, reproduce the human race with and eventually sacrifice myself for in a heart-wrenching scene where I stay behind to slow down.

CR: I’d be an ass-kicking heroine so we could get everything back together and normal again.
