NBC has plotted a new reality show with the working title “Celebrity Come Dine With Me” — in each episode, a famous person hosts a dinner party for four of their star-power friends, then it’s judged on presentation, food and entertainment value. I like this very much.

While I appreciate PopWatch’s choice host of George Clooney, I think the fete will resemble a too-tired Ocean’s movie or an episode of Oprah (you know, Julia, Brad, Matty D.). Therefore …

I nominate the uber-particular Reese Witherspoon. And I suggest that she get her little butt into the kitchen and whip up a man’s meal for her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and his man-friends, Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey.

(They say it’s supposed to include the host plus four famous faces, but Reese would never go for a five-person dinner party — that would be an uneven table setting. Nevs!)

So much we’d witness:

Jake as a Whipped Partner.
Lance, having gotten whooped by Kate Hudson. Depressed mutterings. Interrogating Matthew on his onscreen makeouts with Kate.
Matthew, chewing on toothpicks at the table, much to Reese’s chagrin, dominating the conversation with not-dinner-party-appropriate conversation — like planting placenta juice in an orchard.
Reese, with that beady-eyed look that she gets when the situation becomes frustrating. And dirty. Boys are dirty!

And, why has it been so long since these men got together? Was there a man-(girl)fight? These are things we need to know. Over some pink champagne, natch.
