I go through celebrity crush phases. When I was young I plastered my walls with magazine posters of Kirk Cameron and Chris Young. Then there was my New Kids on the Block phase which was out of control. I crushed hard on Joey McIntyre...actually, I still think he’s hot. Then I got a little older and my crushes changed to the lead singer of Faith No More and the Nelson Twins. (Shut UP.. I know...I KNOW, ok? Leave me alone).
You’d think being 31 years old I would grow out of this type of celeb-obsession. No. Although, I don’t put pin-ups of the crushes I get now all over my bedroom walls. I think my husband would sprain his eyes rolling them if I did that. I’ve gone through a few phases… I crushed madly on Ryan Phillipe for a while… then the guy from Roswell, Jason Behr.... the man has some serious abs, people. Then there was the Tom Welling era… which was brief and came on the heels of the Jason Behr crush because they are practically genetically enhanced twins. I went through a Katherine Moenning phase when The L Word came out. She happens to have the same birthday as Reilly. And spells her first name the same way I do. I’m just sayin’… *shifts awkwardly*
Right now I am juggling a few of them and I thought I would humiliate myself even further for your amusement.
First and at the top top tippy top of my list is Milo Ventimiglia. Not only is he hot in Heroes, that’s a given, but he’s got that Stalone-esque smile that gives him one of those out of the ordinary sexies. Plus I’ve seen montages of him kissing actresses on YouTube (oh shut up like you don’t watch those… *looks around*) and let’s just say.... rowr.
The next spot at the moment goes to Ryan Reynolds. He’s a good looking guy but he is funny in the same way the cute guy in Spanish class used to be. Funny + Cute = Hump-able. I heard he is or was dating Scarlet Johansen and she’s not a gross bony twig like a lot of actresses are right now and that gives him bonus points.
Patrick Dempsey. Ok some of you are probably barfing a little in your mouth but bear with me. This crush is linked in to the Can’t Buy Me Love days and now that he’s on tv playing Mr. McSensitive is just conjures up images of a young him on a lawn mower. Only now he’s got that older man thing goin’ on. Ok, I’ll shut up.
Ok your turn. Help me not feel like a total creepy pervert. *run awayyyy.. run awayyy..*

from OC, baby
Um, I’m considering moving to Austin so I can stalk the dude who plays Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights. Who’s the creepy pervert now?
from your moms.
I made a similar list about a month ago. Patrick Dempsey’s on my crush list, too. If you’re interested, my list is at http://alohafromthemidwest.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-mcdreamy.html. Absolute first crush? Ralph Maccio of Karate Kid fame. I actually saw him first in the movie, The Outsiders. Now THAT crush is a hard one to admit.
from Tampa, FL
Oooh I have some that make me cry now when I think about it.
Corey Haim, Simon LeBon, *screams* Kip Winger…
Then, Bret Hart. The WWF Wrestler. He STILL makes me sweat.
Bret took up a lot of years, so there was only a short-time crush on Antonio Banderas there for awhile, and then it was all Bret-all the time.
I like older men. The younger ones don’t really do it for me anymore. I like the rough and tumble look, like that of Hugh Laurie. Mmmm. Loves me some Hugh. And Denzel...even though he isn’t rough and tumble. And the older Mister Clooney gets, the more I am liking it.
Oh and I used to dream about Mickey Rourke BEFORE the awful plastic surgery. I used to watch Angelheart about twice a week to get my fix.
How I go from Haim to Rourke is beyond even my comprehension. As you can see, there is not one set ‘look’ that I like.
oh. And my REALLY guilt ridden crush? Randy from Home Improvement. I never ever watched that show. Then one day I came across a picture of that kid (when he was older) and was all ‘DAMN’!! I got all hot and bothered and then when I did a bit of research found he was only like 17 or something. I felt so dirty. I never allowed myself to look at, or think of him again. Good LORD.

I cannot believe I just actually put all that out there! HAHAHAHAA!!
from Florida
I am hopelessly in love with Patrick Dempsey.
Thanks for sharing the Nelson Twin one. Had a good laugh
from columbia, mo
Isn’t Ryan Reynolds perfect? The scene in Van Wilder when he drops his robe for the art class makes me feel a little faint.

Cocktail: Your Mom
I used to like George Clooney, back in the late 90’s before he got all weird. He’s still hot, just a little weird.
I’ll always love Mariska Hargitay. That’s a crush that never goes away. And I’d do Ryan Reynolds hard. (you know, if I wasn’t married)
from Orlando, FL
Cocktail: Cabernet Sauvignon; gallons of it.
OK, now I’ll date myself…
I totally had a crush on Kate Jackson while she was on Charlie’s Angels. And [ugh… I’m throwing up in my mouth a bit] Margo Kidder when she was in the first Superman movie. Of course, Jodie Foster. I adore Jennifer Garner.
I’m feeling like a creepy [old] lesbo. Blech.

@CLD: hahahah! nah, Jennifer Garner is hot! I’m all over Jennifer Garner. lol. Well, I would be if I could get Ben Affleck out of the room…
from your moms.
Oh, Patrick Dempsey is on my list too! The rest of my list is mostly boring and predictable: Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, etc. You know, now that I think about it, I need a new celebrity boyfriend!

@CLD and Joelle: We could drug Ben Affleck with Aqua Dots and jump her.... ?

@Kathy: and make sure while he’s out we do something to ensure he can never contribute as an “actor” in another movie. I was embarrassed for Jennifer when I watched that goofy movie where he was a blind super-hero and she was the hot, HOT Electra.
from your moms.
@Whoorl: Dude, I am so with you. Let’s stalk Tim Riggins together!
I am so in love with Christian Bale it isn’t funny. And I don’t even know why. He has a weird mouth/teeth, and that mole beside his eye is a little annoying. Still, I would so be all over that.
Zach Braff is another weird one. Although I find him less cute now than I did during his Garden State stuff. He’s still funny enough to make me laugh my ass off, though.
Johnny Depp and George Clooney are old stand-by’s. I don’t think they will be leaving my list anytime soon.
from in my cat's belly button
Oh god....my 2 favs.
Viggo Mortensen
Hugh Jackman
I don’t care if they’re barefoot poet type. I didn’t say either of them has to actually talk with me. I’m good at just staring and well....
I would *hoo hoo* so hard it would sound like this: http://www.brandens.net/files/Sounds/CLIPS/BIONIC1.WAV

@girlplease: If there is talking involved I may have to revise my list.

I’ve loved Patrick dempsey since the Can’t Buy Me Love Days also. It makes me feel like a true fan since I loved him before he grew into his nose. He just does it for me, for some reason. haha.
from Clive Owen's Bedroom
Cocktail: Mojito
Clive Owen tops my list of men I’d leave my husband for. Not just any Clive Owen, no. I’m talking about the character he played in the movie Closer. He was such an arrogant, filthy prick. And I love him.
Runners up:
George Clooney any day
Denzel Washington (wait, I think I need a moment)
Russell Crowe in Gladiator
Joaquin Phoenix
Andy Garcia
from your moms.
Ok, manda’s point about Patrick Dempsey growing into his nose? I’d never thought about that, but ohmygod he did! (Unless he had a nose job...which is completely plausible, really...)
I’ve always had a crush on him, btw. In fact, when my older sis was one of the main pharmacists at Drug Town in Santa Monica (no joke...it’s really called that. Or was, anyway. I used to call her up and ask her in a husky voice, “Hey, you got any drugs?” while she was working. Sometimes it slipped her up, sometimes not. Always made me laugh, though...), she used to supply Dr. McDreamy with his herp meds. I asked her if she could slip him my number sometime when he came in. She didn’t do that, but she DID get his autograph for me. That was pretty cool…
Right now, Clive Owen has my heart wrapped up in a pretty little bow. And Bobby Flay, if he counts at all.
