Your Celebrity Crush That Makes Others Say "WTF?"

You know that actor, musician, athlete, etc. that you think is incredibly sexy but everyone else thinks that you’re a bit insane to find him/her slightly attractive.

Mine is Tom Chaplin, lead singer of Keane, front and center here. I say he’s tall, got the sexy English accent, and is the lead singer of a band - what’s not to find attractive? My husband, co-workers and friends say he’s got a big head and wears his pants too tight.

Who’s your crush that others think is not so crush-worthy?

I once expressed a fascination, nay a longing, for Linda Cohen of SportsCenter. My friend thought I was nuts. And, truthfully, I see his point.

But I’d still throw a dick in her.

Nah, my crush is plain old big boobs, blonde hair, curves, etc.

Scarlett Johansson.

Tom Jones.

I’ve thrown more panties than I can remember at the man. :wink:

Those were all yours? I always figured they came from more than one woman.

Mary Steenburgen. She was so hot in What’s eating Gilbert Grape and she still is.

When I was 10, I had a HUGE crush on Ekaterina Gordeeva. I mean HUGE. She was an older woman…all of 16 years old. :slight_smile:

Now?
Nobody unusual. I do tend to favor celebrities (and anyone) that are both attractive, but also look very friendly. I find any hint of being a jerk a complete turn-off. I also tend to like women with some meat on them, so that rules out about 2/3 of hollywood.

Paris Hilton.

I can’t really explain it, but oh damn.

Terrible, terrible things I would do.

Louis C. K. http://www.louisck.net/

I’ll admit it. I cried watching his act - there were literally tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

He’s my newest crush.

Zooey Deschanel.

I wouldn’t kick her out of bed.

Condoleezza Rice.

When I was in high school I had a crush on Al Gore. This was during the Clinton administration when he was considerably thinner.

Yikes! That guy should be running a menagerie on Talos IV.

Also, not so much a crush, but I don’t think Michael Phelps is all too goofy looking. Which earns me goofy looks.

Mine is David Cook, this year’s winner of American Idol. He’s a wonderful singer, hot looking, and appears from interviews etc. to be a humble, genuinely nice person. But when people hear the “American Idol”, they give me the WTF. Sigh. Their loss, I suppose.

Sarah Vowell

Super smart, plus cool voice = nerdy sexy

Go the bottom of the linked page for a list of her appearances on “This American Life” and listen to her essay “Guns”.

Jerry Springer

:wink:

?!?

Patrick Warburton
Jeremy Piven
When he’s not all waxed and shaved.

I always thought that Patricia Richardson (if I got the name right) from Home Improvement was beautiful.

Also, Jeanetta Jones from the Weather Channel.

There’s only one Miss Piggy.

It’s not a crush, but I have always found Gary Busey to be very attractive. I KNOW he’s not conventionally good looking, and also that he’s kind of a nut job. Even so, I find him attractive. Apparently this is such a WTF moment for other people that I think I lost a friendship over it because the other person thought it was Just Too Weird.
