Lauren Graham. (She Plays the 30-something Mom on Gilmore Girls, who likes all the Good 80s music) God, I’d love to be on some schlokey celebrity ‘beat the clock’ kind of gameshow with her:

“Now, with your hands behind your back, lets see if you can tie Lauren’s tongue into a knot. We’ve put 30 years on the clock…Go!!!”

Judy Woodruff (is that the right spelling?). PBS talking head. She’s a babe.

Benazir Bhutto (again, not sure about the spelling).

Joyce Carol Oates.

Judi Dench, more than 20 years older than my mom…  
And on a slightly less weird, but not exactly pin-up note, Sigourney Weaver.

**Sandra Bernhard…**

Yes, I know, I’ve said it before. There’s just something about those lips and the supraorbital ridge and that voice – she’s the bizarre love child of Mick Jagger and Rondo Hatton, and I love her.

She recently turned up as an attorney on one of the _Law and Order_ shows, wearing a suit(!) and a menacing expression. I don’t think she smiled once. Wow.

I often fantasize about having her to myself for a long weekend down in the Florida Keys. I’m sure **GoldenGael** would come through it relatively unharmed (except perhaps for the rope burns and bleeding hickeys), but I like to think she would need extensive therapy afterwards.

As a fan of the DIY/WDTDIYWY\* genre of television, I can only add:

Tommy “the builder” Walsh  
Frank Bielec

If you don’t know, don’t ask. It’s safer that way.

Victoria Wood, very funny and strangely sexy,  
Charlotte Church, needs to be turned to the dark side,  
Lisa Simpson (when she is grown up),  
Ths Borg Queen (and of course 7 of 9, but that wouldn’t be strange),  
Just about the whole cast of Rocky Horror

Cheers, Bippy

The chick painted green in the Aerosmith “Pink” video.

**Jill Hennessy** (but that’s not too weird)

**Christina Ricci** (may not be weird now, but I though she was cute in the Addam’s Family)

I don’t think it’s weird, but I tend to be alone on this one: **Mila Kunis**

**Sara Gilbert** as Darlene Connor

**Florence Henderson** -aka “Carol Brady”

While everyone else my age was hot for Marsha, I kept thinking  
“Damn! That mom is foxy!” The best part of the show is when she would be in bed wearing those sexy nightgowns and reading a book. You just know as soon as the lights go off she was working over Mike with that fine body of hers.

The strange part is, I still think she’s hot today. Those denture commercials are strangely arousing. Think about it… she can take out her teeth. That’s hot!

I can’t speak for Julia, but he’s tall and lanky, which I dig, and he has a fascinating face. He just looks like very interesting person. And I like his music a lot.

[Henry Rollins](http://21361.com/site/photo.html)

There’s just something about a funny, short, muscular, articulate, screaming tattooed freak.

**George Peppard** - when he was Hannibal in the A Team - might not sound so strange, but I had posters of him on my walls when I was 11, when all my other friends had posters of George Michael!

Must have been that grin (or was it a sneer?) with the cigar clamped between his teeth…
