I can’t be the only one that fanatisizes about a ménage-a-trois with Janet Reno and John Ashcroft.
Or maybe I can.

Which is why my vote goes to Michael Palin. Although I’m not a huge Monty Python fan, I dig him.
Also add Gabriel Byrne and Ewan Macgregor. But not “Moulin Rouge” or “Star Wars” Ewan. No, I like the torqued up, bad boy Ewan in “Trainspotting” and “A Life Less Ordinary.” So hot.

Go rent **Velvet Goldmine** , ASAP. Ewan plays a character that is part Iggy Pop, part Mick Ronson, and ALL F\*CKING HOT!! Jesus. There’s a scene where he’s on stage, and he pours baby oil on his chest, and rubs it around, and then dumps glitter on himself, and whips his pants off, and he’s all floppin’ around and glittery and oily and HOT AS ALL HELL. Goodness gracious me.
I see nothing odd about loving Ewan, though. My odd ones are:
David Bowie, Jeremy Irons (too old for me by far)
Marilyn Manson (yhee!)

I can’t believe that my first post is about celebrity crushes, but here I go:
Paula Marhsal - The hot mom from the TV show “Hidden Hills”.
Mindy Burbano - The “Entertainment” reporter on the local news here in Los Angeles.
And I have to agree with cuauhtemoc\*\*, and say that Merideth Vierra gets me going.

I’ll second the entire list , but for Karen and Mrs. Crabapple: what are you thinking there?? 🙂
No really, after it was clear you didn’t mean Mrs. Doutbfire her/himself, I could also understand that one.
I remember when seeing said movies I had a similar feeling to you; in fact I do not see what is so strange about such a crush, provided you do not equate attractiveness to youth. Prof. Albright looks nice and has a difficult yet intriguing character. I also liked Annette Bening in The American President, but especially in American Beauty I adored her legs. And Annabella Sciorra looks gorgeous in mostly any movie I’ve seen with her. What’s not to like?
An added secret crush of mine, however, is Janeane Garofalo (sp?). Apparently a lot of people are put off by her well-rounded body. But she isn’t bloated or anything, as a nice sweetly round face, beautiful dark eyes, and a nasty sense of humor. Wouldn’t it be so great to embrace her and - whatever comes up in those dirty minds of you SDMB-ers. I didn’t understand, when seeing _The Truth about Cats and Dogs_, why anyone would prefer that blond stick-figure whats-her-name.
What? Was this TMI? :o

And **TTT** , don’t feel bad. If I liked females I’d like Janene Garafalo.
