Robby Benson _is_ pretty appealing, I have to admit. He’s one of those “man, he’s cute in a nice-boy sort of way” kind of guys (I think it’s the eyes, personally). Plus, he was The Beast in the Disney movie. How cool is that?

Anne Robinson from “The Weakest Link”.

What makes it even more disturbing is that I’m straight and female.

Omar Sharif-admittedly a YOUNGER Omar Sharif-I wouldn’t do him NOW!

Glenn Miller-I mean the guy is DEAD fercrissake!

Mark Hamill…oh those sexy blue eyes! I wonder if Luke’s hand comes with special accessories…

Yes, **Phil** , you are. And I say that affectionately. Kitty Bartholomew scares me to death. However, your admission makes me feel somewhat less ashamed of my own secret (well, not _that_ secret – I may have mentioned it before) crush on Michael Shermer. Not based on his brains either – although I have, of course, read and enjoyed his books. It is a purely sexual thing based on his bookjacket photos. He’s one hell of a cute smart-guy!

Because he’s old enough to be my grandfather, and that would be downright creepy, if you know what I mean.

Admittedly, maybe back up until he was in his fifties.

I mean, he’s still VERY attractive, but like, I’m not into the Who’s Your Granddaddy thing…but I still think he’s hot.

Just not, I’d DO him hot.

Hey, let’s face it. No matter how freaky he is, Prince is one Sexy MF. Who among us–girl, boy, gay, straight, whatever–would have the gall to refuse when Prince’s sex secretary (and you know he’s got to have one! The landscape is littered with his conquests! He needs staff to keep up with all of it!) is on the line “His Purpleness will do you now.” she says, and you must go. Because he’s Prince. You have no choice. He wrote “Kiss”, “If I Was Your Girlfriend”, “Ballad Of Dorothy Parker”, and “Let’s Pretend We’re Married”. Oh, and there was that little Purple Rain thing. That had a couple of songs on it, right? As a live performer, he is absolutely the best. I don’t care how many Under the Cherry Moons and Rave Unto the Joy Fantastics he makes in his later years. The man’s got more talent and more raw sexuality in the skin flakes that cling to his dirty socks than you, me, or 100 Britany Spearses ever will. Don’t feel embarassed about being attracted to Prince. It’s OK.

My embarassing celeb crush:  
Martha Plimpton.

**Steve Perry** – you know, he’s got that greasy long hair and aquiline nose, but mmm mmm! Saw him on VH1’s Behind the Music and he had cut his hair. Didn’t do much for me.

**Bill Nye the Science Guy** I find him strangely appealing. Maybe it’s because he’s brilliant…

**Steve Irwin** Crikey he needs a good barber and a personal trainer, but I still find him attractive. Maybe it’s the accent…

**Barry Gibb** - he’s older than dirt now and that glorious hair is sadly gone, but I’d still do him.

**Emeril Lagasse**  
His show is crap; his showmanship, catchphrases and predictable recipes make me cringe in horror. But I bet he’d be good in bed!

Others:  
Alton Brown  
Dr. Kovac from _ER_  
One of the Kratt Brothers (the dark-haired one…Chris?)

Oh good god, how could I forget the Olsen twins?

I might just subscribe to their magazine, I dig them so much. Hoo boy. I’m gonna go have a soda… hot… Hoo boy.

Peter Lorre. Wait, he’s dead.

Okay, some alive ones (this would all be as they are now):

[li] Robert Loggia[/li]  
[li] Charlton Heston[/li]  
[li] Gregory Peck[/li]  
 Dave Thomas (Founder of Wendy’s hamburger restaurant chain. Well, I wouldn’t want to have sex with him, but he’s just such a cute Dad Guy! Maybe we could go hit some baseballs in the park or something.)

There is a higher being. You just made my “wet dreams” night…

Too bad you didn’t mention Raymond Burr…or should I say, Raymond Grrrrrrrr…

Ok. I’m not well. I know this.

Hey, anybody mention Tim Curry as Frank N. Furter?  
Not that that’s embarrassing…hell, it’s embarrassing if you _don’t_ recognize his sex appeal.

Janeane Garofalo.  
Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

I’m not so much disturbed as embarrassed by this, because they’re not the kind of woman that “normal” men find attractive. I know I’m _supposed_ to be attracted to, like, Mena Suvari and Alyssa Milano, but I’m not.
