I’ve never heard him sing or even speak, and his press items always make me cringe, but I can see why girls might find him attractive. I knew a guy who looked like him and was the most popular lady-killer in the office. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sealemon88 \* > \*\*For me…the only thing Ican think of right now is I would like to see the lady from The Big Comfy Couch when she’s not in costume. \*\* You’re not alone. My wife can vouch that my reaction to What’s-Her-Name (I want to say Molly, but that’s the doll’s name) was: “She’d clean up real nice. And limber, too!” Who can I add that’s embarassing…the writer-lady on “Between the Lions” has this great hair-askew, young-Katherine Hepburn thing going on. But that could just be my thing for brainy library girls kicking back in. ---

Oh, where to begin? My fantasies are filled with celebrities I’m embarrassed to say I’m attracted to. 1. Walter Matthau. Please don’t ask me why. I’ve always had a thing for him. Young or old, I really love him. 2. That kid “Steve” from the Dell Computer Commercials. I thought he was really cute, but felt weird because he’s a kid. THEN, I read that he was 20, and felt a whole lot better (I’m 22. It could work between us). 3. John Malkovich. God, I want him!!! 4. David Letterman. He’s always done it for me. I’ve always had a major crush on him. 5. Tommy Lee Jones. 6. Kelsey Grammer. WAY SEXY. 7. John Cleese. 8. Bart Simpson. I know, I know. Weird. Well, if you think about it, he was ten in 1990 when the show started. . . He’d be around my age right now. 9. Adult Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I can’t explain or defend that one. I know it’s weird and wrong!! 10. Kevin Smith of Clerks and Dogma fame. There’s something about the way he talks that makes me smile. I have a MAJOR crush on him. Also, he’s absolutely adorable when he plays Silent Bob. There you have it folks, I’m sure there are more, but this is all I want to show from my twisted mind at the moment. ---

Oh, I forgot the weirdest one of all. Ready? I have a secret crush on WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY. I’m not joking. Young or old, I could stare at him and listen to him talk for hours. ---

Well, I am not sure how much of a celeb she is, or ho many of you have heard of her, but **Kate Botello** , formerly of The Screen Savers, and now on Gamespot TV on ZDTV…errrr…now "TechTV, stupid BS… anyway, that’s my celeb 😉 ---

Martha Plimpton is not to be embarrased about. I saw her in Running on Empty, and loved her. Of course, it was my first romance movie, and I had just hit puberty ( so, that pretty much tells you everything you needed to know about my age ), so I might have been biased. At least, that’s what I tell myself when people say I should be embarrased about liking Running on Empty. 🙂 Me’Corva ---

I don’t know what it is - the silvery hair, the slight double chin, the sense of humor… Don’t tell anyone. An aquaintence, (friend of a friend) was interviewed by Leo on the show about a year ago. I squealed with delight like a teenybopper, and asked what Leo was like. (He’s a nice guy, apparently.) ---

I suppose I should clue everyone in here and say that Leo Laporte is also on “Screensavers”. And I’d also like to add, that Kate is a smart techie chick, and attractive in her own way. I don’t think being attracted to her is anything to be embarrassed about! (But don’t tell anyone about my crush on Leo, though!) 😃 ---

**Drew Carey** (Buy his book, he looks really hot in his military photo) **William H. Macey** **Wolverine** (Not just as Hugh Jackman _yum_, but the actual comic book character. 2-D, on paper. _yummers_) **Whoever plays Lt. Paris on Voyager** The disturbing part isn’t so much that I find him attractive, it’s that I sit through Voyager to watch him! (Die, Cousin Kate, DIE!) ---

Vanessa Redgrave. When I saw the first Mission Impossible movie I went with a female co-worker. After the movie I said how hot I found Vanessa Redgrave… She laughed and said it was my latent heterosexuality trying to get out, later on she laughed even harder and agreed with me, seems she has a latent lesbian streak. What I find strange about this thread is why people are finding any of their attractions disturbing – C’mon, let’s be real, media is conditioning us to find celebrity sexually attractive… ---

Michael Pitt in Hedwing and the Angry Inch. For me, he played one hell of a sensuous woman.
