Geeky looking but GAWD gimme him in Lolita. I’ll chime in again on Drew Carey Sam Watterston (Persecute me baby!) I’ve mentioned him before, but I’m, still facinated by him. I thought these celebrity crushes were supposed to go away after awhile? I’ve had this one for as long as I can remember. Bob McGrath from Sesame Street ---

Jeremy Irons? A geek? I think not! He can look very [dashing and handsome](http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/9542/galy3.html). (Man, I love Google search!) ---

My weirdest celebrity crush is Zoe Wanamaker as Quidditch coach Madam Hooch in _Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone_. Those yellow eyes; that butch haircut; those (ohgod) black leather riding boots under her robes. She definately gets my broomstick to rise! And I’m not alone- a search revealed lots of Madame Hooch fan pages. ---

[Rossy de Palma](http://www.almodovarlandia.com/almodovarlandia/actors/depalma.htm). She’s such a strange looking person, and I find her incredibly sensous. I’m also smitten by [Juliet Stevenson](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/discover/archive_interviews/26.shtml). ---

Ok. I’ll be the only one to admit it. I know it’s freakish, and I’ll probably be shunned for the rest of my life because of this. I have a crush on **Carrot Top**. Yes, it’s true. It has something to do with the fact that I adore guys who can make me laugh, and he’s got the red hair. I LOVE RED HAIR on a guy, especially long red hair. I know he’s goofy looking, and I’ve seen some truly awful pictures of him, but I don’t care. There. Having said that, I also have the hots for **Drew Carey** , **Kevin Smith** , **Kevin James** , and **Kevin Spacey**. Apparently I like guys named Kevin. I’m going to go hide in my corner now. 😃 ---

It amazes me that Janene Garofolo is considered unattractive. I think she’s quite yummy. Similarly I hear people all the time talking about how “fat” Kate Winslet is, but I’ll happily take her as is. Neither of these people is unattractive to me, and I can’t imagine anyone describing them as such, yet I’ve seen it happen. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Purd Werfect \* > **Rossy de Palma** Far be it from me to cast aspersions on anyone’s crush list in here, lest similar aspersions be cast on my list, but - holy cryin’ baby Jesus, what a schnozz!! :eek: So, here’s my “unattractive” celebrity crush: Martha Plimpton. Damn, she just got it going _on_! I also got a thing for Kevin Spacey - I know he isn’t gay, but he could certainly make me go thataways. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MyFootsZZZ \* > \*\*WTF!? > > I’m a man, and hetero, so pardon my ignorance; > > …I didn’t know Duchovny was unattractive!? I thought he was hot. Hell, I think he’s hot! Why would you bring him up in a thead with the tittle “Reveal Your Unattractive Celebrity Crush”? \*\* You know what they say, delusion is in the eye of the beholder. I think he’s very attractive (and so do thousands and thosands of other women) but…hell, I don’t understand why people are attracted to Hayden Christensen, who has many drooling fans, so I can’t slam her opinion now can I. Anyway, Giovanni Ribisi. I can’t quite explain it, other than his lovely lips 😃 ---

Oh, I just thought of another one… The mind boggles, but lot of people consider Juliette Lewis to be a skank. These people can suck it. The woman is _hot!_ Also, I’ve been watching the series [_The Dead Zone_](http://www.usanetwork.com/series/thedeadzone/) with Anthony Michael Hall. Remember when he was a fresh-faced 17-year-old on Saturday Night Live? Now he’s got this weathered, world-weary face and a Steve McQueen intensity about him. I don’t want to do him, but I do want to be him. ---

The Indigo Girls. Yeah, it would never happen (for so many obvious reasons) but I find them terribly attractive on many levels. Janene Garofolo works for me, too. ---
