Oh yeah, there was a time when I looked at Roseanne and thought ‘I’d do her’. She was in one of her less unattractive phases and I was in the middle of one of my longer dry spells, however. Martha Stewart is rather cute for an older lady. ---

Pink! Something about that trashy, sneery look… Like Tonya Harding with BRAINS and TALENT! ---

OK, here’s mine: Jackie Chan – he is just adorable! Ian McKellen, if he wasn’t gay. The man is sharp & witty! Robert Lindsay – he played Benedick in the TV Shakespeare plays series version of “Much Ado About Nothing” and he haunted my dreams for years! I also like Drew Carey and Ryan Stiles… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Darkrabbit \* > The Indigo Girls. Oh. God. Yes. And **Jabba** , I’ve had a thing for Charlotte Gainsbourg since _Jane Eyre_. She is so incredibly stark. She just curls my toes in that film. Good call on that one. ---

Obsidian Flutterby: Alan Rickman, I’ll concede that he is not “classically” attractive. But Paul Gross? Michael T. Weiss? Come on! Gross’s character in “Due South” was _constantly_ being drooled at by the fairer sex. He is considered a major hottie, (if you’ve actually heard of him). Same goes for Weiss. I remember him from his soap opera days. Being that handsome should have been a crime. An aside: Have you seen Gross in the more recent _Men with Brooms_? It is pretty funny. ---

Alan Rickman…oh God yes. Also, Ryan Stiles, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Astin, but only if he looks just like he does in Lord of the Rings (only taller) and Jack Black. ---

Drew Carey and Ryan Stiles have this many votes and no mention of Deidrich Bader? Looks like I get him all to myself! (I second the Trey Parker mention as well, even though his hair makes the baby Jesus cry.) ---

**Prunella Scales** , Sybil Fawlty from “Fawlty Towers.” In the episode “The Builders” she wears pants and reveals quite a trim little figure, not to mention a nice caboose. ---

Wayne Static from Static X. I have no clue why, but I find him incredibly attractive. I have even had a few dreams about him. Weird. ---

I get the impression only Hollywood producers, casting directors, and the woman herself consider Janeane Garofalo unattractive. When watching _The Truth About Cats And Dogs_ I kept wondering what bizarro world this must be set in that all of these guys kept ignoring her in favor of Uma Thurman. The only reason I watched _The Matchmaker_ was for the lovely Janeane. I’ll add some of my crushes: Brenda Butner on Fox News Channel, British actress Fiona Shaw (yes, I know can’t happen, but…), Joan Osbourne, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Lili Taylor, and CNN reporter Andrea Koppel And who exactly considers Helen Mirren unattractive? ---
