What celebrity do you find yourself inexplicably infatuated with? With me, there are two: **Ellen Barkin** and **Bonnie Hunt**. ---

Stanley Tucci and that guy who played Fish on Ally McBeal. ---

Most of the ones I’m infatuated with have a perfectly reasonable explanation, at least to me. Britney Spears, for example: even though I’m almost certainly not the “U” she wants to be a Slave 4, I can easily understand wishing I was. There is one, however, that I’ve never been able to understand, as she is nothing like the rest of my genicon array: Georgia O’Keefe. I’ve no idea why, but I’ve always found her mesmerizing.

Walter Pidgeon, in any of his films made in the forties. DAMN, he was gorgeous. ---

Rowan Atkinson. As Blackadder only, though, I thoroughly detest Mr. Bean. I guess I just like sarcastical, cynical guys. (I’m also a sucker for Dr. Cox on _Scrubs_) And let’s not forget Steve Buscemi. He’s got that whole neurotic yet unbearably cool thing going for him. _Living in Oblivion_ did it for me. Try it on your female friends if you don’t believe me. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by minega \* > Andrea Corr, lead singer of “The Corrs”…tie with Natalie Imbruglia…be still my beating heart; What’s ‘strange’ about that? They’re both absolutely gorgeous! I was mesmerised by Salma Hayek’s vampire in ‘From Dusk till Dawn’, but it’s perfectly understandable… ---

I’ve got a thing for Alan Rickman too. I’m also totally hot for David Letterman Steve Martin Walter Matthou (SHUT UP!) Tommy Lee Jones and William F. Buckley Here’s the REALLY weird part: I’m 23 and have liked these men for as long as I can remember. ---
