What celebrity would you go gay (or straight) for?

Looking over the Cafe Society landscape, I note a disturbing dearth of threads objectifying celebrities in an superficial and sophomoric fashion. No one need apologize; it’s my fault and no one else’s. During my brief absence from the boards, maturity apparently crept in.

That said, we don’t have to let it STAY.

So today’s objectifying question: If you’re straight, what actor, model, singer, etc. of your own gender would you go gay for? Likewise, if you’re gay, whom would you switch go straight for?* And, of course, if you feel moved to explain why, please feel free.

My own answer: Mandy Patinkin. Because he was INIGO freaking MONTOYA, and also his amazingly versatile voice.

*If you are into lovers of a different species or metabolic state (i.e., dead) please keep it to yourself.

Sean Bean…that accent gets me everytime.

Nigella Lawson. Good God, that woman is hot. First, she is just gorgeous, with a bodacious figure. Then, the first time I saw her she was making croissant bread pudding with caramel sauce - for dinner. And if that isn’t tempting enough, she then ate it in bed, wearing black silk pajamas. If she showed up at my front door offering to take me away, cook for me, and sex me up, I would be hard pressed to say no.

I could probably go gay for Demi Moore. She looks gorgeous all the time.

If we’re including actresses of the past, I’d have to say Grace Kelly.

If you check out the video clips at Rove the last question in $20 in 20 seconds is always, “Who would you turn gay for?” See what the famous have to say.

Cary Grant, if he were still alive and looked like he did in Gunga Din…or Gaston from Beauty and the Beast if he weren’t a toon.

I long time celebant, but I would change that in a heartbeat for Hugh Laurie, Matthew Gray Guber, Wayne Brady or David Hyde Pierce. But I can’t think of one woman I would want to have sex with.

I once caught part of an old Clark Gable movie on PBS. I’m not sure what it was about except ol’ Clark flouncing around in a billowy shirt open to his navel. I was mesmerized. Among the living, though, probably nobody. Maybe Hugh Jackman. No one should be that good looking.

Brad Pitt in Fight Club. I can’t exactly explain it (the scene where his pants are falling off his abs), but it was the one time I questioned my sexuality.

The actor who played Will’s policeman boyfriend on Will and Grace
The Rock

My wife and I have played this game lots of times.

Jennifer Aniston. I’d go lesbian in a second for her.

If, you know, I was a chick.

Sorry, I got nothin’

Jodi Foster. IMO, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Rupert Everet

At least one of us will know what he’s doing.

Ooh…Angelina Jolie’s star must be fading. Usually she’s listed within the first ten posts of a thread like this.

But…yeah, I’d do her. Or Kate Winslet. OrMorena Baccarin .

Y’know, when I answer this question, I wonder if I’m not as straight as I think I am…

Jamie Lee Curtis.

: d & r :

Shit yeah. When they find me in the gym dead from overexhaustion, it’ll be that movie’s fault.

I like that answer! I could go straight for her.

Ditto on Jodie. Also Janine Turner, of Northern Exposure fame.

Without a doubt, Mariska Hargitay. She is an uncommonly lovely woman with a humantiarian, nurturing love for people.

Oh, I can explain it. IT’S THE SCENE WHERE HIS PANTS ARE FALLING OFF HIS ABS! (Hips, actually.) What more explanation does anyone with a pulse need? He’s f’ing hot, that’s all.
