Vanessa Williams, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, or [sometimes] Nicole Kidman. I started to say I think I could go straight for an evening with Jodie Foster but that would be too many double negatives and all. ---

[/QUOTE] I don’t see the big deal about Angelina Jolie (who needs to eat a cookie), Halle Berry (whose eyes just lack the light of ratiocination behind them) or Nicole Kidman (see Angelina J, times five). ---

I’ve announced it in public, so I might as well confess here. I’d go gay for Beyonce. Okay, Beyonce and Halle Berry. And perhaps Kendra from “Girls Next Door.” So . . . I’d go gay for Beyonce, Halle Barry, and Kendra. And I think that girl who played \*\*Ed’\*\*s girlfriend and Jack’s (_Lost_) ex is excruciatingly beautiful, so I’ll add her. That makes my list Beyonce, Halle, Kendra, and that other actress. I didn’t expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition, here. ---

After hearing him sing the _Star-Spangled Banner_ to open Game 2 last night, I have decided I would probably give James Taylor a greeeat big hug if the circumstances ever presented themselves. Guy voice crush #2. ---

Does it count if the reason has to do with a cross-dressing performance? Bruce McCullough (There was a Kids in the Hall bit where he played a ditzy teen pop star… I don’t know, the fake music video gave me a reaction) And yeah… Hugh Jackman.

I’d go straight for Ian McKellen. Who is also not straight, so I suppose I’d have to become a celebrity so he could go straight for me too. ---

I’d totally go gay for Jodie Foster or Portia de Rossi. Funny, their sexuality doesn’t really have anything to do with it, but they’re both smoking hot. And both awesome. ---

I’m not what you could call really straight, but if Christiane Amanpour would go gay for me, I’d be eternally grateful (she’s been on my list for years, so Mr. Legend would understand). ---

I’ve mentioned my girl crush on Cate Blanchett before but if she forsakes me I have some runners up(runner ups?): [Gabrielle Union](http://imdb.com/name/nm0005517/) [Kelli Giddish](http://imdb.com/name/nm1534207/) [Carey Lowell](http://imdb.com/name/nm0000508/) [Roselyn Sanchez](http://imdb.com/name/nm0761052/) I will have sex with all these women separate or all together, makes no never mind to me. Oh, and of course the hub can watch. And drool. Heh. ---

I would quite happily become a lesbian if it meant that I could sleep with Jennifer Aniston,the only drawback that I can see is that I’m actually male. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Ooh…Angelina Jolie’s star must be fading. Usually she’s listed within the first ten posts of a thread like this. [/QUOTE] Heh, she was my first thought. Natalie Portman/Keira Knightly. Kaylee in Firefly (not as much in Stargate). Eliza (Faith from Buffy). Zooey whatshername (who shoudl have been the lead in Pushing Daisies). I think Susan Sarandon has either aged well or has good photoshoppers. Judging Amy. Bones. The sister on Chuck who used to be the babysitter love interest on Everwood. Amy Hannigan (sp?) (Willow). I guess in general strong (without being bitchy) women who are intelligent and beautiful, not afraid of their sexuality, and may or may not have some tomboyishness to them. ---

I don’t know if this is technically a hijack, but I have to ask… How many straight women out there would totally switch teams for [Melissa Theuriau](http://www.fresh99.com/news-anchor-melissa-theuriau.htm) (scroll down), because… Because… Wow. ---

Charlize theron, Morena Baccarin or Emily Deschamel, who each strike completely different chords with me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-celebrity-would-you-go-gay-or-straight-for/423952.md?page=3)
