I used to think this about Minnie Driver, but then she lost a bunch of weight and got “hot”. Oh well. There’s Paris Hilton. Hell, _everyone’s_ got a chance with Paris Hilton. ---

I think that most of the celebrities who were born before 1895 would have a hard time turning me away. ---

as a straight woman I also have a thing for sarah silverman… I would love to hang out with her as I GET her. I can image us having dinner and drinks and laughing until we pee our pants. I think I would get along well with some of the tv chefs too. ---

What’s Alicia Witt doing these days? She’s highly intelligent, musical, and was always hot. Besides, she seems not to have cottoned too well to Hollywood, or it to her. ---

She was in this season of Justified. Played the smart sister of a white-trash family. She was great. ---

Either Drew Barrymore or Zooey Deschanel, Or, hopefully, both of them. I know [Drew](http://www.thefrisky.com/photos/anna-paquin-joins-a-slew-of-bisexual-celebrities/bisexual-stars-g3-jpg/) would be on board with that idea. ---

None of them. Not a one. She would have a hard time proving to me that we weren’t on a hidden camera show. ---

I don’t have a chance with regular ordinary people. Or even desperate dangerous people. So I can’t play. ---

I’ve always figured that Jeri Ryan was just playing hard to get - here defined as “living on a different continent and being totally unaware that I even exist”, the little tease. But neither she nor I are getting any younger. ---

Given my age, it’s doubtful any female celebrity who is a possibility would be interested and any of my attempts to do anything other then a polite conversation would creep her out. ---

It would have to be a gay male “of a certain age,” and more or less my type. And still alive. David Hyde Pierce Greg Louganis Dan Savage ---

I think, maybe, H.P. Lovecraft. Aside from a) Neither of us being gay, b) the horrible racism, and c) him being very, very dead. A contemporary female celebrity, though? _Ha_. When she calls me, I’ll tell you. But until that happens, every _part_ of the concept is so far beyond my experience that, quite honestly, I don’t even know how to seriously _think_ about it. ☹ ---

Hard to say - maybe Wilford Brimley? Pros - he’s single, seems like a nice guy, might conceivably notice me (average looking woman in her fifties) and I like oatmeal too. Cons - he’s Mormon and I’m atheist and I’m not single. ---

See, my way of asking this question (to make it seem more plausible in my head) is: If I were stuck on a deserted island with a celebrity, what celebrity would eventually get desperate enough to break down and have sex with me?
