Helen Mirren and Joe Biden But only vaguely. I wouldn’t fantasise about them. Edit: Nigella is FIFTY? For a proper full blown crush, probably her. ---

I haven’t the energy to go researching the ages of various Celeb women I am attracted to (Such as Scarlett Johansson) But I did find myself attracted to [Alesha Dixon](http://www.kissandmakeup.tv/Alesha%20Dixon%20MOBO.jpg) lately and then was mildly surprised to find out she’s 30. I know 30’s not old but to me she looks 25 or younger. Edit: 31. > **[Alesha Dixon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alesha_Dixon)** > > Alesha Anjanette Dixon (born 7 October 1978) is an English singer, rapper, dancer, television personality, and author. She gained recognition in the early 2000s as a member of the R&B, garage and hip hop group Mis-Teeq who had seven UK top 10 hits, two top 10 double platinum albums, and sold over 12 million records worldwide. Following the group disbanding in 2005, Dixon pursued a music career as a solo artist, signing a recording contract with Polydor Records. She recorded her debut solo alb... ---

Looking at [this site](http://www.rankopedia.com/ZID=3/75/Ranking-Most-Beautiful-Woman-Over-The-Age-Of-40-(Photos-Added)/Step1/10446.htm), most of the women there have been mentioned, and there are only a few I’m not salivating over. My favorite, by far: [Monica Bellucci](http://eyes1.busythumbs.com/users/a/ahemes/eyes1/images/11123931960Monica_Bellucci027.jpg). Runners up: [Tea Leoni](http://www.stars-portraits.com/images/portraits/stars/t/tea-leoni/tea-leoni-by-BikerScout.jpg) and [Liz Hurley.](http://images.askmen.com/galleries/actress/elizabeth-hurley/pictures/elizabeth-hurley-picture-1.jpg) ---

I still have a big crush on Marilyn McCoo from the 5th Dimension and the music/dance 1980’s show _Solid Gold_. Several recent and older pics of Marilyn here. > **[PopEntertainment.com: Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. interview about...](http://popentertainment.com/mccoodavis.htm)** > > The sweet-singing couple tell Mark Mussari of PopEntertainment all about forty years in beautiful harmony. She’s still married to bandmate Billy Davis jr. Together 40 years! Lucky dog. For me the 5th Dimension is one of the best R&B bands the 60’s produced. Marilyn is 66. ---

I find Patrick Stewart very sexy but to me he’s just for looking at, listening to and drooling over. I can’t imagine doing dirty things with or to him. Now, Harrison Ford I could imagine those things but his cred went down a bit with me when he hooked up with the stick figure so he’d have to dress as Indiana Jones for me to make up for it. Alan Rickman I would take any way I could get him but if he could pull out the Sheriff of Nottingham gear that would make it so much better, but it’s not a deal breaker. ---
