1: Jewel Staite. I still don’t understand how it’s possible for someone with a normal-sized face to nonetheless have a meter-wide smile, but she does.
2: Keira Knightly (not linking a picture, because still photos don’t seem to ever do her justice… But when she moves…!)
3: Kirsten Dunst. Those eyes are gorgeous.
4: Helen Parr. Hey, my chances of ever meeting her are nearly as high as anyone else on this list, right?
5: Catherine Zeta-Jones. Great body.
- Daisy Fuentes
- Salma Hayek
- Sophia Loren
- Jim Cantore
- The personal trainer at my gym who was a professional football player.
Three women and two men - that ought to keep me busy for a while.
Unfortunately for me, most of my crushes are fictional.
In no particular order:
Weird Al
Johnny Depp
Cary Elwes
Tim Curry
Mark Hamill
May I add Anthony Kiedis to that list, and perhaps bump Olbermann to “Honorable Mention?”
Hugh Laurie
Wayne Brady
David Hyde Pierce
Matthew Gray Guber
Shemar Moore
Oh, I’ve got my 5th!
Jamie Fraser from Outlander.
- Stephen Colbert (oh LORD)
The rest are in no order:
*Jason Isaacs (charismatic, funny, and those eyes!)
*Tahmoh Penikett (Helo on “Battlestar Galactica” – smart, sweet, and those shoulders/arms/jawline!)
*Mary McDonnell (at any age – smokin’ hot, classy, sensitive, smart, funny, all around lovely woman)
*Nigella Lawson (edibly gorgeous and witty)
Honorable mentions: Sean Bean and Gillian Anderson (as Dana Scully, circa X-Files seasons 4-5)
I’ll play. My short list:
- That woman I saw in the cafeteria again today. I kid you not - she ranks above all movie starlets … dammn. Maybe she has an advantage, what with being 3D and all, but she also doesn’t have a makeup and lighting staff that I can see.
-
Salma Hayek
-
Jennifer Connelly
Scarlet Johansson
Megan Fox
Ivanka Trump
Heather Graham. Hey, she could use the work.
Hey, that’s my 1000th post!

Johnny Depp
Leonardo DiCaprio
George Clooney
James Hetfield
and Angelina Jolie
-
Mira Sorvino
-
Charlize Theron
-
Ashley the girl that works in membership services at my gym.

Jill Wagner - aka The Mercury Girl. Also she was on Blade.
-
Anna the anchorwoman on Channel 5 here in Chicago.
Actually move her from 5 to #1.
- Jennifer Love Hewitt
- Kari Byron
- Jewel Staite
- Allyson Hannigan
- I have no idea what this lady’s name is besides “Faith”, but if you’re not at work Google image search “In Bed With Faith”.
Sorry, no guys could ever make the list.
Hmmmm…I have some contemporaries and some from days gone by.
Anne Hathaway
Emma Watson
Jennifer Connelly
Elizabeth Montgomery, from her Bewitched days
Karen Allen, from her Starman/Raiders of the Lost Ark days. Hell, she’s still hawt.
And an honorable mention to AnnaSophia Robb, as soon as she gets legal. 
That young lady is going to grow up to be drop-dead gorgeous.
Sagit from college.
Lisa Bonet
1950s Audrey Hepburn
That’s all I can think of right now.
- My wife
- deedeeknowitall
- The Better Half
- Alyson Hannigan
- My Reason For Living
Oh…what the hell.
-
Audrey Hepburn, if she were 50 years younger, and not unquestionably dead. Failing that…Amy Yasbeck.
-
Kari Byron. (It was either her, or Jewel Staite. Tough call…damned if it isn’t. But Kari has a better chance of actually smelling faintly of machine oil and ozone.)
-
I was going to say Alisson Stokke, but reading up on the origins of the photo, I don’t know if that’d be too creepy or not. (And why does a five year age difference still make me feel like I drank from the wrong holy grail?) I should probably just say Angelina Jolie, right? Though it seems like the poor dear deserves a break by now…
-
Probably Grace Park (possibly NSFW, technically).
5…? Um…well, either Hillary Swank, or one of a handful of real-life female aquaintences (who, in the exceedingly optimistic hypothetical, might be disqualified from the list in the first place, anyway).
That’s off the top of my head, anyway. Though I really should have categorized the list by aesthetic archetypes to begin with, and worked from there. Making allowances for using alternates in place of frightningly obscure or eyebrow-raising nominees in public lists, of course…
Mein führer, I can valk!
I don’t have a list, though some people’s links are quite impressive.
I just popped in to say I originally read the title as “Who would be on your lamented list?” I thought it was kind of a morose idea for a thread…
Ok, I have to ask…Why? I’ve heard it bandied about in metal circles that either Alexi or Shagrath of Demon Burger vie for the “hottest guy in metal”, but every time I see that written somewhere I can’t figure that out. What is it about Alexi that you like?
ETA- I don’t know what happened to my link, if you want to see it, click the other link on the page that it loads to.
Heh, Demon Burger.
As for Lil’ Allu…I can’t really describe it, but I guess it’s something about contrasts that really does it to me. For example, when you see Alexi on stage, he’s so energetic and also “badass”, like cursing and spitting etc. But when you meet him in person he’s so sweet, almost shy. He creates such powerful music but he’s this cute, short, pale little thing…and he has bunny teeth!
