While watching a movie with a male friend recently, he suddenly blurted out “I’d go gay for Sean Connery.” He later took this back and insisted that he would just want to cuddle, but the damage had been done. However, it got me thinking. I’m 100% heterosexual, but I’ll admit I find Samuel Jackson oddly compelling. I’d be willing to go for a night of hot, sweaty mansex. How about you? Who would you go gay for? (If you’re already gay, who would you go straight for?) ---

I do have a certain sort of strange attraction to Ewan MacGregor (especially in Episode two, but I don’t think I’d actually _go gay_, maybe just a nice evening chatting, a few beers and just a little cuddle. ---

**Ryan Liam** Just funnin’ you, man. I think Brad Pitt’s pretty cute. But, that would be more like masturbation. I’ll explain later if no one gets it. ---

Mary Stuart Masterson, Jodie Foster, Salma Hayek, Ann Wilson, Joey Lauren Adams, Kathleen Turner and Suzanne Vega. What can I say? I’m easy 😃 ---

I get it, **NoClue**. Cute. 🙂 I’m thinking about this in terms of “Who do I think is a good looking guy”. I would probably go for Joey from Friends, if I were gay. ---

For me it would be Gwyneth Paltrow, Laura Linney and Michelle Pfeiffer. Perhaps the 4 of us could get together and play some bridge first. 😉 The hubby says he’s fine with this as long as he gets to videotape the event. ---

I’ve always had a thing for the lovely Gillian Anderson, in her X-Files Scully persona. Maybe it’s those buttoned-up suits and the fact that she never smiled very much. I guess I want to teach her to lighten up. 🙂 ---

If I were gay, I think George Clooney would be my man. The guy has more charisma than should be legal. ---

I can’t believe I’m admitting this but… er, um… Edward Norton… Even then, I don’t think I could go through with it. Maybe if I were drunk. ---

Friends of mine used to play this game years ago. I said Jodie Foster then, and I would say it now. My buddy Jimsaid “Eddie Van Halen has a cute smile” It was automatic and he was NOT a VanHalen fan by any stretch. ---

I think I posted this once before. Brad Pitt as he appeared in _Meet Joe Black_. I think I’d have to be pretty smashed and play the woman. ---

I have major crushes on Jennifer Connelly and Kristen Davis (Charlotte in _Sex & the City_). ---

I’m not gay, but my only real love is Salma Hayek. I think it’s time she ditched Ed Norton and ran away with me. I also seriously dig Marj Dusay. Marj who, you say? She’s a soap opera actress. She’s an older actress. Think pushing 60 if not there already. I don’t know what it is about her, but yeah…I’d do her. ---

I have always been attracted to Yasmine Bleeth, but, oddly, I have never watched one episode of Baywatch. I would also say Madonna if she wasn’t so “road weary”. Back in the '80’s when she was “fresher” I had a crush on her, too. ---

OK I’m going to rephrase the question so I don’t get all insecure about my sexuality. **If someone held a gun up to your head and told you; you _had_ to be gay with someone; who would it be with?** MY answer: Jessie James owner of **West Coast Choppers** also on the discovery chanel’s **Monster Garage** Hey, I’d really hate to be forced into a gay realationship but if I absolutely had to, at least riding around on a few of his kick ass motorcycles would help ease the pain. Hell he might even wind up giving me a couple. Yes folks, I’m that good. ---
