I’m blessed to be married to a woman who loves football.

But, man, if I ever again have to hear how cute, funny and manly **Petyon Manning** is …

I was too lazy to look it up earlier. Hubby’s crush is on Theron, in the remake of _Mighty Joe Young_. She was **very** cute in it. Watts doesn’t do it for him – not sure why. Probably because she wasn’t wearing shorts and a tank top. 🙂

Hmm. Naomi Watts doesn’t normally do anything for me, but I found her surprising delectable in _Kong_.

Sting. Drives me to distraction since I can’t stand him, even though I love **The Police.**

Also, she’ll watch any movie with **Brendan Fraser** even if it’s really bad.

Of course, you’d stand a better chance with Mr. Fry than your wife would. 😉

Hmmm…well, as we both live in suburban Chicago, it **is** possible. Might explain why my wife is always so tired, living a double life and all. 😃 But, AFAIK, she’s never met Jackman, though she’s met Ackles several times.

I’m gonna be really annoyed if they never get back together!  
Honestly though, if I swung that way, I’d totally have the hots for Abby too. She’s sexy, smart, and nerdy. And, she has tattoos. What’s not to love?

Oh, she knows that. Note the presence of Rupert Everett on the list as well.

No list necessary, since my girlfriend so very emphatically sings her celebrity crush at the top of her lungs.

The ultimate example of tasty manly manhood, in her eyes, is [Oliver Reed](http://stephieface.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/reed02c.jpg)- A bit of a bizarre crush considering more than 90% of his catalogue dates from before she was born. She tells me she happened across _Tommy_ on T.V. when she was about six years old and she loved him immediately- enough info right there for any doper who enjoys armchair psychoanalysis.

He died while she was still very very much a minor, so there was never an opportunity to consummate the relationship- all the same, now an adult, she fantasizes about a resurrection that would allow Oliver Reed to finally take all-of-'er clothes off.

My wife drools over Chris Noth - it was a “Sex in the City” thing, I think. She never went for him on “Law and Order.”

George Clooney, on the other hand, has ALWAYS been a contender!

Easy one to answer - Johnny Depp. We probably have a copy of every movie possible that he was in somewhere in this house, and she actually has a Johnny Depp tote-bag that she carries her work stuff in (it’s a Rolling Stone cover shot from the Pirates she found while out for a work function one day). That’s okay…could be much worse…

My Japanese wife’s crush for the past few years has been **Johnny Depp** and before that **Chris Noth** (from his _Sex & the City_ days), **Tom Cruise** (from his _Top Gun_ & _Cocktail_ days), and **Richard Gere** (from his _Officer and a Gentleman_ days!!!). Her Japanese crush is actor [**Satoshi Tsumabuki**](http://www.horipro.co.jp/hm/tsumabuki/profile/index.html).

Mrs.Safe is seriously hot for Milla Jovovich and Brody Dalle of the Distillers.

My wife totally has the hots for [Charlie Rose](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Rose) (which I don’t get), and to a much lesser extent Colin Firth (which I kinda get).

Mrs. kidneyfailure loves Chad Michael Murray. She even has his autographed picture and keeps it in a “special place.” He is pretty handsome, though, I admit…

Mine are Christina Aguilera and Salma Hayek. Mmmm Mmmmm!

My boyfriend has a man-crush on Paul Rudd, and an actual crush on Kat Dennings. (Which is useful, since I have lady-crushes on the both of them.)
