I wish my boyfriend had a good enough attention span to focus on one person long enough to develop a crush. Instead he just gets fixated on whatever twink of the week he’s been watching in porn lately - and he watches quite a lot of porn.

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up - Brent Corrigan, Dillon Samuels, Sammy Case, and it goes on and on till he is \*literally \*google searching **guy in the yellow and black striped shirt** (his google fu is as awesome as his attention span.)

Maybe it would piss me off if I didn’t find it so hillarious.

My wife digs Glen Phillips (singer, formally of Toad the Wet Sprocket), John Hamm, and Hugh Jackman. Oh, and Kyle Chandler.

Fortunately, I look a lot like Glen. Not at all like John and Hugh…well, except for the retractable claws.

Mr. new has strong-armed me into agreeing that if Halle Berry ever comes to our door looking for him, he’s allowed to do whatever he wants, marriage vows notwithstanding. 😉

I, of course, agreed readily because, the odds of that happening. . .

My wife’s exception to the marriage vows is Richard Hammond, of Top Gear fame. Yes, my wife has the hots for the Hamster. (Mind you, he _is_ cute)  
Mine? Briefly, it was Megan Fox - then I saw a bit more of her, and now I can’t stand her. Another vote for Pauley Perrette, perhaps.

And, you can carry him in your pocket. 😉

Of course, the same can be said for one of **my** crushes, Kristin Chenoweth (all of 4’ 11").

Let’s see.

In no particular order, I’ve heard him drool over:

Valerie Bertinelli  
Emma Watson (Hermione Grainger in the Harry Potter films)  
Jewel Staite (Kaylie in _Firefly_)  
Rachel McAdams (in the upcoming _Sherlock Holmes_ movie)

He’s a guy who is very appreciative of the female form. This list is a very slim stab at his crushes, I’m sure. I used to get a little jealous to hear him talk so openly about how hot other women were but heck, I think they’re hot too - so how can I judge?

My husband is currently very into [this cute young lady](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mf7cQfhJSA). I think it’s adorable. He’s also super into Kari Byron, she has even broken through his “pregnant ladies are somewhat creepy” thing.

As long as Jewel Staite is standing behind him, rolling her eyes at his inability to follow directions! 😃

My ex liked Michelle Pfeiffer, especially the Michelle in Wolf. . She actually looks a lot like \*his \*ex-girlfriend.

My husband doesn’t have a celebrity crush. I asked him about a fav porn star, but also nothing. He just likes full figured women with broad hips, and there are few full figured big-hipped celebs out there.

Mrs. BomTek’s biggest celebrity crush is Peyton as well, but I don’t get annoyed by it. She’s totally allowed to sleep with him if she ever gets the chance. I’d like season tickets out of the deal, but they’re not required. I also don’t mind if she crushes on Chris Meloni of _L&O:SVU_, John Corbett of _S&tC_, and Bobby Flay, among others. 🙂 She’s allowed to sleep with any celebrity she wants, but she can only sleep with one, and only once. She’ll hold out for Peyton.  
Some of mine are Mariska Hargitay, Kari Byron, and Padma Lakshmi, but there are others. I’ve got the same “cheat with one celebrity once” coupon, but I can’t decide who I’d hold out for above all others.

Jim’s celebrity crush is Nigella Lawson. He likes a woman with a little meat on her bones who enjoys eating (and I don’t think he’d mind if she cooked for him, either).

My wife likes Don Draper, but not necessarily Jon Hamm. No, it doesn’t make sense to me either.

Mine are pretty straight-up: Scarlett Johannsen is my Ginger, Reese Witherspoion is my Maryann…and as my wife points out, most men will say they want Mayann, but they almost always go for Ginger.

The only two that my wife ever mentioned were Tom Selleck (for his looks) and James Earl Jones (for his voice).

Mrs. Torque likes [Mike Rowe](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/dirtyjobs/bio/bio.html). Actually, “like” might not be a sufficiently strong word. She looks at him like a lion looks at a wounded zebra. Before that, it was [Andy Garcia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Garc%C3%ADa).
