Celebrities I’m Only A Little Ashamed To Have A Crush On

February 27, 2008 Posted in Buzz, HaHa

Celebdom is full of run-of-the-mill gorgeous people. We all fantasize and have our little lists of who we’d hook up with… but there are some that you just don’t talk about. Those famous people who aren’t exactly of the pre-Angie Brad Pitt reputation.

By K

I have a list of celebrities I find attractive but maybe shouldn’t admit are attractive. These are not the Justin Timberlakes or David Beckhams, but instead, some questionable characters that I (secretly?) feel deserve some consideration:

Chris Brown. He is 18, and therefore I am allowed to judge him. He can dance. And I love that stupid “Kiss, Kiss” song, something I also am a little embarrassed about. I found his stint on the OC rather ambitious. He is kind of adorable.

Jon Stewart. At only 5’7″, he doesn’t meet my usual height requirement. But he’s hilarious. He’s smart. He played soccer at William and Mary. I love him.

Funny does it for me. Jerry Seinfeld. Maybe I subconsciously think I could be his Elaine, you know, when they dated… fictitiously, on the show…

Steve Carell of the American version of The Office. You may also know him as the 40 Year Old Virgin. I think he’s adorable and can see past both the age and that chest waxing scene.

And while we’re on an Office-themed kick, why not give Britain a shot? Martin Freeman, who plays Tim (the one in love with Dawn) is also adorable, and plays the soft-porn star in Love Actually. If Hugh Grant were less obvious, he too would make the list.

Don Cheadle. I love him in Oceans 11, 12, and 13. And Crash… can’t forget Crash.

John Cusack. I was not a fan of Must Love Dogs. Would marry the High Fidelity version of him, although the top five thing might get on my nerves. I also love a little-known eighties film called Better Off Dead, where he is a skier. If you like terrible movies, you definitely should add it to your Netflix rental list.

Jeremy Piven, a buddy of John Cusack. Such an ass as Ari Gold on Entourage, but I think he’s beautiful. He did an ad campaign for Johnston and Murphy this fall that was fantastic, I walked by it on a regular basis.

I also admit to awkward crushes on Michael Cera and Jason Bateman, and a weakness for Arrested Development. And the kid who plays Murray in Clueless, because I love his justification for shaving his head: “‘Cause I’m keepin’ it real! Cause I’m keepin’ it real!”

Alright, I bared my soul and now the readership knows exactly how big a loser I really am. Which obscure celebs do you think are pretty? It’s okay, we won’t judge.

…Harshly.

Justin Long of the Mac commercials.

Lee Pace of Pushing Daisies

and Kenneth Branagh. If you're a Shakespeare geek, you know him, if not, wiki.

Jon Stewart is my top crush of all time; however, Demetri Martin is a very close second.

I have a crush on Bill Maher. Now that is damn embarassing. Google a picture of him.

But then go on youtube.com and watch his standup or any of his shows; watch absolutely anything that has him in it. You'll have a crush on him too!!!

(And also Chris Brown is adorable and tallented and he's a year younger than me so not a big deal for me.)

I have pretty much the most fucked up celebrity crush ever: William Dafoe.

He's like 58 years old or something. …and not very good looking in the first place.

I can't explain it.

The kid who played Murray is actually Donald Faison who is also on Scrubs.

And I love Anderson Cooper. I know he's gay, allegedly, but he oozes sexy and smart. Ooh!

I second Allison on Lee Pace and the Mac guy.

Demetri Martin, too.

But my number one embarrassing celebrity crush is Anthony Stewart Head. Giles on Buffy.

And he's about the same age as my dad.

John Cusack (everyone who knows me, knows it. and loved him in Better Off Dead)

Lee Pace (The Fall, Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls, Infamous, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day)

Edward Norton (death to smoochy, primal fear, painted veil)

Josh Harnett (wicker park, pearl harbor, black hawk down)

Ewan Mcgregor (moulin rouge!, black hawk down)

Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes which are both embarrassing because they are really old.
