[There are some women out there that we just can’t get out of our minds. No, we aren’t switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on some pretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren’t ashamed to tell the world we love them.]

It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for Aussies, and the lovely Isla Fisher is no exception. Even if she’s a lady.

While the Australian accent is always a turn-on, what really gets me weak in the knees is someone who can make me laugh…and matzoh ball soup.

Isla, then, is perfect for me. The woman has to have a sense of humor – she’s engaged to Sacha Baron Cohen, after all.  And, after three years, she has successfully pulled a “Charlotte” and converted to Judaism for her man.

Oy vay.

But Isla was around long before she started celebrating Hanukkah with her guy. She was a child actor on popular Australian television shows way before she graced us with her presence alongside Freddie Prinze Jr. in Scooby Doo.  Since then, she’s come a long way. Her role as the crazy sex fiend sister in Wedding Crashers won her a Breakthrough Performance award at the MTV Movie Awards and, more recently, she was in Definitely, Maybe and lent her voice to Horton Hears a Who.

A hot Australian who also does cartoons? Be still my heart.

Isla Fisher is as hot as her fiery red hair.  In 2008 she was #61 on Maxim’s Hot 100. And despite being near naked in that little photo spread, the woman’s fashion sense is what gets me riled up.  I’m jealous of all the fashion-forward outfits created for her character in Confessions of a Shopaholic, not that I could afford them. But what I can afford is Isla’s laid back style that’s easy to  imitate (even on a starving student’s budget). Now if only I could get my hair that color…

Isla is living proof that you can have it all.  She has a successful career, a fiance who she obviously hearts (she spent 3 years converting for him!), and an adorable daughter – not to mention she looks stunning while doing it all. I’m totally crushing on Isla Fisher.

We’re back with another edition of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff)!

As of 10:30 am today, I have handed in my last paper, completed my last final exam, and have shaken off the stress of another academic year.  I’ve been waiting for this moment for weeks—not only for the bliss of summer, but for my date tonight. That’s right, I’ve got my box of popcorn and a matinee tickets to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with none other than hunky Ryan Reynolds.

You’d have to be a heartless (er, vagina-less?) beast to not want to eff RR. His chisled bod and perfect pearly whites are the stuff of every warm-blooded female’s fantasy. I just Googled his pics to find one to use in this article, and there is literally page after page of bare-chested wonderment. Who said there was no such thing as free porn? (Editor’s Note: Mmmmmm.)

Besides his current feature in X-Men (which opened this week has already sparked rumors of a spinoff film for his character) Reynolds has starred in Smokin’ Aces and Definitely Maybe. But let’s not forget my personal favorite (and perhaps his best-known role), stealing the show in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder.

Reynolds has been my favorite campus hottie since I saw Van Wilder in 2002. After watching the suave and cunning Reynolds charm all the ladies, I too wanted to date the big man on campus. But my eighth-grade fantasies clearly were not the stuff of my present-day, sweatpants-and-under-eye-circles reality (let’s just say I’m not catching the eye of any frat pack types around here, okay?). So tonight, I reunite with the chiseled hunk, hoping that his sharp-eyed gaze can look past my post-finals funk and reward my hard work with some hard effing…if only in my dreams.

I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ve always believed in soulmates. And no matter how many times I’ve gotten my heart broken or experienced the shitty parts of the male/female drama that comes with each relationship, I’ve always kept faith that I’d one day find that certain guy who would sweep me off my feet and that would be it.

(I know it probably sounds ridiculous to the realistic and cynical people out there.)

Since I love a good chick flick, I went to see Definitely, Maybe this past weekend. I wasn’t expecting much; I actually thought it would be one of those movies I regretting spending $10.00 on. But to my surprise, I loved it. Not because Ryan Reynolds was the lead character. Not because there was this fabulous happy ending. But because it got me thinking about relationships. Read More »
