Celeb Crushes Part II: The List

So, you know about The List right? It came from "Friends" -- the 5 people you could be with if you had the opportunity, even if you were with someone else. So, keeping it PG, being with will be kissing (and don't get too uptight, like this would ever happen!). Some people don't subscribe to The List and have a Free Pass, meaning you could ...um... kiss, this person no matter what your relationship status for one day.

I've had a revolving List for about 12 years now. As always, John is a good sport about things like this and has a List of his own, even though his used to piss me off with people like Michelle Pfeifer, Helen Hunt and Celine Dion. All skinny girls with no butts. Hello? Could he BE married to anyone more opposite? Fortunately, now his list consists of more curvy ladies like Catherine Zeta Jones.

If you read my Celeb Crushes post, you'll know that many of those crushes lasted into the adult years until they did something dumb or lost appeal and got booted off. These include: Cary Elwes, Val Kilmer, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford. I have to say that Mel and Harrison must be Emeritus Listers though, because even though they are weird now, aaahhh... they gave me a lot of good years.

The revolving list included popular peeps like Pierce Brosnan, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Patrick Dempsey, Ewan McGregor and a dozen TV hunks of the day. Now, as I'm older, my list is getting more particular. I've totally got a thing for Brits (and Scots). So (drumroll) here we go. My current List:



5. George Clooney just gets better with age. He's really my only mainstream choice and being #5, he's always hanging on a thread towards eviction because sometimes he's too smug, too captain-of-the-football-team popular or says stupid political things. But really... he's our generation's Cary Grant. Sigh.



4. I am not usually a fan of blondes, but Daniel Craig? Wow... he promptly booted Pierce of the List (well that, and that unfortunate "The Matador" incident where I was turned off of Pierce forever). The new Bond is HOT!



3. Clive Owen has something over me. I've only seen 2 of his films -- and he's always in these movies I don't want/won't see. But everytime I see his picture or see him doing publicity, I get weak in the knees. Please Clive, do a movie that's not smarmy or rated R?


2. Aaah, Gerard Butler. If you haven't seen this obscure little movie "Dear Frankie", go get it NOW! It will make you fall for him.


1. Colin has been #1 on my list ever since BBC's "Pride and Prejudice." That version is the BEST. And the wet shirt in the lake scene? That was the equivalent to regency porn! I watch that mini-series once a year. I haven't seen everything else he's been in, but he just gets better. Mwah!



There are some oldy, but goodies I could include too, but that will have to wait for another post. Happy Listing!
