A place where we can indulge our obsession with all things celebrity.

Who Is Your Celebrity Crush?

April 2nd 2008 03:54
Gordon Ramsay
Oh the things I'd like to do with Gordon.........
Yes, it's a slow news day in celebrity land. I can post an article on how Paris Hilton tripped over her own feet and fell on her chin in Prague and blamed the paparazzi......but how interesting is that?


Instead today, I want to talk about celebrity crushes! Who is your celebrity crush? Now when we think celebrity crush, we think of 14 yr old girls, crying because they caught a glimpse of Justin Timberlake in the flesh! Or in my case, it was an obsession with Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block and Morton Harket of A-Ha. But lets face it, even us grown men and women have the occasional crush on a celebrity. It's harmless and it's fun........unless you take your obsession too far and become a stalker. Remember, crush - good. Stalking - bad.

I have a celebrity crush at the moment. For many years no man has been able to hold a candle to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl in my mind. Dave is the man I would have thrown any other man in the whole world over for.

However, recently it seems that Dave Grohl has been supplanted at the top of my list. And no it's not another rockstar or an actor that that pushed Dave out of the number one spot. It's a chef!!!!! Oh christ, I'm getting old.

So, the Chef. No it's not bloody Jamie Oliver. What's sexy about him? No, it's that gorgeous, craggy faced, swearing scotsman, Gordon Ramsay that I'm completely obsessed wtih at the moment. During the week I'm watching (and re-watching....several times) Gordan Ramsays The F Word, and Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I can't get enough of him. I love him. And you know, the more he swears, the more I love him! What isn't sexy about a man who is good looking, unpredictable, charismatic and loves food as much as I do????


And how can you not love a man who names the turkey's that he's raising with his kids for xmas dinner - Nigella (Lawson), Jamie (Oliver), Ainsley (Harriet) and Deliah (Smith)?

Unfortunately, the Australian government is doing absolutely nothing to endear the country to Chef Ramsay. First, it was announced that federal Parliament wants to do a review of the broadcasting code of conduct because Gordon said f**k 80 times in one 1 hr episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Then they turned down his application to open a restaurant in Sydney on the grounds of "decency".

Hello you dumb f**k's.......the man is one of the best chef's in the world! And you launched a tourism campaign to the UK where the tagline was "Where the Bloody Hell Are You". Don't you think that's a little hypocritical?

F**k me, any politician ever gets wind of the language I use on a regular basis and I'm likely to be deported. You see, that's another reason I love Gordon. Watching an episode of anything with Gordon in it makes me feel as though I actually don't swear that much. Which is a different feeling for me......cos usually truck drivers and sailors are asking me to tone down my language! Of course, I might have to be careful now should I ever visit one of Gordan's restaurants as he's proposing to ban swearing in all his restaurants now. Neither customers or restaurant staff will be allowed to swear......with customers even liable for a fine of $11 AUD if they are caught. Dinner is going to be bloody expensive by the time I rack up my fines.

Yes he's outspoken, he has a filthy mouth, but he's cheeky, charming, gorgeous, cooks wonderfully and loves his wife and kids to pieces........which just makes him an irresistible package to me.

So, who is your celebrity crush?

Can You Guess Who?

January 3rd 2008 04:11
The NYPost Page Six had this not so blind item yesterday. Can you gues who they might possibly be talking about?

WHICH 40ish actress has finally gotten pregnant for the first time? Her rep is denying it because she's only a month into it, and has suffered miscarriages in the past. Said our source: "Watch for her to get bangs and start wearing hats to hide her sagging face because you can't be on Botox when you are pregnant

Nicole Kidmans wax likeness at Madam Tussauds
Her wax figure has about as much life in it as Nicole's normal face
Hmmmm.......that's a tough one. While you ponder who that might be, here's an interesting picture I found on the internet. It's the wax figure of Nicole Kidman which was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London last month. Is it just me, or can nobody else tell the difference between a wax figure of Nicole and the real Nicole? See what happens when you over-botox????

This week started out kind of slow in the world of celebrity news, but then thankfully Lindsay and Britney took it upon themselves to give us plenty of tabloid fodder to digest. But after the excitement of Lindsay's arrest and Britney's meltdown, I need something a little less 'sensational' for Friday.

Today I have a special treat for you. Poetry is a popular topic here on Orble. For some brilliant advice on how to write poetry, or to see some outstanding examples of poetry visit David's Mindorgasm's blog, or see Ash's work (just two examples of the many talented poets found here on Orble!). However, if like me you can't write poetry to save your life, never fear, you'll still enjoy today's Friday Fun! Miswanderlust pointed me in the direction of this brilliant piece of poetry featured on Spout Blog. The piece below is by a young lady named Erin and is her tribute to Allen Grinsberg's 'Howl'. For those of you unfamiliar with this poem (and to those people I ask the question "what the hell were you doing during English literature people?") Click here to see the original text of a number of Grinsberg's poetry, including Howl
