Who Is Your Celebrity Crush?
April 2nd 2008 03:54
Oh the things I'd like to do with Gordon.........
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?

I'm restricting myself to people working today.
Monica Belluci has been top of that list for sometime for me...
Other contenders Christina Ricci, Natalie Portman and from a purely physical viewpoint Megan Fox.
Just to play this game out I will confess to having a man crush on Timothy Olyphant, Aaron Eckhart, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn and Robert Downey Jnr.

My Apologetics
However I have full permission but my wife to look but not to oggle. It is the unwritten rule that you do not poke your eyes out after marriage. I an appreciation of fine architecture and this is just one area of interest.
Hallie Berry - Fine style and shape. She looks very fit without losing her feminine form. Yes should would look good but I feel that she would also be high maintenance.
Naomi Campell - What can I say? Looks good in everything. Feisty too. Yet I suspect that if her future husband came home late from work, short of pay and lipstick on the collar that we would be reading about her jail terms again.
Lucy Lui - I have no idea why. I guess she just the looks. Yet I suspect that it is because Bender likes her.
Rachell Welsh - When I was a kid she gave me a reason to want to grow up. I really wanted to meet someone just like her and save her from dinos.
Cher - When she was younger. No comment.
The list goes on.

omiGod you too!
At the moment Im all hot and bothered for James Masters because Im watching Buffy re runs and he's just swanning around half naked and being a Big Bad and I love Big Bad.....I love it when he mixes alcohol with blood. Way to go, you bad, bad vamp you! At the onset of my dreamy sighs Kman took it upon himself to do a where is he now? search....And promptly informed me that the Adonis had let himself go and was now not hot. I didnt look at the pics. I'll stay with the fantasy, thankyou!
To describe all my celeb crushes would take all day....But Tricia Helfer from 'Battlestar Gallactica' is a big one for me too.
Oh! Thanks Jon - Christian Bale! Yeah!
Now....Put all three together with Kleo in the middle!

There are a billion others I waver between, but it's good old Dick for me right now. But aside from dick, my girl crushes are Monica Bellucci - I'm with you JD - and the singer from Sneaky Sound System at the moment.

Those large blue eyes, posh-in-a-cute-way English accent and awkward sense of humour (at least that of his romantic comedy characters) did it for me everytime!
I liked him the most in Notting Hill. Ahhh...

If we're talking actresses, how about Tina Fey. Um, Salma Hayek. Victoria Abril.
If we're just talking about anyone, then I've got a crush on both Carla Bruni and Queen Rania of Jordan!

And He's a Victorian!!! - Victoria's Sporting stars
Catharine Zeta-Jones is also a tidy unit (what she sees in Michael Douglas I don't know) and rounding out the top three is Kelly from CSI Miami (can someone help with her real name).
I think that highly of her that I sit through an hour of David Caruso's excruciating acting just to get a peek of those gorgeous eyes....and ummm.....naaaah better leave it there!!!

i have always had a crush on chris cornell, the lead singer of 90s seattle grunge band soundgarden (and also audioslave) i dont think ive ever seen anyone more beautiful, i think its his musical talent and his integrity that really shine through in his presence, hes very softly spoken when interviewed but rages on stage

Samaritan - I generally find Johnny Depp a bit too pretty to have a serious crush on (though I do love him). But Johnny as Captain Jack Sparrow? Oh sublime. I LOVE him at Cpt Sparrow. That character is the only reason I watched either sequel!
Harry - Natalie is very attractive
Tammy - I don't know George Straight. I might have to investigate

Australia's Next sTrOpPy MODEL!
I can't say anything about Gordon Ramsey coz I haven't seen him in action but he looks like a popular choice.
Def Christian Bale and DEF Gerard Butler. I suppose I have a crush on Brad Pitt, which seems like an obvious choice but I like that he's not afraid to look ugly. In 'Kalifornia', '12 Monkeys' and 'Fight Club' for instance and he was nuts in 'Snatch'. I like that he wasn't afraid to look his age in 'Babel'.
Female crush Liv Tyler or Kate Winslett!

K - it's always the difficult ones
Anon - ohhh Paul Walker.....I did love him in the Fast and the Furious movies. Hot.
Anon - so pleased others love Gordon too!
Gaye - men in make up huh? I must say, I had a big thing for Robert Smith of the Cure in my younger days. He did wear eyeliner and lipstick very well!
Ty Rant - I've never been a big fan of Brad. But now that he's getting older, I can start to see his appeal. He's a bit more weathered now and not so pretty.....which makes him much more attractive I think.
Good choice on the Girl Crush, Liv Tyler would definitely be one my girl crushes too

JOHNNY DEPP....DROOL!!
Johnny is tops...no more said...
However...I once was asked for a F@$K by a VEWWWY famous rock star...I was 19, svelte, blonde, care free and coquettish...he was a few years older, fatter, be-wigged....
idiot that I was...it couldn't have been THAT BAD!!!!
I actually knew the guy who did say yes, and he shacked up with him for two years, and got lots of fringe benefits....one would have to...
so, no, I kept myself 'nice', and declined the offer, to f*#k the rock star, which was via his manager after the big launch party, next to the laser, in the ceiling located control room.
The laser had impressed me much more than the rock star, as it was the first laser I had ever seen, and 'stars' are all the same, in a way, all smiiles and promises, which evaporate in the morning.
Anyway when I was on the dance floor area, at the end of the party, they shot me in the forehead with the laser, at my request of course, and then into my champagne glass, and that was from the ceiling booth 100 feet away, well, I was impressed!
At the time I was chatting with my friend Madam Lash, she had snuck into the party, as it was invitation only, clever minx dressed up as a chef, and came through the kitchen, then dropped the gear to reveal her usual attire, loved Lash!!!
Oh, and I love Gordon too, but for verbal reasons only, being a great exponent and lover of foul language myself...and I love it when he tells those idiots off, but, it also makes me sick to think what may be going on behind the scenes of the restaurant one is in..
cheers
