Celebrity Crush #4

This one spawns from movies that should be considered too "juvenile" for my taste. Sadly, though, I don't think even the most seasoned of movie critics can deny the attractiveness of Robert Hoffman.


He stars in movies such as She's the Man, and Step Up 2: The Streets, and he's just awful nice to look at.


He is quite the jacka** in She's the Man, but he bears his pectorals a lot, and who can argue with that?


He's the fantastic non-street dancer in Step Up 2, and exhibits some mad dance skills amidst the awful acting.

AND, by scanning his resume on imdb, it even indicates other on-screen "highlights" to include From Justin to Kelly (which, sadly, I have to cop to seeing that one on opening night in an empty theater), Gigli, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.


Ok...so maybe he has had a less-than-stellar career, but at least most of these credits are as "dancer," so at least we know he's not trying to masquerade as a "real" actor. He's still awfully easy on the eyes...

Celebrity Crush #3

Whilst working my way through a run in the Cardio Cinema room at Gold's last night, I realized again my lust for Celebrity Crush #3. He is a man of limited resume, but he is delightful in every role he takes on. National Treasure was on the big screen, and I remembered back a year or two when I first partook of the goodness which is Justin Bartha. Check out those baby blues.


The quick wit and humor of his characters rolls off his tongue so naturally I can't help but believe that's what he's like in real life. He's also the perfect degree of nerdiness to compliment yours truly.


Oh, and did I mention he looks fab in glasses?

Celebrity Crush #2

I recently acquired all four seasons of the OC. I loved the show back in college when it was all the rage. I was working at Subway at the time, and my manager, Brian, and I would "talk OC" on Friday mornings while doing prep. I always had a thing for Seth Cohen (played by Adam Brody), and always thought the attraction was to the actor, but through careful conversation with Brian, we came to the conclusion that my soulmate was Seth Cohen, the character.

He exhibits that witty, charismatic charm that I'm always looking for. He has those dashing good looks. If there were a dictionary definition for my "type," his photo would be there.

Some funny Seth-isms I adore...

• He uses sarcasm and irony to cope with life's hurdles
  
• He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut
• He is madly, obsessively in love with Summer
• He is a board-certified geek
• He loves music
• He is cautiously distracted 90% of the time
  
• He has grade A geek-chic style
  

I know it's mildly inappropriate and irrational to have a huge crush on a fictional TV character, but real life has failed to produce anyone quite as intriguing.

Here's a cheeeeesy montage of Seth/Summer moments. Love the song (kudos to Ryan Adams for that bad boy). And in case anyone is dying to set me up (because it seems EVERYONE is these days) compare him to Seth Cohen first.

Celebrity Crush #1

Now, when posting about celebrity crushes, we all know who occupies my number 1 slot (John), but since I am just now acknowledging (and delineating them on the blog) that I have many celebrity crushes, I thought I'd start off the listing with someone a little more obscure. He is a man of dashing good looks, but many would say his brother, Ralph, has had the more stellar career. I tend to disagree.Joseph Fiennes came into my life when my roommate brilliantly suggested we watch Shakespeare In Love. I consented and immediately fell in love with the male lead, who so fabulously played William Shakespeare. I am now convinced that very few men know real love the way Shakespeare did (totally kidding, but they do a great job convincing you of that).

Joseph has more recently come into the spotlight again (after what I view as many years of hibernation) on a new drama on ABC starting this fall. I'm not too intrigued by the story line, but I dare say, just because my Joseph is starring, I may pick up a new favorite. Take the trailer for a spin...



Even better is it premieres on the same night as Grey's Anatomy, which, I might add, I still haven't been able to watch reruns of because of how devastated I was after the season finale!

So, here's to crush number 1 (and many more to come)!
