I’ve never been one of those girls who gets celebrity crushes. I mean, except…
…of course. But honestly, who DIDN’T?
That being said, I’ve got it bad, man.
And I’m a little creeped out with myself, to be perfectly honest. Because I’m not really crushing on Taylor Kitsch, 29, Canadian actor. I totally have the hots for Tim Riggins, the character he plays on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights”. Riggins plays fullback for the Panthers. Which is a football team in Dillon, Texas. A high school football team. (shudder)
I mean, I guess I can’t be blamed. He’s smoky and surly and a little greasy and sweaty all the time; he drives a big, black truck; he and his brother live on their own; he drinks a lot of beer; he beats the living shit out of other men (boys?) every episode. But if I went into my bedroom and found Tim Riggins sitting there silently, like one of the cheerleaders did, I think my clothes would have spontaneously unraveled into a pile of cotton-blend thread on the floor. INAPPROPRIATE. I KNOW.
It’s official. I’m a dirty cougar.
Anybody else out there want to share their celebrity crush?
Mrrrrowwww. (That’s my cougar cry). I may have confessed this to you at one time, but my oh-so-embarrassing “celebrity” crush was Jason Castro (hence the quotes). He was the dred-locked boy, yes boy, on American Idol a couple of seasons ago. I, too, was creeping myself out knowing I was like 20 years older than him. Totally inappropriate. But in my defense, I really just wanted to hang out and smoke pot with him. Then maybe smooch. Is that so wrong? mrow?
Oh, I’ve got LOTS of celebrity crushes, so feel free to point and laugh… Um… Weird Al. Yeah. I’m into that. And Drew Carey. The funny = the sexy.
I’ve had crushes on characters, too. Even criminally underage ones. Who might attend a wizard school. But I’m not naming any names.
AMY! I AM SHOCKED AND APPALLED!

(i hope this won’t ruin your crush… but… does he look a little like bruce?)
i am not ashamed to report that i have had fierce celebrity crushes on the likes of chaz palminteri and clint eastwood. (maybe that was a father issue popping up in weird places.)
i was also madly in love with john mayer in 2001. i wrote him an email after i listened to “inside wants out”. i wanted to let him know how much i enjoyed his music. (a few months later, “room for squares” came out and i stopped checking my email obsessively to see if he had written back.)
in 1984 i planned my wedding to sean astin, after watching goonies one million times.
wonderful post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector do not notice this. You should continue your writing. I’m confident, you’ve a great readers’ base already!
Enjoyed looking through this, very good stuff, appreciate it.
