Heck, I even like her music.

I don't know how much is her character and how much is her but I just love that quirky sense of humor.

Incidentally, I feel comfortable admitting this as my wife doesn't mind this crush. She gets it like I get her crushing on that Ronin guy from Stargate.


I would say it's a tit for tat thing but I don't know that he has any tats.

Yeah, I'm old.

I saw Lewis Black on tour in January "In god we rust" and fell in love with him. He is handsome, very nice and has charisma.

besides, I made him laugh!! I'll put that on my resume.

Brian May, tasteful guitarist (doesn't overdo the distortion) and has a Ph.D. in Astrophysics. My kinda musical/physics nerd!!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Studmuffin of Physics in the 21st century.

There were three in the 20th century: Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan.

Tyson continues that proud tradition.

Please note further up in the thread that one of my crushes is Dr. Brian May.
Lead guitarist of Queen and astrophysicist.

Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm. The story lines are fake, but that's really his personality. He's a massive arrogant ass and not as good looking as Jeremy Piven.

If I could look like anyone, it would be her. Did you see her and Seth Rogen presenting an award together at the last Golden Globes? He was like "I'm hiding a massive erection right now." She couldn't stop laughing--as well as the audience.

Don't know why I have a thing for newscasters. They're attractive because they are both cute AND intelligent. Although the nod might go towards Alyona because she's more of shit disturber, which is a plus in my book.

In April 2011 Delany came 9th in People magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful list.



She participated as a celebrity guest in fundraising events which support the rights of same-sex couples to marry.[98] In addition, she has supported Planned Parenthood. She attended the organization's 90th birthday celebration in New York City in 2006. Delany said: "It's hard to imagine where we'd be in this country had Margaret Sanger not founded that first clinic here in New York, 90 years ago."[99][100] She attended events sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.[101][102][103]

Just watched J.Edgar the other night. Still love Leo.

A 'recent' crush though is Adam Beach. Started watching 'Arctic Air' which is a show on CBC here in Canada kind of by accident, and he caught my eye. He reminds me of someone who came into a store I worked in when I was 21, this gorgeous guy w/long hair that was looking for some pieces to attach to his feathers as he was a Native dancer performing. Since Adam Beach is Canadian there is a teeny possibility it WAS him, (even the timeline lines up) but at any rate, he reminds me of this guy that really has never left my mind since that one meeting (and yeah, I regret not asking him where he was performing so I could go see). And so, I started watching the show and he's my new crush, lol.

He is just my little Bubbeleh! I am almost 1/2 foot taller, and I've always been conscious of being seen with shorter men, but for Jon I'd make a major exception!

I'd like to eat him for breakfast, starting with the feet and working upwards.
