Which type of celeb are you most attracted to?

[mvd]

Poll question: Which type of celeb are you most attracted to?

I'd say actresses. I like these soap actresses alone: Sharon Case, Aubrey Dollar, Heather Tom (not as pretty as the others but went up when I heard she's a Democrat), Lindsey McKeon, Erin Hershey Presley, Kelly Monaco, Jessica Dunphy (yes, she's of legal age,) Eva Longoria (too bad she left the show,) Farah Fath, Ashley Jones (again, too bad she left,) Jennifer Finnigan.

1. I'm not attracted to celebs

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. I agree with the spanish cat... they should all get slow

stomach cancer, I don't care... all of them are phoney whores.

[mvd]

6. I don't agree - too general IMO

Though some of the popular ones are made fun of properly by Brad Paisley's song "Celebrity."

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. Yeah, probably my medication level dropping this afternoon

First I slammed NPR and now this...

Damn.


Anyway, let me re-phrase that.

Anyone who CRAVES the attention of the camera, and has to have it to keep doing what they do, which is leech off society in general, in other words, a true celebrity. Someone who is known for their name and face alone, is, to me, scum.

Now, celebrities who have talent, and just happen to be caught up in the photo ops when they are in town are a different story all together. (Newman/Woodward come to mind, Malcovich and others, I am sure)

[AquariDem]

10. Yay, I'm not the only one

What can I say? They all just seem so...plastic.

[mvd]

12. Some overdo things..

and could be called plastic. But it's hard to call some of them plastic - especially those that are talented.

[AquariDem]

16. Well, people like the Dixie Chicks

I'd put in the second category...but it's just that the whole celebrity "gloss" that spreads over even deserving people bugs me. But I guess they can't help it :shrug:

[mvd]

17. Just doesn't bother me that often, I guess

Now Pamela Anderson types are a definite exception.

[FlashHarry]

2. Er, the type that looks like Jennifer Connelly.

:hi:

[mvd]

3. Great choice!

:hi:

[ForrestGump]

21. Ah, fair Jennifer

How could she betray me with that Geoffrey Chaucer dude?! How?! :-(

[supernova]

4. The Johnny Depp kind...swoon...THUD

Especially after today, the man just keeps getting better and better!

[MnFats]

7. OK, this will date me but...."Malcolm's" Mom

Jane, whose last Polish name I will butcher if I try to spell it. She is my idea of sexy. She gives me a hell of a buzz. (We're talking "Malcolm In the Middle," in case you didn't know.) OK, OK, she and her husband are bumbling idiots, but once in a while they look at each other like.... and then they give the kids some ridiculous assignment and aren't seen for a couple of hours...at this stage of life, that's a fine sex fantasy....

[ulysses]

8. this kind

especially when she's spooky...:)

[roguevalley]

9. hard to know types such as

sean bean and viggo mortensen, the kind with REAL talent

[Nikia]

11. Brandon Boyd is so hot

I went to the Lollapalooza concert when it was in Milwaukee with my husband and my best friend (male). I had not seen Incubus in concert before and was suddenly stricken by him. I have never felt so attracted to a guy that I was watching from afar so instantly. My husband was upset that I looked at every Incubus sight possible the next day. My best friend thought that my crush was funny and told everyone at work that Incubus was now my favorite band. He also found a catalog where I could order a life size picture of him, but I haven't ordered it yet.

[toddzilla]

13. mmmmmm

[trof]

14. Just finished "Kate Remembered"

(Katherine Hepburn)
and that is one lady I'd would have loved to sit down with and have a few drinks.
She was a scotch & soda guy like me.
:-)
edited for past tense
au revoir Kate

[SOteric]

15. Poets, writers, artistists and intellectuals

Not necessarily in that order.

[mvd]

18. I applaud your taste

I don't notice enough of them to say I'm attracted to them, but I wish I would have remembered to put them as a category.

[sangh0]

29. And spiritual leaders

.

[TrogL]

19. writers

Envy, I guess

[xchrom]

20. depends on the circumstance

but i have to tell you -- when it comes to looking at sexy guys -- i'm shallow.
i love eye candy.
so this week with the u.s. open on -- i'm lusting after andy roddick{a.k.a. A. ROD}, leyton hewitt, mark phillipousis -- to name a few.
movie stars -- a little different -- there's sexy fluff and serious meat. and depends on who i'm seeing at the movies.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

22. Guitar players, bass players, and singers

:9

on edit: musicians, basically. artists and writers too

[Cheswick2.0]

24. well, lots of people, among them..............

[LWolf]

25. None.

No reaction to them one way or the other.

What attracts me to people is ((who)) I see underneath the surface stuff. Never see enough with a celeb to be attracted, even if I pay
attention. Which I usually don't; I'm generally oblivious.

[FloridaJudy]

26. Really Good Science Fiction Writers

Nope, I'm not a trekkie, but I'd love to have a long conversation with Ursula LeGuin, Robert Silverburg, or Neal Stephenson.

And, of course, the late, great Isaac Asimov was my personal hero.

[jus_the_facts]

27. ..had to vote....other.....because it's a *three way* tie....

.....Singers...oooooh...Actors..ahhhhh...AND...Athletes...YES...YES...YES!! :smoke: :evilgrin:

...thanks to DU I got to oogle this hottie which I never would have seen the show for which his hotness will be displayed as I don't have cable but he is definitely delectable....oooh la la :9

[mvd]

28. I even forgot soap actress Lauren Woodland

That's how much I'm into just SOAP actresses. If I listed ALL actresses, the list would definitely be longer.

Also might be putting Kirsten Storms in the list soon - she likes the Dixie Chicks, as does Farah Fath. Farah's bio said she goes to church regularly, but as we saw on my religious services board, that's not necessarily a negative.

[mvd]

31. Oh, and Terri Columbino, too.

And Adrienne Frantz. More soap actresses. I won't even get into the other actresses here.

[mvd]

30. Another thing

I tend to like the lingerie models, but not that many of the well known models.

[last_texas_dem]

32. Sorry

I fought hard against my urge to respond to this thread with a Michelle Branch picture, but just couldn't stop myself. :-)



(Oh yeah, I stole that pic from Ebay; hopefully I'm not infringing any copyrights!)

Michelle is probably the only real celebrity "crush" I've had... silly as I know it is. Generally I suppose I do factor in, to the degree that I could ever know it, the personality of the celebrity and this often tends to lower my opinion of them. (Not with Michelle, obviously... haha) Of course, there are plenty of famous women I find attractive; probably the largest number of which would have to be actresses.

[buddhamama]

33. mix bag for me

Alec Baldwin
Chris Cornell

[_NorCal_D_]

Forgive me. I know i'm a knuckle-dragging mouth-breather. Please, forgive me...
