Who's your celebrity crush?

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
Right, I also had a Jewel Kilcher poster (which I thought was OK to have because I liked the music as well). First album period. Before her style changed more to glamourous. It was this song and the video to it that got me.
What are some of the most annoying movie clichés?
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers, pending a physical - NBC Sports
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Incredibly pretty.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
Wow.
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Scientists Just Found an Ingredient for Life in a Newborn Planet System - The Daily Galaxy
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Bristol Myers Joins Race for New Class of Cancer Drugs With BioNTech Deal - Barron's
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Kim Deal
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
Karen O
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
Could Patriots cut Stefon Diggs and owe him nothing? It’s complicated. - NBC Sports
The first one, as a teenager, was Sophie Marceau. Perhaps my biggest celebrity crush. Seing the two “La Boum” films when I was 13. She was 13 in the first film as well.
Carrie Brownstein. Same here, I admire her to this day for who she is and what she does. And will always do. And also: My God is she pretty. I’ll always have a celebrity crush on her.
Her eyes. Her facial expressions. Her style. "The girl who looks boyish is the intelligent boy's choice," she once said, explaining her short hair.
What is your craziest college sex story?
First row and Nina Gordon (my friend’s favourite) and Louise Post took off their shirts and played the encore in their bras. Oh boy!
But there’s another aspect, I can also find someone physically attractive. In that respect, among other, I have a thing for plus-size women. And when thinking about it: How many famous actresses would classify as plus size? I cannot think of any right now. I am sure I would have had a crush on a plus-size actress. But there do not seem to be any. At least not a lot, for sure. Which is a bit unfair, I have to say. A bit discriminating. TV and films should show more plus size women.
And Justine Frischmann:
But I have also always found her really really pretty. And, yes, sexy. During my college year in the US, I had a huge promo poster of her on my door (“Stories from the City…”).
And yeah, in more recent years, I still have this, when watching TV or music videos, that I then find someone super pretty and just enjoy watching them. Their faces, their facial expressions.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
She was really a teenage crush. I had the films on VHS. And I saw as many other films with her as I could. All secretly, I did not want my sisters or anyone else to notice ;-) Would have been uncool, I thought. So no posters or stuff. Interestingly, my first real life big big crush (for 4 years, without trying anything) looked very similar.
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
Those were all as a teenager.
Cat Deeley
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Abi Tucker
Carolyn Lilipaly
Shirley Manson
A force of nature.
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
And watch The Petko Dance:
Lovefoxxx
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
So, this one developed into a really big post, way too much. But I felt like writing this down. If not for anyone else, it’s interesting for me to reflect on this.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Just watch a few seconds here:
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Zia McCabe
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
With my definition of celebrity crushes, I actually keep having small celebrity crushes even at 46. It’s more that I admire someone when I see them. I wouldn’t do what I did as a teenager, then watch entire films just to admire someone. I’m a bit too old for that.
I do find this topic interesting, browsing through others’ posts. It really shows one thing: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no general standard, really. It’s individual. And that’s quite nice, isn’t it?
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Seems like I, when watching sports, always find an athlete I find very pretty, where I am waiting for the camera to show her. It’s stupid but it’s true.
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
I’ve read some not so nice things about her though. I’d rather not know more and keep her songs I like in mind. And this video ;-)
This video:
Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. So my type, looks-wise. So reminding me of a big love in my life, who looks-wise would be in between Shelley Duvall and Fiona Apple, and whom, of course, I admire in a different way because I actually know her ;-)
Right, and a few years ago, I watched the Martha & The Muffins’ video “Echo Beach” and was really fascinated by the blonde keyboard player, Martha Ladly.
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
Here it was just the music videos. “Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth”: You do not even see her that much, on keyboards and tambourine. But every time the video came on, I had to watch, I was waiting for those moments. Wow. It wasn’t more than that though, really.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
Some examples:
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Back then I have to admit I watched a few of her games only to see her. I liked watching tennis and played myself. But with Mary Joe Fernandez, I more wanted to see her.
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
My very first concert as a teenager was also Veruca Salt then, in Hamburg. Them opening up for Dinosaur Jr. Me and my friend were so impressed that we actually missed Dinosaur Jr. …
(Paula Beer, German actress)
“Bow down to me”
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
I really do love Tegan as well. But yeah, Sara… I wouldn’t tell anyone about it and I wouldn’t watch Tegan & Sara videos just to see her, but my Sara fascination will surely last my whole life ;-)
I had seen this video on MTV Alternative Nation. Not only did I love the song and went to buy the album the next day, I also immediately was focused on Louise Post. I loved Nina as well, but it was Louise.
Sinéad O’ Connor
And: I have always hated watching football and having female friends comment on which players they find attractive. But … I have to admit that when watching sports, me too, I secretly do pay attention to whom I find pretty … Perhaps that is normal. Anyway, it’s just a little “crush” during the game.
(Meike Droste, German actress)
And nowadays I still have this thing when watching sports. Athletes I like to see. I can easily name a few I find very pretty, whom I like to see:
Brody Dalle:
I actually put images of her on many flyers I created when together with a friend I hosted a monthly punk rock club night as a DJ. One week before, we would plaster the city with homemade flyers.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Gorgeous. And I love her voice. And she seems to be such an amazing person. She lives in an ecohouse she built herself in some small beach town in Brazil (I saw an interview on YouTube).
I mean, first of all, I love the band. I saw them opening up for Ryan Adams in Philadelphia in 2002. And I was impressed with their music, immediately bought their album If It Was You at the concert.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
I remember having a discussion, one night out when I was 20. Me, my two best friends and the girl I was in love with (but never told her), who had started studying dentistry. She said “teeth gaps are awful, I cannot look at that!”. Me and both of my friends: “Vanessa Paradis!! Sorry, she’s only complete with tooth gap, and very pretty.”
(more recent)
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
(MTV days)
But well, that’s it from me. Yes, I am quite fascinated with female beauty. Mostly, it’s the eyes, definitely. The eyes and the face. But it’s even more fascinating when personality fascinates you as well. That’s the real deal. In real life. And on TV or in videos, you can just admire looks and personality. Without anyone knowing, for my part ;-) I would only share this here, where I am anonymous.
Vanessa Paradis
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
First of all, for me, per definition, “celebrity crush” means a person I find to be very attractive and I can’t stop watching because I find them very beautiful. I don’t mean an obsession. I never had that. Even as a teenager, I could only have that in real life. A real crush. Permanently thinking about someone. Celebrities were never “real” for me in that sense. And hey, as you will see, there are a lot that have fascinated me, more or less (whereas in real life, it hasn’t been very many). But always just when I was seeing them (or, with singers, also listening to them). So, that’s my definition of celebrity crush.
And check more YouTube videos. This one, from 2:27: I could watch again and again and again (I don’t, but I would enjoy it).
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Still so pretty:
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Um, yeah …
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
I had to google pictures.
And, about a year ago, I saw an old Woody Allen film and saw Shelley Duvall for the first time. And I was amazed. How crazy beautiful that woman was. Her big eyes, the eyelid space (interesting thing to notice as attractive), her paleness (yes, one can like paleness!). Her vulnerable expression and in the next moment that glow, that spark.
(from 30:40 on)
P.S. An interesting thing. In real life, superficially, it’s faces for me. Eyes. And faces. Although I don’t believe that eyes is a superficial thing, actually.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
