Warning: nothing to do with romance novels, but I was bored and felt like hunting down pictures of pretty people.
So anyway, a little while ago, I found a meme that told you to list ten famous people you’d shag, but now I forget WHERE I saw it. Regardless, here’s my top ten list. Alex Kapranos and Jared Padalecki didn’t quite make it; James Mercer and Johnny Depp bumped ‘em off. The eye candy factor in this particular list may or may not suit you, since I generally like ‘em small, skinny and goofy, but if you think Spike Jonze is infinitely bone-able, you’ll probably dig this.
I have SUCH a crush on Matthew Caws. In fact, have another picture of Matt:
I get to see him live in just under two weeks! EEEEE!
Beck was the first goofy, skinny celebrity I had a crush on. He was the gateway goofy, skinny musician crush, if you will.
Yeah, I even think his Richard Koufey alter-ego is kind of hot, in a really weird way.
God bless whoever found this picture of Jakey-boy and posted it in the comments. RAWR.
CSI: Miami is rendered unwatchable to me because of David “Glasses On, Glasses Off” Caruso’s terrible acting, but I still tune in every now and again just to lust and drool over Jonathan Togo’s character. I’ll do chores or read by the TV until I hear Ryan Wolfe’s voice, then I’ll stop what I’m doing and sigh. Hey, here’s a thought: There needs to be a “good parts” DVD for CSI: Miami, kind of like those porn videos with only the money shots, only instead of spewing penises I get to see Ryan Wolfe looking adorably worried. DUDE. I’M A GENIUS.
Smart, super-skinny, angsty and rocks out with great sexiness and verve in stiletto heels: I apparently like my women the way I like my men. I’d so totally go gay for Polly Jean.
It’s the deadpan sarcasm that gets to me. Really. It is. Oh, fine, the rippling muscles don’t hurt, either.
You regulars probably know about my huge crush on Andy Lau. I’ve wanted him to be my boyfriend ever since I saw him in a kung fu soap opera when I was five or six years old. Him, and Ricky Schroeder in Silver Spoons. Andy’s appeal has lasted quite a bit longer than Ricky’s, however.
He is such a freak, and baby Siddharta knows he looks greasy enough to fry an egg on in a lot of his movies and pictures, but he’s a damn fine actor, and, well, LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKBONES. And that mouth. Christ.
I want to cuddle James Mercer ruthlessly and tell him everything’s going to be OK. Then do unspeakably dirty things to him. And then cuddle him again.
I think I’m supposed to tag people at the end of the meme, so how about this: I tag all of you who read this and feel remotely inclined to participate. If you do, just drop a note in the comments. I’m always down for some eye candy.
Damn, that is a hawt photo of Jake G. Almost makes me consider him for my list, which I now feel I need to compose…
*snort* Okay—coffee through the nose on an oily Depp. Sososo true.
It must have something to do with age and/or cultural specificity but I only knew three of these. And of those the only one I’d be remotely interested in is Johnny Depp. I doubt I could come with 10.
Here’s goes after some thought
Geroge Clooney (boringly predictable I know and of course Miss Snark deserves him)
Willem Dafoe
Alan Rickman
Harvey Keitel
Cate Blanchette
David Wenham (Oz actor, Faramir in LOTR but much sexier than that)
Anthony LaPaglia (in Lantana)
Catherine Zeta Jones
Bruce Springsteen (sentimental favourite)
Can’t come up with another two. How pathetic is that?
Johnny Depp is definately on my list. And Beck is such a cutie, and a whacko. So my type.
In addition: (See, a lot of mine are for the moment. I tend to be interested in characters rather than people in their entirety. I’m fickle like that)
Ryan Phillipe
Jason Patric. In The Lost Boys. Those EYES. Those LIPS. I so wanted to look like Star, too.
Stuart Townsend as he was in Queen of the Damned.
Zakk Wylde – So he’s married with like a hundred kids. So what?
Jason Issacs, as he looks playing Lucius Malfoy. I’m freaky like that.
Criss Angel, the magician. Oh, baby.
Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. He STILL looks fine. I just saw them on tour last year, and they were awesome. Simon used to be my boy, but he did not age well. Back in the day, though… (fights fangirl squeal)
And the final proof of my Generation X status: Morten Harket of A-Ha. Still very hot.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand David Caruso. His gravelly, trying-too-hard-to-be-sexy voice gets me like fingernails on chalkboard.
Eric Bana- my fav is him as Hoot in Blackhawk Down
Jason Statham – yowzaa whatta accent, whatta bod- what’s not to like
Gerard Butler – another yummy accent to go with a gorgeous pair of eyes
Ben Browder – John Crichton of Farside- best sense o’ humor ever- I mean EVER
The guy who plays Jin on Lost – those eyes… those cheekbones
Patrick Stewart – but he must be reciting Shakespearian sonnets as we shag
Milla Jovavich- hot chick who kicks ass
Mark Decasscus – have you seen him as Mani in Brotherhood of the Wolf? (yeah, well you should cuz he’s in it and it’s a cool flick)
Monica Belluci- cuz face it, she is one amazingly beautiful woman
Sean Patrick Flanery- my God, did you see him on rhe cover of Playgirl? I almost didn’t recognize him he looked so grown up
yummy… all of them… and these are just a few of my flavors of the month although Eric is ALWAYS on the list
I agree on the Depp and Jake Gyllenhaal, and ESPECIALLY on Jonathan Togo, who as Ryan Wolfe is a refreshing break from Horatio “Captain Obvious” Caine. I’m at a loss as to why they’d put him in the “will-he-or-won’t-he-go-blind” scenario, it echoes a bit too strongly of Vegas’ Grissom’s hearing problem.
On the guy list, I tend to go for skinny, geeky, sweet guys:
Patrick Dempsey
Cillian Murphy (evil dudes in both Batman Begins and Red Eye)
Liam Neeson (yes, I have an Irish fetish)
Topher Grace
Tobey Maguire (both in Spider-man 3!0
Scott Speedman
Elijah Wood
And of course, Jonathan Togo. ^_^
That pic of Jake G. looks like an 80s Calvin Klein ad; that is to say, slightly wrong in illegal, sacrilegious ways. What’s wrong with you people??? Do you not see the old school allure of Matt Damon? What about Josh Hartnett and his delicious squinty eyes? Naturally I must have Don Cheadle for my very own and Morgan Freeman with his sexy older guy pierced ear could read anything to me and I’d probably have an orgasm. Sadly I’m finding a new sexiness to George Clooney that I categorically did not see during his ER days. He’s 45-ish and suddenly so interesting and therefore sexy to me. And to be perfectly honest, Will Smith. I know, I know, what the fuck am I thinking, but all you bitches need to do is watch the first 5 minutes of “I, Robot†to know what I’m talking about. The man used to be goofy, but somehow, a pair of black boxer/jockey shorts and a shower scene makes him FINE. Do you hear me? FINE.
I hardly know any of the Gen X list. As a Baby Boomer, my list says two things, age doesn’t matter (there’s a 46 year range) and I tend to be a sucker for an accent. In no particular order:
Brendan Shanahan (hockey player, Detroit Red Wings)
Colin Farrell
Colin Firth
Michael Vartan
Pierce Brosnan
Liam Neeson
Sean Connery
Gerard Butler
Sam Elliott
Patrick Stewart
1. Ewan McGregor – I love him. He’s my number one celebrity crush.
2. Charlie Hunnam – Another Brit-boy I find myself lusting after. Go see Green Street Hooligans and rent the tv series Undeclared.
3. Jake Gyllenhaal – Who doesn’t love him? It’s the beautiful eyes that get me every time.
Aw, I don’t feel so bad about accidentally posting that Jake G picture in here now.
Good list! I think Valentine’s Day is sparking many hunk pictures. Jill Monroe is giving us a hunk a day and you just have to trot over to Gena Showalter’s blog to see the nice little gift I sent her. heh heh
Ewan McGregor – I love him. He’s my number one celebrity crush.
Me too! In fact, I’m having a devil of a time thinking beyond Ewan in order to get anywhere near 10 people…
1. Daniel Day-Lewis, who achieved Hottest Romantic-Action Star Damn! That’s His Own Hair-dom in Last of the Mohicans.
2. Yeah, all right. Ewan McGregor.
3. Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Subject of my first mid-life crisis when I found out he’d only been 19 when Velvet Goldmine was shot. But complicated calculations prove unequivocally that I am NOT old enough to be his mother.
4. Qui-Gon Jinn. No, not Liam Neeson, who is perfectly fine, but looks like an oversized professor in real life. But put him in a flowing cloak and leather Jedi boots and…hell, if the hair had been real, he’d be up there with DDL.
5. Ioan Gruffudd. Made Hornblower great, and even almost redeemed King Arthur.
6. Xena, Warrior Princess. Again, it’s the character, not the actor. And the boots.
7. Rutger Hauer. Okay, Rutger pre-1990, but he was daaaaaaamn hot.
8. Drew Barrymore, because she’s damn cute. And she giggles.
9. & 10. Candy and Sarah, for obvious reasons that have nothing to do with wanting my book to move up a few places in the “to be reviewed” stack. Honest.
Ohmigod. Definite yeses to Cillian Murphy, Topher Grace (so skinny, so sweet-faced, so RAWR) and Ewan McGregor.
My hot list? Wow! Lots of names coming up and quite a few date me. Here goes and in no particular order:
Viggo Mortenson – as the King, he’s way odd as a person.
John Kay of Steppenwolf – My 15-yr old hormones went nuclear while watching him sing “Easy Evil” one lonely Saturday night.
Johnny Depp – Have you looked at his eyes?
How’s this for odd – Craig Fergusson of the Late, Late Show – he cracks a whip and knows everything!
The guy who plays Jin on Lost – those eyes… those cheekbones – Daniel Dae Kim.
Anthony Michael Head – Buffy’s watcher – yummy!
The kid who plays Superboy/man on Smallville even though I don’t watch the show because it makes my stomach churn.
George Eads – The one with the shoulders on CSI.
Worf’s not bad either.
Aidin Quinn’s butt.
I almost forgot about David Wenham! As Faramir and in ‘Better than Sex.’
Colin Firth.
No women that I can think of. THis list was longer than I expected it to be.
An opportunity to put then hot women’s pix on my blog? I am sooo up for this.
But first, I want to know what plans desertwillow has for Aidan Quinn’s butt.
BTW, Candy—Beck? Usually, I can see what women see in a cute guy, but Beck???
Um, ten.
What you have to do to make that show (CSI: Miami) enjoyable is to play the David Caruso drinking game: http://www.laist.com/archives/2006/01/31/the_david_caruso_drinking_game.php It makes the times between Mr. Wolfe’s appearances much more tolerable.
Oh yes Andy Lau is hot stuff, but you need a sprinkling of of J-rock goodness to top off that treat. ^_^
Tasty Eyecandy
CANDY – Brilliant Post, you insane person.
That picture of Andy Lau reminds me of the SICK, DEMENTED, PERVERTED, LUSTFUL, AGONIZED, HEARTWRENCHING fantasies I used to have about Carlos, from the Taiwanese Wiggles (the Wiggles is an Australian children’s show, which is now being franchized around Asia).
Honestly. I met him in person and I went WEAK IN THE KNEES. Truly. Weak like a heroine on a romance cover. There were cameras around, too, because it was an opening for a new Toys R Us in Taiwan. They probably play the clip of me on one of those late night Chinese “laugh at the foreigners” TV shows.
That man is TOO HOT for children’s TV.
P.S. Kezia – Anthony LaPagia in Lantana YES, ME TOO!!
And Harvey Keitel in Holy Smoke (I would play the Kate Winslet part in that scenario)
Stewart Finlay-McLennan
Brent Spiner
Aiden Quinn
Chris Noth
Patrick Dempsey
Goran Visnjic
*Sigh* I’m old. Some of my faves are dead now. But I’m going to give it a shot:
Colin Firth
Ioan Gruffudd
Viggo Mortenson
Timothy Dalton (Jane Eyre)
Rutger Hauer (Ladyhawke and Blade Runner era)
Oded Fehr
Pierce Brosnan
Jean-Marc Barr
Andy Lau
and my darling husband, of course.
I believe I’ve already made my opinion on this matter perfectly clear.
Oh my God. I broke the SmartBitches board.
I am so sorry. (Now I’ll have to pay for it.)
That’s what I get with messing around with Photobucket when I don’t really understand its powers.
Um, that guy up there who can’t keep his pants on? So. Male. Whore.
My list is up, FWIW.
>> I want to know what plans desertwillow has for Aidan Quinn’s butt. <<
Well, um, the usual things…:-))
Hey, I forgot all about Adrian Paul (and his butt) can I swap a CSI guy for him? They are way over represented. (This is fun. I had a very weird week with unpleasantness. I’m feeling better now, Thank you Bitches)
Bless you, sherryfair. To paraphrase Ben Frankin, that picture proves there is a God and he wants us to be happy.
And I must say that Jake gives all the argument men should ever need as to why they don’t necessarily need to wax their chests to be teh hawt. Me-Ow.
I’ll be in my bunk….
Ok I here is my list:
Authors (yes I’m a geek)
Sebastian Junger
Paul Auster
John Irving
and my absolute favorite:
Neil Gaiman
Actors:
Clive Owen
Matthew MacFayden
Rosamund Pike
(so I like the Brits, sue me)
I forgot about Goran. Absolutely.
This weekend I read an article about Charlotte Rampling. I have to add her to my list. I hope I look like that at 60.
Can I bring them all together in a fabulous beach house on the coast of Amafali?
1.My own hubby
2.Patrick Fitzgerald
3.Alessandro del Piero
4.Paulo Maldini
5.Didier Drogba
6.StarSailor
7.Andy Lau
8.Sean Penn
9.Spike
10.Richard Gere
Ah, the first 7 are easy because I did them before over here. As I’m in the UK, I have provided helpful links for the ‘unlikely to have a global fanbase’ people.
1. Johnny Depp
2. James Marsters
except only if it were Spike
3. Orson Welles
the young Orson Welles – circa 1940.
4. David Tennant
in character | actor
which is embarassing not only as he’s the new Doctor Who which thus undermines my “female Who fans don’t fancy the Doctor” stance but because there’s only two degrees of seperation.
Americans may recognise him as as the Scottish detective in Viva Blackpool.
5. Jayne Middlemiss.
Yes, Celeb Love Island was dire but I’ve had a crush on her for about ten years.
6. Zhang Ziyi.
So beautiful.
7. Goran Visnjic.
A man so beautiful a recent episode of ER caused me to want Luka’s babies.
8. John Simm
I fell for him when he played Raskolnikov in Crime & Punishment, and have watched everything he’s been in since.
9. Ewan McGregor
There’s nothing light about his sabre.
10. Dylan Moran
He’s no Johnny Depp in looks, but I so, so would. In fact, his Bernard Black character is very like my ex.
OMG, I forgot to put Nathan Fillon on my list! How could I forget Captain Mal!
Ah well, I guess my dear husband will have to sit this one out.
I thought I was the only person who had a serious thing for Rutger Hauer—back a ways, tho. My hubby even looks a little like he did—then. He looks a bit like Sean Penn, too. Also hot.
Oh, I have a way wicked nekkid picture of Adrian Paul somewhere, but I can’t share it here. (grin)
Damn! How could I forget Charlotte Rampling? I first saw her in Zardoz, loved her in Angel Heart. I haven’t seen her lately, but if that’s a recent photo, she’s still a hottie.
I’m horrible at this. It’s not looks so much as, well… something else. Plus, my hubby’s so hot that everyone else pales in comparison…. But he’s been gone for a week & will be gone for another, and since I’m getting a wee bit desperate:
Oh, yes. Gaiman would be on the list. Have you seen a pic of him in glasses?
And I’d do Jason Statham or Johnny Depp, sure, if they begged.
7 more? God, this is tough.
If I could resurrect Freddie Mercury, I’d be willing to get a sex change.
Nathan Fillion would do in a pinch.
Samuel L. Jackson is a little old, but hot anyway.
Sheesh. 4 more.
Okay. Guilty pleasure: Vin Diesel.
Alexis Denisof.
Michael Weatherly.
And if necessary, I’d go gay for Charlize Theron.
Bet it’s not a coincidence that the word verification is “wife74”.
Wait, I didn’t realize we could include cast members from Joss Whedon projects. Since that is the case and since there so much FUCKING SNOW ON THE GROUND that all I can do is sit at my computer and ruminate on cute boys (I could write, but nah), I’d like to co-sign on Spike, Captain Mal, and Wesley (the later years when he was working the hell out of the nerd turned bad ass look).
Also I’m going to include John Cusack. I preferred an 80s, “Say Anything” John Cusack, but he’s managed to maintain his quirky cuteness. Kit Oxendine of my 1980-something high school graduating class. At 17 that boy was HOT HOT HOT. Now, not so much. Balding I think. Perhaps a pot belly.
I would say Matt Dillion to conclude my 80s theme, but after seeing “Crash,” he’s just not the dark, brooding boy I used to know and salivate over. He molested Thandie Newton for crissake.
Argh! I forgot Captain Tightpants as well!
And John Cusack. I can’t believe I forgot the Cusack. Although it’s not so much a shag thing with him as a hug to tell him it’s alright, then shag, then more hugging.
They’ll have to replace Orson Welles and…er…Zhang Ziyi. Damnit.
And looking like a male whore is … bad, Doug? C’mon, Jake G. is really a nice Jewish boy. Who happens to look really good in blue denim shirts.
Now I feel like I should add some serious historical figures as well.
Yes, of course, Johnny Depp, but not always. (I sat through “Pirates of the Caribbean” just for him. And will probably do it again. All the while wondering how any female in her right mind would even give Orlando Bloom a second glance, with Depp around.)
Alain Delon, during his youth. Somewhere between “Purple Noon” and “The Leopard.”
Paul Newman, for about a 20-year span. Talk about aging well, like a fine cabernet.
Whoever said the young Orson Welles … I like your way of thinking.
Yes, most definitely.
For some reason, I never really felt Jake G. was all that irresistible until Brokeback—now, though, I think he acted and smoked Heath Ledger off the screen (anyone else bugged by the Heath Ledger mouth pursing?).
John Cusak used to be on my list until that movie with Diane Lane last year—the unnaturally dark hair did something to me, and it wasn’t good.
I’d also go for:
Ian McShane in “Deadwood” mode
Harvey Keitel in “The Piano” mode
Matthew McConaughey in any mode
Robert Redford in “The Way We Were” mode
Laurence Fishburne in “Othello” mode
Johnny Depp anytime, anywhere, any mode
I had a big crush on Dustin Hoffman after the first time I watched “All The President’s Men” but that’s over
James Spader—the man just keeps getting sexier and sexier, IMO
I’m sure there are more, but my mind is blanking at the thought of just these boinkables that I think that’s enough.
Now I feel like I should add some serious historical figures as well.
LOL, Sherry! I’ve got visions of a Smithsonian exhibition!
Oh, and I forgot to add Thierry Lhermitte to my list—even old this guy is smokin’
Oh, and Owen Wilson, too.
Sidney Poitier
Oh, and how could I forget Ralph Fiennes and Christopher Eccleston . . . and Colin Firth
