Who's your celebrity crush?
13.06.2025 00:12
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
What was your biggest culture shock going to Europe?
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
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?
Abi Tucker
Just watch a few seconds here:
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
Kim Deal
Night Owls More Impulsive Than Morning Larks - Neuroscience News
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).
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
Edina Gangl (water polo):
How do people break a narcissist man's ego?
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Planet Nine? Not quite, but some astronomers think they've spotted a new dwarf planet - NBC News
Some examples:
Shirley Manson
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
If a narcissist can't feel remorse, can they ever feel regret for an evil act after going to rehab?
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.
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
How were cows used in ancient India?
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
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.
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.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
Why is Hinduism not polytheistic?
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. …
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
Are MAGA the "useful idiots" for the radical-right billionaires like Charles Koch and Elon Musk?
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Americans Are Growing Less Interested in Buying Electric Vehicles, Study Says - Road & Track
(Meike Droste, German actress)
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.
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.
Is dating in college necessary? Why and why not?
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
1.5 TB of James Webb Space Telescope data just hit the internet - theregister.com
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Why do men think all women are the same?
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
Sinéad O’ Connor
Lovefoxxx
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
(MTV days)
Brody Dalle:
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
Um, yeah …
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
Gotta love her as a person as well.
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Karen O
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
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.
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:
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 ;-)
This video:
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
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.
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.
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
“Bow down to me”
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
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.
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
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.
And watch The Petko Dance:
And Justine Frischmann:
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Starting with: Sara Quin.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
Vanessa Paradis
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
Still so pretty:
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
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).
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.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
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.
(from 30:40 on)
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
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.
Carolyn Lilipaly
Incredibly pretty.
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
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 ;-)
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
I had to google pictures.
(more recent)
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.”
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.
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
Wow.
Those were all as a teenager.
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 ;-)
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.
Cat Deeley
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.
A force of nature.
Zia McCabe
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.
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 after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
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.
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…”).
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.
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
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.
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!
