Who's your celebrity crush?

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.
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
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.
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:

(from 30:40 on)
Gotta love her as a person as well.
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.
What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
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.
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
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).
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
Backstage Report On WWE Raw Talent Being Discussed For Worlds Collide Appearance - Wrestling Inc.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
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…”).
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 ;-)
Vanessa Paradis
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.

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
(more recent)
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
How far back into your childhood can your remember and what is your favorite memory of that time?
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).
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Some examples:
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: 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.

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
I had to google pictures.
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.

“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
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. …

Jasmin Tabatabai (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.
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:
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
Those were all as a teenager.
Wow.
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?
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
And watch The Petko Dance:
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 ;-)
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Um, yeah …
Brody Dalle:
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.
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
A force of nature.
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Just watch a few seconds here:
And Justine Frischmann:
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
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!
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
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.
Sinéad O’ Connor
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
Edina Gangl (water polo):
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.
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
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.”
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
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.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Kim Deal
(MTV days)
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
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 style. Her voice.
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
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.
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Karen O
Zia McCabe
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.
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
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.
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Still so pretty:
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Shirley Manson
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:
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.
Incredibly pretty.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
“Bow down to me”
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Abi Tucker
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
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.
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
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 ;-)
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.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Carolyn Lilipaly
“I’ll feed your obsession”
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
(Meike Droste, German actress)
This video:
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Cat Deeley
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
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.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
