1, 2, 3, 4, 5

I've always had celebrity crushes. The first was Taylor Hanson. I thought I was going to marry him. Then there was Nick Carter. I also thought I was going to marry him. I grew out of my celebrity boy craziness in high school. But the crushes have returned. Not on Taylor and Nick, although they will both hold a special place in my heart.

In between meetings and dealing with clients my coworkers and I e-mail one another about office gossip, exciting happenings in our lives and most importantly our Top Five. 

The Top Five is an easy concept that one of my coworkers recently brought to our attention. Choose your top five celebrity crushes, any way you want: by personality, looks, their music, their movies, etc. I have been known to choose my top five based on the most recent TV shows and movies I've watched. My list also includes guys that most people have to imdb

Let's get to my list:

1. Jim Sturgess - After seeing Across the Universe last weekend, he has skyrocketed to the top of my list. My teenybopper self fell for him after seeing just one face he made in the movie. Please see the face he makes at 2:00 in this video. It might just be me, but I love it. Not to mention he can sing and has a british accent. 

2. Scott M. Foster - He plays Cappie on ABC Family's Greek. I know you watch it, don't be embarrassed. For a long time I thought WG2 and I were the only 23-year-olds watching. I have since learned that two of my coworkers also watch the dramedy geared towards High Schoolers. Those poor kids are going to have such a distorted view of college. I mean, the Zeta Beta's would totally have had kegs in the backyard after Lizzy left and how come no one ever acts drunk? Right, it's on ABC Family at 8pm. 

3. Christian Bale - Newsies, anyone? Is it weird that I'm more attracted to the Christian Bale in Newsies than I am to the Christian Bale in Batman?

4. Danny Pino - I love a good crime show but they scare me to death. But after watching a marathon of dvr-ed episodes of Cold Case, I can sleep easy knowing that a detective like Danny's character Scotty Valens will save me. Although, Cold Case is about old homicide cases, so Scotty Valens saving me probably wouldn't be a good thing.

5. Matthew Fox - Matthew isn't a regular on my list but Lost is finally back and I just saw a preview for his new movie Speed Racer

That is my Top Five. Oh, I almost forgot my silver fox. My silver fox is Christopher Meloni from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. So Working Girls, you have a top five and a silver fox, get working on that list!

Note: my coworker who started this has made a rule that George Clooney cannot be a silver fox. He must hold a spot on the top five. Her reasoning: "he would be everyone's silver fox" and "there is just so much hotness that he needs a spot." But, she also had Top Chef's Tom Colicchio on her list for a while. So, take her rule however you'd like.

Hey, I really like your style. Your blog came up when I got my regular "Jim Sturgess" Google alert. I always check the blog alerts, even if there's no real Jim-news in them...I just like to see what the masses are saying about Jim.

Well, that face you mentioned in the video, that's the exact moment I fell for Jim. *splat* on my ass, in love with him.

So now I waste my time at work looking at YouTube videos and talking on a Jim Sturgess forum. Get back to work, you say? Not while Jim is out there waiting to fall in love with me.

Oh yeah, and my forum name is Fantasygirl...Jim's of course. LOL

Definitely love the list idea!

I had a dream the other night that I was kidnapped and Elliott came and rescued me. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep watching SVU.

Um... Yum! said...

The first time I saw the trailer for Across the Universe and thought, 'Who is this young Ewan McGregor-type and how do I get to making out with him??' yeah, I've been all about Jim Sturgess. Excellent choice indeed. :o)

Unknown said...

Great list. An accent can make almost anyone drool worthy.

I love Dexter. Not the actor that plays him, the character. That may be a bit off.

WG1, I watched the video from Across the Universe and though I've never even seen the movie, I think I fell a little bit in love with Jim Sturgess, too. I know exactly what face you were talking about...I got all giddy.

My top five include: Jake Gyllenhaal, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Justin Timberlake, John Krasinski, and maybe Jude Law (if he's like he is in The Holiday). I agree with WG2 on the Silver Fox...definitely Jeremy Piven. So hot.

I'm a huge fan of Jim Sturgess and Matthew Fox. I'd take Jack over Sawyer any day! Scott Foster...oh man! I thought I was the only Cappie lover here! Yay I'm not alone!

I was completely OBSESSED with Taylor Hanson too. Funny that he has like four kids now with his wife...! How/When did THAT happen?!

addy said...

I love Danny Pino and Matthew Fox! I think I love Matthew Fox because when he is all scruffy and in scrubs, he reminds me of my boyfriend. So adorable!

Working Girl One said...

Whoa ladies, calm yourselves!

I'm so happy some of you share the love I have with some of the guys on my list. And that some of you also loved Taylor Hanson at one point. No one had a Nick Carter thing? C'mon...you all couldn't have been 'N Sync fans?!?!

Lisette - please. please elighten us with your list.

Kristen - you will always be remembered for having Tom on your list.

Alicia - some of the best dreams I have ever had have included Christopher Maloni saving my life, among other things. ;-)

oh my god. I know this post is old, but I just found your blog. I LOVE that look on Jim Sturgess, and also have never lost my crush on Christian Bale from his Newsies days. Are you also a fan of James McAvoy?
