Embarrassing Physical Attractions...

[Crankie Avalon]

...have any? Not to people the rest of us wouldn't know the looks of (your coworker or something), but well-known people you find attractive that will make the rest of us scratch our heads or maybe even cringe...

For me, even though they are both much older than I am, Nancy Pelosi and...gulp...Dolly Parton. :crazy: :7

[Worst Username Ever]

1. Fat Anna Nicole Smith

[Crankie Avalon]

2. Oh my...

...that is embarrassing. :wow:

Just teasing...;-)

[Zuni]

20. Sorry, but that is really gross

The Anna Nicole show was (as someone else put it) a 'crime against humanity'.

[JCMach1]

146. Sorry, me too on this one.

:(

[Aiptasia]

3. My friend does...

He loves Tonya Harding for some reason.. demented..

Let's see. I like Amy Sedaris a lot (strangers with candy, letterman, sex in the city) when she isn't in the age makeup, she's a little hottie.

I've always had a thing for Eliza Dushku... And Marissa Tomei. Really any sexy brunette but that's not much of a stretch.

I hate barbie dolls (Anna Nicole Smith, etc.) or any girl that tries to be Marilyn Monroe. I also prefer girls more natural than plastic surgery.

[Crankie Avalon]

6. What's embarrassing about those?

You like women everyone likes! :D

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. Amy Sedaris is a doll in real life!

She does guest appearances on "Monk." Cutie!
Eliza Dushku has a butterface, sorry. I'm more of an Anya fan myself.

[Susang]

110. Yes, she is

I have met her "in person" many times. My husband used to work with her. :-)

[Zuni]

16. Eliza Dushku/Marissa Tomei---meow! down boy!

I think they are both very attractive

[mvd]

125. Eliza and Marissa are great - I agree

They are liked by most, though. All celebs have some detrators, but they are very popular in the attractiveness category.

Here's an embarrassing one for me - Holly King from Big Brother 5. I didn't like her boyfriend Jase (also from BB) at all, and she's loud and doesn't seem very educated. But there's something cute about her that separates her from say, Jenny McCarthy.

[stranger_with_candy]

131. Jerri Blank is HOT

:) well she's funny anyway, and yes Amy is hot.

[Bunny]

4. James Gandolfini and Dennis Franz.

Apparently I have a thing for overweight balding guys. Who knew?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. I agree about James Gandolfini

plus he's a good liberal. He spoke at a union rally during the RNC and protested Bush.

[signmike]

26. Franz' butt

Ewwwwwwwwwwww - I used to like NYPD Blue until they put Sipowitz' naked glutes on my TV screen. And he was Lt. Butts on Hill Street! hahaha

[laheina]

12. Thick guys rock.

I cannot stand a skinny guy. He needs to have a little around the middle. Thick legs and a nice tush can't hurt either.;)

[Richardo]

25. !!

[Bunny]

31. ??

Are you overweight and balding? If so, I KNEW there was a reason I liked you so much!! ;)

[Richardo]

46. Well, I've dropped a few, but here's a general idea:

;-)

[Bunny]

70. Ooooh baby! If you weren't a married man!

:loveya:That brown robe and belt thing is especially attractive!

I could do without the sandals, though, I'm just not that into feet!
:evilgrin:

[Politicub]

82. James Gandofini is hot

With his sleepy, deadly eyes and deep voice.

Woof!

[Crankie Avalon]

88. You and so many others, apparently...

...here I am struggling when I should just shave a bald spot in my head and stop exercising. :D

[Downtown Hound]

95. Well, you'll never have to worry about being alone then

;)

[dbt]

5. Sandra Bernhard

HELP ME PLEASE!

:evilgrin:
dbt

[Crankie Avalon]

11. I thought she was cute...

...in "The King of Comedy", too, so let me know if there's any help left over once you're done.

[tridim]

17. My friend also has a Sandra Bernhard attraction

I just don't get it. Sorry.

[achtung_circus]

7. Jane Araf

Currently CNN correspondent in Iraq. Something about her eye, maybe. I can't explain it but I want her.

[Crankie Avalon]

36. I'm sorry, I should know this...

...but I can't place her. Briefly tried googling for an image and couldn't find one, either.

[achtung_circus]

107. I can't find an image either.

She looks at the camera with a face slightly tilted down, she looks through her long dark lashes, her hair frames her face, her full lips,, excuse me.

[Beware the Beast Man]

9. Nicole Bass.

Just kidding!

[sniffa]

18. bwahahaha

that good, aLthough i'd be Lying if i said i never had fantasies about her.

[dolo amber]

13. I think Russ Feingold is as a god

:D

[NewJeffCT]

14. Nobody I can think of

The famous women I tend to find attractive are generally pretty much accepted as attractive.

I used to like Dolly Parton, and I don't think many men would think it embarrassing to like her, or leave guys scratching their heads.

[Crankie Avalon]

22. Really? Even with the wigs?

She seems very much like Cher...the sort of woman female impersonators gravitate towards portraying.

[NewJeffCT]

42. true, but

most guys don't care about the hair, they're too busy staring at her boobs!

[leftofthedial]

118. Dolly Parton wears wigs?

I didn't even know she had a head.

[eyesroll]

15. Woo-

Nope, not even gonna finish that. :evilgrin: Kidding anyhow.

I like the stereotypical nerd type -- awkward guys with glasses.

[sniffa]

19. bijou phiLLips

when she was baLd.

[flvegan]

21. Sara Gilbert and Amy Davidson

Sara (brunette smartass daughter from "Roseanne") and Amy (redhead daughter on "8 Simple Rules").

Something about smart, sexy, attitude-laden girls. Easy on the eyes, too.

[Crankie Avalon]

28. The first one's an interesting choice...

...that I can understand the more I think of it. The second one I never heard of.

[flvegan]

49. Here's a couple pics

If you've never watched the show, you wouldn't get it. Character is VERY much like Sara Gilbert's. She's the young redhead.
http://8simplerules.tvheaven.com/

[Crankie Avalon]

60. You're right...

...though she looks to have a body no one would apologize for.

[Logansquare]

23. Gary Busey

Back before he became a born-again Christian.

[Phillycat]

30. He looks hot in his mug shot.

[deutsey]

40. That's Nick Nolte, but I can see where you'd confuse him w/Busey

[Phillycat]

68. Huh.

Isn't there a Busey mug shot somewhere?

[Logansquare]

108. I'm sure there is...esp. with all his past drug use.

But please do not piss on my Gary Busey/Buddy Holly crushing.

[Logansquare]

105. That's Nick Nolte....and if it works for you, OK n/t

[arwalden]

24. Brad Garrett

[stupid grin]

94. I like Brad Garrett and Ryan Stiles too.

There's just something about a giant funny guy.

[snoochie]

142. I like Brad Garrett too!

:9

[SkipNewarkDE]

27. Sniffa

Can't explain it, that one just does it for me.

[LDS Jock]

119. me too.. I think he is adorable

maybe we should start a Love Sniffa forum?

[sniffa]

157. do you have a sniffa t-shirt yet?

:loveya:

[LDS Jock]

170. Does it come with sniffa in it?

If so, name the price!

[sniffa]

156. thanks

:D

[underpants]

29. Katherine Harris

Don't even TRY to top that one

[Zuni]

32. Helen Chenoweth maybe?

[underpants]

39. Are you stating your attraction to her?

If so that is definitely in the same ballpark.

I've always thought Katherine Harris was/is hot-dispicable human being but hot.

[underpants]

43. Oh let me add........... Paula Poundstone

Barking up the wrong tree?

[underpants]

45. One more............................Squeaky Fromme

adn I have no idea why

[Zuni]

55. Several of the Manson girls were attractive

I have to admit it. I would have to look at a picture to name which ones though. Can't remember what Squeaky looks like.

[underpants]

58. On the left

[Zuni]

52. No. I just meant that would top Katherine harris.

Sorry to let you down

[underpants]

59. you are right

and good for you :scared:

[Crankie Avalon]

44. Really??????

OWWWWWW!!!! Now, that's what I'm talking about--embarrassing!:7

[underpants]

62. Yep

[Crankie Avalon]

77. Holy crap...

...I'm sharing your shame.:P

[louis-t]

80. Wow! What a bod.

[underpants]

85. Yep to Crankie and yep to you

:9

[madison2000]

53. The guy playing Said on "LOST"

I think its Naveen Andrews. He is not my usual type, but my God is he hot!!! :loveya:

[Biased Liberal Media]

139. oh but I'm not embarrassed to have a crush on him!!!!

He's HOT HOT HOT!!!

[RevolutionaryActs]

145. His name on lost is Sayid, not Said hehe

:D

And yes he is hot LOL!

[crispini]

63. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Katherine Harris?

[signmike]

33. I can't remember her name...

The gal on the first "Survivor" - the truck driver

[Phillycat]

35. Susan?

[signmike]

65. Sue Hawk, that's the one!

She took a lot of poor mouthing and bad press but there was...just ...something about her...can't explain it.

[skygazer]

34. I can't think of any I have

But hubby's got it for Martha Stewart. :wtf:

[Crankie Avalon]

100. Yep, that's an...

...unusual one.

Nothing much else to say, really. :D

[NewJeffCT]

37. OK - I thought of one - Michelle Malkin

I think she's hot in an evil, demonic temptress sort of way.

[Crankie Avalon]

50. "...evil, demonic temptress sort of way"

That's a way that can be pretty damn hot.:evilgrin:

[Zuni]

57. I think she and Laura Ingraham are both hotties

[Crankie Avalon]

66. Oooooh, Ingraham, definitely...

...I don't know why she is in Coulter's shadow as the blonde wingnut covergirl--SHE MAKES COULTER LOOK LIKE A MAN!!!...oh, right...never mind.

[jackelope72]

38. *coughcough*TuckerCarlson*coughcough*

I know, I know, you can all stone me now.

The guy is repulsive in terms of personality and ideology, but I don't know...there's still something about his looks that gets my heart racing a little faster.

I'm sick. I need help.

[Lavender Brown]

48. *coughmetoocough*

He reminds me of a college professor I liked who always wore bow ties. :D

[jackelope72]

51. Glad to see I'm not alone...

Maybe there's a support group for people with our particular affliction.

[Lavender Brown]

61. If we request a new DU Tucker group

we are likely to be banned, or at least shunned. :)

[jackelope72]

64. Do you ever fantasize...

about getting him in bed wearing nothing BUT his bowtie? Do you think he wears that bowtie when he's making love to his wife?

[Lavender Brown]

67. That image may have just cured me of my Tucker crush

:scared:

[jackelope72]

86. LOL...You're welcome.

It just made mine worse, though. LOL

[NoSheep]

115. PUKE! I bet his &%##s smell like baby powder!

:puke:

[American Tragedy]

136. I don't know... he looks about ten years old.

And the bow tie just reinforces that impression.

[vixengrl]

138. I have a Tucker fantasy--

where I take him to a *real barber* to get a big-boy haircut, and then to Men's Wearhouse or somewhere to get a grown-up suit, and then we watch some Michael Moore movies together, and he acknowledges lefties really are right...and then he's a totally different person--so my fantasy ends with him just like that--haircut, new suit, left wing. It's non-sexual but nonetheless real.

[RevolutionaryActs]

171. I first saw him on Bill Maher, and when he first came on, I thought he was

very cute, then I heard him talk and realized he was a dick, but if you mute him, he is cute. Really happy to know I'm not the only one!

[kcwayne]

41. Ann Coulter

I had a fantasy about f..ing her brains out, but somebody beat me to it.

[flygal]

87. LOL - reminds me of Triumph on Conan

"I banged her (Coulter) and they arrested ME for beastiality"

[Tikki]

47. Maybe it is because he so talented, but...

...Music Producer, composer, Los Lobos saxaphonist and keyboard player; STEVE BERLIN just DOES it for me.



Mrs. Tikki

[Chimpanzee]

54. Jeanine Garafalo

[Zuni]

56. I think she is fairly attractive too

[obreaslan]

69. Don't be ashamed...

How could you not.

[Crankie Avalon]

71. Guilty, also...

...she's actually quite slim and conventionally pretty these days.

[flvegan]

72. Hell yes, and Tina Fey

I love smart, funny women. Both are lookers, too.

[Zuni]

73. Tina Fey---hell yeah

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

122. why is this embarassing?

she's perfect in every way

[EstimatedProphet]

74. Fairuza Balk

Something about her-even though she is one of the scariest women I have ever seen...

[dr.strangelove]

76. I have a crush on her too

Something about those scary eyes. She is a scary babe, but a babe nonetheless.

[Lerkfish]

167. hmmm...I share your interest, there...

but I didn't know her name

[Wallflower_Liberal]

75. I'm not embarrassed

I have a thing for Steven Paige from Barenaked Ladies (talented, smart, funny, and a liberal gotta love that!) Plus his cute as hell.

I also have attractions to:

Jeff Goldblum
Adrian Brody
Stephen Buscemi
Alan Cummings
Patrick Stewart
Tim Roth
Gary Oldman

[NashVegas]

78. I Once Had an Erotic Dream About Woody Allen

and woke up thinking, "oh, so THAT'S the appeal."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

79. Nancy Pelosi Is An Attractive Older Woman As Is Mary Landrieu

but I think Nancy Pelosi is a few years older...

[Crankie Avalon]

84. Yes, but I'm still only 37 and find myself...

...often attracted to all sorts of nice looking older women in real life. It can be embarrassing because some people assume you must secretly want a mommy figure or something.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

117. but Loretta Sanchez is the hottest member of congress

hands down

[Politicub]

81. Please don't hate me

But I found Scott Peterson very attractive, especially in his mug shot.

I feel like one of those pathetic people who writer prisoners in hopes of a marriage proposal, now.

[Crankie Avalon]

83. A lot of men thought Susan Smith was attractive, too...

...but only physically, of course, the same as you and other women find Peterson.

[Lavender Brown]

89. "especially in his mug shot"

lol.

[barackmyworld]

137. scott peterson is SOOOO hot

I bet he is going to get EATEN UP in prison

[stupid grin]

90. Don Rumsfeld

I'm dead serious and I'm ashamed.

[Phillycat]

91. Dear god.

Okay. You win. :puke:

[stupid grin]

92. I'm a sucker for charm and sleazy schmooze..

and he's got that.

[Phillycat]

93. Charm?

Hoo boy. Steadying my gorge here...

[stupid grin]

96. lol, his eyes get all squinty when he smiles

and his body language is commanding. He's also so good at making reporters laugh...aw...I'm getting all warm and fuzzy now.

[Phillycat]

97. You're making me want to die.

:puke:

[stupid grin]

99. How do you think I feel??

My attraction to him goes against everything that I was ever taught was good and right in this world!

[Phillycat]

101. There must be some sort of 12-step program available.

[stupid grin]

103. You'd think there would be.

I keep daydreaming that I'm reporting for the WSJ and just when I hardline him with a goodie, he winks at me and his eye *sparkles*. I blush and the other reporters around me giggle. We all joke about how charming he is.

[Phillycat]

106. Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod

I'm going here to settle my stomach:

http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/meat/index.html

[Crankie Avalon]

102. stupid grin and janesez are making me laugh...

...:7 :hi:

[stupid grin]

104. hi!

:headbang:

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

134. I've tried to do an intervention with stupid grin

before, but it didn't work. Attraction to grinning sociopaths is definitely a problem.

Girl, get some help! :hug:

[Crankie Avalon]

164. Found this and thought of you and your posts...

"All right, DU ladies, line up in twos...there's plenty of yours
truly to go around...I'm the "Grinch with the Inch!!!"

[stupid grin]

166. *gasp* be still my fluttering heart

SWOON

[smbolisnch]

132. Yep, cracking me up too.......

But seriously, Rummy? Gotta go with Janesez on that one! :puke:

[animuscitizen]

111. Don't be ashamed...

I've been charmed by a sociopath before. Some of my past boyfriends make Don look like a knight in shining armor. Sociopaths often have charismatic, ugly-sexy ways of inspiring attraction.

[Ryano42]

98. Missy Pyle from Galaxy Quest!

Num Num! :puffpiece:

Such an interesting non-traditional beauty!

[Champ]

109. Diana Taurazi, Women's College basketball star as well as WNBA player

For some reason whenever I see her in a interview or whenever she is speaking I feel instantly attracted to her confidence and personality, also very athletic and has a cute face. Not to mention she can beat you in one-on-one. ;)

[xpunkisneatx]

112. Rob Thomas, Brett Scallions, and...

Nick Carter...ya know, from the Backstreet boys? Ha. Never told anyone that before. Probably for good reason....



I need therapy...

And Rob Thomas is SOOOO hot to me, but all of my friends think he is ugly...frankly it hurts my feelings :cry:


And Brett Scallions...personally, I enjoyed the blond hair and the absence of the molestor mustache...so thats what i am gonna show...


Ok ok...one more...Brandon Boyd from Incubus... yummy

[borlis]

147. I can't agree about Nick

but Rob Thomas is really hot. Nothing to be ashamed about.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

113. susanna hoffs from the bangles

massive big 80s hair and all

[mvd]

124. Not embarrassing to me

[Crankie Avalon]

161. Not embarrassing to me, either...

...who didn't think she was hot?

Now thinking the other Bangles were hot, that would be cause for some blushes.

[tjdee]

114. The guy from LazyTown....sigh.

Was flipping through Nickelodeon the other day, and came upon this:
http://www.nickjr.com/playtime/shows/lazytown/video/lazy_nooneslazy.jhtml

His body is just...and his voice (he's from Iceland) is just...wow.

But, it's a bit embarrassing to feel good about liking a guy who lip synchs to "No one's lazy in Lazytown" with a girl with pink hair. Oh dear.

But apparently he's got a lot of gymnast awards, this is what he looks like without the blue hat and moustache...

[lakemonster11]

116. Zeppo Marx.

Not that's it really *embarrassing*---it's just out of left field.

He has gorgeous arms.

[LDS Jock]

120. James McGreevey.. NJ Governor

I think he is a hottie, plus a political figure which is also a turn on. And, turns out, he is gay too. Maybe I'll go to NJ and see if I can snag him.

[RevolutionaryActs]

121. Has anyone said.......

Ann Coulter? :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:


LMAO!

[UdoKier]

123. Apparently school buses.

Bumping up and down on the bus when I was about 12 or so made me ... embarrassed to stand up when we arrived.

[Cadence]

126. I had a sex dream about

Al Roker once that came out of nowhere and made me question what the hell was wrong with me all day long. I don't find him attractive in real life though...in the least... so that may not count.

[SarahB]

127. I had a massive crush on Ed Begley Jr. in my teens.

[Hillaryin08]

128. Tom Petty

He is sosoooooo hot. ^My attraction is totally mental. But I would work him over so hard. I would make man goo of him.

[Polly_Sorbate_60]

129. Bob Odenkirk and David Cross

Yep. Definitely.

[mondo joe]

130. Tina Fey. Only embarassing because I'm a gay man.

But if I liked women she'd be THE ONE.

[smbolisnch]

133. Conan Obrien!

Swoon...........

[another5bdem]

148. Yessssssssssss

So irresistibly pasty!!! :loveya:

[smbolisnch]

165. LOL...When he does that growl thing at the camera

during his monologue.....:loveya:

[Robeson]

135. Martina Navratilova...

...I always thought she was hot!

[Crankie Avalon]

162. WOW!!!!

:crazy: ;)

[CornField]

140. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard & the "Welcome to Fantasy Island" guy

no, not tattoo -- the tall boss guy

[indigobusiness]

141. Hey Crankie, I confess to agreeing... +Rita Rudner

something about 'em. Sincerity amps up the physical attributes...not that it's necessary in Dolly's case. LOL.

ot- Glad I caught your new name. I'm not sure if I told you, but I read 'Gringos' and bought 'The Dog of the South' and 'Masters of Atlantis" which I'll read after recovering from laughing myself sore. What a sense of humor!

[Crankie Avalon]

160. Hey, indigo!

When I changed my name, I thought of sending you and someone else named G_j a pm about it, but stopped from doing it because I wasn't sure you guys would really be all that interested in the info.

I read Gringos for the first time recently, myself. Good stuff, and it just gets better with the other two you're about to read. As good as Gringos is, the other books are much funnier.

And I know what you mean about Rita Rudner. Of course, I seem to be into just about any brunette, even the more mousey ones. I mean, I actually think Mary Steenburgen is sexy (everyone else thinks I'm crazy).

[indigobusiness]

168. Mary Steenburgen is incredibly sexy

She was so fine in Goin' South, with Jack Nicholson. And that movie about the guy that helped Howard Hughes and was mentioned in the disputed will. Can't remember the name, but Mary dances topless in that one, and that's when I became a believer. She is niiiice.

Good to stumble into you. Take care.

[truthbetold]

143. Wesley Clark.

Not that he's unattractive, but uh...he's old enough to be my grandfather.
I'm 18. And oh so ashamed.

[borlis]

144. Steven Tyler

I don't even think he is that cute, but there's just something about him. His mouth is so big, I'd bet he could get a whole hockey puck in it.

[judaspriestess]

149. the cartoon character

the father from new adventures of Johnny quest, his sidekick Jessica.
yeah, her dad!! the army dude!!
Jean luc Picard, gorgeous, um, um lets see who else, Mic Jagger oh hell yeah!! oh and Chris Farley... to name a few

[borlis]

150. Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page....

One of my best friends from college absolutely loved these two. I just couldn't understand why.

[jojo54]

151. I would leave my hubby for....

Sean Connery (licking my lips) David Bowie (he's not beautiful, but he's sexy as hell) Patrick Stewart (bald is truely kind to him) or Michael Biehn (what a profile)!!!

Wait, there's more................:eyes:

[borlis]

152. eewwwwwwwwDavid Bowie?????

He has vampire teeth. But one of my college friends just adored him.

[jojo54]

I think it's his voice

more than the physical. Especially when he sings "China Girl".

[borlis]

153. where's "Big Time"????

How come big dick didn't make this list????

[mvd]

154. All these threads show what..

diverse opinions members have as far as who is attractive. Reading it has been fun, and it's been done in a mature way.

Me, I love celebs from classy Amber Tamblyn and Jennifer Connelly to adorable Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon to overt sex symbols like Alyssa Milano, Salma Hayek and Eliza Dushku to non-sex symbols like Janeane Garofalo.

Another somewhat embarrassing attraction I have: Rose McGowan.

[GingerSnaps]

155. Robert Smith from The Cure

:D

[BiggJawn]

158. Delta Burke...Dolly...Hillary....Emmylou...

Emmylou Harris is pretty hot, too...Mrowr!

[ScreamingMeemie]

159. My 14 year old daughter has a "thing" for Alan Rickman.

She'd kill me (not really) if she knew I just told 50,000 people. ;)

[Crankie Avalon]

163. OK, I just thought of one probably NO ONE ELSE will agree with...

Andrea Mitchell. :crazy:

Sometimes she has skin eruptions on her cheeks that show up even through all the pancake make-up, she has a schnozz where her nose should be, I don't always like her bias, and her mouth is as wide on her face as a frog's...but when she lets out that lopsided grin of hers I actually want to lean over and smooch her if I could.

Also, Katherine Lanpher (Al Franken's sidekick). I see her when Bravo televises Franken's radio show and I think she is adorable. I'm goo-goo about her laugh and also her personality (she would be so fun to tease). Of course, I think a lot of people would find her attractive (or at least a lot more than Andrea Mitchell, anyway), so I guess this last one isn't all that embarrassing.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

169. Gravity. It embarasses Quantum Mechanics, and vice versa.

Yes, I read "The Elegant Universe".

Geeky, ain't I? :crazy:
