the other night we were chatting with pals trying to figure out and confess our best celebrity crushes. here are my confessions (RANDOM post, haha…) they’ve been (mostly) pre-approved my Mr. Larson too.. in case you were curious. Enjoy!
brad goreski. he’s such a cute stylist man. who can resist getting a crush with so many bow ties being worn? bow ties melt me! i’m also thankful that i have a husband-to-be that will watch Rachel Zoe with me. he’s a keeper!
(omg. i love this video! watch it if you haven’t. it’s worth it! seen via IAMPHOTOGRAPH)
the be-a-utiful mr. jason schwatzman. who doesn’t love him? i think the first time i saw him was in Rushmore and so we’ve been in love for many many years. 🙂
Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. If you’ve been reading my blog for a little while you might already know that Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots is my favorite album of all time. I’m very attracted to talented people plus being extremely hard working, inventive and relentless about creative work… i die.
My crush was only magnified when I saw his home on Apartment Therapy this past year (it was one one of my 10 things lists…) and he has the coolest lady ever! Wayne Coyne, I love you… the end.
I have more, but those are the first that came to mind. I need to photograph a D.I.Y. for you (it’s cuteee and it’s a collab with Twinkie Chan! hint-hint). So, who are your random celebrity crushes? Give me the embarrassing ones, not just the obvious dudes…. Lovies! Elsie

It’s funny how our celebrity crushes often resembles our real life true loves (at the very least in appearance) 🙂
What about a movie character crush?! I have a crush on Donnie Darko, though I don’t have a crush on Jake Gyllenhaal. Is that weird?? 🙂
xo Julie
Jason Schwarzman in so cute! Justin Long is on my list 🙂
Oh, so with you here, especially on Jason Schwarzman! Swoon. I also have crushes on Demetri Martin and Conan – I love nerdy, funny guys.
basically anyone with a majestic nose (you can imagine how much i enjoyed the darjeeling limited…), and super awkward people, too, like michael cera. oh and neil de grasse tyson. i am trying to think of someone embarrassing but i can’t.
I loveeeee Jesse Eisenberg. I saw him on Conan’s new show on TBS and oh my gosh, he is so amazingly awkward in person. He’s wonderful. =] Plus, he has been in amazing movies.
That iPad viedo was freaking hilarious, by the way.
My first crush was Shaun Cassidy, I cut out every picture I could find of him and made a scrapbook of him I was maybe 10 or 11 at the time. I came home from school one day to find a picture of him on the kitchen table my mom had cut out of the paper for me, it was his wedding picture and needless to say I started crying and my mom said did you think you were going to marry him and very seriously I looked at her and said I did and I believed that I was nobody loved him like I did! Oh to be that young again!
Jason Schwartzman is adorable!
jason schwartzman, james franco and jason segal are adorable
leigh
Conan O’brien. No lie. It’s a little embarrassing but I just think he is adorable. 🙂
LOVE Jason Schwartzman! Did you know he has a band?! Coconut Records. Listen to it. Love it. All the songs are just happy, poppy, loveliness!
I love Brad Goreski too!! When he wore those boxers and asked Rachel if he looked hot! So cute! I have a mini crush on Adam Brody! Micheal Cera is a really good one too!
Yay for Jason Schwartzman fans!
Also to the person who put Demetri, I’m with you on that one!
I have obvious ones (ie – Johnny Depp), but the not obvious that I have are: John Oliver & Charlie Day.
I have a huge crush on Stephen Colbert!!!
xoxo~Meg
i agree with the last two for sure!:)
Um, I’d totally kiss Steve Buschemi, snaggle tooth and all! Something about him makes me swoon! And him in Boardwalk Empire? Phew!
I totally met Jason Schwartzman in Versailles when they were filming Marie Antoinette! He was so nice and super friendly and came and took a few pictures with us and chatted. I was impressed.
David Tennant. Yes, I do the obvious and watch “Doctor Who” endlessly, but, “Hamlet”…..yeah, a little culture never hurt anyone.
I have the biggest crush on Anderson Cooper! His smile melts my heart.
I will watch any disaster special, 60 minutes with him on it.
I also adore Ryan Kwanten, on True Blood. His innocence makes me want to put him in my pocket and take him home.
ethan hawke. he has written beautiful books :] he’s had my heart since “reality bites”!
Tom Selleck.
pffft, Ewan McGregor, OBVIOUSLY. 😉
I always thought Mr. Larson LOOKS like Mr. Schwartzman! Haa haa!
i so agree about the movie-character crush!
mr. tom hanson (from “500 days of summer”) totally makes me swoon. although his real-life counterpart, mr. joseph gordon levitt, isn’t so shabby either.
and of course lloyd dobler — less john cusack.
<3
*xo...
Zachary Levi! He’s so cute and dorky on “Chuck” and in real life. I heart the nerd! lol
Jimmy Fallon. Cute and funny!
oh man! this post is the best!! i have a HUGE HUGE crush on jason dohring. he played logan on veronica mars. he. is. delish. 😉
&robert pattinson. tehe. i think he’s so sexy.. not just because of twilight though.
Oh man, Love BRAD! He is the best. And what is so amazing about him is that he is madly in love with his boyfriend too! soo cute! xo
Steve Buscemi…need I say more!!!
and no I am not joking:)
Sylvester Stallone from Rocky IV…obviously! And only in that movie. That was definitely his peak.
Wayne Coyne, and Jason Schwartzman are definitely on my list. I used to think that Mr. Schwartzman and I were destined to be because he has a dog named Arrow and I used to have a cat named Oblio. My sister met him when she was volunteering for a benefit. So jealous, I am! Scott Walker, Art Garfunkel, Zachary Quinto, Michael Ian Black, David Bowie, Mike Patton, Leonard Cohen and Kate Bush are also on my list.
The young and beautiful Paul Newman and Robert Redford are my favorite men. Mmmmm. Handsome.
I am SOOOOO with you! I want one of these t-shirts so bad!!

My husband does not get why I love Jason so much…that is ok, at least you get it! 🙂
I’ve got an almost unnatural crush on Michael Cera. I feel like a total cougar every time I talk about it/him, but I can’t help it. He’s so darn geeky chic.
jason schwartzman is up there for me too. =) but my favorites are cillian murphy, adrian brody and ben bridwell and luke wilson. =)
I was just thinking yesterday about all the UNconventionally handsome men that I crush on! Conan, Seth Meyers, and Joe Purdy. Joe Purdy may be pushing the UNconventionally handsome limit but he’s worth mentioning anyway…love, love.
Jim Cantori from the weather channel.
Bill Murray.
I love him.
Lost in Translation. Sigh.
x
I have the biggest crush on Earl Hickey from My Name is Earl. Not really a celebrity but I just can’t help it…!
I have a very odd crush on Cal Lightman from lie to me ( his real name escapes me right now) the crush is on the character anyway lol! I also love jack sparrow! Not too fussed about johnny depp though…wierd! X
joaquin phoenix. especially as johnny cash in walk the line. 🙂
I’m also a Jason Schwartzman girl, I love him in Shop Girl and one of my fav shows on tv is Bored to Death.
it’s not really embarrassing, but i have a soft spot for the socially awkward geek-types (think jesse eisenberg, michael cera). foremost among them? definitely matthew gray gubler. he seems like such a weird person (that’s a compliment, btw!), and his artwork is amazing too.
Maybe it’s kinda creepy, but my Hollywood crush is on Kevin Spacey! I just can’t quite figure our what it is about him….
i have an embarrassing old man crush on sean connery. it started with first knight.
Jason is on my list as is Justin Timberlake – I just want to dance when I hear his music. I also have a crush on Adam Brody’s character on OC.
I adore Wayne Coyne too. Other than that Joaquin Pheonix makes my heart sing!
Ooh. I have a major crush on Kevin Spacey. LOVE him. And Edward Norton too. I love a talented man myself… I don’t really go for pretty boys, as you can see. Hehe…I like brooding artsy dudes. I guess cause I’m a brooding artsy gal. :o)
I love Brad!! So stylish and fun.
LOVE Brad Goreski!!!!!!
Tom Selleck….since I was a 4th grader! Bono of U2… that’s it!
Adrian Brody, Matthew Gray Gubler, Sufjan Stevens, and Eddie Redmayne.
And the embarassing one? When I was about 5, I wanted to marry Raphael, the red Ninja Turtle. Oh yeah. Hot. 😉
My younger sister had a huge crush on Steve Erkel when she was little! I still tease her about that!! 😀
I adore Jason Schwartzman!! I’ve been a huge fan of his since Rushmore. I used to love the band he played the drums in too and I got to meet him at one of their concerts! I was like 14 and so nervous and just said “I’m a huge fan of your movies!” and he hugged me. Sighhh
TAYLOR HANSON!
It’s been love for 13 years. Aside from making kick ass music that is the soundtrack to my life, he and his brothers are making a difference in the world.
Before every concert they do a barefoot mile walk and they themselves donate a dollar for every person who shows up.
Read more here http://www.takethewalk.net
*sigh* I <3 him
Lynne
p.s. my husband is so cute and tells me before every concert "have fun, and if you run away with Taylor please take a quick second to call or text me so I don't wait up."
Adorable.
I just wanted to leave a comment thanking you for the Blog Love E-course. I made my first blog post today thanks to your amazing advice! I would love it so much if you ever had time to have a look.
Love, Sarah
P.S. my weird celebrity crush is Sheldon from the IT crowd!
I’d have to go with Josh Gates from Destination Truth.:). I don’t think it’s an embarrassing one though. I also heart Brian “the Beard” Wilson from the SF Giants. *sigh!*
i have quite a few, but some think my crush on woody harrelson is a bit odd. whatevs.
Weirdly, the dad in Medium. Not the actor, the character.
Rick Astley was my first ever crush {age 6}.
I don’t think it gets any more embarrassing than that!
And now I’m with an Englishman…. go figure!
Tim Robbins….why, I don’t know, but he got me in shawshank redemption.
yesss! i love all three 🙂 oohh brad. i wish i were best friends with that guy, i just adore him! 🙂
Yes for Brad. I die. 😉
My hubby will watch Rachel Zoe with me too. We have a great guys. xoxo
My biggest geek crush has to be Ira Glass, from This American Life. I adore everything about him.
Mos Def for sure! First in Hitchhikers guide, then Be kind Rewind. Stylish, classy, accent = triple threat! I also love Alton Brown. Super nerd, plays with toys and loves food. What could be better?
Hi Elsie! We’re definitely on the same page about Sr. Jason. Handsome fella! My embarrassing crush (okay, at least one of them) is Zach from Saved By The Bell! I thought he was soo dreamy when I was 15. hehe I didn’t even know his real name until…just NOW. Mark-Paul Gosselaar. But shh..don’t tell 🙂 While I’m here, can you please give me your email address? I don’t know how to reach you but I have one or two questions for ya. Thanks! Oh, and check out my post about journaling..thanks to you! 🙂
ooh! i second matthew gray gubler too! <3
*xo...
Edward Norton hands down. Also my slightly embarrassing one is Shia Lebeouf….eeep!(runs and hides)
At our house we watch alot of kids shows. I never mind Blue’s Clues though cause Steve is funny and cute in a dorky kids show kind of way. 😛
hmmm….i suppose this is embarrassing…i have the biggest crush on Alan Rickman (i think it’s his voice…)….i also absolutely love Rufus Wainwright and Sam Sparro (too bad they’re both gay…)….and last, but definitely not least, is Zach Galifianakis (also semi-embarrassing and awkward)…
Jon Hamm…Yummy!
I’ve always had a thing for James Franco, ever since he was Daniel Desario in Freaks and Geeks…also, who doesn’t love Conan O’brien!? =]
DAVID TENNANT!! (mostly as The Doctor), Nathan Fillion, and Jason Schwartzman, but isn’t he on every nerdy girl’s list?
This made me super excited because Yoshimi is my favorite TFL album too!!! I listen to it all of the time. Awesome list [=
jason schwartzman, yes, my idol.
and elsie, you are my idol, too.
Michael C. Hall, as Dexter but I’d take either one- killer or not (as weird as that may be).
brad is such a cutie! i always wish he could be my gay best friend. ha.. and i love RZP.
have you seen these:

my #1 celeb crush is JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. husband-approved, as well. 😛
You MUST hit Oklahoma City on Halloween. He decorate to the freakin nines and lets everyone come over to get candy.
This is us with him a couple years back:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lochnessmommy/1812878576/
He’s seriously one of the nicest guys ever.
Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor… he is hot! 🙂
I {heart} these two guys so much…Clark Duke and Zach Galifianakis. Super geeky and totally not the normal hot guys. Maybe I’m a sucker for a good sense of humor. LOL
Good choices! Mine is Ira Glass and George Stephanopoulos! I have a thing for old nerdy white men!
Adrian Brody! I think he’s so sexy! I think it’s his swag! 🙂
Great post! Brad is the best.
I have always had a thing for Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear.
Also, Aladdin. Yup.
Two words:
Ira Glass
So hot!
James McAvoy. Michael Cera. Ones a “MAN” and ones a “man” I know. Omg.
I actually have an entire wall of my work station covered in photos of my favorite guys-it’s known by everyone at work as “The Man Wall” and it gets a makeover every once in a while. Totally in love with the following:
Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Michael Douglas, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Ralph Fiennes. Character crushes-Severus Snape,Remus Lupin,Andy Bernard,and Dwight Schrute.
Thank you tons for posting that video of Mr. Schwartzman. It made my life. How can one not love that guy.
I’m pretty much in love with Adrien Brody.
Also Bob Dylan 45 years ago (if that makes sense).
YUM. Good choices. My Mr. and I have a “get out of jail free” list and on there I’ve included Jason Bateman, Joel McHale, and weirdly, Rob Riggle. I dig the big rig.
Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek) and Tommy Lee are my faves…I am the only person I know with a cardboard standee of Patrick stewart in my scrapbook room.
Ummm…Han Solo. But come on, what’s not to love???
Oh and Stef in Pretty in Pink! That one’s a little odd.
ha ha
xo
i am totally in love with cillian murphy. he looked gorgeous as scarecrow in batman begins & has the greatest irish accent & he’s a vegetarian- perfect, though maybe just a little too skinny..
And a french one Romain Duris. Love him !!
Jason Schwartzman as well!
And Crispin Glover makes me weak at the knees. I think it’s his intelligence and a little bit the creepiness of the characters he plays. Also the guy who plays the new British Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch. So hot in the Victorian inspired get-up!
You’re going to have to thumb wrestle me for mr schwartman!!!
I have a HUGE crush on Conan O’Brien! I can’t get enough of him. I have a thing for the ones that are a little bit on the dorky/nerdy side but are super funny. But I also can’t get enough Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He’s super dreamy.
Corey Haim, Joey McIntyre from NKOTB, Wil Weaton, Ricky Schroder, I can go on and on…then it went to Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor and Anthony Keides. HAHA OMG Now I like Adrien Brody and Jake Gyllenhal. SO dreamy!
I second Joseph Gordon Levitt, specifically the smoothly-dressed version of himself in Inception. When he tricked Ellen Page into kissing him, I said out loud “Oh my god, he’s so smooth.” Out loud. I also love Liam Neeson and Bill Pullman. I have no clue why.
John Mayer (sigh), Jason Mraz 🙂 and Ewan Mcgregor (he had me ever since he sang his first note in Moulin rouge!)
I love jas schwartz! Whatta stellar dude.
I’ve had a crush on Adam Duritz (lead singer of Counting Crows) forever! I think the two are unrelated, but I did marry a cute man who also happens to have dreadlocks. Another embarassing one is Billy Bob Thornton- no explanation 🙂
Also less embarassing crushes would be Joaquin Phoenix, John Cusack, Joesph Gordon Levitt, Jason Segal, Paul Rudd!
Adam Goldberg <3
Most embarassing (my husband thinks I am completely weird for this one): Sam Elliot. Everytime I hear him say “Beef, its whats for dinner” I kinda get butterflies…. 🙂
David Bowie, anyone??
I cannot believe that I left the delectable Ira Glass off of my list!
BRAD FOREVER. also, did you guys know jason schwartzman is in a really good band called Cocount Records?:)
Matty Bomer(Neal caffrey,how doth I FREAKING LOVE YOU!) Zachary Levi(nerdy and adorable,hehehe) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.Yup.Teeeheehehee.
OH and Charles Watson(of Slow Club) and Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons.
My all time geeky, longest and most obsessive crush I’ve had since I was in 3rd grade and still have is Mark Hamill. I so love him.
James McAvoy I’ve had a crush on him every since I first saw him in Children of Dune, joaquin phoenix, and of course Brad Pitt!
LOL – I agree with one of the commenters above…Michael Cera. I am like 10 years older than him, but he reminds me of a guy I was completely in love with in high school and watching his cutey-cuteness in movies makes me nostalgic.
Also obsessed with Ira Glass who hosts This American Life. I love his voice, sense of humor and adorable dark framed glasses. So cute!
damn skippy brad goreski is a keepa!!! (((hugs))) my friend 😉
ah, wayne. and now i have a crush on his home as well. 🙂
Adrian Brody for sure but for years when I was in high school I was crazy about Ethan Embry in Empire Records. He was sooo quirky and cute!
i still have a big thing for joshua jackson, a teenage crush that never went away.
other than that, george clooney, dave grohl & johnny borrell.
It’s a close drawn between Matt Smith and David Tennant (Both play/ed Doctor Who)
John Cusack or John Hannah – Both are technically old enough to be my Dad but there is something about them both!
I think it’s safe to say I have an odd taste for large, hairy men…Jorge Garcia (from Lost), and Hagrid from Harry Potter. Just the character, not the real life actor who is way less hairy. 🙂 Although I also like brooding and funny men: Adam Sandler, Joaquin Phoenix, and Mark Ruffalo – I LOVE him in 13 Going on 30. Go ahead and laugh at my list, but I love them all <3
Colin Firth
