Who's your celebrity crush?
Last Updated: 18.06.2025 04:25
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
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.
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
How short is too short for a skirt?
Lovefoxxx
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
(from 30:40 on)
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
Renault CEO and architect of Alpine F1 project stepping down - The Race
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Incredibly pretty.
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.
And watch The Petko Dance:
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.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
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 ;-)
Um, yeah …
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Abi Tucker
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…”).
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
Wow.
Why is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
Does Taylor Swift actually play the guitar, or is it a prop?
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Karen O
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.
What makes you feel guilty the most?
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:
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.
Sinéad O’ Connor
Kim Deal
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
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.
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.
I had to google pictures.
Vanessa Paradis
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Those were all as a teenager.
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
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).
Shirley Manson
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
Cat Deeley
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
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.
This video:
Some examples:
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
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.
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.
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
Wanda Perdelwitz, 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?
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.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
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 ;-)
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
And Justine Frischmann:
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Zia McCabe
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Brody Dalle:
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
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.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
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 ;-)
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.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Gotta love her as a person as well.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
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).
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
(MTV days)
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
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 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.”
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
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.
Still so pretty:
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.
(Meike Droste, German actress)
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 after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
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.
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
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.
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.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
Carolyn Lilipaly
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
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!
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
(more recent)
A force of nature.
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
“Bow down to me”
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
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.
Just watch a few seconds here:
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.
