Celebrity Lists

We’ve all had the conversation about “the list”. You know the celebrity list. That magical register of names that, if the situation arose, would grant you an automatic out of your relationship. I, unfortunately, don’t play that game with WonderWife™ anymore. Living in Los Angeles, there are actually opportunities to meet into your celebrity crushes.

A few years ago, I woke up after a vividly erotic dream about Eliza Dushku. Having the kind of relationship with my wife that I do, I told her about the ribald dream. She smiled and patted me on the arm in that half-patronizing way of hers that basically said, "That's nice honey. Keep dreaming."

Two nights later, I was walking out of a party and saw a colleague of mine. He was with a few other people.

“Hey, meet my friend,” he said gesturing to the woman next to him.

“Hi, I’m Eliza,” the familiar looking brunette said, shaking my hand.

After relaying this story to WonderWife™, she decided that we would not be making any formal agreements about our celebrity lists.

So…Who’s on your celebrity list?

I've got: Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslett, Jessica Biel and Kelly Monaco.

Hmmm...

Angelina Jolie
Hugh Jackman
Dr. McSteamy
Tom Hanks
Robert Pattinson

Weird, huh?

DGB said...

I don't think that's weird. Variety is key.

I don't know why I didn't put Angelina on my list.

Ian Newbold said...

Oh, that list. I've had this conversation with a few women lately, almost comparing who men go for over women. My list changes all the time, but here are a few of the regulars;

Britney
Liz Hurley
Megan Fox
Rachel Weisz
Martine McCutcheon
Kelly Brook

Amber said...

Hugh Jackman
Ryan Reynolds
Tommy Flanagan
Angelina Jolie
Orlando Bloom
Diane Lane
I wonder if these celebs have heard all the pick up lines I plan to use?

TentCamper said...

well, we don't make any agreements, but if we did...I know that it would have to be people that we BOTH had crushes on.

I like sharing!

I live in LA too and see 'celebs' all the time. I gets a bit old sometimes.

BTW - DGB - we should go for a beer some day!

DGB said...

Mr Camper....That would be awesome.

I still love to see celebs. I don't know why I find it fascinating, but I do.

chocdrop said...

Angelina Jolie
Gina Gershan
Matthew Mcconnahey
Colin Ferrel

Lady Mama said...

I had a vividly erotic dream about Tom Selleck a while back but he's not on the list...

We haven't had the conversation, hubby and I, but on my list would be:

Collin Farrell
Daniel Craig
Christian Bale

Captain Dumbass said...

Ah, the list. Mine change all the time, but today's would be:

Stana Katic - Castle
Yvonne Strahovski - Chuck
Olivia Wilde - House (13)
Lisa Edelstein - House (there's just something about Dr. Cuddy, must be those skirts)
Evangeline Lilly - Lost
Jennifer Aniston - from back in the early days of Friends when she still had some meat on her bones

Meh, that's good for now.

I've got Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslett, Jessica Biel and Kelly Monaco.

Sandi said...

I have never made a list.....should I? haha

Mocha Dad said...

Halle Berry
Jessical Alba

LiteralDan said...

My list is a constantly evolving animal, but when put on the spot, I suppose I'd say:

Diane Lane
Aishwarya Rai
Ginnifer Goodwin
Paz Vega
Elle MacPherson

Damn, I just looked at your list again, and I have to also add Kate Winslet, but she'd probably actually be on my Backup Marriage list instead.

LiteralDan said...

Wait, I just caught Captain Dumbass' comment... is it to late to add Olivia Wilde and Evangeline Lilly to my list?

How about Evangeline could be on my Bench list? In case one of my starters dies or gets horribly disfigured or becomes very annoying or something.

DGB said...

Oh, Evangeline Lilly is a strong, strong contender.

Greta...are you saying that you and I have the same list?

{{ d a n i m o }} said...

you are officially being stripped of your title as "geek" for not stammering and finally awkwardly blurting out, "one time in my dreams we made fucky fucky!" ;)

pretty impressive that a celebrity actually approached you though. yes, i know i'm talking about them like they're not real people; it's just that i live in los angeles too and whenever i catch a glimpse of celeb i've actually heard of and/or care about, if anyone does the approaching, it's me. :P

Not a soccer mom said...

That is pretty odd that you met her just days after the dream.

I have a list way too long for this comment box. But have always been so amazed with Tom Hanks.
Hugh Jackman is so very personable.
And I would love to cook for chef Ramsey

Susan said...

I SWEAR I've never been into making a list like this... but recently I LOVE Adam from American Idol (yeah, I know sad I watch it...) and OH, the fact he's 110% GAY just devestates me.

UGH. My husband is disgusted with me. Yet, it is just a fad that shall pass.

As for my husband - Fergie. Mmmm... I'd share.
