Celebrity Crushes
By Heather Webber
I’ve been accused of having a thing for Curtis Stone.
I can’t watch TLC’s “Take Home Chef” without being teased that I’m tuning in to watch my boyyyyfriend.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it were true.
It isn’t.
Sure, Curtis has it all. Tall, blond, nice body, chiseled features, and—and!—an Australian accent. Oh, he can cook. And is willing to go home with you to prove it.
I watch his show because it’s a cute premise, not to watch him. I’ve got a friend who’s gaga for Curtis. But not me. I can’t quite pinpoint why. He’s just not my type.
Which begs the question, What is my type?
Honestly? I have no clue.
Intelligence is a must. Great with kids (for me there’s nothing sexier than a dad who adores his kids). Loyal, fun, funny, kind, quirky, strong, talented, and good looks help. Then there’s the indefinable—that special something that makes a heart sit up and take notice. For me, the attraction is either there or it isn’t. There’s no in-between.
Not many men meet my high standards—I can count them on one hand (and have fingers to spare). Truth is, I don’t have many celeb crushes because I’m spoiled—there really isn’t a better man than the one I have at home. (Insert awwww here.)
Who are your celebrity crushes? And does your significant other know who they are (and tease you unmercifully)?
I’ll start: Okay, it’s not a full-fledged crush, because I don’t know enough about him, but as a Red Sox fan, right now I’ve taken a shine to Jacoby Ellsbury, outfielder for the team (he can hit, run like the wind, field [most of the time] and is adorable while doing it). I have to wonder if there’s Red Sox fan out there who doesn’t like him (though maybe for different reasons).
So why Jacoby (and no, I am not old enough to be his mother) and not Curtis? Like I said—I have no clue. It’s there or it isn’t. As for my other crushes…I’m not going to say. A girl can only take so much teasing.
