Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Shirley Manson
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. …
Vanessa Paradis
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):
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
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.
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
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.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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:
(from 30:40 on)
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Have you ever had sex with your female cousin? How did it start?
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
How do you fight the push and pull (manipulation) tactic if you want to win him?
(more recent)
Um, yeah …
Brody Dalle:
Do countries with free health care generally have co-pays or deductibles to discourage use?
A force of nature.
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
Those were all as a teenager.

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
This video:
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.
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.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.

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.
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.
Zia McCabe
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.
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
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.
And Justine Frischmann:
How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?
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.
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
Some examples:
Sinéad O’ Connor
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.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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!
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
Cat Deeley
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…”).
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Wow.
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
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.
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.”
(Meike Droste, German actress)
I had to google pictures.
Carolyn Lilipaly
Lovefoxxx
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.
(MTV days)
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
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 ;-)
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
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.
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
“Bow down to me”
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
(Paula Beer, German actress)
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
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.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
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.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
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.
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
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.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
Abi Tucker
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
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 ;-)
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
And watch The Petko Dance:
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Karen O
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
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 ;-)
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Then the second film, where she was 15:
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.
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).
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Incredibly pretty.
Kim Deal
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
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?
Just watch a few seconds here:
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.
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
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.
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.
Still so pretty:
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
