Hot or Not Top Five Edition

This afternoon I was taking edits for a project downstairs. There were about five people crowded around our production designer’s computer arguing about something. When I got a little closer I realized that the argument was whether or not Selma Hayek is hot. They were all presenting their list of top five celebrity crushes. They asked me who was on my list and I said, “Christian Bale.” They all agreed and then asked me who else. Nothing. No one came to mind. I’ve loved Christian Bale my whole life…well, since 1994 when Little Women came out.

They sent me back to my desk to think about it for a while. After enlisting the help of a few friends, Shaylee, Taylor, and Ashlee, 90 minutes later I returned to the basement list in hand.

1. Christian Bale


2. Patrick Dempsey


3. Luke Wilson


4. Matthew McConaughey


5. Richard Gere/ Matt Damon


Yes, I realize that my number five is cheating, but I struggle with making decisions. It’s a big deal for me to commit to just six. In fact…I also picked a number one musician and athlete: John Mayer and Kyle Korver. So tell me, who’s in your top five?

Here are a few snippets from my hilarious conversation with the girls earlier today…which I am including for Tan, EBC, Moni, and Coco:

Shaylee: hmmm....I will have to think
me: Tay I think you missed the question...
Shaylee: give me a couple to get my brain going
Taylor: huh?
me: Who are your top 5 celebrity crushes?

Hugh Grant
Shaylee: ooo..he is definitely in my top five
me: Hugh Jackman
Shaylee: Christian Bale
me: Yes...He is my number one and I can't think of anyone else. To add to my list.
Taylor: Johnathan Taylor Thomas

Shaylee: I didn't put steve nash in there because I know it's just a "Strange Attraction"

Shaylee: I know..it's a weird thing

me: Oh my heck I know who my number 5 is
Richard Gere.
Shaylee: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BOO, BOO, BOO!
Don't even think about putting Richard Bear on your top five.
me: it's done.

Shaylee: that is a disgrace to mankind
