Who's your celebrity crush?
11.06.2025 00:06
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.
Carolyn Lilipaly
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).
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
(more recent)
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
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.
A force of nature.
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…”).

Brody Dalle:

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.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Um, yeah …

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.
Cat Deeley
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.

“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Are you afraid to get married and why?
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
And watch The Petko Dance:
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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.
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

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.”
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
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.
What are the ten cars that make me no longer feel inferior?
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 ;-)
“Bow down to me”
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Some examples:
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
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.
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.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
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.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
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).
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 ;-)
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.
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.
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.
(Meike Droste, German actress)
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
This video:
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
Karen O
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
Shirley Manson
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
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.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
Wow.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
And Justine Frischmann:
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
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.
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
Still so pretty:
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 ;-)
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.
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
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.
Vanessa Paradis
Abi Tucker
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
“I’ll feed your obsession”
(Paula Beer, German actress)
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Kim Deal
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Those were all as a teenager.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Sinéad O’ Connor
Just watch a few seconds here:
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. …
(from 30:40 on)
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Lovefoxxx
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
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.
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
I had to google pictures.
Zia McCabe
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Incredibly pretty.
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.
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.
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 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?
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
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:
(MTV days)
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Liv Lisa Fries, 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.
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
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.
