Which celebs are currently on your Top 5 (the list of people with whom you’d happily have relations — even if it required you making a large donation to their favorite charity)? And which star once made the list and, unfortunately, your friends will never let you forget it?
Here’s why I’m asking: I’ve been without a Top 5 for awhile now, and it’s starting to worry me. Some people may call it maturity; I call it boring. I liked having people who got me giddy on sight. Who’d enter the countdown "with a bullet." Who I’d tell friends could randomly propose marriage to me on the street Jon Stewart, and I’d respond "Sure, I’ll give that a go" and mean it.
So please, share your current Top 5s, and maybe I’ll get inspired. Also, confess those crushes that never should have been — just because it’ll make me (whose friends love to remind her that Adrien Brody reportedly goes by the name A. Ranger when he produces hip-hop beats) smile.

I loved Steven Tyler of Aerosmith in seventh grade…and now he just frightens me…Also, Jared Leto has really fallen, he used to be my number one but with his horrid band and faux-goth look he has fallen off the list
Crucify me, if you will, but you asked, and in no particular order:
Backstreet Boys (still kickin’ it, inspite of Jive releasing Brit this week – yeah, some of us don’t forget!); Stephen Colbert
Jon Hamm (how sweet is he on Mad Men?)
Tina Fey
Neil Patrick Harris (awe… wait for it, wait for it… some)
(connect all those together, I dare ya!)
1) Andy Samberg
2) Seth Rogen
3) Casey Affleck
4) David Beckham
5) Cole Hauser
My friends are baffled by Samberg and Rogen, but I would gladly get to know either of them biblically.
My top 5 still are Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ryan Phillippe, Zac Efron, and Paul Walker.
I can’t believe I was ever into Nick Lachey, Nick Carter, Collin Farrell, Jake Gyllenhaal, or Brian Austin Green.
ashton kutcher;
christian bale;
ryan gosling;
eminem;
jack black is the one i get made fun of for. but i love him.
I have a top four: 1. Matt Damon, 2. John Krasinski, 3. Paul Walker and 4. Justin Timberlake. I used to be totally in love with Luke Wilson, but he has fallen off the list.
Nicole Kidman
Jennifer Garner
Kristen Bell
Lucy Liu
Heidi Klum
Matt Damon
Christian Bale
Clive Owen
Cillian Murphy
I always get a laugh from my friends about Jason Lee, because all they can picture is Earl. I like to remember him in Mallrats and Amy…
Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman. Keith Urban used to be on the list. (The rest of the spots are taken up by guys that I’m not mentioning here. *g*)
1. Claire Danes (never got over my Angela Chase crush)
2. Kelly Clarkson
3. Natalie Portman
4. Jenna Fischer
5. Keira Knightley
I was a huge Britney Spears defender for the longest time. I was so in love with her, but towards the start of the Federline era, I bid her adieu. My friends like to remind me a lot though of that time.
So easy:
1. Milo Ventimiglia
2. Adam Brody
3. Zachary Levi
4. Adam Levine
5. Zachary Quinto
I used to have a top 10…that I actually posted in my dorm room. My friends will never let me forget that Dexter Holland (from The Offspring) at one point topped that list. Will Smith was number 2, and I would say he’s still definitely top 5 all these years later. Also: Jeremy Piven, Patrick Dempsey, and Justin Timberlake. Not sure who else.
Newbies: Vanessa Ferlito (she looks a lot like my wife), Eva Longoria (ditto), Sofia Vergarra (Knights of Prosperity), Gina Torres (She’ll always be my Wonder Woman), Tina Fey (she seems like she’d be a really fun girlfriend, especially in NYC).
Formers: Brooke Shields was my first crush, and Jane Fonda (thanks to Barbarella) was another one. Shields lost her spot once she (and I) got older. Fonda lost her spot once I realized Barbarella had been made in the 1960s…
Classic Cougars: Carolyn Monroe (Starcrash), Erin Grey (Buck Rogers), Jennifer Runyon (Charles in Charge), Pam Grier (Foxie Brown) and Diane Lane (Streets of Fire) are my “Classic” crushes from childhood. Per recent photos on IMDB, they’re all still very crush worthy.
Gotta go with:
Clive Owen–Accents make me swoon.
Ryan Gosling–2 words: The Notebook.
Michael Vartan–On here in spite of Big Shots, he’ll always be Vaughn to me.
Mark Ruffalo–A friend and I have a name for his kind of cute–Hot Sloppy.
Justin–’Nuff said.
OK, so mine are:
Christian Bale
Goran Visnjic
Johnny Depp
Ryan Reynolds
Jimmy Fallon (He’s cute! I can’t help it!)
My friends like to make fun of my love for Russell Crowe, and yes, he’s surly and a bit chunky these days, but in Gladiator he was HOT.
1. Brad Pitt – always!
2. Christian Bale
3. Matt Damon
4. George Clooney
5. Brad Pitt
In no particular order:
1) Jenna Fischer
2) Kate Winslet
3) Sacarlett Johanssen
4) Natalie Portman
5) Jennifer Garner
OK, maybe in that order.
1. Uma Thurman – I’ll never kill your baby.
2. Natalie Portman – Let’s get Closer.
3. Nicole Kidman – I’ll invade you anytime, anywhere.
4. Eva Green – I’ll be your Bond, James Bond.
5. Beyonce – that body so booty-licious, baby!
Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Eliza Dushku, Angelina Jolie (circa the non-crack whore skinny years), and Kevin Smith.
Of course, friends never understand Kevin, but he’s a funny mofo, so that more than makes up for what he’s lacking in the bod department.
1.) Wentworth Miller
2.) James Tupper
3.) Hugh Laurie
4.)David Boreanaz
1. Christian Bale
2. Michael Clarke Duncan
3. Duane “the Rock” Johnson

5. rotates between Sean Connery, Bruce Willis & Edward Burns.

Zach Braff
Stephen Colbert
Trevor Eve (look him up – Brit actor)
Alton Brown
Eclectic is my middle name!
Johnny Depp
Edward Norton
Steve Buscemi (I Know)
Gary Oldman
Ryan Gosling
1.) Taylor Hanson – I guess I’m still 13 on the inside..
2.) Wentworth Miller – preferably if he’s acting like Michael Scofield.
3.) Adrien Brody – he just seems so painfully smart and artsy
4.) Jason Lee – circa Mall Rats
5.) Jared Leto – despite his recent appearance

Current top seven, in no particular order, because I can’t limit it to five:
1. Ryan Adams – I know he’s a mess, but still. See his Gap ad with Willie Nelson, around the 17 second-mark.
2. Jason Flemyng – Have you seen “The Red Violin?” Oh my word…
3. Adrien Brody – See the movie “Liberty Heights”
4. Joaquin Phoenix – Just yum.
5. Jared Leto – Now, not the “My So-Called Life” era… see the video for “The Kill.”
6. Davey Havok – See the “Leaving Song Part II” video.
