Who's your celebrity crush?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 01:00
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.
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
What do you do to make yourself sleep early?
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.

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.
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
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 ;-)
How can AI chatgpt be bypassed?
Incredibly pretty.
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).
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Cat Deeley
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.
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.
Sinéad O’ Connor
Karen O
How do I convince my husband that a threesome is okay?
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).
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.
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
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.

(more recent)
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
What pleasure do guys get by sucking female breasts?
Still so pretty:
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Some examples:
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
And watch The Petko Dance:
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
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.
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
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.
Those were all as a teenager.
Just watch a few seconds 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 ;-)
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
Then the second film, where she was 15:
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
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!
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
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.
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.
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
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.”

Shirley Manson
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:
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
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…”).
(Meike Droste, German actress)
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
(from 30:40 on)
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
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.
Carolyn Lilipaly
Brody Dalle:
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Wow.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
Vanessa Paradis
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
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.
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
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?
(MTV days)
I had to google pictures.
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 ;-)
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
Liv Lisa Fries, 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.
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.
Lovefoxxx
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.
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
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.
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Um, yeah …
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
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.
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.
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. …
Zia McCabe
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.
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Kim Deal
And Justine Frischmann:
“Bow down to me”
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
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.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
