The Hot List – revisited

Some of you may remember a previous blog post in which I listed my top 5 celeb-crushes (as well as a few more who I couldn’t bear to leave out). Being of the eternally fickle female persuasuion, I feel the time has come to update and ammend that list to reflect my current mood, and to acknowledge the general Summery freshness that is currently happening on the wrong side of my window. The unadulterated excitement of wearing unsheathed legs and toe-nail polish has gotten to me, evidently.

I’m sure if I put my mind to it (which I would happily), I could create a constantly shifting league table like those cheeky slappers at the Observer Woman do. But these mere 10 cherry-picked from past and present will have to do for now...


1. Robert Pattinson.
Me and the entire female tween population of the world. There’s just not enough Robert Pattinson to go around.



2. Justin Long
First came to my attention in the brilliant TV series “Ed”. Way up on the geek-o-meter (which can only be a good thing in my book).



3. Ed from “Ed”.
While we’re at it.



3. Friendly Fires
Make me want to jump in the pool.



4. Jason Bateman
Cute, puckish, slightly dishevelled, likes scarves - my ideal man.



5. Stephen Mangan
A face for comedy (especially the eyebrows). Outrageously hilarious as Guy in Green Wing.



6. Chris in the Morning
I wish I could wake up to Chris’ Cali drawl on Radio K-Bear every morning.



7. Aladdin.
Again with the eyebrows. The full extent of my geekiness is revealed.



8. Bernard Fanning from Powderfinger
Charisma personified.



9. Bob Dylan
No wonder he had women falling at his feet back in the day.



10. Ben Wishaw
Can’t wait for Bright Star.
