Who's your celebrity crush?
Last Updated: 21.06.2025 01:26
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
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.

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.

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?
And watch The Petko Dance:
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.

Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
Nicolette Krebitz (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…”).

Wow.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
“Bow down to me”
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
Lovefoxxx
Gotta love her as a person as well.

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
Then the second film, where she was 15:
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).
Why is Tiananmen Square censored?
I had to google pictures.
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.
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.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
Um, yeah …
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
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.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
A force of nature.
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 ;-)
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
(Meike Droste, 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.
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
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 ;-)
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
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.
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
(more recent)
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
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.
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
Sinéad O’ Connor
Brody Dalle:
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
Just watch a few seconds here:
Starting with: Sara Quin.
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.”
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Shirley Manson
Cat Deeley
This video:
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
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 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.
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. …
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Carolyn Lilipaly
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?
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.
Incredibly pretty.
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.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
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.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
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.
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
(Paula Beer, 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:
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
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.
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).
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.
Zia McCabe
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
Still so pretty:
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Those were all as a teenager.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
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.
(MTV days)
(from 30:40 on)
Abi Tucker
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
Edina Gangl (water polo):
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
Karen O
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
Vanessa Paradis
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
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.
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
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 ;-)
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
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!
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
Some examples:
Kim Deal
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
And Justine Frischmann:
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.
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
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.
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.
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
