Okay. It's been, um, about 18 years since I really had a celebrity crush. Emilio Estevez. I wrote him a fan letter (looking back, I think I may have been a bit creepy about this), wore a picture of him around my locket and once, at a slumber part at Jessica Giffin's house, I think I even pasted a picture of his face I had carefully cut out from Big Bopper on my pillow.
Since then, I have continued my overall affections of celebrities through my hard core addiction to People.com and everything crap that comes via a glossy magazine. And I believe this really is an addiction. I have an embarassingly thorough knowledge of Hollywood, their 2 week long marriages and bizarre children names (Moxie Crimefighter? Pilot Inspektor? Really? And this is coming from a person who had some ecletic barbie doll names, so I am not usually one to judge). In fact, I believe Mother and I can have a 2 hour conversation that to outsiders may resemble us discussing world news, but in fact, we are exchanging tidbits about our favorite celebrity train-wrecks. I knew it might be a problem when at my friend Myrna Sloan's 30th birthday party, i blew everyone else out of the water during the celeb trivia game, resulting one party-goer to comment, "Do you have any outside activities?"
Anyway, I am afraid I have fallen back into 7th grade. I LOVE Chris Martin. Love him. I think he is the most magnificent talented creature on the planet. I loved him the first time I saw the video for Yellow, back when Coldplay was new on the scene. His face was just expressive, it seemed absolutely perfect. And I just downloaded Viva La Vida, and combined with a view of their recent Today Show performance, I am now officially head over heels. I am almost hoping he puts out a "Don't mess with the Zohan" type movie, so like Lin's fallen love for Adam Sandler, I can move on with my life. But for now, I'll just put my itunes on repeat and dream. :)
For the record, I am happily engaged and love the man I am going to marry. But if I was Ross on Friends, and had one of those "celebrity lists," I'd definitely have to put Chris Martin as number one.
Sighness. You think you've come so far...

Goof. E.
remember when you threw a fit at the riverwalk because mom wouldn't drop $25 on a signed emilio picture for you???
I just had time to really check out your blog!!! Very cool! I think it's great that you won my celebrity jeopardy. Knowing useless fact is a true skill. I'm biased since I created the game, but that night was so much fun! You totally rocked
