Secret Inappropriate Crushes

So, I'm sitting in my office listening to All Summer Long by Kid Rock from his most recent album Rock-n-Roll Jesus. Here's my secret. There's something about Kid Rock to me. OK, I know, he's a ho. He dates and inappropriately marries women named Pamela who have the Hep. And yet, I kind of dig him. Now sure, part of it is I really do very much enjoy his music, even though I'll agree with pretty much anyone who says he's a misogynistic idiot. And yet, if I hear Bawitidaba on the radio, you can count on the fact that I'm cranking it up and singing along. Like wise Cowboy. I'm not proud of it. But secretly, I have kind of a crush on him.

Please, please make me feel better. Who do you have a secret crush on?? I promise. I won't tell anyone.

Inappropriate secret crush #1 Zac Efron. I like men so this makes no sense. But for me it's all about the eyes and his just jump out at me.
Secret music crush, Meatloaf. I love his music and he's not looking too bad in that new Go Phone commercial.

As for Kid Rock, I'm with you, Kati. His music gets blared on my radio too.

MaryKate said...

Thank you, Julie! I already feel better. You're good like that. :wink:

Sarai said...

Okay seriously DON'T LAUGHT cause it's not funny But Elton John What? seriously WHAT?
I love that man's music and back in the day when he took care of himself he was HAWT back off *growls*
There I hope you feel better *crosses arms*

Dev said...

Gordon Ramsay. Love him!

Heather said...

I'll second your crush on Kid - there's something about a skinny guy, b/c I've also had crushes on Tom Petty and Mick Jaggar. What? But then I also have a thing for big guys b/c I crush on Michael Jordan, Charles Barklay, LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool J!) and um, John Kruck from the '94 Phillies? Oh god, he was so out of shape and awesome.

Julie in Ohio, I laughed out loud at Meatloaf. Awesome!

Julie in Ohio said...

Like I'm the only one who thought Meatloaf was in the wrong car with the wrong girl when "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" comes on....

MaryKate said...

Ehem...right Jules.

LeeAnn said...

LOL is it wrong that I had to look up Meatloaf?

OK I have one but you have to promise to let me live it down…ok you promise… Larry the Cable Guy. I know, I know I’m not saying he’s hot but there is something about him that I just like :o)

As far as music wise I LOVE Michael Jackson (not in looks ewww)!!! Whenever “Billy Jean” comes on I crank up the radio so I can’t hear myself sing lol :o)

Carolyn Jean said...

Oh, hell, I love Kid Rock, too! And you know, I became somewhat familiar with his politics at one point and it is amazing I still like him. Even more amazing Pamela Anderson went for him. But yeah...Cowboy.

Oh, JULIE! Meatloaf! But didn't Patti Smith date him? Did she marry him? She's super HOT!

Tracy said...

You had to look up Meatloaf? OMG I feel so OLD! lol

Alright mine is Wentworth Miller. Don't know what it is about that guy but he is hot, hot, hot to me! Especially with that skullcap - holy criminy!

MaryKate said...

Tracy - I'm not sure Wentworth counts. He's ACTUALLY hot.

Now, if you'd said Woody Allen, that would have been a secret crush. :wink:

Julie in Ohio said...

There is something sexy about funny. Although Woody and Larry don't do it for me, there was a time when Bill Murray and Steve Martin did and Adam Sandler does.

Katie(babs) said...

I stand by my original crush I have had since I was 12 years old!
Joe Mcintyre from NKOTB!

Zac Efron is a cutie also. I am such a dirty old lady.

MaryKate said...

Julie, my BF Amy thinks that Ben Stiller is hot. Me? Not so much, but I think it's the funny with him too.

Although I shouldn't speak for Amy, sooner or later she'll show up.

Kim said...

Craig Ferguson- It's the Scottish accent....don't judge me...LOL

Amy said...

I better chime in now...
Okay first things first - Kid Rock - yucky. Now you are going to tell me you like Tommy Lee or Adam Durwitz (Counting Crows).

I wholeheartedly agree with Zac. I wish I was 14 again just so I could put his picture on my wall or the back of my closet.

Can't think of many that you all might think are yucky but perhaps more strange so here goes... Anthony Hopkins (but not Silence of the Lambs version), Steve Martin, Billy Crystal, Roy Williams (just so I could be closer to Carolina basketball), Huey Lewis (not the News), and John Stamos (not from Full House but from GH).

Finally, don't be mean about Ben Stiller.

MaryKate said...

Mean! You yukked my Kid Rock!

Although, several of my friends here at the office did too. So, I guess I should expect it. I don't care, I love his music, and yes, he has stringy hair and looks like he needs to be hosed down (and not in a David Beckham kind of way), but whatever. I still love him.

Ame, isn't Roy Williams about 150 years old?? It's the Caroline Blue tie. It's blinded you.

And John Stamos's mullet in the Full House days was SMOKIN'HAWT! Business in the front, party in the back, my friend.

LeeAnn said...

I think Adam Sandler is Hot and so are Tommy Lee & Dave Navaro.

I love Kid Rocks music but I just can’t find him attractive. I think it’s the hair. He always (imo) looks dirty and not in a good way.

lauren said...

Kati. I'm sorry. I can't make you feel better. I'm so grossed out! There are a million cute guys out there. Please tell me you'll move on!

MaryKate said...

Lauren! Aren't you s'posed to be studying or something???

Oh wait.

OK, OK, so it's not so much that I'd like to get naked with Kid Rock (I just threw up a little in my mouth). It's more that I just really love his music. Yes, it's a little low rent. But still I love him.

Buffie said...

MK -- come on now, you know it is all because of the tatt :)

Maybe it's because my brain if fried from working today, but I seriously can't think of anyone I have an inappropriate crush on. I think all my crushes are TOTALLY appropriate ;)

Tracy said...

So we can only have a secret crush on someone who's not actually hot? It's all personal preference!

Dave Navarro - love him...except when he wears the fur - that I could do without!

OK, OK, so it's not so much that I'd like to get naked with Kid Rock (I just threw up a little in my mouth).
MK - thank you so much. I was having a crappy day and this made me laugh so hard!

Katie(babs) said...

I find William Peterson from CSI to be hot and he is close to social security age. Yum...

Shannon said...

Well, a couple of my inappropriate crushes have become more appropriate over time.

The Rock. I hated to admit back in the day that I loves him. I never watched wrestling, yet I still loved him. Now that he is Dwayne Johnson? Guh!

Half the time I can't figure out why I think Edward Norton is so hot. He can look like Mr. Average Joe. Then he starts acting and I am draw to him. God, he has charisma.

My age inapproriate crush is the kid who played Oliver Wood in the first Harry potter movie. Mmmm... young hottie.

Stacy~ said...

Kid Rock? Nope, not so much. Like LeeAnn said, he looks dirty but not in a good way.

Mine is Adam Sandler, especially from "The Wedding Singer". And though William Petersen is in his 50's, he's still hot. Oh yeah, Craig Ferguson. Now I bet he's kinky. And I totally get the appeal of Larry the Cable Guy too. It is so nice not to be alone in this...

Shannon said...

Oh! Vincent D'Onofrio. He's a big squishy teddy bear that I just want to squeeze. :)

Katie(babs) said...

SHANNON!! I love Vincent also.
I drool every time I watch L&O: CI!

Shannon said...

heehee! Yet more proof that we are twins seperated at birth. :)

Katie(babs) said...

And I wear reading glasses! :D
See Shannon, soul mates, I tell yah.

Shannon said...

Oooh! Stanley Tucci. Why do I like him so?

Katie(babs) said...

Does anyone think Kevin Spacey is sexy? I do :D

Shannon said...

I did until I heard the rumor that Colin Farrell got his start in Hollywood on Kevin Spacey's casting couch.

Shannon said...

Oh My God!

If any of you are watching SYTYCD, I now have a completely inappropriate crush on Joshua. Oh my. Those pants. Those hip swivels. Damn!

Bridget Locke said...

I'm trying to think of one and am brainfarting. I guess I'd say Shia Labuff (I know that's not how it's spelled, but I'm too lazy to go look). He was in Transformers and stuff. He was such a geek on Even Stevens, but what a hottie now. I guess I feel like I'm totally robbing the cradle cuz I'm at least 10 years older than him. :)

ev said...

Love Dave Navarro- it's the nipple rings. It has to be.

Slash and Paul Crook, lead guitarist for Meat Loaf. (2 words guys, not the one in the oven.) I love Meat too. He just puts on one hell of a show. Paul is my screen saver. And Slash without a shirt is absolutely to die for. There isn't an ounce of fat on him- it's all muscle!

My Heather is all about Craig Ferguson- we will see him in Oct.

I like Kid Rock myself. And Tommy Lee. What is it about Pam's castoffs?? And who gave who the Hep??

MaryKate said...

ev - Pam accused Tommy Lee of giving her the Hep. She even sued him over it. But I guess she's moved on because they are back together AGAIN.

LeeAnn said...

Stacy great minds think alike :o)

PJ said...

150 years old???? Geez, MK, crush me! Roy Williams is only ONE YEAR OLDER than I am!

MaryKate said...

Yeah, but PJ, look how fabulous YOU look, my darlin'. Roy? Not so much.

PJ said...

LOL! Nice save. :)

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

Yeah, there's something about the Kid, all right.

meghant said...

Yeah, I don't get the Kid Rock thing....but who am I to say anything. I have a huge crush on Dave Navarro. He's a super hottie.

Sarai said...

OMG shannon me too loved some Oliver Wood in HP moive and felt so bad for it *g* He is sadly my favorite character out of that whole series and he's in like 40 pages total LOL

Shannon said...

My best friend made sure to point out that the actor was actually legal when they filmed the movie. It may not be less creepy, but at least it won't land you in jail!

Carolyn Jean said...

I had to come back here because I thought of a secret inappropriate crush I had a couple years back - Dennis Rodman! I just found him so, so, so sexy. All those tattoos and all those crazy clothes and that attitude. And what an athlete! In a way, I think he's not too different from Kid Rock. But I'd actually go with Dennis above the Kid. Oh, in a second!

Shannon said...

EEeek! Really, CJ? Maybe, being from Chicago, I was exposed to more of his antics. I just can't go there, and I LOVE a man with tats. I think what really drove the nail into the coffin was when I discovered that one of the best performers at the drag show my friends and I go to (for bachelorette parties) is one of Rodman's exes. I mean s/he is gorgeous, but having breasts and a penis at the same time? No thanks. Doesn't work for me, but it apparently did for Rodman.

Carolyn Jean said...

Oh, how can I ever compete with that?

JenB said...

I think there's something hot about Kid Rock, too. And CJ, I agree about Dennis Rodman. I never admit that to ANYONE. My secret inappropriate crush is the 18-year-old lead singer of Tokio Hotel, especially in the video for their song Don't Jump (you can see it on YouTube). I'm only 26 so it's not criminal or anything...just odd.

Oh, and Jon Stewart from The Daily Show. Loved him since I was in jr high.

Shannon said...

Seriously! S/he looked like a barbie doll. Stunning. Here is a link:

http://www.thebatonshowlounge.com/photo_album.htm

She is the blonde on the top row with the peach flower in her hair. (The site is rather slow to load.)

Oh, and the latina in yellow? Looks WAY better in person. All the girls in my group were horribly jealous that a man could look so sexy as a woman. It really is not fair.

Carolyn Jean said...

JenB: isn't Jon Stewart considered one of the sexiest men ever or something?

Shannon: Wow! That site is slow to load, but those gals are hot.

lisabea said...

Cowboy baby..riding at night cuz I sleep all day.

MY GOD I LOVE THAT SONG.

Inappropriate crush? You mean other than on teh gay Nate?


William Shatner.

MaryKate said...

OMG, LB. I love you! LOL!

As Captain Kirk? Or since then??

lisabea said...

I love him best as the young Kirk, but also anywhere, anytime...especially when he's self mocking in commercials.

I just want to eat pudding with him.
