I'm strangely attracted to ANDERSON COOPER

Is it the salt and pepper hair? Is it the pensive face he makes between sentences? The passion? The fact that I’m not even sure if he’s straight….I don’t know! Whenever I’ve mentioned my Cooper crush, I receive faces of shock and horror. Come on, he’s a babe…look at those baby blues.

APPARENTLY, I'M NOT ALONE!!!

Maybe it’s those ties…

Barbara Broccoli

What a name!

I think I started having a crush on her when everyone used to tell me that I looked like her when she was in Interview with a Vampire… Plus, she’s hot.

Red Sox manager Terry Francona

Yep. Even the nose.

DEVENDRA BANHART

I know this picture is EXTREMELY odd. But! My love for Devendra Banhart is undeniable, and he could possibly be the most beautiful hearted person i’ve ever wanted to meet. One day we will, and then we’lll get married and it will be a dream come true!

Natalie Portman seconds your strange attraction....

and so do I.

I'm strangely attracted to JOHNNY KNOXVILLE

Johnny Knoxville makes a (handsome) living wearing aviator sunglasses and injuring himself. This should be a complete turn off, but I cannot get enough of him & his antics. Yum.

I'm strangely attracted to DONNY OSMOND

I’ve never taken so much crap for anything in my life, but I just can’t help it. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved Donny Osmond. Always have and always will. No shame. I swear.

I'm strangely attracted to, JOHN MAYER

Yes, that’s right, John freakin’ Mayer. I feel bad saying “strangely attracted” as I don’t see it as strange, really. The man is HOT. My husband and I have the supposed “laminated list” and his has 2 Russian tennis players and 2 leading ladies. Mine has one man, in bold, all caps: JOHN CLAYTON MAYER (I added the middle name to show you I mean business people!).

I have seen this man 6 times, thus far, in concert, I am a paying member of his Local 83 fan club, own all of his CD’s and I have his picture all over my desk at work (ok, I can’t really claim that as it was a birthday joke from my co-workers – I didn’t remove them though if that tells you anything!).

I dream of him one day telling me that my body, is in a fact, a wonderland and he’s purchased a ticket to ride the rides. (Oh, shame on me!)

I'm strangely attracted to JASON MRAZ

This one isn’t AS odd. Talent makes a lot of people attractive. Not to mention his lyrics make it very clear that he thinks of women as magnificent creatures. He’s part hippie, part foodie, part lover, part….elf maybe? He’s very elvin like. Pointy nose, ear, impishness.

I’d like to point out that I’m even more attracted when he’s holding a large butcher knife, in his underwear.

I'm strangely attracted to MEN CARRYING YOGA MATS

I almost hit a man on a bike with my car the other day who was happily toting along a yoga mat….and I almost did it on purpose. So we could meet. Plus, they have to have clean toes if they’re exposing them, and clean properly groomed toes are attractive.

I'm strangely attracted to BARBARA PIERCE BUSH

This one is a given because she’s unquestionably hot (and single). However, she carries 50 percent of the genetics of her dad, President George W. Bush. God, this is not fair. Sure, you could ride off into the sunset with her… but would you really want W as your in-law? Or have kids that are inclined to drunken power trips? It’s like a depressing version of the sci-fi/horror movie SPECIES.

I'm strangely attracted to...Ari Fleischer?

Don’t ask. No really, don’t ask. I cannot explain this one. He’s a bald Republican Yankees fan. What’s wrong with me?!?

Julia Allison

I think the sun is setting on this one – but until then, I continue to follow her completely narcissistic (yet oddly addicting) “lifecasting” blog daily.

Totally hot – no matter how messed up he is I have always had a crush on this too skinny long haired man.

I HAVE A NEW ONE....

Last night while watching CNN, I acknowledged my big crush on Donny Deutsch from The Big Idea. Maybe the idea of never being in debt turns me on?

I'm strangely attracted to CRISS ANGEL

Ok, this one might belong in the “Confessions” guide, actually. He is so douchey and greasy and wears way more makeup then me, but I just…can’t…look…away…

Old School Cougars

especially those who were high-priced escorts for spies and jackals during the Cold War.

The Snorg T-Shirt Chick

not very strange, just very strong.

President-Elect Barack Obama

How is it that no one has added him to this list yet? I know I am not alone here. I found myself questioning my attraction to him after his 2004 U.S. Senate election. But the last four years and certainly the last 22 months of his campaign have confirmed it: Obama is no strange attraction- just a cold hard stud (and after tonight, an especially powerful and inspiration one to boot.) Go Obama!
