Celeb Crush: Sean Penn In, Chris Brown Out

As soon as news broke of Chris Brown beating up his girlfriend Rihanna, I knew he'd need to be officially removed from my List of Celebrity Crushes. However, I didn't know who to replace him with, so I was dragging my feet. I think I've got someone: Sean Penn. I just read the Rolling Stone interview with him, and I think he's cool enough and cute enough to be on the list. He's very opinionated, and I like that in a person. I also LOVED his movie Into the Wild with Emile Hirsch. It's the only good movie I've seen in the last 2 years.

Here's my new, fully revised List of My Top 5 Celebrity Crushes:

Crush 1, on left: Josh Hollowell: actor from my fave TV Show Lost-- He's just pretty, and I like his Southern accent.

Crush 2, on right: James Hetfield: lead singer of Metallica-- He's cute, and a very talented singer song-writer. Plus, he's different, and I like that.



Crush 3: Dale Earnhardt, Jr., NASCAR driver. Very cute, love his red hair, like his Southern accent.



Crush 4: Tom Petty, singer; mostly the Tom Petty of 20 years ago. Tom Petty would not be called a traditional sex symbol, and some people might call him skinny and gross. I can only send you to this YouTube video of the making of the Traveling Wilburys album. It's a great movie, and Petty is so young and cool and just as good of a musician as the guys he's playing with: Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison. I adore Petty's voice, especially his speaking voice.

Crush 5: Sean Penn, actor/director. Very cute when he was younger, and still a good-looking guy at age 48. I love the movie he directed recently, Into the Wild. You can't read his recent Rolling Stone interview online, but here's a post by the guy who interviewed him that gives a sense of how the interview went.
