FOF #470 - My TV Boyfriend - 01.30.07


Relationships come and go, but true love is eternal.
And what truer love can there be than the love between a fan and their favorite celebrity?
We love you and you love us. And that's what makes show business so much fun.
So who are WE in love with? Jake Gyllenhaal of course! He's the star every star dreams about. Even straight men like Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong love to pal around with our favorite gay cowboy, cause it just feels right.
We are smitten. Raptured. Ready to share the tent. But what we're really in love with is the characters that he plays and not the person who the actor really is. I'm sure Jake in real life is a lot tighter than Jack Twist ever was.
The perfect thing about having a television/film character as a boyfriend is you don't need to ever be disappointed. You never have to compromise anything, you don't really have to give them anything and you never have to smell their farts.
Who are you in love with? Who captures your imagination?
You all know that Amanda Steinstein likes them big and hairy but she has a written a "Dear John" letter to her former celebrity boyfriend and is now trying to woo the image of the new man who graces her TIVO.
Who is this new love interest in Amanda's life? Who does Marc dream about? Listen and find out!
Join Amanda Steinstein, Marc Felion and me as we talk about foods you shouldn't eat, Mexican transexuals and their rights, and falling in love with television characters or programs.
And no, eating trans fats will not make you into a transsexual. In case you were wondering.
You say Jill-en-hall, I say Gil-in-hall, lets call the whole thing off.

lovely..I have a couple celebs I like a lot and sadly there are all Uber Enbarassing. I can't wait to listen to this and share my loserdom with people who will mock me for it.

Rochelle, sweetie, let it out. I'll bet your list isn't as bad as mine.
Tell you what. I'll start, and for each one I name, you name one of yours.
Peter Scolari (when he was on Bosom Buddies).
There, I said it. Your turn.
Said by: Amanda Steinstein at January 29, 2007 11:53 PM
We want to know who you are in love with Rochelle!
Said by: Fausto at January 30, 2007 12:15 AM
Here is one of mine and I'm sure Amanda can appreciate him. He has all the angles worked out -hair and scifi!

I'm in love with Jake too, I have been since 'Donnie Darko' BBB (Before Broke Back). I literally have magazine covers with his face all over my bedroom walls. I'm even contemplating paying out to have a copy of the current GQ shipped over from America because he's on the cover of the Feb issue...I know it's tragic, but owning all of his DVD's isn't enough! And there's the Saturday Night Live downloads doing the rounds! Ps Fausto check out www.iheartjake.com x

Don't you guys think it is weird for gay men to be adoring a straight guy?
I wish we could love ourselves a little bit more. But usually the feelings we have for handsome openly gay actors is contempt or jealousy, not passionate love.
Okay, I'm going to star loving John Barrowman instead.
Said by: Fausto at January 30, 2007 08:17 AM
I am in love with Brad Pitt. No one seems to love him enough! I know, I am a weirdo. Always have been. Anyway, Brad Pitt has a sexy body!!! If he was gay and my age, I would sooo f*** him! LOL! I enjoyed the show! Love you lots!
Love,
Justin

I don't really even see Jake as straight. He's just an object of desire really. I have no chance of meeting him (he rarely promotes films in the UK), there's just something about him that sits right with me.
I consider myself pretty media savvy and alert, but despite his portrayal as "the strong silent type" there's something I just really like about him.
In terms of adoring gay men in the public eye, there's always Jay Brannan (remember I said about him a couple of days ago). Jay's an openly gay musician (and cute), in fact he's just been featured on youtube and got 185,000 views in a couple of days!
When all is said is done, we gays do need to push each other forward a bit more. Fausto is right, bring on the Barrowman (Series One of 'Torchwood' was great).

Uh oh, Angelia better look out for Justin!
Said by: Fausto at January 30, 2007 10:36 AM
Im in love with anderson cooper, the man who pays daniel on ugly betty ( ugly betty's boss ), and 3 of the Baldwins.
You'll have to guess which ones.
Said by: Destroyer of Worlds at January 30, 2007 11:39 AM
I've got a huge crush on T.R. Knight (Dr. George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy). He's adorable and seems to have an awesome personality. I love him.
And Apollo and Baltar (pre-beard) on Battlestar (new not old).
Said by: Ben H at January 30, 2007 12:32 PM
I still love Fox Mulder. I am ready for the aliens to bring him back.
Said by: Cliff from Atlanta at January 30, 2007 06:12 PM
Daniel used to be my favorite Baldwin, but then he turned into a total thug. Now I've rediscovered Alec, thanks to 30 Rock.
Said by: Amanda Steinstein at January 30, 2007 09:14 PM

Said by: Komio at January 30, 2007 11:38 PM
aside from
um...Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) from Arrested development, because I can and since while hes uptight the first season he gets kookier and fun the later the show goes.
and since the long wait..2 more
Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly) from QAF UK (I know straight chick after a gay character, let me be, he seems like a guy who needs someone there for him)...
hmm. now you making me think....well i gave out 2, now your turn again.
Said by: Rochelle(from MN) at January 31, 2007 02:20 AM
and of course I love the FOF crew as well, but you are not fictional characters...or are you?
(dun dun dun)
and no crush so sorry. i love ya'll in a platonic way.
Said by: Rochelle(from MN) at January 31, 2007 02:22 AM
ok i have to add Colin Farrell, Gale Harold, and Jason Behr.
Said by: Destroyer of Worlds at January 31, 2007 02:27 AM
omg: "don't bargain hunt for a bargain cunt"
so amazing! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Said by: joost at January 31, 2007 05:54 AM
Omigod I forgot Michael Bluth!!! Does it count if your TV boyfriend is cancelled? I actually liked GOB too, but what a major asshole.
Said by: Amanda Steinstein at January 31, 2007 10:09 AM
I know that Fausto and Marc will appreciate this one, but the less geeky part of the audience might not. Way back when Star Trek: Voyager premiered when I was in fourth grade, I fell instantly in love with Tom Paris. He was the bad boy with a good heart, and wasn't too harsh on the eyes either. I've always fantasized about taking him into a dark room and having my way with him.
Also, Elliot Stabler from Law & Order: SVU makes my list of TV boyfriends. He could take me into a dark room and have his way with me any day.
Amanda: "bargain hunt for a bargain cunt" made me spit out the water I was drinking and drew some very confused stares from my coworkers as I spent the next minute trying to regain my composure. Thank you for brightening my day.

god love jason bateman. rochelle, you are awesome.
Said by: Ben (from MI) at January 31, 2007 01:16 PM
Everyone seems to have forgotten to add just one more person....that fine blue-eyed black man that's on CSI. I'm not exactly sure which of the gazillion CSI's he's on, but I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about!
Love the show! Keeps me awake and perky while getting ready to teach every morning!
Thanks y'all,
Brenda
Said by: Brenda at January 31, 2007 04:58 PM
Milton darling...I hope you didn't get water on your keyboard!
And Elliot Stabler...yeah...I can get on board with that. He's so beautiful and complex.
Did you ever see a movie called "Wet Hot American Summer"? It's a great parody of every 80s summer camp movie ever made, and Chris Meloni plays the insane cook. If you get the DVD and watch the bonus features...well, let's just say you get to see some of Chris Meloni's bonus features! Woo hoo!

Ianto Jones from Torchwood is my small screen crush. Such a sad cutie!
Said by: Ben W [from MN] at January 31, 2007 11:23 PM
Gil Grissom forever! William Peterson - HOTNESS!

My first TV crush was with Ricky Schroder on the TV show Silver Spoons... I would go to sleep at night humming the theme song "here we are a couple of silver spoons" while thinking of Ricky.... Ricky, oh Ricky you were my first and still my favorite TV crush!!
