In keeping with my pact with Purple Zoe, we decided to go high school groupie style and talk about our celebrity crushes...I have a few, but seeing that this is a Black Cinema blog, I'll keep it focused on that area...
As I've said in an earlier post, one thing that turns me off about mainstream Hollywood is the lack of "manly men" and what seems to be a current infatuation with using small, boyish, effeminate looking leads. Black Hollywood fortunately, imo, doesn't have that problem, and I think that contributes to our invisibility at the box office....here are a few I think are of note (at least of serious note to me!)
As you can see, I'm an equal opportunity blogger....it's not always about looks; manliness means alot. Thank goodness Common is now an actor...quite honestly this post could have been all about him alone, haha. I know that putting Denzel on the list is generic, but in my defense I was very much on the late train with him...just crushing in the past two years. I appreciate the strength and intelligence he brings to his roles...
Anyhoo-I'm in L.A. until Wednesday. If I see any of my husbands I'll let you know. To see Purple Zoe's crushes, click here; it should be up sometime today.
(as a side note, blessings to Ving Rhames, I hope he works his current situation out; it's very tragic)

Morgan Freeman!? He could be your grandfather! Wanna see spooky? Check my blog for a video of him back when he was more age appropriate. Sometimes I think you and I have some weird telepathy going, IW.
I'm in love with Common! I just want to get the chance to see those sexy freckles up close. And his new album is the truth.I can see myself with all these men except for Morgan Freeman (he's got sexy freckles too but he's too, too old). Is that the RZA from Wu-Tang Clan I see placed over Don Cheadles picture? Horrible! Give me Method Man over him anyday!
Love me some ROCK! Whew! That BlackSamoan can GET it! lol!
what about Larenz Tate? - he's a shorty, but classic;-)
Did u realize Rick Fox appeared in a B-movie? LOL!
Old or not - I still love Morgan Freeman, too!
Even though u left Idris out - I posted a treat for his fans on my spot:-)
The Rock? Check.
Morris Chestnut? Check.
Denzel? Check.
But where's Paul Wall?!
You guys are all TOO funny lol. @Thembi-How do you know if Morris Chestnut's not young enough to be my son? haha
@hottnikz yeah Method man has some hotness, but I know I'd rather spend a whole day with RZA than him any day
@capcity: Rick Fox is not my type, and Larenz is too boyish, no matter how hard he tries (I like them very manly, remember)kudos for the Rock cosign tho.
@Coco-you are down for Paul till the wheels fall off! haha...but sorry, not black, and not cinema...he's all yours Coco :-)
Y'all stop hatin' on my man Morgan-he has the twinkle of a younger man, and I bet his yoga behind could keep up with one too...:-)
P.S. @capcity: Idris is manly, yes, and he was my second, third, and fourth husband on "The Wire", but he lost something to me when he left that show...I don't know what.
I forgot about Larenz.... Yum. He's boyish yes, but there's a serious sexual energy vibrating in his aura...
*sigh
Rza is definitely a better 'spend the day with' brothah than Meth. Agreed. I also think Rza is flyer in general...
Morris Chestnut is a visual orgasm.
Morgan is fly. Period. I already commented on Mr. Freeman in the topmost post today so I close here.
We can share Denzel, Don, and Morris. And I also agree with your about Idris loosing something...he just does not seem sexy to me anymore...I think it was that Tyler Perry movie that did him in, lol.
@PZ....Lorenz is a nice guy, but I can only see him as a brotherly type...."visual orgasm"? I LMBAO when I saw that!
@keli like I said, I'm an equal opportunity blogger, and that extends to sharing...haha
Oh Know! Where is Blair Underwood and Leon?
Hi Mrs GV...sorry, Blair doesn't do it for me (I think it's the hair, always has been) and I used to see Leon around...he's pretty arrogant-not an attractive feature for me...
