Who would you do? Joel McHale, Alec Baldwin, & My Freebie 5




What's that old comic line about staring at someone attractive, "I'm married, not dead"? Well I am very happily married now, and I get it. We all react to beauty, we are all hit by sexy, and what hits us is very different for each person.

Last February I posted about my admiration for Clive Owen and my Freebie Five. The freebie five is a list of five celebrities so overwhelmingly attractive to you that your significant other must let you sleep with them, consequence-free, should that unbelievable incredibly rare opportunity ever arise. Also on my list: Eric Bana, John Barrowman, Greg Louganis and Rahm Emanuel.

The freebie five was popularized in an episode of "Friends" when each character listed their five, Ross named Isabella Rossellini, and then literally bumped into her and fumbled it.

My husband often jokes -- uh, I assume he's joking -- that he wants a list of ten. And yes honey your secret boyfriend Ricky Martin is totally in play if you ever have the chance.

So I figured, hey, it's a year later let's circle back and update the list.

My 2011 Freebie Five...

1- Johnny Knoxville: the Jackass star is funny and crude with a killer smile, and yes sometimes even sweet. And seems to run around shirtless a lot, for no apparent reason. All good.

2- Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live: funny, smart, killer cute smile.

3- Alec Baldwin: funny, sexy, smart, outspoken, liberal. Pretty close to perfect.

4- Although last fall's Hart to Hart wannabe Undercovers sucked and is already gone from the airwaves, its star Borid Kodjoe is stylish and cool and hot. Bring him back to TV!

5- Out Brit actor singer writer John Barrowman, star of the amazing Torchwood series and a bizarre stint on Desperate Housewives, is a super-talented and super sexy activist.

6- Saving the best for last... Community star and The Soup host, super tall super sarcastic Joel McHale. Sometimes snarky is sexy.

And yes I realise there are six names here. What can I say? My blog, my rules...

Nice list.

A younger Alec Baldwin would be nice..And totally Seth Meyers.. he is adorable and funny.

My list includes Kelly Jones the lead singer of Stereophonics.. and yes a man. Adorable and a great rough voice.
Robbie Williams used to be on it..but not so much anymore. I just pine for Kelly these days.

BeckEye said...

I LOVE Seth and Joel. LOVE. Also, I don't know who that John Barrowman fellow is, but he's mighty fine.

Clare and Gary said...

I love Joel McHale.. he makes us laugh so much and 'snarky' is sexy...

A Strange Boy said...

Nice list. If you want to check out Joel McHale as a young man, look for his stuff from Seattle sketch comedy show Almost Live! on YouTube.

I have a friend who keeps insisting Seth Meyers is in the closet...he's mentioned a girlfriend in interviews though.

@ Vodka Logic -- will have to check out Kelly, dont know him to see him. And I agree on Robbie Williams, he would be on my next list.

@Beckeye - check out Torchwood, a Brit sci fi show. You will swoon for him.

@Clare -- agreed!

@Strange Boy -- Thanks, will check out those videos. Interesting about Seth Meyers, I had not heard that about him. You never know...

Vodka Logic said...

Blimey Brahm, you pulled a blinder with this post. I have to say, that after seriously reviewing all the candidates... I would boff every one of 'em. Tasty!

Underground Dude said...

1. Jonny Lee Miller
2. Colin Farrell

4. Chris Evans
5. Jamie Bamber

Damien Oz said...

3. Mark Harmon
4. Patrick Stewart

This list is subject to additions / changes.

I used to think the Baldwins were attractive - but now they just gross me out. Good thing I'm a dyke!

Mrsblogalot said...

Oh! I love making lists! It's great to have a plan isn't it? (-:

I think Alec Baldwin would be right up there on my to-Do list. Although he'd have to off Matthew McConaughey to get there. I could stand a good cat fight!

J@v@JuNKo said...

That Johnny does have a great smile! Good pick, I can't imagine how outrageous it would be to be in a relationship with him though if he's anything like he is on his shows lol!

For me...
Jake Gyllenhaal
Ryan Reynolds
Joe Manganiello
Joel Gretsch (the priest from V)
Logan McCree (do porn stars count?)

I could keep going, but I thought I would keep mine realistic as well...
Your blog does rule.

Oh, yes. Seth Meyers, of course. Sizzle fashizzle! Ed Harris was my celebrity crush before, but now it's Harry Connick, Jr. Oh, baby, that man with his pecs and his all-around-down-to-earth-nature just melts my Ovaltine.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Why is it my husband who puts in the disclaimer reserve about subject to additions or changes? Hmmm...

Some good neames on here, ones I hadn't thought of: Harry Connick Jr, Jamie Bamber, Ryan Reynolds...

Ray's Cowboy said...

3rd Man whoever he is. I think he is HOT.

WOOF
Ray

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

@Ray's -- 3rd from the top is Seth Meyers from Saturday Night Live!

injaynesworld said...

I wouldn't do any of them, but Dixie kinda liked Joel McHale's Chihuahua.

Aimee said...

My husband and I always called it the "front porch deal." If we opened the door and saw them standing on the front porch, then it's game on. His is Alyssa Milano and mine is Harrison Ford. If I had to come up with five, there would surely be some women involved. Mila Jovovich...Fairuza Balk...Joan Jett....1960s Grace Slick....and then Harrison Ford. Oh my....

Jess said...

Nice list! My list grows longer by the minute. My husband lovingly refers to me as his little slut! His list has two women on it...my list has like 20 men on it!

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

@Jayne -- well, I agree the chihuahua is cute, but so is the smirk!

@Aimee -- never heard that expression, and love the "front porch deal"!

@Jess -- 20, huh? Impressive.
