Celebrity Crushes
Celebrity
Crushes
Written by: Jill Sheets
I am sure
like most of you; I have had many celebrity crushes as a child and
teenager. Some of them I hate to admit,
but I still listed them. I am sure by reading the name/s you might know why. What can I say? I was young.
The first
crush that I remember was Ricky Schroder. He has been in many TV shows and
movies, but what I mainly remember him on the 1982 – 1986 show Silver Spoons. I
remember lying on my bed reading a magazine with him on the cover. At that
time, my reading was not the greatest, but I was able to make out that he had a
girlfriend, and she was his first kiss and I was upset. This would not be the
last time a boy mad me cry.
How many
people remember Chad Allen? He played David Witherspoon on the show “Our House”.
Alongside Wilford Brimley, Deidre Hall and Shannen
Doherty.
He is another actor who has an impressive resume. He was also in “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”
and “My Two Dads” with Staci Keanan. Remember when I said that he was not the
first one to make me cry. Well okay, not
cry, but I got sick when
he kissed Staci Keanan on her show and it did not help the matter that I had strep
throat.
The Monkees
we active form 1966 and 1971, but I did not know that. I started to watch their
reruns on Nickelodeon each day, and I was not aware that they were a lot older
than I was. For anyone who is taking count, I was not born until 1975. Even
though I thought each Monkee was cute each in his own way, I developed a crush
on Davy Jones. I had gotten their records and books about them. That is where I
learned that Davy had been married many times, and I was really upset. How
could he have been married that many times when he was that young? I guess we
all know now.
I even had
a crush on Prince Edward, who is Prince Charles and Prince Andrews’s younger
brother. I honestly have no idea how
this crush came about, I guess I saw him on a magazine. I even made my mom record “It's a Royal
Knockout” in 1987. I loved it, but I heard that was not the cause for many of
the royals. Then again, I was around 12.
The last
crush that I remember was New Kids on the Block’s youngest member, Joey McIntyre.
I heard about the group from a friend. Their new single “Please Don’t Go Girl,”
was playing on the radio over and over. People were calling in to request it. I
was kind of confused. I thought it was an all boy band. So honestly, when I
first heard “Please Don’t Go Girl,” I thought it was a girl who was singing.
This was before Joey’s voice changed. Just like many girls, I believed that I
would marry him or the other members someday.
I have
had many celebrities’ crushes through my childhood and teen years, but who
hasn’t? I bet you can name at least one of yours. Unless, you grow up in a
cave, in the middle of nowhere…which is always a possibility.
