Star-Crossed Star Crush

(giggles) Being the Scorpio I am, I am open about my celebrity crushes, as we all have at least one! (giggles) My sister Noelle has a crush on Johnny Depp and my even younger sister Ellie has a crush on Orlando Bloom (so many young women do, LOL!), and indeed I thought I'd share several of my crushes too, besides Kristin Kreuk, who I already talked about briefly! (giggles)



Did you ever watch the now tragically cancelled "Joan of Arcadia"? I believe the show was perfect for everyone, especially teenagers and young Americans, in teaching God and values in a fun, positive and natural way. It’s about a teenage girl named Joan Girardi (Amber Tamblyn of "General Hospital") who communicates with God, who appears in many different forms and personalities, gives her directives, and she acts upon them and each episode leads into a whole different type of situation with a moral attacked to each episode. She also has a father Will (Joe Mantegna), who works as a police detective in Arcadia who works to make the community a safe place for everyone, and while experiencing the ups and downs with his family takes up many difficult cases due to heavy crime in the region, sometimes having to make very painful sacrifices and tough decisions, as well as a mother Helen (Mary Steenburgen) who teaches art at Joan’s high school who recently has been trying to get re-connected with God after a loss-of-faith experience with her son Kevin’s (Jason Ritter) accident, who also adds density to the show along with Joan’s other brother Luke (Michael Welch), a science-loving fellow with eyes for Joan’s friend Grace Polk (Becky Waelstrom), with an eccentric, rebellious, rough-around-the-edges but considerate persona. Barbara Hall produces and writes the show, who is a wonderful writer and role model for women and youth everywhere. I cried watching the season finale for the first of two seasons, when Joan finds out she had Lyme’s disease after experiencing several blurry, sickening, nauseus experiences just as she was finishing her first year at Arcadia High, and experiences a crisis of faith that has her struggling to recognize God and the devil, who tell her to do different things, and in result winds up in the hospital, seeing God standing in her hospital room in multiple personality forms, silent, refusing to answer her as she begs Him to speak to her, and through the grieving process she temporarily loses faith and doesn’t believe in God, but later again begins to re-discover her faith she lost. I also cried in that episode where Joan’s best friend Judith was stabbed and passed away in that episode while she was going on her first date with her boyfriend Adam, and since has been upset and desperate begging God for answers in why Judih had to go, and when her and her friends are discussing the best way to remember her, Joan remembers Judith wanting her to learn how to juggle like her so she learns to juggle.



I have a huge crush on Amber Tamblyn. I love Amber Tamblyn. She has this genuine personality of hers that makes her a wonderful, beautiful person to know, and a warm, comforting face. Did you know she’s a poet too? If you’ve ever been to her official web-site, she also shares some of her poetry with her, which has been published in some San Francisco publications like Cups and Poetry USA. I especially love "Plenty of Ships" and "She Howls".



(sigh) I just love her personality. She even writes this brutally honest ramble where she talks about how hard Hollywood can be, and that she enjoys working there but talks about dishing out all the dirt on SCAM artists everywhere who try and take advantage of you and that in the Screen Actors Guild, only 5% work and the rest are hoping for auditions and are constantly feeling the heartache of rejection. Honesty is the most important quality to me and I just love her for being candid and guileless. She also is very politically-motivated as I am and shares my liberal views. Just when I thought I was one of few who cared at all about Buy Nothing Day! On November 26th, which is often considered the busiest shopping day of the year, which I celebrate this day because I believe we live in an obsessive-compulsive corporate climate and for just one day it would be nice to live beyond material means, Amber Tamblyn is promoting this day too on her official web-site! You go girl! (does happy dance) She has the same love of great activist networks (AdBusters.org, MoveOn.org, The Lahiji Project) not to mention a great taste in music (Ani DiFranco, Neil Young, Thelonious Monk). It is heresy to me that they would cancel the show just like that after a strong first season. If they could give "Arrested Development" another chance, another rave-reviewed but little-watched program, why couldn't this show as well? We'll miss you Joan, but Amber Tamblyn shines on as a free stallion! :)



Jamie-Lynn DiScala (a.k.a Jamie-Lynn Sigler) also has that cute, sweet type of sensuality to her. She truly can seem like the shy, rapturous songbird she really is, as her name is Meadow Soprano on the Sopranos (I love that name) but she also has a sassy, bold, playful nature to her that makes her captivating and seductive on screen!



She's half-Cuban, half-Greek, and has been both acting and singing since she was 7 years old. Before becoming a star on The Sopranos, she would do regional theatres, then toured on Broadway with Rodger & Hammerstein's "Cinderella". She was even paralyzed with Lyme's disease a few years ago, paralyzed from the waist down and her recovery she said has deeply inspired her and her optimism in the world, and has been a prolific face for the National Eating Disorders Association in helping young women maintain a positive body image. She's just a sweet and fascinating person. Keep warblin', sweet Meadow!



Finally, Susan Ward has always been my guilty pleasure. She's very physically and personally sexy and positive and beyond her wonderful poses, there's also a warm charm to her, from her cute Southern roots and feminine wiles influencing her personality to her love for all living things since she was a little girl and her involvement in Actors and Others for Animals, an organization dedicated to rescuing animals and having them adopted to loving owners and families. She's a wild girl on circuit too, who's been said to reach a top speed of 224 kilometers an hour on a race track. Just a sexy and playful person all around.



(sigh) I just said a lot, my head feels all velvety now, time to go daydream to "A Different Nature". (blushes)
