In case you are unaware, Randy is a country singer. He's ancient now. But when I was 5, I was in love. My mom would play his records (yes, the old fashioned black spinny ones) in our house and I would sing along. I said I was going to marry him. It was quite the blow to my dreams when I found out he was already married.
My friend about died laughing. She pointed out the obvious that at least her crush was on a kid, whereas mine was a grown, married man.
I progressed in my celebrity crushes and in Junior High had moved on to JTT:
This was a big crush. My best friend had a similar crush on Devon Sawa, of Casper fame. Anyway, we bought all the magazines Teen Beat, Tiger Beat, Bop, Big Bopper. We cut out pictures of these two and we each had one of those big photo albums. The ones where you peel the plastic off the sticky page, put the pictures in and put the plastic back. Yeah. . . we filled these "scrapbooks" and carried them around with us during sixth grade. I watched Man of the House about a billion times and, obviously, was quite the fan of Home Improvement. Then JTT dropped off the face of the Earth or whatever and I hear he's gay now.
I don't recall a major celebrity crush in high school. I mean, yeah there were the obvious Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, yada yada, but I guess I was more focused on actual boys at the time.
In college it was John Mayer:
Back when he was less of a news item and more of just a singer whose songs said all the right things. Ah, John. What happened? Anyway, I had several cds and listened to Heavier Things nonstop for awhile. We drove to Little Rock to see him in concert because he wasn't coming any close than that. This pretty much lasted all through college. I cringe a little now, because he's gotten so tabloid-y. I still like his music though.
And let's bring thing right up to the current day. My current celebrity crush is Mr. Gerard Butler:
Gerard and I met during P.S. I Love You. He is wonderful. And scottish. And HOT. Yeah, let's just go ahead and add second shot of Gerard, you won't mind? Will you?
That's nice. Now, who were your celebrity crushes?

Seriously, I'm feeling you on the celebrity crushes. I remember crushing on JTT. I also had a thing for the young Leonardo Dicaprio in Growing Pains.
I had a friend with a major crush on Leo, she must have seen Titanic a million times.
As for growing pains I was more of a Kirk Cameron girl.
I was SO IN LOVE with Michael J. Fox! SO IN LOVE! Then it was John Cusack. Then Hugh Grant. Then Dr. Perry Cox on Scrubs----roww.
