Line 4: Celebrities. They are [[The Beautiful Elite]]. Even the [[Hollywood Ugly\|ugly ones]] are usually just [[Beautiful All Along]]. In addition to their attractiveness, the ~~talent -- be~~talent—be it acting, singing, or something more strange and out ~~there -- is~~there—is what gets the attention of the media, who then brings it to the hungry viewing world. Take a gorgeous person, inundate the world with their image, and there's the illusion of closeness and attainability. Thus people are prone to fall victim to the [['''Celeb Crush]]''', which can vary from hopeless, depressive mooning to innocent fantasizing to crazy schemes to meet and woo the object of their affections. Teenagers everywhere of both genders will fall prey to the charms of the hottie du jour. (And not just teenagers, either, as evidenced by the page quote.) Line 18: More than a roomful of fans crushing on a celebrity could be a [[Groupie Brigade\|fan mob]], which is sort of the inverse of an [[Angry Mob]]. [[Groupie Brigade\|Fan mobs]] tend to want to pepper their crush with kisses while simultaneously ripping off clothing or props for souvenirs. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~ }} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Barnaby Brooks Jr. from ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' tends to collect fangirls like honey collects ~~flies -- including~~flies—including his partner Kotetsu's own [[Precocious Crush\|preteen daughter]]. Kotetsu is a bit annoyed by this, particularly since Barnaby [[The Charmer\|actively encourages it.]] {{quote\| '''Kotetsu:''' Don't you ever get tired of that?}} * In ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' Lunamaria Hawke, Meyrin Hawke, and Meer Campbell all have major hero crushes on [[Ace Pilot]] Athrun Zala, one of the protagonists of the previous series. They're all a little dissapointed when they meet the [[The Cynic\|man]] [[The Stoic\|behind]] [[Shell-Shocked Veteran\|the]] [[Broken Ace\|legend]]. Athrun for his part, doesn't even seem to notice their interest (and in Luna's case brushes her off by saying that "I can't allow your feelings to jeopardise the ability of this team to cooperate."). Line 30 ⟶ 31: * ''Win A Date With Tad Hamilton'' was about exploiting the crush. * Prince Char from ''[[Ella Enchanted]]'' had [[Fan Mob\|mobs of]] screaming fangirls. * [[Borat]] is obsessed with Pamela Anderson. * In ''[[The Love Guru]]'', Le Coq Grande has a thing for fellow French-Canadian Celine Dion. * Phil Foster from ''[[Date Night]]'' confesses to his wife that his "sex fantasy" involves Cyndi Lauper. * ''Broadway Melody of 1938'' featured [[Judy Garland]] singing "You Made Me Love You" to a photograph of [[Clark Gable]]. == Literature == * In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Podkayne of Mars]]'', Poddy's younger brother Clark gets a [[Precocious Crush]] on a famous society lady whom Poddy refers to pseudonymously as "Girdle Fitz-Snugglie". == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 39 ⟶ 43: * ''[[The Brady Bunch]]'': Marsha Brady had a crush on Desi Arnaz Jr. and later, [[The Monkees\|Davy Jones]]. * On ''[[Night Court]]'' Harry Stone had a non-sexual crush on Mel Torme. Non-sexual...but still borderline stalkery. * Analysed in ''[[Coupling]]'' with Jeff's theory about what happens when two lovers' Celebrity Crushes ~~meet -- which~~meet—which occurs [[Brick Joke\|at the end of the episode]], between Steve's crush ([[Panorama\|Mariella Frostrup]]) and Susan's ([[Have I Got News for You\|Angus Deayton]]). Jeff reckons this phenomenon is the reason there are so many celebrity marriages. {{quote\| '''Jeff:''' If you fantasize about someone else during sex, and so does your partner, and, you know, those two people that you're fantasizing about happen to meet while you're still doing it, they're bound to sense something, aren't they? Because they're connecting on, like, a virtual plane. So can you imagine what it was like when Posh first met Beckham? They were the epicenter of a non-stop, nationwide virtual shag!}} * In ''[[Friends]]'', a character not only has a crush on actor Joey, but actually [[I Am Not Spock\|thinks he is a doctor called Drake Ramoray]], a character he plays in [[Show Within a Show]] [[Days of Our Lives]]. ** Rachel also had a Celeb Crush on Joey in 'The One That Could've Been'. Line 63 ⟶ 67: * In general, teenage girls will moon dreamily over [[Teen Idol\|teen idols]] such as the [[Jonas Brothers]], [[Justin Bieber]] and [[Taylor Lautner]]. Likewise, many a teen boy has fallen prey to the charms of [[Taylor Swift]], [[Selena Gomez]], [[Miley Cyrus]] and the like. In both cases, this can lead to [[Fan Dumb]]. ** Oh dear Lord, Taylor Swift. In 2010, some guys at Auburn launched a website called "A Hug From Taylor Swift", which aimed to get [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|exactly that.]] Taylor found the website, and proceeded to put them through [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxBSpHji2oo three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo6HuSCBZu4&feature=related rounds] of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVtlDvh74H8&feature=relmfu challenges] if they really wanted one. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcIr6y1VduU&feature=related They] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiG5gs2TFEY&feature=related aced] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuTyNoY22Gg&feature=related them]. After they completed the final challenge- get people to an auditorium and lead them in karaoke- she popped up and gave them their hugs. And kisses. And concert tickets. And put on a bonus concert to boot. * Elvis, [[Michael Jackson]] and [[The Beatles (band)\|The Beatles]] had this problem in spades, to the point they had trouble going out in public. * The majority of the cast of the [[Harry Potter]] movies have fans with crushes and have since the first film. * Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby as well. To the point it was parodied by [[Looney Tunes]]. Porky hired chicken crooners based on each of them to make the hens lay eggs. Line 83 ⟶ 87: Cosmo has a crush on pop star Britney Britney. * Florence from ''[[The Jeffersons]]'' had a crush on Billy Dee Williams and got to meet him. * ''[[The Mighty B!]]'' has a hero worship thing for Miriam Breedlove. * On ''[[The Flintstones]]'', Wilma and Betty crushed on [[Punny Name\|Stony Curtis]] and [[Punny Name\|Cary Granite]] and Fred and Barney crushed on [[Punny Name\|Ann Margrock]]. * ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' has an idol worship thing on [[Punny Name\|Billy Stumps]]. Line 89 ⟶ 93: * Cleofatra from ''[[Gravedale High]]'' has a crush on werewolf soap star Billy Headstone from ''Trudy and the Beast''. * Jake the Dog from ''[[Adventure Time]]'' has one on the legendary hero Billy. "I love you, Billy! [[Ho Yay\|I got a secret crush on you, Billy!]]" * During her [[High School]] days, [[The Simpsons (animation)\|Marge Simpson]] had a crush on [[The Beatles (band)\|Ringo Starr]], and painted pictures of herself with him, including one of them getting married. * On ''[[Total Drama World Tour]],'' [[Loony Fan\|Sierra]] has a "[[Stalker with a Crush\|crush]]" on [[Adorkable\|Cody]] from his time in the previous seasons (since ''Total Drama'' is also a Reality [[Show Within a Show]]). Line 95 ⟶ 99: [[Category:Love Tropes]] [[Category:Comedy Tropes]] [[Category:~~Celeb Crush~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
