i can honestly say that “the terminal” is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies. for those unfamiliar with the plot, tom hanks plays viktor navorski, an eastern european man forced to live in JFK for six months when he is denied entry onto US soil, but can’t fly back to his native country due to a revolution. in those six months, he learns english, befriends many of the people working at the airport, begins a somewhat unrequited romance with a flight attendant played by catherine zeta-jones, and hilariously irritates the head immigration officer more and more by the day…a guy who tries to do everything legally possible to rid himself of the “navorski problem”, but fails repeatedly
yet, despite hanks’s comedic affectations, zeta-jones’s world-weary milfy sexiness, spielberg’s direction, and great performances by myraid actors, the movie solidified itself on my “top” list because of a single relatively insignificant character…a character who probably spoke less than 500 words the entire flick…
…zoe saldana’s officer torres…
…my favorite fictional love-interest of all-time. (honorable mention: nia long’s brandy from “boyz in the hood” and elastagirl from “the incredibles” )
in her mere 15-20 minutes of screen-time, saldana’s character somehow managed to exhibit pretty much every quality i’d look for in an ideal mate. compassion, intelligence, humility, romantic optimism, a tight blue uniform quirkiness…it’s like they intentionally grafted a character straight out of my conscious, a perfect personification of all of my “deal-makers”, fiction be damned.
anyway though, my question to you relatively fine folks: if you could bag (and “bag” in this instance could mean anything from “date” or “court” to “sleep with” or “imprison them in a texas ranch for 15 years“) any fictional character from any book, movie, or television series, who would it be? remember, i’m not referring to real live actors or actresses, but fictional characters that had you completely enthralled.

You know, I did think about the obvious Mr. Stringer Bell, but in the end, you couldn’t trust his loyalty. He will sell you out if need be, so no, def not him.
That being said, it’s tie between Dwayne Cleophus Wayne and Will Smith.
Dwayne was always trynna get his flirt on in clever ways. Deep down he was a sensitive guy. I also respected his mind (many men don’t impress me intellectually) and I liked that he wanted to be a professor. I like a nerd who has a different side to him.
Will Smith, meaning the character on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He always kept me laughing. But then he had a sensitive side to him too, which touched me. I liked that he tried to think outside the box when it came to living in his new lifestyle. Umm he was also cute!
i’m mad you remembered dwayne wayne’s middle name
Most people that had a crush on him did (I’m one of them)
Haha it was the best middle name ever!
co-signing stringer bell and dwayne cleophus wayne.
in the case of the former, “bag” would mean purely mean “do nasty, naughty things sans clothing and leave his a** before i got shot.” since messing with drug dealers has a way of getting you shot.
in the case of the latter, “bag” would mean “do nasty naughty things sans clothing and then talk about nerdy stuff like my unnatural love for arrays, my love-hate relationship with RegExp, and why trigonometry isn’t pure evil.” i have a thing for cute+nerdy goofballs … probably because i am one.
Stringer Bell, mos def. (can we still comment on sh*t that was posted almost a month ago? i hope so. i’m still catching up on some things)
Loyalty be damned…I’m going for Stringer all day!!!
really? thats a shock. i’m flabbergasted
why flabbergasted? tall, chocolate and fine will get you a pass on a lot of stuff.
and if you can handle yo’ bizness in the bedroom? hell, you can have smart women doing all kinds of stupid sh*t for you.
Surprisingly,I knew who this was instantly. For me it would be Brian Kelly(played by Simon Baker)in Something New. (he was Sanaa Lathan’s love interest in the movie. Out side of being insanely and damn near obscenely attractive in the movie, the character displays a great confidence and such a strong sense of self that it just drew me in. He was romantic, honorable, intelligent, manly, followed his passions, made his presenece know without having to put on a ‘hey look at me’ show and most impressively there was something about him that just made you want to just believe. Just close your eyes, relax enjoy the ride.
OH and one last thing, I think VSB is my new blog addiction. I am up before 7am, prepping to go get my wisdom teeth pulled and checking the site for a new entry. I may need help, lol.
Oh and thanks for adding the timestamp to the posts.
“OH and one last thing, I think VSB is my new blog addiction. I am up before 7am, prepping to go get my wisdom teeth pulled and checking the site for a new entry. I may need help, lol”
*quoting chris partlow*
“thats one of those good problems”
I hear you about the new blog addiction… I am on a semi vacation and checking this blog. good luck with the wisdom teeth
Mine would have to be Lena James as played by Jada Pinkett-Smith on “A Different World”. Aside from “ADW” being one of my most favorite sitcoms of all-time, her character was cute and spunky with a nice blend of revolutionary views and witty humor. She was low-key in comparison to a lot of the other characters, but she managed to always let her presence be known. Not to mention she had a B-Girl quality about her that I was always attracted to.
you know, i was thisclose to naming jada from jason’s lyric, and jada from “collateral”. i guess there’s something about jada
One would be Stephan Urkel (not Steve, but Stephan). I can’t explain why.
Another person would be Sheriff Troy from “Why Did I Get Married”. He was just reserved and truthful, sexy, kind,… shoot.
Word. If only he hadn’t had that Steve Harvey ass afro….
Yo Champ, I heard that was Jill Scott’s real life boo as well…
UMMM. I wanted to say Stephan Urkel too, but I was too embarrassed to admit it publicly! LOL.
I wasn’t going to say it, but I had to ‘fess up
LOL! *slowly raising hand to agree* I just don’t get it. It’s like Superman and Clark Kent…do glasses really make that big of a difference, to the point that folks become unrecognizable?
Like Liz, mine list would include Mr. Willard Smith of Bel Air…the later years though. Quentin from the Best Man…I like to laugh and he made me often. And the Men of Grey’s Anatomy (minus George and including Preston Burke)all for various reasons including the fact that they are doctors, have wonderful smiles and just sexy for the hell of it.
Mc Steamy and Mc Dreamy?!?! *sigh*
Oh YEAH all day every day and twice on Sunday
-I also would want Will Smith on Fresh Prince, and Bad Boys, Independence Day, Enemy Of The State, Made In America…hell, any movie he was in aside from Six Degrees!
-If I could have a Black Zach Morris, I’d be happy
-Darius from Love Jones (thought this would have been a more popular choice!), minus the corny poetry and plus an appropriate height for an adult male.
-Would fight Liz for Dwayne Wayne. Ron had a quality I liked about him too, lowkey. Shaza Zulu would have been a potential boo at Hillman as well.
-Who was the character in “Something New” that Sanaa dissed for the White boy? All my friends were in the theatre like “Girl, stop playing! Pick him! Pick him!”
-I always thought Shadrach from “Song Of Solomon” was probably fine before he went nuts. Plus, that name is sexy to me for some reason (even though it is Little Bow Wow’s real one)
-Can I mention a jump-off crush? I’d totally do it to WeeBay offa The Wire, but I wouldn’t get shot trying to actually date him
-Denzel for the last 15 minutes of “Mo Betta Blues”
LOL to Denzel from the last 15 minutes of Mo Betta Blues! When Bleak FINALLY got it together, he was on point.
Co-sign on the Will Smith movies… especially “Hitched”
Ohhh SNAP! I forgot about WeeBay. I DID love him, for real. Too bad he’d be locked up for forever tough. Him and Cutty. Cutty turned his life around in the end, so I admired him for that.
i was thinking about maybe having an entire entry devoted to “crushes from the wire”, until i remember that there werent any crush worthy chicks on that show, for the entire run of the series. maybe the stripper from Heaven (who’s name escapes me right now) would qualify, but thats about it
Hey, Champ, did you notice that it looked like she was the one with Freamon at the end?
i do believe they were one and the very same
Dr. Lee from Drumline. I love a man that is passionate about what he believes in. And that undertone that he spoke in all the time was just so darn sexy. It’s funny because I don’t consider Orlando Jones himself to be even remotely attractive.
Next, would be Johnny Blaze and Johnny Storm. Those two guys are just hot. Blaze with his realism and Storm with his liveliness. Just two hot guys.
And lastly I will lightheartedly say Barak Obama because my marido constantly states “that’s a true character right there”.
more honorable mentions..
regina king from “jerry maguire”
natalie portman from “garden state” (the quirkiness, i guess)
and my jump-off, lisa nicole carson in “devil in a blue dress”
Lisa Nicole Carson is too fine for jump-off status! She is my girl crush, I love her.
“Lisa Nicole Carson is too fine for jump-off status!”
ummmmmm…you dont get to make that decision for me
daaammmnnnn. daaammmnnn.
(c) Josie
Kay Amin (Kerry Washington) from The Last King of Scotland. Idi didn’t love her and she needed somebody…that white boy could have been me!!1
you know, i still havent seen that flick. knowing kdubs is in it might get me more of a reason
Pam from martin cause she had mad attitude/whit and that thang was nuts. Even though I was just a wee tike when I first laid eyes on her…I knew that she was sittin’ on dubs.
Lisa Turtle (Saved by the bell). She was damn near the only black person in the entire school and yet somehow she was able to maintain her black-girl swag. Oh not to mention she was fine as hell.
Stacy Dash in Clueless. this needs no explanation.
Finally, Angela Bassett in every movie except “what’s love got to do with it” (waaaay to brollick in that one). In Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns she was simply stunning… AND she is like 67 (give or take…)!!
Lisa (Lark Voorhies)…Damn! I forgot about her. She definitely goes on the list. As well as Stacey Dash, although I’d take her as her “Mo’ Money” character.
Angela (Halle Berry) in “Boomerang” is also a winner. She was the low-key office cutie who was focused on her career, her passion (art), as well as love for kids. She was damn near the PERFECT woman. She also had that natural beauty that didn’t need the false glam of say the Robin Givens character.
Ahh, sweet Halle. How I love thee…let me count the ways….
Monk, excellent addition. I don’t know how I could have forgotten about Halle. And you are absoulutely right… she was the perfect woman in Boomerang.
“I don’t know how I could have forgotten about Halle. And you are absoulutely right… she was the perfect woman in Boomerang.”
word
I would definitely hold Lance Sullivan (Morris Chestnut in the Bestman) hostage on a Texas ranch.
This one is easy for me…
Laura Winslow. I had the BIGGEST crush on her like ever for the entire run of Family Matters. I like to think we grew together.
What makes it even worse is that I met Kellie Williams in real life and turned into a total Steve Urkel. I’m pretty sure I professed to her my love for Laura Winslow. She must have thought I was cute b/c she invited me to some event she was having. Too bad I had to go out of town that weekend…
Foiled by an HBCU homecoming!
Honorable mentions: Whatever Christina Milian’s name was in “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” – I actually really wanted to get to know Christina Milian b/c I prayed her personality was like they’d written her characters on this movie.
Rachel from Friends (me love her long time)- I actually really liked her personality
Princess Jasmine from Aladdin -hawt.
I also had an insane lil Crush on Freddie from A Different World. Her kookie ass seemed so innocently desirable.
Plus she had that big ass hair. I likededed her big ass hair. The perm (or press or whatever) didn’t work so well for me. When she went corporate, I strayed.
I used to want to BE Freddie Brooks! now…I kind of am…lol…big red from and all…
Yo, I definitely went to Howard (closest thing to Hillman) and I WAS Freddy….with a secret Whitley streak. I want to cut my dreads and have big ass hair again!
Quentin (Terrence Howard) of the Best Man film. Because of all the smack he talks, and his egomanaical behavior, I would want to suit up in a dominatrix outfit and whip him into submission (overshare?)
Eric Balfour’s character in Lie With Me. He was so sweet, sexy, and his body was like a work of art (or maybe I was slightly drunk when I watched it)
Can someone PLEASE tell me why women are so enthralled by this guy Terrence Howard?
he’s probably a raging fu*ckstick in real life, but in that movie, his cocky attitude was both infuriating and hot at the same time.
because he embodies the typical “bad ass” that needs to meet a real “bad ass” to break that ass off! MAN, HOLD UP!!! WISE DIVA said it…put on that dominatrix gear and some thigh high stiletto boots and have that man ass up in handcuffs with a ball gag in his mouth! oh wait…I had a moment…I meant…ummmmm….yeah what WISE DIVA said…lol
LOL A Ball Gag?? Sweet Jesus, woman…get a hold of yourself!
cuz we’d secretly been wishing “light-skinned” men would make a come back when he showed up on the scene…
ROTFLMAO!! umm yeah. *ahem* clearly we are telling on ourselves.
Hes just pretty. And he wears curls nicely. Braids even nicer. He walks tall and theres mad swagger in his eyes. Personally, I think he’s a raging closet homosexual, but I’ll let him take me in the booty if that’s all he wanted. He gives profound interviews. He has a raspy voice and theres something crazy in his eyes that tell you he will backhand you if you disrespect him. aw, boy.
“I’ll let him take me in the booty”
Wow…lol…this is some ignant sh*t!
how is buttsecks with a gay man ignant?
that and he played the shit outta that guitar in the best man. i wanted to be that guitar
I used to have a thing for Terrence Howard until that full frontal scene in Get Rich or Die Tryin’. (something just wasn’t right about that) I saw a screening of it before it was released, but I’m not sure if that scene stayed in. The point is I too think he’s a closet homosexual and now he turns me off in a big way. If you see Iron Man, you’ll know what I’m talking about…
I definitely second this motion. I really love when he says to Taye Diggs Character “Na, N*gga you ain’t slick!” I just want to jump on his loins at that moment!
Thelma from “Good Times”…Nuff Said.
The Original Around the Way Girl!!!
I tend to judge a man’s character and compatibility with me based on whether he had/has a crush on Thelma from Good Times.
Excellent choice.
She’s the TRUTH!!
SHAZA ZULU and DWAYNE CLEOFUS WAYNE from ADW…@ LIZ I thought I was the only one the remembered his middle name, but I will steal him from all of you when I make him that PRUNE COBBLER baby, WHAT!?!?
THEO from the Cosby Show! (and “COCKROACH” too)
COWBOY CURTIS (Lawrence Fishburn) from PeeWee’s Playhouse!
Avon Barksdale from The WIRE…and NINO BROWN (I like a man w/ some “grrrrrrrr” to him)
A special cartoon shout out to OPTIMUS PRIME, LION-O (Thundercats Hooooooooooo!), He-MAN, and MUFASA!!
and my all time favorite ficitonal love affair is with (drum roll please)
ANDRE ROMULUS ELLKIS (Taye Diggs) from BROWN SUGAR!! You love my MUSIC…you love ME!
*ELLIS…you know I know my man’s name…LOL
Whitley Gilbert – She became the archetype in some way shape or form for every chick I’ve ever felt…..
honorable mention to Ashley Banks and Kima Greggs (yes…Kima)
aaaah, ashley. the memories
This is a really bad, haphazard, thrown together list. It’s probably not even my top anything, except what comes to mind at this very moment.
1) Terrence Howard in anything.
2) Jeremy Piven from Entourage.
3) Batman.
Which Batman? I loved all of them except Michael Keaton, he was more of a Papa Batman than a-take-me-home-and-give-me-some-nocturnal-loving kind of Batman. Unless it’s the suit that really envokes the crush, then that is totally understandable. And I hope it wasn’t the Adam West Batman, even tho’ Robin (Burt Ward) could get it, ‘POW’ ‘WHAM’!!
whichever batman, hopefully it’s not one of the incarnations with the nipples on the suit….not a good look….
*no homo* (and yes I said no homo just to bother the guys who write here)
Do you want an honest answer?
No movie.
I’m talking about the cartoon.
I was going to say the cartoon?! I cant even laugh those cartoon characters can sometimes be HOT or crushworthy!!!! I use to have a crush on Curtis from the Curtis comic strip. Only to be apart of his world….
Cartoon List:
1.) Goliath from Gargoyles
2.) HeMan
3.) Lion-O from Thundercats
4.) Woody from Toy Story 1 & 2
5.) Robin from Teen Titans
Lion-O was cute.
omg she got a list LMAO
i had the HUGEST HUGEST HUGEST CRUSH ON GOLIATH
OHMAGGUH
you are sooo ridiculous LOL
Terry McGuiness from Batman Beyond =(
And woman childhood crush:
denise from the cosby show
will add more if my memory serves me at all today
I might be coming from left field with this one, but mine is Dresser from the Five Hearbeats! He is my fav out of the five, next to Eddie Kaing, Jr. But I don’t know if I could be as ride or die as Baby Doll. Anyway. Dresser had that deep, sexy ass voice (I love when he starts singing his part/riff when they sing a Heart is a House for love acapella-after they get booed), the dance moves, he was a loyal friend (stayed tryna keep the group together), he was true to his wife, he took care of the old dance teacher, was a family man, just an overall good guy. Man, y’all gonna make go put the DVD in!
Ok, yes I’m replying to myself…but my other one is William from Girlfriends. He cracks me up! He’s witty, he likes to have a good time, he doesn’t care what the world thinks of him, he defies the typical Black man label and stereotypes. He is his own man. I love that!
yeah WILLIAM is good on paper…but he LOOKS like his breath smells like BLACK EYED PEAS!!! come one! and that “hair” if we can call it that…I just don’t know about that!
EWWWWWW! Help! No! Help! Noooo! Help!
I’m sorry, we aren’t here to judge but….ew! Help! NOoooooo!
DEAD @ “but he LOOKS like his breath smells like BLACK EYED PEAS!!! ” AAAAHAHHAHHA!
LMAO! I knew that I should have clarified that I selected William for his mind and not for his body. LOL! Y’all are cracking me up… I know he is far from foine and now that you threw in his breath and his hair, I am re-evaluating my choice… But seriously if I met someone in life who could make me laugh like that, and who’d be like f what the world thinks, let’s go caroling a la he and Joan. Man, I’d be too happy. Le sigh…Well I’m glad that I got some cool points w/ my Dresser pick…
He’s ultimate Friend Ladder material. He looks like he’ll get cocky quick. But Id give him a shot.
He whines. It’s a little wierd.
And I’m glad somebody mentioned his hair. It looks like a shaved down and dyed clown wig.
I’m sorry for picking on your list too
Jess – It’s cool, I am going to be confident in my choice. Although apparently after speaking w/ my friend Amaretto who also comments on here, she reminded me that she has told me never ever to share my thoughts about William with people. She was like, “don’t you remember I looked at you crazy when you told me the first time?” Clearly not. LOL!
ding! ding! ding! I LOVE DRESSER TOO!!! He was so grounded and real…and SECKSAAAAY! good one!
1.) I would wish myself into a lioness and get Mufasa!!
2.) Lance Rodman (Allen Payne) on the Cosby show
3.) Stanley, Rudy’s boyfriend on the Cosby show. He was going to prove to Kenny that he was worthy of Rudy.
4.) Here here on Dwayne Cleophus Wayne, I wanted to be Whitley Gilbert.
5.) Quentin, Terrance Howard’s character in Best Man, play me like you played that guitar……
STANLEY was a HATER! Always trying to get his shine on when BUUUUUUUUD was around!
Whatever!! It didnt say your crush had to have non hater potential. It said who was your crush!! PLUS Stanley was cuter than BUUUUUUDDD anyway!!! And Bud must not have had enough swagger for Rudy to go looking for lub somewhere else anyway! LOL!
Two points here:
1) I’ve never understood the Terrance Howard thing either.
2) I’m slightly amazed to realize how much Bill Cosby has had to do with helping to shape our views on ideal mates. Or at least people we want to see naked. Think about how many folks have crushes on folks directly related to something Cosby has a hand in.
I also learned how to perform fellatio on a Pudding Pop!
Obama/Cosby ’08!!!
lol! Yes Sister…there is always room fir Jello! My gay bf taught me a Pudding Pop as well….
No chill wtf
Cosby and fellatio just.. fight each other in my mind
Let me preface this by saying I’m not hating on dude but…
Terrence just looks weird to me…
He seems like he is always trying too hard to be sexy for the ladies . His facial hair is never quite right and that widow’s peak is ridiculous. he looks like a creepy-@ss n*gga. And his voice is annoying as hell.
Oh yeah, and word on the street is…he keeps it on the Down Low, Down Low. *It makes me want to break into song:
R. Isley– “This is Mr Big”
Kells– “How you doing Mr. Big?”
Isley– “What the hell is going on?”
Kells– What you mean ‘what’s going on?’”
You get my drift…
@ D*STROY….I’m telling you man…two words…BALL (muhfuggin) GAG…
Theres a word on the street?? I’m glad. I caught that vibe the minute I saw him, and my gaydar is like 92% accurate. I also think he had sex with 50 cent, but that’s another story and a whole other debate.
AND mr howards pretty ass would be the top. I don’t care, that will fuel my fantasies for years.
*taking shower in tub of bleach to rid myself of that imagery*
Oh man… terrence and 50 in a shower together.. mmm. thanks for that one, champ
make it go awaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Jess you are in rare form…
But I agree 50 probably is a bottom.
@Panama….I often address THE COS as a point of reference in how he has jacked up a generation od Black folks in how we perceive relationships, family, and marriage! I went to college thinking it would be like ADW…(and it kind of was, but only because I made it that way…) but alot of folks are all messed up in thinking that familiy life is what happened between commercials…it’s possible…plausible…but not as effortless as the script would have us belive…but I digress…I agree w/ you daddy…totally agree…
@ TOLDJA and VITAMIN…I learned my “craft” on a chocolate banana bomb pop…pudding pops were a little too slim to really challenge the gag reflex! CHURCH! lm(red)ao!
I agree, Bill Cosby had a hand in forming many aspirations in life for me, not just ideal mates. A little scary, considering how people think he went off the deep end.
im sure this is old news, but rudy was in that porn video with.. was it lexington steele? oh i dont know.
That wasn’t Rudy. It was Judy from Family Matters. You know, Aunt Rachel’s daughter who went upstairs for bed and never came back down. She was on Oprah crying about it.
jamie foxworthy was her name.
great scene, btw
Now I’m tempted to Google it… Damn you…
Why was she crying? not that I’m interested in celeb gossip or anything… But WHY???
Rudy, Judy, whatever. She went upstairs for bed and never came down? LOLOL!! Oh wow, thats hysterical
Sonny Crockett (played by Don Johnson) or Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas)…both of these guys were hot!!! They could bring the excitement in and out of the bedroom.
Denzel Washington from just about any movie.
Omar Epps from Love & Basketball
Boris Kodjoe from Brown Sugar.
Taye Diggs from How Stella Got Her Groove Back.
Okay Leila I am so with you on Omar Epps from Love and Basketball-that scene when he and Sanna play each other for their “hearts” before he is supposed to marry ole girl is just so hawt!
And Taye Diggs in How Stella Got Her Groove Back when they are going at it and he makes that single tear come out of Angela’s eye…whooo…makes me quiver!
Something about denzel washington and taye diggs turn me off. I think its their mouths?
Or maybe its because denzel looks like he could be a very handsome uncle. Its just wierd.
denzel as frank lucas is just sooo… he could get it.
I can NOT believe I left out John Cusack! *forehead slap* his characters from Say Anything to Must Love Dogs, High Fidelity and of COURSE in Grifters – I could fantasize myself with him in any of his films, LOL
Yes
My list is random (and embarrassing), but I thought I’d throw some new characters in the mix…
-Jamie Foxx (Willie Beaman) in Any Given Sunday
-Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Rod Tidwell) in Jerry Maguire
-Aidan on Sex and the City (just wish he were a brother)
-Henry Simmons (Detective Baldwin) on NYPD Blue
-Taimak (Bruce Leroy) in the Last Dragon…in my defense, I was a child when I had a crush on him
RIP Taimak…gone but not forgotten
That reminds me…Vanity from the Last Dragon and Action Jackson was my first true love.
Did I miss something? Cuz Taimak is still alive and well from my recollection.
That cat was supposed to be doing some shit with Tyler Perry…
LMAO! I’ve been hoodwinked!
See, this is exactly how ignorance get spread. Some dummy told me that sh*t years ago. I never vetted the information and just assumed they were reliable. Can’t trust nobody these days.
Yeah, my girl told me she saw Taimak the other day and he still looks pretty good.
It broke my heart when he tried to take advantage of Freddie on a Different World. Dwayne Wayne had to come thru and (try to) flex on him. “Run Freddie, run! Wait Freddie, wait!”
How could I forget Taimak? I was so in love with his ass at the tender age of 8. I wrote nasty letters to him and El Debarge in ’83. I wonder where those letters ended up?
These were the first ones to come to mind.
Based on the character:
1. Allen Payne (Jason) in Jason’s Lyric
2. Will Smith (Alex Hitchens) in Hitch
3. Lamman Rucker (Troy) in Why Did I Get Married
Based on the fact that the man (character)did something to catch my attention in the movie:
1. DMX in Belly (one scene and no explanation necessary)
2. TI in ATL (I’m embarrased about this but it is what it is-a reformed thug with a southern accent)
3. Idris Alba in Daddy’s Little Girls
4. Matthew McConaughy in The Wedding Planner
People seem to like him in Hitch better than I am legend. How!
His arms were the size of my back in I am legend. My friend was talking to me during the scene where he was running on the treadmill all wet and stuff, and I literally stopped hearing what he was saying. has he always been that big?
I dont know, I had a woman woody throughout the whole flick
HAHA!! “Woman woody”!!!
Yeah, Will was pretty pumped in that movie. He really made me reevaluate my gym regimen. After watching that pullup scene it became painfully obvious that I’ve been slacking on my pimpin’.
lamman is actually a friend of mine. cool cat, real down to earth.
um, HOW is it that you never told me this? Yet another reason to keep you in my life-long friend reserve, being a shameless opportunist and all.
-Nino Brown in New Jack City… his cutthroat attitude had me when he said “I didn’t like yo a** any way! Pretty Mutha f**ker.”
-Matthew McConaughey in A Time to Kill…those baby blue eyes and that southern accent! whew! And he really got me when his house caught fire and he wouldn’t believe he dog hadn’t survived. That man had hope and hope is alright with me!
-Taye Diggs in Brown Sugar
-Andre 300 in Idlewild…the last few scenes were a lil kooky, but he’s a romantic.
-Turtle form Entourage… I’ve always dug the funny fat kid.
Matthew Mcconagheuy (you know how to spell his name) .. in ANYTHING… gets me ridiculous.
Andrew 3000 is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute ohhhh my god
Turtle is cute and funny…
1) Coral Smith as Coral from Real World New York

5) Kerry Washington as Fatima from She Hate Me
6)Jurnee Somollett as Samantha from Great Debaters
****the champ approves of this message****
Lynn is the whore of Babylon on that show what is really going on???
And why oh why do so many people (black men and white men) like Coral??? Ugh she has super BITCHY ‘tude PLUS a big ole’ forehead…and everyone knows you can’t have both at the same time. I just don’t understand.
Coral’s really kind of smokin’ in person. I took some pics with her a few years ago in Atlanta. Sure she didn’t smile in the pictures but she was hot as the f*ck.
Is it the major boobage she got going on? C’mon just admit it.
And I want to throw in michael ealy from barbershop. Wow.
Co-sign and I’ll take Isaac (white boy) too
Ok here I go:
1.) Thelma Evans Anderson (a.k.a. Bern Nadette Stanis from Good Times) She can get it TODAY!
2.) Foxy Brown, not the rapper(Ugh…) but the Pam Grier version.
3.) Tapanga from Boy Meets World….that’s a thick white girl right there.
4.) Stacy Dash in anything….She makes me want to revitalize the title of Splakaveli
5.) New New from ATL. I can do without the fake hood attitude, but other than that she can have my kids.
6.)With that said, I can’t leave out Big Booty Judy from ATL (a.k.a. Buffy the Body) Gotta HAVE it!
7.) Chel from The Road to El Dorado. Combine the uncalled for cartoon hips and the Rosie Perez accent and Ancient Mayan life doesn’t look so bad….except for the gratuitous beheading and what not.
7.) Gina from All About the Benjamins (Eva Mendes). She was down for her man through it all. How many women would really come back with the money to pick you up from jail?
8.) Sunshine from Harlem Nights (Lela Rochon). I just gotta know….
9.) Effie White from Dream Girls (Jennifer Hudson). She was a good woman and she can sing her butt off. Singing gets me every time.
I could go on and on with this, it’s too much fun! I will stop there, but you understand.
Muchos props for Tapanga…I totally had a crush on her. She was smokin’ in her growner years.
you know who was thick? Six, from blossom.
Sunshine (Lela)…Great Pick!! The name says it all…
Michael Jai White in anything….he is the body beautiful!
Bronze: Jason from Jason’s Lyric.
Silver: Darius from Love Jones.
Gold: Lucky from Poetic Justice. A sensitive, enlightened round the way brotha, just like I like ‘em!
Honorable Mentions:
Jack (George Clooney) from One Fine Day.
Aidan from Sex and the City.
Sincere from Belly. But he was a for real, for real thug and I’m really trying my best to recover from those types. And ain’t no way in hell I’m moving to Africa just so he can leave his street life behind! He was kinda slow too. Okay, so nevermind. :/

This is true… loved me some Teacake.
Also,
Where can I get “How I Spent My Summer Vacation”? That was my movie (especially the part where dude was burning) LOL!
I taped it off Black Starz a few years (more like a decade) back. I’m sure you can find it on Amazon.
Yeah, I taped it, too. I need to order the DVD, though. It’s like, one of my favorite movies. Both Teacake and Perry could get it…If I was giving it =)
Hmm..imma show my age n take it back a bit..
My Top 5 (not in any particular order)
1. Jake Ryan *sixteen candles* sorry but i was SPRUNG on him and that 1987 porsche 944 turbo!!
2. Darius Lovehall *love jones* nuff said..
3. Marcus Graham – the last hour or so of Boomerang when he got his mind right! lol
4.Big – *sex in the city* – very last episode! (cant wait til the movie comes out!)
5.Taimak – *The Last Dragon* I’ll show him where 7th heaven really is! lol Nothin better than a man who protect you from some crazy N****a in a samurai suit! lol
Joe Black..from meet Joe Black. He oozes sexiness. The way he looks at Susan and discovers Love for the first time ever, and rediscovers it over and over agian. What woman doesnt want to be looked at like that. He makes you forget that he is death incarnate..mmm
Maximus (Russell Crowe) in Gladiator. Now that is a MAN.. there is a line in that movie where he talks about his wife. I believe I fell in love with him there, and how he avenges the death of his family. JUST TOTALLY SEXY
I’m glad I am all late on this one. I don’t want to have the full ridicule of the VSB fans. lol.
1. omar. yes THAT omar.
2. sampson of kiss the girls (the one in my mental image from reading the novels, not the one that actual was casted to platy him).
I cant think of anymore right now, I’m exhausted.
I wanted to bang Freddy form a Different World and Hilary from Fresh Prince. thats all that come to mind right now
Jordan- sister sister
Warrick Brown-CSI
Braxton Hartnabrig-Jamie FOx show
C.C White- Dream girls
Melvin Franklin- the temptations
Keith Fenton- two can play that game
Romeo- Steve Harvey Show
Raymond ‘Ray’ Adams- Deliver us from Eva
Sweetness-Roll bounce
Marvin King- Waiting to Exhale
Dudley- The Preachers Wife
Sylvester- Stomp the Yard
I loved me some Merlin Santana (RIP) but Romeo was a chauvinistic dummy!
Ohhhh, Dudley from The Preacher’s Wife and Jordan from Sister, Sister are excellent picks though! Awww…good men! What about Terrence Howard’s character from Sparks???
I know, but he had his ways, but deep down you knew it was all for attention…lol
Shazza from a different world.
he is in a tie with Dwayne Wayne.
Preston from Grey’s
Tea Cake from Their Eyes Were Watching God
that’s i can think of right now
may I remind you that even though Tea Cake got Janie the status of cougar in Their Eyes Were Watching God…and he was supposedly all fine and shit…he BEAT THE CRAP out of her ass.
Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. He wrote her letters man! Letters. Like he wrote complete sentences in which he professed his undying love to whatsherface and then put that shit in a book. He built a house for the two of them to live in. He made passionate love to her in the sweltering heat and then gave her a glass of lemonade or some shit. I love the idea of hot lovemaking. (ok, someone needs a warm towel) Then he grew old with her and stayed in the nursing home with her while she slowly deteriorated from Alzheimer’s. Now is that not love or what? That just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Rent it today.
