Media-crity

This is my list of five. It’s a little something some of my friends and I do. The concept is similar to the Friends episode where Ross makes his list of five people he could have a no-strings-attached, no-questions-asked fling with and he laminates it and then he meets Isabella Rosselini. If you haven’t seen it, it won’t make much sense. Anyway, we keep these lists and talk about them everytime we get together (see: Girls Nights) and sometimes fight over who gets to have who on their list (we really strive to avoid overlap, because that could get ugly). Occasionally, we update them. Last night during the Lost finale, I decided that I might like to have Henry Ian Cusick, the actor playing Desmond, on mine. This lead me to reconsider my whole list and update it. So without further adieu …

1. Dan Abrams, host of MSNBC’s The Abrams Report.

Dan has a permanent spot on my list. He’s been there since the beginning. He’s smart, he’s sarcastic, he’s funny, he’s compassionate, he’s … dreeeaaaaaaaaaamy … I mean, how could you read something like the Dan’s Under a Decade Fans and not be completely charmed?

2. Henry Ian Cusick, Desmond on Lost

Desmond is a new addition. He’s cute and he has a charming accent. What more can I say?

3. Rob Thomas, singer and frontman of Matchbox Twenty

I’m keeping Rob on here even though I hate his crewcut. Hate. He just seems so down to earth and friendly (and I’ve heard that from someone who’s actually spoken to him!) I’d listen to him read me the phone book.

4. Eddie Vedder, singer and Pearl Jam frontman

Now I can tolerate Eddie’s short hair. Something about his intensity and passion is so attractive. I’d probably buy a swimsuit in Iceland from him. He’s fallen off and reappeared on my list a few times, but he’s always on my radar and I never stop loving the music.

5. Milo Ventimiglia, Jess on Gilmore Girls

I actually think this is a case of me loving the character more than the actor, simply because I don’t know much about the actor. However, he’s still really cute, and he’s the one that gives Jess-the-character life and depth. I have never wanted to be a TV character so badly.
