Get Inspired: Celebrity Crushes
Posted by kaileenelise on February 15th, 2010
The most beautiful people we have known are those who
have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss,
and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity,
and an understanding of life that fills them with
compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.

Micaela from the gorgeous blog Dolce Vita wrote a fun post last month about her favorite beautiful people. Her list included famous girls & boys I adore like Penleope Cruz, Jen Aniston, Jude Law and Clive Owen.
In the spirit of all that’s lovely and fun in February, I’ve come up with a list of my top 5 celebrity crushes. For more celeb-spiration, check out … or so i feel and poprocks & photographs posts on the same topic.
Girl Crushes:
Claire Danes
I first fell in love with Clair Danes while watching My So-Called Life in the mid-90s. She was amazing in Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and much more recently in Shopgirl with Steve Martin.
Natalie Portman
A total chameleon, Natalie Portman always looks gorgeous. Closer and Garden State are my two favorite movies of her’s—but I also adore her moments in Hotel Chevalier, the short film before The Darjeeling Limited.
Rachel McAdams
She makes me laugh and she makes me cry. I want to go shopping with her and talk about guys, make-up and magazines. I loved her in State of Play, The Family Stone, Wedding Crashers, The Notebook and The Time Traveler’s Wife.
Ellen Pompeo
Seriously. I’m a dedicated Grey’s Anatomy fan. I watched the first season with my best friend—and even though 2,300 miles separate us today, I feel close to her when I watch the show. Ellen Pompeo is an inspiration, the dark and twisty type.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I didn’t know it then, but my love for blogging began when I started to watch Sex And The City on HBO. I sometimes imagine that I’m Carrie when I sit down to write. Her quirky style and eloquent messages are always in mind when I’m in need of inspiration.

i love your girl crushes. sjp has been a fav of mine for years. claire has been an even longer fav (showing my age here haha). hugs!!
For me it was always Katie Holmes; she was so pretty and cute. Now she sometimes looks a bit glum and she’s too thin but still beautiful and stylish
Some beautiful women there! I also love Natalie Portman, but she looks horribly thin in that photo :-/ My celebrity crush is Scarlett Johansson – smart, curvy, feminine and real
Kate Winslet is my absolute favorite. I think she is fabulous and seems so down to earth at the same time.
i have a girl crush on Rachel McAdams too! its hard not to, shes amazing and looks gorg in all of her movies. *Time travelers wife*
i like this post Kaileen!
I’ve always had a girl crush on SJP- Rachel McAdams is quickly becoming a fave too…what a fun list!

Grey’s Anatomy- SERIOUSLY. great pick! and of course, how could i have forgotten about SJP? & Claire Danes.

i TOO share your sentiments about Clare Danes – I wish we saw more of her work.
