My Dark Secret

Authored by Super Special Guest Poster and Honorary MamaPop Betch, Danielle of Foodmomiac

Confession: I develop inappropriate crushes on men who star in my kids' TV shows. I blame Greg Wiggle. When my daughter Dylan was two, she was obsessed with The Wiggles. In order to make the endless airings of the show more palatable, I did what any sane mother would do. I decided that Greg was hot. In all fairness, he DID act kind of sexy at the live show. During this one song, he shook his hips and then winked at someone off on stage right. I was a goner. Plus, my strategy works. Watching a kids' show? Boring! Watching a hot guy? Easy!

As Dylan's tastes in television have improved, so have my crushes. Zac Efron might not be able to drink legally yet, but I think we can all agree that he is hot. No?

My very favorite these days is Drake Bell from Drake and Josh. This one is TOTALLY valid. He's a musician! He's signed with Motown! And did you see him on the Kids' Choice Awards? Hott!! (love the glasses, Drake. LOVE THEM.)

OK, here's my embarrassing one. Billy Ray Cyrus. Hear me out though! He's a grown man. He no longer sports the mullet. He's in great shape. Anyone?

Finally, thanks to ABC Family, Dylan has developed a love for Full House. Uncle Jesse anyone?

OK, Totally agree with you. As a mother to a 7 year old girl, I have been crushing on Drake for about a year now. We have the complete collection of Full House (Have Mercy) and, although I never got into the achy breaky, I did just by Billy Ray's cd. Total Hotness :) Can we all remember Shai LeBouf on Disney's Even Stevens or the movie Holes? I'm just glad she's not hooked on all of the cartoon's anymore.....

you didn't mention Joe! From Blue's clues.... my daughter has totally outgrown that show, but I still long for my 20 min a day with Joe. Now she's into Yo Gaba Gaba, so I'm trying to picture DJ Lance without the goofy orange hat.

I loved me some Anthony (blue) from the Wiggles.

And I'm sorry mortimersmom but Steve from Blue's Clues wins hand-down against Joe.

I always dug Anthony Wiggle. But holy crap!!!! Drake Bell is the hottest piece of tadpole ass ever! I have a picture of him up on my bulletin board at work and a concert t-shirt of him.

I also totally dug the Kratt Brothers from Zooboomafoo and also Joe Jonas. mmmmm! tadpoles are hot!

[jennifer]

someone else who was luvin' the kratt brothers? so glad i'm not alone.

and yes - steve over joe, by far. i've even googled him, my own "where is he now?"...

[Debby]

I refused (REFUSED I TELL YOU!) to watch Joe on Blues Clues when he took over. Sniff. He doesn't sing the theme song the right way. Steve was awesome.

[Fitarella]

Yes to Billy Ray Cyrus!!! He totally does it for me!! But my favorite sexy Wiggle is Anthony Field! So dreamy ;-)

Put another check in the Kratt Brothers column. I had major mommy-hots for Martin.

I fully understand. There was a time when I kept looking for a bulge in the Blues Clues boy's pants. But I think it's like Stockholm Syndrome. We are forced to watch them over and over and so a false affection/horny occurs.

tadpole ass! oh you are cracking me up.
Count me as a vote for Steve. Joe bugs the crap out of me.
Um, has anyone seen Pocahontas lately? The cartoon? I know the movie is horrible pandering over-PC romanticizing nonsense, but... also the most incredibly romantic movie I've seen in ages. I know, Stockholm Syndrome.

I have a total crush on the Kratt Brothers! And I decided Billy Ray was hot on Dancing with the Stars but then I thought I was losing my mind. Glad to know there are others!
