Weird Crush

Every year Heat magazine (yes I read Heat, get over it) publishes the results of their 'Weird Crush' survey where the readers vote for guys they find attractive, even though they are not 'conventional' hotties.


Well, the past few years each of the guys from Top Gear have won (why?? they are all hideous!) but this year, I hope I'm not spoiling it for anyone by revealing, the winner is none other than mentalist showman/wizard Derren Brown:

Now, the funny thing is I was watching one of his DVDs the other day (An Evening of Wonders) and I was thinking to myself, you know what, there's something about him...

Maybe it's his mental trickery to convince everyone that he's a hot wizard? Who knows, but I think he's a worthy Weird Crush 2009 winner.

What is more funny is that it recently 'came out' that Derren actually has more in common with Gandalf than just his magical powers - yes, Derren is one of the team, a full-on card-carrying homosexualist. Yay for well-liked famous gays!

He made a comment in Heat that he sometimes gets chatted up by cute girls but not very often by cute boys, so he's obviously on the lookout. So if you ever see him out and about, why not try hitting on him? You'll probably wake up the following morning with a sore bum and no recollection of the previous night other than a vague feeling of shame, but hey, you never know, Derren might be handy to have around in the boyfriend stakes too - you could get him to convince people of all sorts of things and basically it would be like dating one of the X-Men. Result!

So, the question must next be - who is YOUR weird crush? I'm dying to know!
