It’s been a while since I’ve done a fun blog, so I thought it was about time to crack a smile, and as I’m feeling a bit gross and grumpy today, I’ve decided to share my list of men to marry with you…
Okay, so like none of them actually fit in my usual type of funky-haired tattooed rock star blokes, which could possibly prove that I always go for the wrong man, and I’m actually destined to live happily ever after with one of the below… in fact, only two are musicians…
Anyway, here’s hoping.
Giovanni Ribisi
First up is my number one dream man, Giovanni Ribisi. After getting him and Chad Lindberg mixed up for about a year, my stepsister finally pointed out the difference with the help of Gone In Sixty Seconds (Giovanni) and Fast & The Furious (Chad) and from that moment on I’ve loved Giovanni! Haha.

It’s got to the point now that I have to fast-forward the bit in Saving Private Ryan where he dies, because it’s so emotional, I actually feel like I’m watching him dying… probably because when I was younger my mum told me that people who die in films really did die for loads of money.
So erase the memory of him playing ‘Phoebe’s brother in friends’ and check him out in the likes of Lost In Translation or any of the other films where he makes his small part become the gel that holds the entire film together.
Carmine Giovinazzo
Most people know Carmine as Danny from CSI:NY, but it was his little part in Black Hawk Down which made me go a bit mental for him. Although I do quite like him looking all police-y and fit in CSI, and of course his glasses make him look dead intelligent.

And he also fits in with my ideal man being in a band, as Carmine and his mates have their own band Ceesau, which clearly is a sign that I should be picking him over the foxy Mr Ribisi.. Hum.
Michael Cera
I have a bit of a thing for funny people at the minute and I seem to have a crush on everyone on Mock The Week, and Jimmy Carr so as Michael Cera is funny, and dead sweet on Nick And Norah’s infinite play list, I’ve decided to add him to my list too.

He’s defo one to watch out for in the new realm of comedians, and he’s got some kind of alluring awkwardness to him too, which makes me go all fuzzy too,
Paul Dano
Ever since I saw Little Miss Sunshine I’ve though Paul Dano was an absolute hero. He kind of has that weird awkwardness to his presence too, and I just want to shake him up and make him all fun.

Look’s wise, he’s the most like ‘my type’ that I would go for in a ‘normal’ guy, although as I write this I realise how I look more and more like a mental case stalker with every line I write…
Neil Westfall – A Day To Remember
The final guy on my list has to be Neil Westfall, who I imagine actually thinks I’m a mental case, as I totally failed to be able to mutter any words of any sense to him when I interviewed him on Valentines Day 2009.


My botched attempts at thrusting a Love Hearts Double Dip into the hands of A Day To Remember probably made me look like a total mong and clearly I was the only person at that gig that went home alone that night, even managing to fall out with my friend for no reason. Brilliant.
I don’t know why I like him, I think it’s the tattoos to be honest, and the fact that he’s in one of the best bands around.
Tuomas Holopainen – Nightwish
Okay, so I look like a nutter, but now I feel dead guilty because I also have a bit of a thing for Tuomas Holopainen and if I left him out, I’d feel like a total bitch because, he is one of the nicest interviews I’ve ever done at FemaleFirst and I admire him so much as a musician.

When he called the office for his interview I almost feel off my chair, and it was an absolute honour to chat to him, especially as he looks rather like Captain Jack Sparrow 365 days a year, and is one of the few men who can pull off guy liner.
In fact, I could spend one day with any of these guys, he would be my first choice without a shadow of a doubt, what he’s brought to music is something that has touched so many Nightwish fans over the years.
So, I hope some of you agree with my hot men list, if you know me as a person (or read my blog often) you’ll probably know the type of person I am, so if you’re new to my blog don’t worry, you don’t need to alert the police about this crazy journalist just yet.

excellent choice on Tuomas, is is a really nice person i got to meet him last September, i didn’t really get to chat with him like you did, but i got enough, he is so amazing inside and out!:)
Well, Ruth … perhaps you resemble a stalker with mental hues. However; seeing that your mum, as did my father, chose to practice parenting-outré and you list not only Giovanni Ribisi (I’ve not been the same since ‘The Gift’), but Carmine Giovinazzo (Holy Mary Mother in the manger) AND Paul Dano … you are my hero, my new best friend.
