Age Inappropriate Crushes

I think now and then everyone gets them. It of course isn't so bad if you are 21 and like a 17 year old celebrity but it veers into uncomfortable territory the older you get. These crushes can vary between just wanting to hang out with the person to saying "If I was that age, I would date so and so" to the downright creepy love/lust that border on pedophile alert (I'm talking to you Hayden Panettiere fans). I will say right now my age inappropriate crushes are probably more the "If I were younger..." variety. With that, I present you with my age inappropriate crush, Ryan Sheckler. Ryan stars on the show "Life of Ryan" on MTV and he's a professional skate boarder. The kid is really down to earth for someone so famous and he seems like a genuinely nice and responsible 17 year old. Which is downright refreshing to see on a network like MTV.

Pros:

-He can afford to buy his own house at 17 (but ended up not to spend time with his brothers).

-He seems genuinely kind and considerate.

-He is loyal to his friends.

-He is family oriented. Much of his show revolves around Ryan trying to be there for his little brothers and his divorced parents.

-He doesn't want to date women who are only interested in him b/c he's famous.

-He's very driven and talented at what he does.

-He has a new shorter haircut that is quite fetching.

-Skate boarders are cool.

-He cries on national television without shame.

Cons:

-He has a penchant for cheap looking blondes who have just broken up with their boyfriends.

-He wears really big diamond studs on his ears.

Can't he find a nice girl his own age?

Ugh, this age difference really bugs me. I feel like Milo was just biding his time until Hayden became legal.

'Heroes' Stars Come Clean About Romance

Heroes co-stars Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere have stopped pretending they're just good friends after cooing about their romance at a recent show party. Actor Ventimiglia toasted the actress at the pre-Christmas Water Grill party in Los Angeles, telling co-stars he was in fact dating Panettiere. An eyewitness tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her." The couple spent the rest of the party sitting together and holding hands. Ventimiglia recently shrugged off romance reports, insisting he and his co-star were just "close friends". He said, "It's only natural that people are going to couple us together."
