I have a new theory on why we are constantly lusting  after celebrities. Ever since I was a child I had celebrity crushes. The earliest one I can remember was Princess Jasmine. She was beautiful and she wore baby blue – my favorite color.

As a child and teen I loved Demi Moore. She was so badass in GIJane. Basically every celebrity I’ve every crushed on was stemmed from the character or role they played in the movie or television show they were from  and not based on their actual personality (obviously, seeing as I have never met any of them in person, unfortunately).

Either that or I judged my crushed based on physical “hotness” and sex appeal. Like Bar Rafeli, c’mon, she’s a friggin knockout.

Now, listen to my new theory on celebrity crushes. Part of the reason we all lust over and crave certain famous people so hard is becasue we know we can never have them!

It’s all about the challenge. The odds of me actually forming a real adult dating relationship with Kate Winslet are extremely EXTREMELY small, which is why she’s even hotter in my eyes. Think about it, it makes total sense.

We all know we always want what we can’t have. When you were growing up and the girl from high school who openly had a crush on you started dating someone else, you had a strange sense come over you that made you want to date her, right? This is the same thing!

Us normal folk will never be able to date celebrities, and therefore we will put the on pedestals for the rest of their, and our, lives. Admiring their physical beauty and overall hotness.
