This pretty much rules. Wish I had made this. Gotta love how he walks around town with a huge picture of Rick Moranis (it's from Little Shop of Horrors by the way... swoon...).

This is from one of my favorite albums of the '80s, the soundtrack to "Streets of Fire." Diane Lane played a famous rock singer named Ellen Aim who had a weasely manager-boyfriend, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis, and the reason I watched this movie over and over, of course) but whose true love was a bad boy by the name of Tom Cody (Michael Pare). You have to love those characters' names. I'm struggling with remembering the plot, but I think Ellen Aim gets kidnapped and Tom Cody is hired by Billy Fish to get her back.

This is from the end of the movie, where Ellen Aim puts on her big rock show. I love, love, love this song. "And if I can't get an angel I can still get a boy, and a boy'd be the next best thing, the next best thing to an angel."

Who was your first celebrity crush?

I think the first one I can remember was David Naughton from An American Werewolf in London (and also the "Be a Pepper" commercials), but that didn't last too long. I think the most significant crush I had growing up was on... and I think I've admitted this before... Rick Moranis. Yes, you heard me right. Cute as hell and funny to boot (or "aboot"). I watched SCTV every Friday night waiting for Bob & Doug, Merv Griffin, Jerry Todd, or any of his other characters to show up. I thought he was freaking adorable. Still do, actually.

With that in mind, you know this scene from Parenthood just made me swoon:
