I'm still getting hate/love mail about my confession article regarding my preference for nerdy men.
Some of you are claiming it's a fetish. Whatever! But, I also know I'm not the only one who is attracted to bookish-brainy-socksmismatched fellas.
A few guys have weighed in on their love of nerdy women, too. My husband, for one, has this thing about librarians in black plastic glasses. (There's a game that goes with that but that's another story...) My brother-in-law even admitted he's in love with Julia Louis-Dreyfrus.
Being the curious sort, I'm wondering if I've missed out on some high-quality celebrity nerds? So I'm compiling a list...purely for research purposes, of course (wink)...of sexy celebrity nerds. Maybe we'll end up with a Top 10 list.
My nomination for the list (one at a time please): Harry Connick, Jr.

Morgan Webb, though I think she's more of a geek than a nerd (there is a difference)
Mary Lynn Rajskub (aka Cloe on 24)
Alyson Hannigan (not so much of a nerd lately, but back in her Buffy days she reigned supreme)
Lisa Loeb (the glasses qualify her as a nerd)
Velma Dinkley (c'mon, you know she had a rockin bod under that turtleneck sweater)
So, yes, Johnny Depp. Sexiest nerdy pirate there is. :)
Feel free to say it again if you want.
Sarah Silverman
Pauley Perrette
My nomination for a hot nerd is: Barack OBama.
*wipes drool from mouth.
How about Christina Ricci? I've been crushing on her ever since she played Wendnesday Addams (it's not that creepy, I was in grade school or middle school at the time too).
I also thought Wesley was hot. He wasn't at first but then he got a little stranger and a lot hotter.
