So, you have to wonder if Amy Robach is even the teeniest bit embarrassed.
Yesterday, the “Weekend Today” show anchor married Andrew Shue, best known as heartthrob Billy Campbell on “Melrose Place.”
They met for the first time at a book party last April, but Amy watched “Melrose Place” while she was in college. Now she is married to one of her old TV show crushes. Is that weird?
Think back to the actors in television shows who captured your imagination in the past, and then think about meeting them — and marrying them – now.
Would you even want to?
I had a huge thing for Parker Stevenson, who starred in “The Hardy Boy Mysteries” back in the day, but I certainly don’t harbor any secret fantasy about Parker rounding the corner and sweeping me off my feet. (I actually think that would be really weird…especially knowing he used to be married to Kirstie Alley. Icky.)
I also loved Kent McCord, who played a police officer on “Adam 12.” I just looked up Kent McCord on imdb.com, and he’s still acting, and still good-looking!
And heck — I’ll admit it. I have a current TV crush on Nathan Fillion, of ABC’s “Castle.” He’s welcome on my corner here in NYC anytime.
So…I think I just answered my own question.
Congrats, Amy and Andrew.
My early crush was Leif Garrettson… did you see the news on February 2 that he was arrested again for possession of narcotics. Black Tar Heroin was found in his shoe. After denying having any drugs on his body, he finally admitted to police that he had black tar heroin in his shoe. He posted $10,000 bail and was charged with a felony count of heroin possession.
SUPER ICK!
