I was thrilled to hear that Dane Cook just had a birthday and turned 36. I'm so tired of so many hotties being so young that I can't have a crush on them.

Somehow, for me, the older woman, younger man thing just doesn't work. It works for other people, but even in my fantasies I can't imagine myself in a successful relationship with a significantly younger man. Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine (in the right light), that guy who plays Jim on The Office... all varying degrees of adorable, and all pathetically young. Pity.

Unfortunately, I'm getting older, so this little hang up is becoming a bigger problem. As new men debut on the celebrity scene, they tend to be young(er than me). This is getting depressing. What's life if there's no hottie on TV or the radio to fantasize about?

Thank goodness for Hugh Laurie, who is still hanging on to his hotness by the hairs on his balding head, and a few other fellows who have been able to take the place of former greats like Harrison Ford and William Petersen (who in his new, thinner state, might be regaining his hot-osity). Now maybe I can add Dane Cook to the list!
