Who's the hottest? Which celebs trip our lesbian triggers these days? Chrisanne Eastwood asked six women and got some eye-opening answers. (Sorry, Angelina).


THE 18-YEAR OLD

Jen Wohlner, Matthew Shepard Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998) was an American student at the University of Wyoming who was fatally attacked near Laramie, on the night of October 6 – October 7, 1998 in what was widely reported by international news media as a savage  Point Scholarship winner:

Katherine Moennig Katherine Sian Moennig (born 29 December, 1977) is an American actress known for her role as Shane McCutcheon on The L Word. Personal life
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she is the daughter of Broadway dancer Mary Zahn and violin maker William Moennig.
 (Shane of The L Word). "It's her low-slung pants, her hair, her lips, her whole fashion style. She takes androgyny Androgyny
Hermaphrodites

Iphis

Cretan maiden reared as boy because father ordered all daughters killed. [Gk. Myth.
 to a whole new level."

M.I.A. The U.K. musician-performance artist is hot because her unique style "embraces the rebel in all of us." Her video for "Galang" makes Jen want to "take M.I.A, a can of spray paint, and tag the town."

David Beckham. Dykes dig Beckham? "Hell, yeah," says Jen. His hot tats, high socks, and ponytail bend genders like a Beckham corner kick.

THE 20-SOMETHING

Jasmyne Cannick, writer-activist, National Black Justice Coalition board member:

Meshell Ndegeocello was Jasmyne's "coming-out crush." "If they could bottle her deep and sexy voice, I'd dab it on my lips."

Kelis, whose "Milkshake" brings all the boys to the yard, gets Jasmyne to show up as well. "I like that she's always trying to reinvent herself."

Sheryl Crow. Huh? "I am her number 1 black fan. Her voice, her photogenic photogenic /pho·to·gen·ic/ (-jen´ik)

2. producing or emitting light.

THE 30-SOMETHING

Rachel Kramer Bussel Rachel Kramer Bussel (b. 1975) is an author, columnist, editor, and sex educator.[1] She previously studied at the New York University School of Law and earned her bachelor's degree in Political Science and Women's Studies from the University of California, Berkeley. , author and editor. Her latest book is Glamour Girls: Femme/Femme Erotica erotica - pornography  (Haworth Press):

Creative and artistic nonconformists make Rachel swoon. "Beautiful, smart, and talented equals Guinevere Turner. And her sex scene in The Watermelon watermelon, plant (Citrullus vulgaris) of the family Curcurbitaceae (gourd family) native to Africa and introduced to America by Africans transported as slaves. Watermelons are now extensively cultivated in the United States and are popular also in S Russia.  Woman made me wear out my rewind button."

n.
1. Slang One who is femme.

2. Informal A woman or girl.
. "She's quirky and wacky and has great boobs, but she also makes these amazing cupcakes. It would be awesome to date a cupcake baker." And lick her beaters.

Britney Spears. OK, you've got to be kidding me. "Motherhood has made her adorable, and her marital woes make you wonder where she'll go next." Could K-Fed's foibles inspire a lesbian afterlife? Sounds 'Toxic."

Saskia Webber, TV host, 1999 World Cup soccer champion:

Jordana Brewster (D.E.B.S.) can red-card Saskia anytime. "Her diverse interracial in·ter·ra·cial  
adj.
Relating to, involving, or representing different races: interracial fellowship; an interracial neighborhood.
 look gives her the sexiest features ... curves, booty, bust. It's all good."

Saskia would like to get behind Jessica Alba as well. "Great body and an arrogant edge get me every time."

Saskia admits that she was Bound to Gina Gershon while in her 20s, but she's since moved on. "I can't get behind someone with no behind."

THE 40-SOMETHING

Di Keller, master of family therapy degree candidate, mother, and my partner:

Frances McDormand is "obviously intelligent and very genuine, but her Laurel Canyon poolside make-out with Kate Beckinsale was one for the ages."

"Diane Keaton has substance. She was always sexy, but age has made her beautiful."

"Maggie Gyllenhaal is my guilty pleasure. Crawling on all fours in Secretary was just plain hot." I hear and obey, my dear.

THE 50-SOMETHING

Gloria Bleezarde, actress, Ed Sullivan Show regular:

"What really makes Susan Sarandon hot is her politics." And tonsil tonsil

Small mass of lymphoid tissue in the wall of the pharynx. The term usually refers to the palatine tonsils on each side of the oropharynx. They are thought to produce antibodies to help prevent respiratory and digestive tract infection but often become infected
 hockey with Catherine Deneuve doesn't hurt.

Michelle Rodriguez (ABC's Lost). "What can I say? I'm a sucker for dominant Latina women." And doing hard time gives her mad street cred.

Sigourney Weaver. The star of four Alien movies "was our first action hero. There is nothing sexier than saving the world."

And for me? Meryl Streep, Annabeth Gish, and Catherine Keener. Dinner, drinks, poker, anything. Just bring it, bitches.
