The New York Times did an article on fitness guru Jackie Warner and the return of her popular reality show,Work Out, on Bravo. Instead of focusing on the show itself the article addressed the girl-crushes some straight, middle-aged women have for Ms. Warner. Said one fan,

“I’m straight. Very straight, and even I would seriously consider batting for her team.”

Really? Jackie is obviously fit and she’s far from unattractive, but should the opportunity/inclination arise, she would not top my list. Which stars would? I’m glad you asked.

Top 5 Middle Aged Lesbian Celebrities I Would Go Gay For Before Jackie Warner

5. Jodie Foster

She’s still got it after 40+ years in the business. Biggest turn-off? Panic Room.

4. Batwoman

DC Comics outed the nocturnal heroine in 2006 to diversify its roster. Robin would have been a more likely choice but Batwoman looks a lot better in the leather jumpsuit.

3. Ellen Degeneres

I envy her dance skills. Plus I have this feeling we’d kick ass at Pictionary. Why do I have the feeling she just gets me?

2. Cynthia Nixon

She plays my favorite character on Sex And The City but my relationship with her would all be in an effort to get closer to her fancy shoes.

1. Queen Latifah

While it’s not confirmed, Queen has done everything but march in the Pride Parade with long-time companion Jeanette. Why does she land at the top spot? Take a cue from her character in Chicago, “When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you.”

Who did I leave out? Feel like making a case for Jackie Warner? Spill in the comments!
