Friday Eye Candy-Cougar Bait Edition
Last week I asked you all what younger celebrity makes you feel like a cougar and I got such a huge response. I’m thinking there are a LOT of “cougars” reading my blog and that makes me happy. I’m not sure why. I guess I just like knowing that I’m not the only perv out there. 
I thought I would start out with my two picks for cougar bait.
The first is Shia LeBeouf (22), who is also on Jean’s list.
Now Jean says she prefers him when he isn’t “getting DUI’s and stuff” but I actually find that to be somewhat of a turn-on. Doesn’t he look like such a bad boy in his mug shot? 
Of course, I’m totally being sarcastic. I have never in my life seen a more adorable mug shot. Seriously, he is just adorable!!
My second pick is Josh Peck (21), from Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh. My kids are obsessed with that show and I couldn’t help but notice how handsome he was becoming over the course of the show as the series went on.
Now I know that he used to be really overweight and somewhat dorky, but he lost an amazing 110 pounds and grew into this really hot guy. Watch out Drake Bell! I think you are going to have some competition with the ladies. (To be completely honest, I saw potential in him even in his chubby days. This is so pathetic, but I can’t wait for the Drake and Josh Christmas movie.)
Moving right along…
Nik from Prose and Converse was kind enough to email me a whole list of cougar bait. Here is who she thought should make our list:
Zac Efron (20)
Billy Marquart (21) - Model
Cody Linley (20)–He really is 20 years old but I couldn’t find a picture where he looks older than 14. I’m seriously hoping no one alerts the authorities for me putting him on our list.
And last but definitely not least from Nik’s picks is David Henrie. I almost wish she hadn’t put him on her list because he is only 19 and oh my goodnes is he a cutie!!! He almost makes me want to run out to the store to buy a copy of Tiger Beat magazine and tape his picture to my bedroom wall. Don’t you agree?
Now, here are the rest of your picks. The rule I made for whether or not to include them was that the guys had to be under 30 and over 18. (Sorry, I’m not about to be arrested for you crazy cougars. Plus, any younger and it is getting creepy. I’m already feeling all kinds of guilt for posting the above picture of Cody and for wondering what it would be like to kiss David Henrie. Must. Stop. Wondering. That. Right. Now.)
Carol’s pick is James Anderson (She says he’s about 20, but he’s actually 26 so just barely cougar bait, but since he is so hot I can’t resist). He is a cricket player in England. YUM!
Emily’s pick is Daniel Radcliffe (19). Yes, that is Harry Potter himself in case you couldn’t recognize him without his cloak and glasses.
Em Dy suggested Kirby (Robert Atwood) of Lipstick Jungle. Again, pushing it by being 27, but who am I to argue with such hotness?
Nice One, Jenny and my friend Shelie have all been drooling over Olympic superstudstar Michael Phelps (23). By the way, can you spot his tattoo?
And finally, we have the pick of Jennifer, The Mom, and especially HappyHourSue. They all picked Joe Jonas(19).
I believe Sue’s exact words were “JOE JONAS!!!!!!!! (*pant pant drool *)” While I don’t see the appeal, there is no way I could ever leave him off this list. He seems to be the one guy that brings moms and tweens together because of their equally enormous crushes.

Edited to add: HOW DID I FORGET CHASE CRAWFORD (23)????
Dear Chase Crawford,
I’m sorry for forgetting about you. I really don’t know how I managed that when you are so darn cute! You can thank Patrice (a non-cougar, who is looking out for this cougar whose brain is clearly getting foggy in her old age) for helping you to make it to this list. Oh and Firah, who writes you love letters almost everyday on her blog. She gave me the inspiration for this little note.
Jen
So, who is your favorite guy in the Cougar Bait collection?
And now for this week’s Aloha Friday question. I thought we should give the older guys a turn.
If you could pick any older celebrity to be your sugar daddy who would it be?
Now, by older, I’m going to say 50+ years of age. I will combine your responses and include them on an upcoming Friday Eye Candy post.
For more Aloha Friday fun head over to An Island Life.

No one, really, on the young guys list. I like them older.
As far as a sugar daddy… hmm, maybe Pierce Brosnan? I saw Mamma Mia tonight, so I have him o the brain
[Reply]
I’m not too sure about any of those babies (and I’m 28) except that guy who plays Kirby….yum.
I’d take James Morrison for a sugar daddy. He plays Bill Buchanan on 24…I’ve always thought he was sexy on that show….
[Reply]
Oh, Pierce Brosnan for the sugar daddy. He is gorgeous even at 55. I’d take him shaken, not stirred, any day! I even saved you a step- here is a great picture of him:

OMG GREAT list! lol I would add Chase Crawford to the list but I’m younger than he is so I definitely don’t apply to be a “cougar” but I’m helping you cougars out! lol
And i think the guy who plays Kirby is actually Robert Buckley (I’ve spent a lot of time studying & drooling over him) his character is Kirby Atwood! lol
I don’t know about Joe Jonas… not sure I really see the appeal either. I’m warming up to him though.
And Zac Efron OMG. MY FAVORITE! he’s so cute!!! lol
I enjoyed this very very much!
[Reply]
Dude. So worth staying up till midnight for.
And what the heck, Josh Peck? I haven’t seen him lately and daaaang, good for him. Is it crazy that I’m proud of him?
PS Finding Phelp’s tattoo? Hi, that’s the most fun I’ve had all week.
[Reply]
Really, I thought Kirby was just 23 or 24. And yes, I found the tattoo too. Is it the Olympic logo?
[Reply]
I have to second Patrice’s nomination of Chase Crawford. I meant to say it last week, but I got distracted.
I think I have to go with Shia as my favorite from this list. He does take a remarkably cute mugshot. Am I the only one who thinks Zac Efron is annoyingly fake?
I’ll have to think about the older gents…I’ll get back to you!
[Reply]
Okay so I wanted to make sure that my picks were definitely over 50 for the sugar daddy nominations – you know I love a lot of actors in their 40’s like Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, etc. and in about 10 years I guess they can be my sugar daddies, but in the meantime I’ve narrowed it down to Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Goldblum and Denzel Washington. I think Pierce Brosnan would be the favorite though I’m wondering do I have to have just one?
[Reply]
Oh and personally none of the cougar picks do it for me, but I would have to agree with the general consensus that Chase Crawford is adorable.
[Reply]
Ok, is it just me, or does Joe Jonas have HUGE BUSHY eyebrows?! I mean come on – they look like two giant fuzzy caterpillars!
[Reply]
Harrison Ford – there is just something about Indiana Jones
[Reply]
I have a well documented crush on Michael Phelps. If being a cougar is wrong, I don’t want to be right….
[Reply]
FIrst, I have to say that Josh Peck has turned into a real cutie. I haven’t seen him lately (except for all the Drake and Josh reruns that my kids watch 9,999 times a week). But, I have to say my favorite of the young guys is Shia LeBouf. He is just so cute and so hilarious!
Okay, now I could seriously get into an older “sugar daddy”, LOL! I have always loved Dennis Quaid and Kevin Costner (sorry, I can’t just choose one).
[Reply]
Oh yes, Harrison Ford for me too. I’ve watched so much Star Wars lately with my four year old, I just love me some Harrison at any age. Yummy.
Love all the young little sheep here – so adorable. I’m sticking with my Michael Cera from last week – so so so cute and talented and the biggest turn-on for me . . . . HILARIOUS!!!! I will never get over the loss of Arrested Development
That is the best photo of Phelps I’ve seen yet. I *did* find the tattoo and now I’m giggling like a little girl!!
[Reply]
I’m going to have to be predictable and go with George Clooney.
[Reply]
Thanks for my Phelps Phix of the day. Oh yea…that tattoo. That’s in my favorite part of his body. I could look at it all day. Thank god he’s 23 because he makes me feel less cougarish than most of my other boyfriends.
You know…the whole Josh Peck thing. I didn’t even RECOGNIZE him in that picture. Whooolllly Canoli. Great shot.
Cody Linely…I feel dirty for looking at him.
[Reply]
I can’t believe I didn’t send in my cougar list!! But thank you for putting Chace and Zefron on there!! Oh yummm…Chace…
But this is truly an AWESOME list!! Although, I’m not really into Joe Jonas…or Shia…lol..I love my boys pretty with a hint of sexy!
But OMG..Chace..sighs..*clutches heart*
[Reply]
Thanks for those pics! I may have to save that picture of “Kirby Atwood” to my desktop!! And Michael Phelps-YUM-O!!
[Reply]
I have no need for a sugar daddy because Joe Jonas and I are going to be married when he gets off his tour.
[Reply]
This is quite fun! Um, how about Sean Connery? I didn’t think much of him when he was younger but as he has gotten older, well, guess I dig the gray!
And I completely agree on Harrison Ford and Pierce Brosnan.
Oh what about Daniel Craig, the new Bond? I am not usually in to blondes but in his case, I’ll make an exception.:)
[Reply]
Oh! And I forgot to include that my Sugar Daddy would definitely be Richard Gere and Colin Firth (who’s really 47 but considering I’m 24, that’s definitely Sugar Daddy age for me..
Something about those two…the gentle sensitivity…yum..
But I really do like my boys young though..hmm…
[Reply]
Shia is definatly cute but I just don’t get the Zac Efron/Joe Jonas appeal… I’ll have to think on the hot guy thing…
[Reply]
Richard Gere–hands down!!
[Reply]
Bruce Willis can be my sugar daddy!
[Reply]
I’m old fashioned I can’t look at any of those guys and go yummy….I think icky ! LOLOL I see them more as sons or really younger brothers. LOL
[Reply]
Hugh Laurie!!!!!
[Reply]
Lets see…. First, yes, Pierce Brosnan is possibly #1! He was so hot in Mamma Mia. Although his singing was definitely lacking and almost laughable, I couldn’t laugh that much b/c he was just so hot to look at! So his singing didn’t bother me at all! Others over 50 are…… Sean Connery, Michael Douglas, Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges, Mel Gibson (more back in the day but those eyes and chizzled face will always be how I remember him), Matt Lauer, James Brolin, Tom Selleck (how could everyone now fall in love with him while he was on Friends??!!!), Kurt Russell and Sam Elliott (with a mustache and cowboy hat though!).
[Reply]
Don’t have an answer for this one.
[Reply]
Well, my favorite guys up there have to be Shia and Michael Phelps. Man, LeBeof is so adorable and Phelps is just HOT HOT HOT! His teeth bother me a little, but I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers, if you know what I mean. *wink wink* My older guy crush would have to be Mel Gibson, Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot… Daniel Craig is SO HOT he is at the top of any list for me even if he isn’t old enough to qualify for sugar daddy status. Those eyes… Wait, what were we talking about?
[Reply]
I’m going to have to go with Bono. My secret boyfriend for, um, forever now. Something about the sexy-rock-star-with-a-conscious thing makes me swoon.
Can I also pick Anderson Cooper? Okay, he’s totally not over 50, but oh my freakin’ heck…LOVE him.
[Reply]
Shia is so yum, but I have to add a couple to this list of my current cougerish obsessions! Ed Westwick (Chuck on Gossip Girl) is 21 and Rafa Nadal (new No.1 Tennis player in world) is 22. I’m glad I found this site!
[Reply]
I guess I have to suck it up and call myself a cougar since I’m 33, but oh well. I’d have to say Orlando Bloom. As for older men, definitely Daniel Day Lewis who’s 51. He was so hot in “There Will be Blood” and “Gangs of New York.” I just love slim pants on a man. However he looked awful at the Oscars.
[Reply]
Oh MAN do you have a lot of comments on this one! When you get the attention of us, I mean, them! THEM cougars, boy do you get their attention!
And that’s all I’m gonna write because I must scroll steathily back up to Michael Phelps and take some more quick peeks at his tattoo. Because yes, oh yes I spied it.
Now I’m just trying to keep my munchkins from having a chance to find it too…
[Reply]
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting all the live long day to say YOUR AWESOME Jen for giving me some Shia! GRROOWWLLL!.
Ok now for some Sugar Daddy Lovin. Someone mentioned Richard Gere, he’s good but the gerbil rumor kind of ruins it for me. I’m gonna go off the beaten path and say Bruce Willis. He’s pushing 50 right?
[Reply]
I have absolutely no clue who Chase Crawford is but I’d definitely like to get to know him better. He needs exporting to the UK.
I love that you now know more about James Anderson than me. I was just watching him last night, oh I mean I was just watching the cricket last night and he happened to be playing. I am so busted, my husband totally realises that cricket is to me a huge lust-fest.
Oh and sugar daddy? George Clooney please.
[Reply]
Since Vince Vaughn is just shy of making the age cut-off, I’m going to have to go with Sam Elliott for my sugar daddy. Bring it on beefcake!
[Reply]
Well, I just can’t think of any older men that do it for me. Sorry, but I’ll have to stick with the 20-40 somethings. Even though I’m 34, I still feel 21. Maybe I’ll change my mind in a few years.
[Reply]
I would have to say George Clooney. He is over 50, right? If not, then Sean Connery.:-)
[Reply]
I’m sticking with my pic of Daniel.
As for my sugar daddy…I’d have to go with Donald Trump…but only cause he has the most money. Not because he’s hot…cause he’s not.
If it was for looks and sex appeal, it’d have to be….hmmm…….Harrison Ford. He still makes me swoon.
[Reply]
I forgot about the older guy question. Since you already know my “list”, it’s no surprise that I’d have to go with Tom Selleck. **sigh** yes, I’d be Tom’s younger woman anyday.
Guess I’d better get busy with your “Looking Fine by 2009″ if I hope to sway him with my red bikini. If I tried to lure him today… well, let’s just say he’d be very content to stay in his own age bracket. Can’t say that I blame him.
But look out come 2009 Tom! I have some plans for you.

[...] I found myself really really really looking forward to Fridays. She even gave me a shout-out on this post after I answered her call for help. (”Who’s Cougar-bait?” she pondered. My [...]
Wow, It suddenly got HOT in here! *fanning self* I am in love with:
Chase Crawford, Michael Phelps, and Zac Efron – In THAT order!
I swear I watch Gossip Girl just to see Chase! Okay so I’m only 20, and its completely acceptable to do such things, but being a mom makes me feel older than everyone else…do I count as cougar-ish?!
[Reply]
I’m def not a cougar by any means, but I think Oliver James deserves an honorable mention
My pick for sugar daddy (after finding out that George Clooney is only 47):
Sean Connery (age: 78)
[Reply]
Joe Jonas! Please replace that old pic of him with a current one. I think he’s like 17 in that pic and he’s 20 now. Plus I love his short hair, and his long hair… and his bushy eyebrows, and and…pretty eyes etc etc
