Celebrities, they're just like us! Turns out they also obsess and geek out over outstanding and/or guilty pleasure television like we do. The latest example is one [url="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/lohan_lindsay/artist.jhtml"]Lindsay Lohan[/url], who inadvertently confessed her love of "Homeland" as the reason she was at home glued to her TV set rather than at a L.A. nightclub last Thursday where she allegedly punched a woman in the back.

The most intriguing part of this story to me, as reported by [url="http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/09/lindsay-lohan-sheriff-incident-report/"]TMZ[/url], is not that Lohan was at home instead of at a nightclub but that she was watching "Homeland." How's that for an alibi? Everyone should be watching Showtime's expertly-crafted and acted drama, led by Claire Danes and the under-appreciated Damian Lewis, even problem-plagued former child stars.

This got me thinking about other random celebrity fans of shows - those who you wouldn't peg to be familiar with, let alone obsess over certain scripted and unscripted drama. Some unexpected pairings lurk beyond the jump!



1. Comedian/Bestselling author/"Family Feud" host/Actor [url="https://twitter.com/#!/IAmSteveHarvey/statuses/75018083072352256%20"]Steve Harvey loves "Game of Thrones."[/url]

2. New Jersey native [url="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1647539/ali-larter-did-not-have-jersey-shore-youth.jhtml"]Ali Larter Loves "The Jersey Shore"[/url]. She can also go in and out of a very thick Jersey accent in order to make phrases like "Chicken Piccata" more authentic.

3. Joel McHale gives thanks for MTV's contributions to "The Soup," but [url="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/08/09/joel-mchale-the-jersey-shore-beavis-and-butthead/"]misses "Date My Mom.[/url]"

4. Fanboy/Geek God du jour [url="https://twitter.com/#!/NathanFillion/status/180147696089300992"]Nathan Fillion is a "Happy Endings" fan[/url], particularly when friends of his make guest appearances for which he can throw a party to celebrate.

5. Everyone loves "Battlestar Galactica." I'll use any excuse to sneak my BSG love into anything... my fellow fans should be familiar with a fantastic featurette that SyFy used as part of their promotion for the show back in 2008. The video seems to have been swiped from the Internets, but the [url="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-battlestar-galactica-star-fans-pg,0,3330191.photogallery"]LA Times[/url] still has a post featuring the quotes from a veritable who's who of celebrities including Joss Whedon, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Green, the cast of "Law and Order," and many more. So say we all!
