The Band Perry, who just released their new single, a remake of Glen Campbell’s 1967 song “Gentle on My Mind,” would probably be considered a lot of people’s celebrity crushes, but they admit they have their own famous crushes. Kimberly Perry says, “Mine is a toss-up. If you could mash Taylor Kitsch from that show Friday Night Lights up with Ryan Gosling, that would be my celebrity crush.”
Reid says Megan Fox is who does it for him, and Neil says, “For me it’s Charlize Theron, in Snow White. Mmm, oh yeah!”
Someone pointed out to Neil that Charlize was evil in the movie Snow White and the Huntsman, but he laughs and says, “I know! That makes her even hotter!”
