Valentine's Day Surprises from eCRUSH.com, Teen Central: Teens Rate Most Kissable Celebs, Paris Hilton and Napoleon Dynamite Are Oddest Couple

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 12, 2007 -- Who are the most kissable, date-worthy celebrities this V-Day, according to teen girls and guys? eCRUSH (www.ecrush.com) polled more than one thousand young trendsetters to find out their fantasy valentines.

The results:

28% said Jessica Alba is the most crush-worthy female celebrity this Valentine's Day. Jessica beat out Beyoncé (24%), Lindsay Lohan (16%), Keira Knightley (14%) and Scarlett Johansson (8%).

23% said Zac Efron from High School Musical is the most crush-worthy male celeb, beating out cutie standby's Chad Michael Murray (21%), Brad Pitt (18%), Justin Timberlake (16%) and Nick Lachey (9%).

When we asked for a "fantasy hook-up" out of 63 celebrity combinations, teens proved they've been watching too much "Beauty and the Geek." The number one fantasy couple? Paris Hilton and Napoleon Dynamite. Second runner up was Ashley Tisdale and Adam Brody, and in third place, Carrie Underwood and Johnny Depp.

38% say that Tyra Banks is the daytime talk show host most deserving of a big box of chocolates this Valentine's Day. Oprah (25%), Rachael Ray (16%) and Dr. Phil (11%) were distant runners-up.

Good news, Tobey Maguire - 37% of teens said Spiderman would get the most carnations if superheroes went to their high school. (And we thought for sure that Hiro from "Heroes" - getting a mere 10% of the vote - would be the winner.)

And the celeb least likely to get a valentine? 37% of teens give the honor to George Bush. Would-be burger flipper Kevin Federline came in second with 23%.
