Technically speaking, I was a late bloomer. I didn’t go out on a date until I was in college and I didn’t have my first real boyfriend until I was 23. But from the time I was, oh, eight years old, my fictional romantic life flourished. In my mind, I cultivated rich, deep and emotionally complex relationships with a small handful of celebrities I thought to be my soul mates. Let’s take a walk down memory lane to meet the men I’ve never actually met who have been my Valentines over the years.

7 Great Performances From Last Night’s Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert
Last night, a whole mess of iconic musicians got together for the epic “12-12-12″ Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert, which aired on a number of different TV networks and lasted nearly six hours. While the show was definitely lacking in female performers — where were New York City legends like Patti Smith or Bette Midler?! — it was chock full of big name acts like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Alicia Keys (holdin’ it down for the ladies), Kanye West (wearing a controversial leather skirt), Paul McCartney, the remaining members of Nirvana, Billy Joel, and The Who. I couldn’t clip the whole show, obviously, but here are seven performances that I especially enjoyed!

Eddie Vedder & Jimmy Fallon Sing Hot New Protest Song, “Balls In Your Mouth”
True fact about me: I am kind of the biggest Pearl Jam fan in the world. Okay, maybe not the biggest, but pretty big. I’ve been to eight of their shows and once made a paper mache trash can with Stone Gossard’s face on it. Whatever. Anyway, the band is celebrating their 20th anniversary — which does not make me feel old in the slightest, nope, definitely not — and lead singer Eddie Vedder stopped by “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to sing a funny protest song called “Balls in Your Mouth.” This proves I truly will listen to that man bellow anything.

The Daily Hotness: Eddie Vedder
On Tuesday night, I went, by myself, all the way up to Harlem to watch Eddie Vedder perform solo. No one would come with me because of the distance and because, I suspect, they didn’t want to be seen with me, knowing I would act like a looney. And act like a looney I did! I was reminded why almost missing Pearl Jam in 1993 nearly sent me to suicide — because Eddie is just a phenomenal singer and performer. I even overlooked the fact that he appeared to be wearing white jeans, especially when he used a loop sampler to layer his own vocals to sound like a ridiculously awful but horny R&B slow jam.

The Daily Hotness: Eddie Vedder
I’ve been majorly crushing on Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder since I was 13, lived in San Diego, and made my mom drive past this house I swore he probably lived in when he was a resident of my fair city before becoming famous. Even though I’ve matured past doing drive-by’s (I don’t have a car, anyway), my love for the lusciously maned singer has not waned (ooh, rhyme!). Which is why I am seriously pissed that the tour he just announced in support of his solo effort, the soundtrack to Sean Penn’s Into The Wild, is only hitting the West Coast. Umm, Eddie, where is the love for the Midwest, South, and East Coast? Nevertheless, he is such an eternal Hot Piece of Ass, I had to celebrate him today and take this opportunity to let my bosses know I will be out of the office for a few days in April.
