Obviously he does this to get a reaction from you ie jealousy. I had a boyfriend that was like this at your age and I threw it back at him by saying things like " Yes she is really gorgeous so what makes you think she would want to be with you?" Dead silence. It is common for guys to fantasize about women they can't have BUT to compare you to these celebrities is unfair as women come in all shapes and sizes and this year's theme for International Women's Day on March 8th is shaping the future- looking beyond the stereotypes of what is beautiful on the outside and looking inward for beauty and for women to celebrate being women and not being barbie dolls. We women can be beautiful no matter what size we are and our dress size does not define who we are as a person as this is not a true reflection of who we are and does not show our true beauty. I would just to get back at him hire some movies with your favourite actor, mine would be Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom ,Russell Crowe,Joaquin Phoenix and just sit there audibly exclaiming mmmmmmm and totally ignore him for the night and he will either get the message and stop his childish crap or he will become more intolerable. If he becomes more of a mindless twit then girlfriend move on and have a girls night in with your favourite actors and have a drool fest. You deserve to be treated with respect and he deserves a taste of his own medicine. David Wenham would have to be my favourite Aussie actor and anything I watch with him in all I hear him say is blah blah blah cause I am too busy drooling. Good luck mate.

 oh my god i feel the same, my bf has an obsession with latino women, and constantly makes jokey comments about eva longoria n j-lo, it really makes me feel unadequate and not beautiful at all. and then i come back with a comment about a fit male celeb, it doesnt seem to affect him at all. i thinkat the end of the day, if we all had our own make up artist, hair stylists n surgeons we would all look just as gd, n fact of the matter, im beautiful and its all down to me n my natural beauty ;) x

 There no threat to you, dont worry about it. As long as you dnot catch him with Brittney spears in a mall or something you have nothing to worry about at all. It may make you a little uneasy and if thinking about it this way doesnt fix it then tell him how you feel about it and ask him to stop. He will probably at least talk about it less.
Just dont let it make you super jealouse of every girl around you, as long as he stays true to you and doesnt cheat.
Good Luck

 I can be just as insecure. Just keep reminding yourself that it is you that he is with. My bf doesn't do that anymore after I told him it made me jealous.

 I think you should talk to him about it because holding in how you feel only makes you suffer and you don't deserve that. You deserve some one who makes you feel good about yourself. And when you talk to him about it, maybe he'll realise what he's doing and change what he's doing or maybe he won't.
And if he gets all mad at you about it and makes you feel bad then I would say leave him.
Don't feel bad and blame yourself for how you feel. It's normal to feel that way because your boyfriend's attention needs to be on you. Not other girls, especially celebs.
And look for someone who will make you feel prettier than a celeb.
But you know celebs really don't look like that, right? They spend hours and hours putting on pounds of make up. And they really don't look picture perfect when they just roll out of bed.
I hope i helped.
love,
M!

 stop judging against eachother. change your response when he does it. many times guys do that because they like your response, (think it's cute), if he doesn't get a good response, he'll get board doing it and it will decrease.

 1) Tell him he's starstruck and annoying 2) Do it as well 3) Do it about anyone passing 4) Start wearing low top, short skirt and talking about what sex might be like with that boy who went by 5) Find yourself a new b/f who isn't starstruck 6) Become a model or famous actress 7) Apply to Big Brother
