| Mark Wahlberg went on a USO tour to Afghanistan Posted: 31 Dec 2010 07:50 AM PST
Mark Wahlberg has spent several days just before the holidays in Afghaniston, doing a USO tour of the United States Marine Corps base located in Helmand Province, Camp Leatherneck. These are some of the great photos, and you can see more here at the USO's site. According to the USO site, Mark screened The Fighter for the servicemen and women, he toured the 443 acre camp, and he spent days meeting Marines, taking photos, eating with the troops, and even meeting wounded soldiers. It's all pretty awesome, and some of the photos brought a tear to my eye. Gah! All I need is some schmaltzy patriotism to get me going. Show me a photo of a little girl holding an American flag, waving to someone in uniform, and I'm balling. But of course there is another side to it - Mark is promoting The Fighter, which he not only stars in, but produces. He wants the film to make money, and he wants, at the very least, to get Christian Bale an Oscar. Mark would probably also like an Oscar nomination for himself, and maybe Amy Adams too. So there is a dose of "Look, Academy voters, I spent the holidays on a USO tour!" BUT - the awesomeness of Mark spending all of this time in Afghanistan rather than on some beach far outweighs any personal or professional benefit he gets. Plus, I'm sure the troops loved meeting him. I know many of you seem to think he's a tool, but - just my opinion - he's maturing into one of the nicest and most professional dudes out there. Go here to find out more about the USO, and go here to donate.

| Hot Guy Friday: Our Official Top Ten Hot Guys of 2010 Posted: 31 Dec 2010 07:41 AM PST
This is our year-in review of hot guys, and it is in no way scientific or comprehensive. It is just CB and I emailing a few times with names, and our patron saint Tom Ford up there giving us the half-smirk of approval. Also, this is only a top-ten list of who we consider "the dudes who had the best year". CB and I are trying to reformat HGF so in the year to come, it isn't so time-consuming for us. We're thinking about doing this kind of "top guys of the week" list format from here on out, that way we would have some kind of limit to the featured men, so it's not just one huge, random list. You will still be able to request men, and requests will still be honored, just not all at once. And again, there is absolutely no science to HGF, other than "What photos Kaiser wants to use/can find". So, let's begin, shall we? These are our Top Ten Men of 2010: 10. David Gandy - He actually did have a good year, but he makes the list just because this was the first year I actually saw photos of him, put a name to a face, and made him my beloved Forever Dong. Gandy's modeling career reached new heights this year, as he became the most popular male model in Britain, and was even in competition for "Best Model of Year" at the British Fashion Awards, the only male model in a group of women. His contract with Dolce & Gabbana was extended, and he's still the "face" of several Dolce campaigns. He's even appearing in Dolce commercials in America now! He also appeared on Jonathan Ross's show, his first major television appearance, and earned himself even more fans with his easy-going nature and humility:
9. Christian Bale - (By CB) Bale showed us a softer side this year when he earnestly tried to give some decent interviews to promote The Fighter and seemed like he was trying to bring it down a notch. He’s considered the frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor category at this year’s Academy Awards. This guy has a well documented anger management problem, and some obvious issues that go along with that, but he’s also an incredibly talented actor and is easy on the eyes when he’s not pin thin. This may be the year Bale played the Hollywood game well enough to earn that statue.
8. Leonardo DiCaprio - Leo had another really great year, and once again, he doesn't get the same kind of respect for it. Is it because of his dirt-lip? Is it because he doesn't have a lot of personal, private drama that plays out in public? Is it because he's figured out how to play the Hollywood game so well that it looks effortless? I tend to think it's the dirt-lip thing. Between Shutter Island and Inception (both number one films), Leo made Hollywood a lot of money this year - the two films grossed something insane, like more than $400 million domestically, not even internationally. BUT - Leo and Inception are being shut out of awards, probably because science fiction doesn't get a lot of love. Still, you've got to hand it to Leo.
7. Alex Skarsgard - (By CB) This svelte swede won our hearts (nether regions) in 2010 with his smoldering performances on True Blood, his earnest interviews, and his willingness to go naked for his craft for extended periods of time. He lost a lot of points for dating that insect creature, but is too fine a specimen to pass up despite his obvious shortcomings when it comes to the opposite sex. Look for Skarsgard in two major films coming out next year.
6. Anthony Mackie - Mackie might seem like an odd choice, but he really has become an increasingly household name - if your household is made up of directors, producers and casting directors. Even though he didn't personally get nominated for an Oscar for his performance in The Hurt Locker, he (jointly with Jeremy Renner), got a lot of attention when The Hurt Locker won Best Picture and Best Director. Mackie went from a barely-known character actor to an in-demand cusp-of-A-lister. He currently has six films in various stages of production, and we'll be seeing much more of him in the years to come. Oh, and there are rumors that he and Leighton Meester could be on… which would be incredibly cute.
5. Ben Affleck & Matt Damon - (By CB) I remember 1997 when these adorable guys won the Oscar and gave one of the most memorable and enthusiastic acceptance speeches. (In my lovelorn estimation.) They’ve since matured to become admirable family men and strong forces in the entertainment business. 2010 marked Affleck’s well received second turn as a director, with critically and commercially successful The Town. Damon worked tirelessly in film and still managed to spoof himself whenever possible (including a hilarious turn on 30 Rock) and work daddy duty with four girls, including a newborn. I would love to see these two take home separate Oscars this year.
4. James Franco - (By CB) Franco manages to balance a hefty academic career with nonstop work, promotion, and even a foray into modern art. He’s a renaissance man with a real joy for life. This year saw him accepted into Yale for a Ph.D program, earning a hosting spot at the Oscars, opening his own art exhibition, starring on General Hospital, and in several films. He has at least five movies coming out next year and has shown no sign of stopping. Plus, he’s said to be incredibly approachable and kind to fans. This was Franco’s year.
3. Colin Firth - This was the year that Colin Firth became The Actor. In his early days, he was a hearthrob, he was Mr. Darcy, he was the dude with the sideburns and the wet white shirt. But earlier this year, Colin got his first Oscar nomination for A Single Man, a film that barely got wide release, so most people saw it through rentals this year. In that film, Colin all of a sudden became The Actor. The actor of his generation that people will remember and talk about. The actor who will always work, and who will always do interesting work. Then, if his groundbreaking and career-redefining turn in A Single Man wasn't enough, he ends the year with The King's Speech. Firth is considered the leading contender for the Oscar for The King's Speech, and if he wins it, it will just be the icing on a spectacular cake. Oh, and he turned 50 years old this year. And he celebrated it with his wife (his first and only) and their two sons.
2. Ryan Gosling - Sigh… what can you even say about Ryan Gosling? He had two films out this year, his first in several years. While All Good Things is sinking without a trace, Ryan's work in Blue Valentine will likely score him his second Best Actor Oscar nomination, solidifying him as one of the few "great" actors of up-and-coming generation. He turned 30 years old this year too. Oh, and he's really hot. And I like the way he talks about the female orgasm like it's not a mystery to him. Too bad he’s slipping Blake Lively his Gosdong. BOO.
1. Jon Hamm. The Hamm has to be Number One. You know why? Because The Hamm goes commando, just for the hell of it. Because The Hamm got the shaft when People Magazine named Douchey McGerbil Ryan Reynolds as their Sexiest Man Alive. Because The Hamm continues to bring the shiz on Mad Men, four season and counting. Because The Hamm needs to win more awards, NOW. Because one of the greatest moments of television history was seeing Don Draper in a suit and sunglasses standing on the New York street while Mick Jagger belts out "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". Because The Hamm also rocked in The Town, proving that he can play a steely, hard-ass law-enforcement type. Because The Hamm is a gentleman and a feminist who talks about women and relationships and gender equality like a fully-functioning adult. Because The Hamm doesn't screw around on his girlfriend of more than a decade. And mostly because of the commando thing. The Hamm Dong Returns in 2011!

| Kim Kardashian’s new hair: the Armenian Bo Derek, or is it just fug? Posted: 31 Dec 2010 06:37 AM PST
Kim Kardashian changed her hair. Alert the media! Eh. Anyway, these are photos of Kim Kardashian out and about in LA yesterday. Her new hair is… Bo Derek-esque cornrows. Now, I used to think Kim was very pretty - before she seriously jacked her face to the point where she now looks like a cat (kat). But even with her old, pretty face, this hair would not work. At all. Anyway, it appears that is going to the gym (or coming from the gym) in these photos. You know why? Because when she spent two months in NYC, she didn't work out at all. And the tabloids made note of it!
[From Life & Style] Eh, I still don't believe she is now or ever was a size two. I'm not criticizing her for being voluptuous, at all. I like her figure. It's a very lovely, old-fashioned hour-glass figure. But the bitch is not a size two. Also - bitches, stop bringing your Hermes Birkin bags to the gym! That's not the place for them!!

| LeAnn Rimes shows off her new boob job in Mexico Posted: 31 Dec 2010 06:10 AM PST
These are photos of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian on vacation in Mexico yesterday. There are probably going to be lots of photos of LeAnn in a bikini, because I've already seen several groups, and she's wearing different bikinis in each. She's showing off. Speaking of, I've been seeing the comments about LeAnn Rimes' alleged boob job, and I hear you. I had a twinge of wonderment when I saw LeAnn is that Christmas bustier - her bust looked slightly larger, but I passed it off on the bustier. Now I completely agree - she got her natural boobs (probably barely a B-cup) enlarged to a C or D-cup. Also, she's lost quite a bit of weight over the past year, which only makes the new boob job look even more like they're bolted on to her skeletal frame. Many of you already did the investigative work and determined that LeAnn had probably gotten her boobs done shortly after Thanksgiving, when she and Eddie seemed to be uncharacteristically low-key for a few weeks. They were barely pap'd (meaning that LeAnn wasn't calling them), and then suddenly, her new boobs get the press rollout with some Twit-pics and now bikini photos. So LeAnn isn't pregnant, she just got some new boobs for Eddie. Oh, LeAnn. You can get all the C-cups you want, he's still going to cheat on you.

| Camille Grammer rejects Kelsey’s $30 mil offer; not getting prenup with 4th wife Posted: 31 Dec 2010 06:04 AM PST
Meanwhile The Post may have a good explanation for why Kelsey is so eager to marry his 29 year-old flight attendant fiance, Kayte Walsh. They report that his rep denies that he’s marrying her because she needs a visa to stay in the US. Many of you have speculated that she’s pregnant again, but this visa angle should have occurred to me. Kelsey is said to be marrying Kayte without a prenup, because “he knows she’s the one and wouldn’t insult her by asking her to sign a pre-nup.” The dumb bastard.
[From The NY Post] You know that Camille doesn’t give a whit about her kids and barely ever sees them. She has four nannies that work in shifts so that she’s never responsible for caring for them. And if Kelsey’s “public makeout sessions” with Kayte bother her, what’s her excuse for carrying on with that Nick guy back when she thought that Kelsey was still her loyal husband? Nick even went to Vegas to be with her when Kelsey wasn’t there and she called him her “rent-a-husband.” I’m torn about this, because I do feel if Camille ran Kelsey’s businesses with him and supported him through his sobriety she deserves her share. $30 million is astronomical though, and considering what a nasty opportunistic person Camille is, I would love to see her get a taste of life on five figures a year. Here’s a clip of Camille with Nick. (It only plays for US visitors, sorry about that!) And Camille doing a lap dance for Adrienne’s husband:

| Former Playmate on group sex with Hef, stifling life in the mansion Posted: 31 Dec 2010 05:48 AM PST
St. James’ story is consistent with other accounts, although see may focus more on how restrictive, stifling and dirty it was at the mansion while she was there. Here are the highlights from the Huffington Post, and compare them to this account from a former Playmate. The details of Hef’s Wednesday and Friday sex sessions are very similar. James’ memoir Bunny Tales came out in 2006, so you may have heard some of this before.
[From The Daily Mail via The Huffington Post] So for $52,000 cash a year, presumably tax free, free rent, free chef-prepared food and free plastic surgery on their birthdays, these live-in Playmates had to be home at 9pm every night, go out with Hefner twice a week and have unprotected sex with him twice a week. Their living conditions weren’t the cleanest because they had little dogs that they didn’t clean up after. They dealt with older furniture and the residue from countless tramps accumulated over decades. I remember watching “Girls Next Door” and thinking that the mansion looked small, cramped and old so this isn’t surprising. Is Hef giving up his lifestyle with a house full of kept completely inappropriately younger women (the twins were just 19 when they took up with him last year) now that he’s engaged to a woman 60 years his junior? I doubt it. People has a photo of Hef’s fiance Crystal Harris’ ring and it’s not huge or anything. He probably saved the money over a few weeks from paring down the women he paid to stay in his house.

| Marc Anthony owes $3.4 million in back taxes Posted: 31 Dec 2010 05:47 AM PST
I’ve always had the impression that Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez lived way about their means. They’re obviously multimillionaires but you hear a lot about their life of excess with multiple mansions and lavish parties. Anthony owed about $2.5 million in back taxes to New York state in 2007 after he failed to file returns for four years in a row. When these two received a reported $6 million for their first photo spread with the twins (in People) they didn’t seem to donate any of it to charity, because if they did you know we would have heard about it. I assumed back that that Anthony and Lopez used the twin photo money to pay off their tax debt. Now Anthony is in trouble with the IRS again, and owes a total of $3.4 million in federal and state taxes.
[From Radar] So if Anthony already got busted in 2007 for failing to pay taxes, you think he would wise up and hire someone decent to manage his money and ensure that his taxes got paid. He can’t just blame other people for it this time. The Huffington Post points us to a 2008 article in People Magazine that estimated that Jennifer Lopez makes about $20 million a year from her fashion and merchandising deals while Anthony brings home about $11 million. Lopez’s American Idol contract is said to be worth about $12 million. The Lopez-Anthonys just bought a a new $10 million estate in the Hollywood Hills. It is 17,129 square feet and has nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a media room, recording studio and guest houses. They also own two mansions next to each other in Long Island and a condo in Miami. How can they be bothered to pay taxes when they have so many mansions, staff, cars and luxury goods to maintain?

| Is Matt Bellamy trying to dump Kate Hudson after seven months together? Posted: 31 Dec 2010 05:44 AM PST
Kate Hudson has been loved up with Muse's Matthew Bellamy for much of the year. She jumped on him a couple of months after Alex Rodriguez dumped her, and, much like she does in every single relationship, Kate fell head over heels and began parading Matt around immediately. Well… maybe that's unfair. They haven't walked any red carpets together, and I've been feeling - especially in the past few months - that Kate is trying to keep this relationship slightly private. I think that because there's aren't a lot of recent photos of the two of them, but there may be another reason for that. According to Star Magazine, Matt is a little bit over Kate. To the point where he's asked for a "break".
[From Star Magazine, print edition] Yeah, it sounds like he's trying to dump her. As soon as a guy starts saying junk like "I do love you, and that's why I think we should spend less time together" he's trying to find a way to dump you. Of course, we are talking about Kate Hudson, the woman who introduces one-night-stands to her parents and her son. I’m not trying to slut-shame her, I’m just saying that in general, Kate might want to take it down a notch. She tends to go overboard, so maybe it's nothing.

| Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie take a tour of St. John’s Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center Posted: 31 Dec 2010 05:27 AM PST
Just after celebrating Christmas in Namibia (with Empress Zahara's magnificent shank-eye), the Jolie-Pitt family made their way to Missouri for the new year. That's where Brad's entire family lives - his parents, his brother Doug and his sister Julie, and all of their families. A few days ago, Angelina and the girls were spotted at a Springfield Barnes & Noble (photo here) and a K-Mart. Radar reports that they were only in town a few days before they flew to yet another destination (unknown). But before they left, Brad and Angelina took a tour of the St. John's Jane Pitt Pediatric Cancer Center, the center which Brad and Angelina helped fund through their foundation (photo here):
[From People] That was nice of them. I like how focused they are on drawing attention to local Missouri charities as well as international charities. I think part of it is that Brad's brother Doug is some big deal in Missouri… there were even rumors that Doug was considering a run for public office, which would be interesting. Anyway, happy New Year to the Jolie-Pitts. May they bring us more gossip in 2011.

| Did Bill Clinton really tell Hillary that she needs to go to a “fat farm”? Posted: 31 Dec 2010 04:58 AM PST
Now let me just say at the beginning that I found this National Enquirer story to be both extremely insulting, as well as genuinely amusing. Is it sexist? Sure. But it's also kind of funny. According to the Enquirer, Hillary Clinton has been stress eating like a madwoman, and she's put on quite a bit of weight just in the past five months or so. I'm putting photos up of Hillary in the past two months, and while it does look like she's put on a little weight, it's not the "40 pounds in 4 months" that the Enquirer claims. My guess is 15-20 pounds in 4 months. Stress eating is a bitch, and I can't even imagine Hillary's stress level as Secretary of State. So I'm giving her a pass, in general, one woman to another. Hillary, if you want to come over for some cookies, cream pies and cocktails, I'm here. If anything, the idea that Hillary is a stress eater who downs cream pies in between pouring over diplomatic cables makes me like her even more. But the truly funny part comes when the Enquirer tries to convince us that Bill Clinton doesn't like Hillary's weight gain. Um, who buys that? Bubba loves chubby girls. Always has, always will.
[From The National Enquirer, print edition & online edition] Yeah. Bubba never told Hillary that she needed to go to a fat farm. First of all, if he did say that, Hillary would smack the crap out of him. Second of all, he didn't say it. He probably told her she never looked better. As I said, Bubba loves "a little extra" on his women. Oh, and my third point - I kind of don't buy that Hillary and Bubba even spend that much time together any more. Why would Bubba be monitoring Hillary's weight when he's probably flying all over on party jets with hookers? Just a thought. Also… if Hillary is concerned about this, while she comes over for pies, cocktails and cookies, I'm going to share my wisdom about never wearing horizontal stripes.
