| Hot Guy Friday: The Beautiful & the Donged Posted: 08 Apr 2011 08:47 AM PDT Nathan Fillion. I decided to make Nathan our headliner this week for a multitude of reasons. First of all, no one dislikes Nathan. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, he's great to his fans, and people really like his work in either Firefly or Castle (or both). I'm a Castle fan, and a few months ago I gave my DVDs to my mom, and now she's OBSESSED. Like, Hamm Dong Obsessed. Those are her two men, actually: Jon Hamm and Nathan Fillion. They are Her Men. I swear, she might even write poetry about Nathan's profile, she loves it so much. In addition to all of that, we always get requests for Nathan, and y'all are always thrilled when we acknowledge him. Oh, and another reason: he’s seriously cute. Like, he’s funny and he enfuses his characters with sweetness and he just seems accessible and cool. And finally, I decided to make him headliner because I found some INCREDIBLE vintage photos of him. They involve a bandana, too-short jean shorts and roller blades (those photos are at the end of the series). I love him!!! Eric Balfour. I've included Eric before, to mixed results. I just want to make this clear: I don't really care about him as a person, or as an actor (although he's not really a bad actor - he's moderately talented). My interest in Eric is purely carnal. My lust for him is only for his body, not his mind. He has one of those long, lanky bodies that I just adore. You could bounce quarters off of that ass. And his face… well, he's not classically handsome, but I'm very, very attracted to him. Sigh… Balfour Dong, I love thee. Idris Elba. 'Dris (his rap name, fo' real) is a regular on here, but we haven't featured him in a while. It's always nice to revisit some favorites. I love his arms. I want to lick them. Kevin Durand. I like to keep Kevin Durand in the mix, because for the longest time, I thought I was the only one who had erotic thoughts about his totally evil mercenary Keamy on Lost. Turns out, lots of people were struck by sexual urges when we saw that dead man's switch attached to his bulging bicep. And as it turns out, Durand gets a bad rap as a bad guy: many know him primarily as a comedian! Oh, and he's Canadian. And he's hot, hot, hot. Matthew Rhys. Last week I suggested that we should spend more time devoting ourselves to this lovely, sad-eyed, gorgeous-in-a-tragic-poet-way Welshman. So, here he is. I totally agree with those of you who say he's kind of Gerard Butler-esque. I see it too! That's my type too, in addition to the tall, lanky ones. I go for pasty-faced, dudes with pretty eyes and pretty accents. Now if only I could find a man who combined those two types…? (Hint: MICHAEL FASSBENDER.) Back to Matthew: some of wonder if he's gay, because he plays a gay character so well on Brothers & Sisters…? From what I can tell, he's straight. He's said as much in several interviews. Jim Caviezel. By request. You've got to understand, most of the time you ladies (and gentlemen!) request men, my immediate reaction is either "Who?!?" or "Ew, gross." There has been one commenter in particular who was so steadfast in her Jim Caviezel obsession that I tend to think she might be on his payroll. But, whatever. Here you go. I have never seen it - I actually think he looks rather smarmy and gross, and as you know, I have a pretty high tolerance for smarmy and gross (Gerard Butler). Jim reminds me of those closet-case Republicans who spend their days trying to codify gay-bashing and spend their nights paying male hookers to spank them. I'm not saying that's who Jim Caviezel is, I'm just saying that's the vibe I get from him. We have some new photos of him too - he was photographed this week filming the pilot for a new TV show, Person of Interest. Those are the pics with Michael Emerson (from Lost). Eddie Izzard. By request, and I asked my Twitter followers whether or not we should feature Eddie in drag and without. The verdict was mixed, so you're getting one drag photo, some non-drag photos, and a couple where I think Eddie is just wearing some butch eyeliner (FYI: I love eyeliner on men!). While I'm not personally all hot and bothered for him, I'm not judging those who are hot for him. He has personality, I'll give him that. Derek Luke (By CB) Derek starred in 2002’s Antwone Fisher, where he was perfect as the vulnerable Naval officer struggling to deal with his past. He hasn’t had many high profile roles since but he’s worked steadily and was on the TV show Trauma until last year. Looking at these photos of him in character for Trauma, I’m reminded of how much I love a man in uniform. He’s the fantasy police officer who responds to your scene just the way you like it. Wentworth Miller (By CB) We haven’t featured this hottie in some time. He was nice eye candy on Prison Break with those piercing eyes and that chiseled body. He was supposed to be the next big thing, but we haven’t heard much of him lately. I hope that his coming out didn’t affect his career, because he makes such a fine leading man. Scott Speedman I don’t remember seeing anything this guy has done except for Felicity, but he’s definitely a beautiful man. Scott’s got that dual appeal of a scruffy down home boy and cleaned up hottie next door. All he has to do is shave and put on a suit. I’m getting a little fluttery just looking at photos of him. He even looks great with a full beard. He looks gorgeous in just about every photo, which makes me imagine how he’s look crawling out of bed to get me a cup of coffee. Leonardo DiCaprio (By CB) Leo is our dessert today, and I declare him one of those pudding parfaits in a glass with the layered goodness and topped with berries. He’s a multi-faceted man who has forged his own way and been incredibly successful and focused at his craft. He rejected the heartthrob image post Titantic, went for a more substantive career and is one of the best (and highest paid) actors working today. He’s always been phenomenal at convincing us that he is a character, in movies from Gilbert Grape to Inception, and he has a couple of big roles coming up, in J. Edgar and The Great Gatsby. I love watching Leo on the big screen and it won’t be long before he can tack “Academy Award Winner” in front of his name. I also go for guys who take care of themselves, but still look like they enjoy a good meal and don’t spend all their free time in the gym. Leo is that guy. He goes his own way, he isn’t working to please anyone, he makes bank and that’s sexy. Bonus pic of Djimon Hounsou! (We’ll feature him again. Kimora hasn’t sucked the appeal out of him yet.)

| Renee Zellweger’s Hilfiger ads: adorable or tragic? Posted: 08 Apr 2011 08:40 AM PDT I have been utterly bewildered by everybody's super-strong opinions about Renee Zellweger's trip to Milan this week. Renee flew to Italy to promote a new Tommy Hilfiger purse, the proceeds of which go to a breast cancer charity. Renee did a day-time press-pool photo op event earlier this week, and then did an evening red carpet event, both times clad in relatively cute Hilfiger clothes. When I thought Renee's makeup is funky (the red coat photos), you yelled at me and said she looked great. When I thought Renee looked pretty good in her little green cocktail dress, a lot of you yelled at me and screamed that she looked like hell. I don't get it. Truly. Renee's face isn't looking so jacked lately, but her makeup and styling is still very hit-or-miss. That being said, I honestly don't think she looks as emaciated as she used to - she's thin and muscular, and her collarbone looks painful, but I think she looks healthier than she has in a while. Anyway, these are some new images of Renee - they are ads and promotional images she's done for this Hilfiger charity bag. According to The Mail, Renee actually collaborated with Hilfiger to design the bag, which is retailing at $425 and is made from brown, natural, vegetable-tanned leather suede. $140 from each bag will go to the Fund for Living, with is an association to support women battling cancer and to also help cover their day to day expenses. Renee said: "This is one of the best things about this initiative, and I love that Tommy Hilfiger has supported it for five years. It’s very real, very direct, helping women in their personal struggles, buying a wig or allowing them to hire a babysitter or to take a taxi when they don’t feel like they can ride the bus."

| Ben Affleck in talks to play philanderer Tom Buchanan in ‘The Great Gatsby’ Posted: 08 Apr 2011 07:59 AM PDT For months we've been hearing about the 3D reboot (FOR REAL) of The Great Gatsby, which is slated to be directed by Baz Luhrmann, of Moulin Rouge fame. Baz got his Romeo + Juliet buddy Leonardo DiCaprio slated to play Gatsby, and since then, everybody is auditioning or talking about auditioning for various roles. My favorite rumors were about Blake Lively "auditioning" for the part of Daisy Buchanan - all of the reports made it sound like Blake was willing to do anything for the part of Daisy, or for the part of Leo's sexual partner. Anyway, that role ended up going to Carey Mulligan, an actress who can actually, you know, ACT. So now the focus is on who will get the other two major roles - that of Nick Carraway, the novel's narrator, and Tom Buchanan, Daisy's philandering husband (does that need a SPOILER?). While many think Tobey Maguire - an old friend of Leo's - will end up as Nick, the latest rumor is… Ben Affleck as Tom! It's kind of a great choice, right?
[From The Huffington Post] I haven't read the book in a decade, but from what I remember, this is really, really great casting. Tom is supposed to be a big, enthusiastic, old-money kind of douchebag and Ben could land that very convincingly, in my opinion. Plus, I'm sure he would be able to nail the philandering part too, right? Wouldn't it have been funny if Blake Lively was still up for the role of Daisy? Oh, I can just see all of Jennifer Garner's Dimple Parade photo ops now! But Garner won't have anything to worry about from Carey Mulligan, I would think. But we'll have to see who gets cast as Tom's mistress, right? Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Jessica Alba’s Vogue Italia shoot: dominatrix bangs trauma or high fashion? Posted: 08 Apr 2011 07:26 AM PDT These are some selected shots from Jessica Alba's appearance in the April issue of Vogue Italia - for the full photo shoot, go here to Yeeeah. I don't really know why Alba is in Vogue Italia… perhaps to promote one of her films? Something that is only coming out in Italy right now, but that came out in America months ago? Could be. Or it could be that Alba is just trying to reinforce this idea that she's some kind of high-fashion vamp. The styling is supposed to achieve that, I think. "Vamp" perhaps. Or even "dominatrix". And I believe this is one of the most unflattering wigs I've ever seen, and the very definition for me of "bangs trauma". Alba doesn't have a lot going for her, career-wise, but she is very pretty, and you put her in this wig and suddenly she looks 20 years older and infinitely "harder". In the Vogue interview, Alba talks about her own style, farting this out:
[From Vogue via HuffPo] Sure. I have no issue with that. What I do think is a bit funny though is that her second pregnancy isn't getting half as much attention as she hoped it would. Alba has taken over from Jennifer Garner as the most-pap'd mother out there - I see photos of Alba, Cash Warren and Honor like every other day, and there are barely any blogs or magazines running the photos because… well, Alba is so boring. Even when she's dressed up like a bangs-trauma'd dominatrix, it's still zzzz….. Photos courtesy of Vogue Italia via Yeeeah.    |
| Kathy Griffin dumped the Old Spice guy for smothering her Posted: 08 Apr 2011 07:12 AM PDT
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, April 18, 2011] Isaiah called Kathy “amazing“ and “a force of nature” last month, and while he insisted he’s a “single man” I think we can assume that he’s experienced Kathy’s force of nature firsthand more than once. Good for Kathy for getting hers and moving on. And the good news is that the Old Spice guy is single, hurray! Even if the end of their relationship didn’t go down this way, it’s just like Kathy to spin it in her favor. I kind of admire her. Did you see those bikini pics where she’s looking ghostly though? Those cracked me up. Makeup makes all the difference in the world doesn’t it?    |
| Robert Pattinson in Elle Mag: “Round female bottoms are very much a miracle” Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:56 AM PDT As you know, while I am not particularly a fan of Robert Pattinson as an actor, I do enjoy him as a person. He consistently gives charming, sweet, and funny interviews, and he often reveals himself to be quite swoon-worthy in real life, in addition to his swoon-worthiness as Edward "Sparkles" Cullen. Pattinson sat down for an interview with Elle magazine, likely to promote Water for Elephants, although he barely talks about that movie. Instead, we get Sparkles' attempt to butch it up a bit, I think. Which is out of character! He talks about his secret desire to beat the hell out of a paparazzo, and then he kind of messes it up by referring to himself as “girly” and talking about how he's terrified of driving. The full Elle piece is here, and these are some of this highlights.
[From Elle Magazine] He has a wonderful ability to toss off some really great one-liners. I love "Every time I get in a car, I call up my parents and say goodbye." And "Round female bottoms are very much a miracle." Here's what I don't get: all of the little Twihard girls out there are obsessed (Robsessed) with Pattinson because of Twilight, and thus, their obsession is based on the CHARACTER. Why go for some sparkly vampire when the real dude is so adorable? Photos courtesy of WENN and Elle.    |
| Enquirer: Liam Neeson is engaged to 36-year-old Freya St. Johnston Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:25 AM PDT Last September, the news came out that Liam Neeson had begun dating again. It came a year and a half after Natasha Richardson's death, so it wasn't like Liam jumped right into the dating pool. Liam's new girlfriend emerged as Freya St. Johnston, a 36-year-old public relations executive and single mother of two (Liam is 58 years old, by the way). So, we know Liam and Freya have been dating since at least last September, when they were photographed together (see photo here) - is it too soon for Liam to propose?
[From The National Enquirer, print edition] I tend to think it's too soon after they started dating, but I also tend to think that Liam deserves happiness, and maybe he can handle his own affairs without my input. I'm also not completely sure about this report - on one side, I could totally buy how a man like Liam just loves being in a relationship, and how he would want to settle down so quickly after Natasha's death, and thus, I believe he could have proposed to this woman. On the other side, Liam still seems like he's grieving very deeply for Natasha - remember his heart-wrenching Esquire interview just two months ago? So… while I wouldn't judge Liam if this story is true, I also think that Liam's not quite there yet. Photos courtesy of WENN.    |
| Jennifer Garner sold scrunchies in college, was raking in the dough Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:00 AM PDT
Garner told a story on Letterman about how she made hair tie scrunchies in college and sold them door to door in the dorms. She said she was so successful and made so many of them that she still runs into people who say “I have your scrunchie.”
[From People] Garner is a year older than I am, I’ll be honest. I graduated high school and started college in 1991. At that point, I wouldn’t have been caught dead with a scrunchie in my hair. My crowd was listening to Nine Inch Nails, Peter Murphy and the Psychedelic Furs. (Some of us got turned on to then-new Nirvana at the time too.) We were wearing combat boots, long shaggy hair and thrift store clothes. Looking back at myself in college, I know I was a stereotype, but that’s what we did back then, we got involved with a group and we identified with them and we dressed like them. The sorority girls were trying to rock the scrunchies, so I guess we can assume Garner was a sorority girl. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it definitely fits with her personality. Here’s Garner outside the Late Show. Credit: WENN.com    |
| Victoria Gotti “insisted” Linnocent play her, because of family connections Posted: 08 Apr 2011 05:23 AM PDT As we talked about yesterday, TMZ was falling all over itself because they got the scoop that Lindsay Lohan in "final talks" to play Victoria Gotti, the daughter of alleged (ha) mob boss John Gotti. Most of us were like "Sure, Linnocent, whatever you say, crackhead." Turns out though, Linnocent had the inside track on this gig - Victoria Gotti "hand-picked" Linnocent for the role! But why? Because, as it turns out, the Gottis and the Lohans are like this (imagine me making some kind of crude two-handed gesture).
[From TMZ] Hahaha, Sienna Miller AND Blake Lively were considered for the role, and it ended up going to Linnocent? Wow, I would really hate to be either Blake or Sienna THIS morning. That being said, even though Blake gets "mentioned" for a lot of big parts, she's not really nailing any of the auditions, so even if she was being seriously considered, I doubt the producers would have chosen her in the end. But Sienna can actually act - Linnocent could at one point too, although I'm sure her crack-addled mind can't remember how to. Still… this isn't going to happen. Lindsay can't get insured, and even if she could, she has that crack trial coming up. It's a scheduling disaster! Of course… now that I know the Lohans actually have a connection to the mafia, it's making me rethink a lot of stuff. Was this the missing puzzle piece to understanding the Lohans all of this time?

| TLC’s Extreme Couponing: amazing, hoarding or both? Posted: 08 Apr 2011 04:56 AM PDT
Here are a few profiles of the people on the show. I found them all pretty relateable and normal-seeming, like I would love for them to take me to the grocery store and give me some tips, except for the last woman below, who wasn’t as organized as the other women and fought with her husband. At one point she took home a cartfull of candy bars just because it was free. (Note: these videos may not play outside the US, sorry about that!)
So Extreme Couponing has inspired me to save some money next time I go shopping, but I also hate clutter in the house and I’m not into spending a lot of time doing spreadsheets. I’ll keep watching this show, but it’s kind of like the way I watch hoarders without the gross out factor - it’s fascinating to see that there are people who actually live like this. Here’s a link to some tips for novice coupon users.    |
