Matt Lanter's Rising Star

A gorgeous face, an awesome smile, beautiful eyes, and a super sexy voice... just what doesn't 26 year-old super hot actor Matt Lanter have ?

For those of you who've never heard of him it might be just that, name recognition. Granted he's been on about half a dozen or more shows (and a couple of movies) since being unceremoniously rejected from Bravo's reality TV model search back in 2004. But none of those have really offered that breakout role worthy of lifting Matt out of fangirl/boy obscurity.

Well all that's set to change later this fall... or technically it started changing back in April after signing with a new publicist and guest starring on the CW's remake of 90210. But it's really set to change when he returns this fall as a regular cast member on that show.

And if Season 1's finale last month is anything to go by, I think Matt might just be a new highlight for a show I might've otherwise avoided like the plague ...

On a side note, I do find it somewhat interesting how Matt's seemingly been typecast as a 'bad boy' in a number of guest appearances since playing the abusive jock on Heroes. Maybe it's just me, but 'bad boy' isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Matt.

I kind lean more towards Just Beautiful... but then again that's just me ...

Anyhow, Matt's got two 'interesting' upcoming projects... coincidentally enough, one where he might be playing a 'bad boy'/stalker-killer (if rumors are to be believed) and another starring opposite Never Back Down/Twilight hottie Cam Gigandet (which I'm really looking forward to )...

So yeah, 2010 might just be the breakout year for this utterly gorgeous model-reject turned actor (who just happens to still model every now and again). And I think it's well overdue ... Let's just hope he stays away from any Disaster movie sequels ...

Congrats to Ryan Lochte

Congratulations to the loveable Lochte on his well-deserved victory at the Grand Prix swim meet in Santa Clara earlier this month. Not only did he manage to secure the men's high-point award for his overall performance at the meet, but he did so beating his half-man half-dolphin teamate in the men's 100m backstroke.

The way things are going, perhaps Ryan might just get the recognition he deserves come time for the London Olympics in 2012?

Well... unfortunately I'm not willing to wait that long, so I'll be more than happy to give recognition ahead of time . Oh, and yes he's not really trying, but he still looks absolutely fantastic. Where oh where are those underwear modeling shots we were promised ...

Matt Lanter chases the Dream...

Quick guys, I need an excuse to place a super sexy actor in a film... He's gotta be a hunk-next-door/totally oblivious to his good looks-type who just happens to be incredibly talented yet also somewhat misguided... Got any ideas?

What's that you say? He should be a skater?... No wait a figure skater? Hm ... Oh and he has to star opposite an ambitious counterpart who's totally into him yet also playing hard to get. Sounds like a tall order, I think I've got just the right guy in mind ...

Ok, so I'll be honest and say it outright... The made for TV movie The Cutting Edge 3 isn't exactly one of my favorite films. But I figured it had some merit seeing as I'm still in a Lanter kind of mood . This film originally aired on ABC Family, and as you can imagine the shirtlessness is somewhat limited compared to its predecessor... But Matt Lanter's presence is enough to lift this movie into eyecandy overdrive so I figure it's worth checking out. You can purchase The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream off Amazon.

True Blue

Ah yes, I've always been a sucker for gorgeous eyes ...

But perhaps even moreso when those eyes just happen to match one of my three favorite colors (evidently more than enough present in the layout of this blog )...

Judging from the gorgeous subject of these shots, I'd he's perhaps either one of the hottest busboys I've ever laid eyes on, or he's a waiter deserving of an adequate tip. Either way he looks like a potential model in the wrong profession ...

The last of the true global icons...

Is now resting once and forevermore. Unique, incredibly talented, deeply troubled, and ultimately a tragic figure. In spite of what some might say or think about Michael this past decade, the fact remains he is indeed one of the greatest musical talents to ever grace this earth... and for that, I deeply respect his achievements over his 39 years of performing in the spotlight.

I'd like to think maybe out there somewhere up in the night sky, there's a man now walking on the moon ... RIP King of Pop, you'll be missed but not forgotten.

Dashing SoCal Beauty

Although I've never had the opportunity to travel out to Southern California, from what I've heard, the weather's gorgeous pretty much all year round ...

Beautiful weather, beautiful people, and beautiful beaches... in this case specifically beautiful Newport Beach out in Orange County, CA. Home to one of my all-time favorite photographers... And apparently also home to a certain incredibly intelligent and dashing 19 year-old college student/model by the name of Robert R.

Impeccable beauty... I'd even go as far as to say almost akin to a vintage movie star...

Robert is anything but old-fashioned though... And if his current major in mechanical engineering major with aspirations of advancing the field of nanotechnology is anything to go by, then this abitious free-spirit clearly has his eyes dead-set on the future...

And from the looks of things, the future looks quite promising... whether engineering or modeling... Oh, and might add gorgeous Robert riding on a hot bike? I'd like to say James Dean, but I think Robert looks just a little hotter ...

Trail Blazing

While we're still on the subject of gorgeous guys riding hot bikes... here's an interesting question: What's hotter than a gorgeous guy in cool shades riding shirtless on a hot bike in the heat of a blazing afternoon sky...

Any guesses ?

Well, if you're thinking what I'm thinking... then let's just say we'll keep the cool shades and the bike and go on from there ...

The Hunks of True Blood - Season 2

So seeing as I've been away for quite some time now (mostly on account of circumstances outside my control ), I figured why not perhaps just return right where I left off......

So where exactly did I leave off again? Ah yes, that's right. Season 2 of True Blood was just on the verge of premiering... and returning along with it naturally would be its superior cast of male hotties . Suffice to say thus far I haven't been disappointed... So far so good as far as I'm concerned... especially with regards to the hotness department.

Mehcad Brooks, Wesley Brown and Ryan Kwanten... apparently an already established awesome show just keeps getting hotter. Personally being that I have a certain type, I have to say I have a particular thing for Wes, but really I'm not one to be complaining. Thank you casting director ... (whoever you might be)...

I-Wallpaper - Updated

Just looking at the post title, some might wonder 'how, praytell, can this picture of a beautiful man fit on your screen as a wallpaper?'... well, to be quite honest it really doesn't ...

At least not my desktop wallpaper ... However it does make for quite an amazing Iphone wallpaper. Simple, gorgeous and eyecatching... Just perfect for what amounts to my current PC away from my PC. Now if I could only remember this guy's name ...

Edit: I was contacted recently by the gorgeous subject of my I-Wallpaper and he's revealed to me that his name is actually Sergio. He was also kind enough to send a couple shots that happen to actually be wallpaper sized for monitors...

And I can gladly attest, they fit perfectly ... The second shot btw is by photographer David Vance, as usual, it's nothing short of simply amazing.

True Blood Returns

This past decade, HBO's been known for absolutely superb programming (pretty much putting Network TV to shame really)... The Sopranos, Rome, Deadwood, Generation Kill, Six Feet Under... Big risk programming that payed off big time with television gold...

And in terms of big risks, nothing really says risky like vampires drinking fake blood and trying to fit into rural Louisiana setting ... But HBO's True Blood works, and as far as I'm concerned, it's my favorite series as of yet on that network .

I believe these season 1 screencaps courtesy of Superherofan help to illustrate a couple highlights of this fantastic show ... But yeah, anyhow season 2 of True Blood is finally upon us. And from the looks of things, it's looking just as amazing as the first season ...

Is Lafayette still alive? Just what is Eric planning... and has Jason really gotten over his V addiction? If you have any clue just what the heck I'm talking about then odds are you'll be watching when Sunday night's premiere along with me (or maybe catching it once it finally makes its way online )...

Christian and Oliver back in love

Is it stifling outside or what? ... And just when I thought June couldn't get any hotter, out comes Christian and Oliver once again heating up German daytime and putting other soaps (*ahem*) to shame ...

For those of you not familiar with the Christian and Oliver duo... well, it's kind of a long story arc. I suggest starting here and going on from Nana's amazing work over on youtube translating the storyline from start to current hotness.

Part of me kind of wants to see what happens next... but... after all this is a family show... (*rewinds the clip a little*)... Ok, on second thought maybe not . Nevertheless, superbly well done... These two honestly get into the role so well you'd almost think it wasn't acting .

Chris Fountain's new Attitude

You've seen him in magazines and in the soaps, you've seen him baring steel and dancing on ice... and you've even seen him 'snogging' (I hope I'm using that term right ) fellow Brit hottie TV presenter Steve Jones.

Ok... so maybe if you're living on my side of the Atlantic, odds are you've probably never heard of this guy. But that doesn't take away from the fact that former teen heartthrob turned gorgeous stud Chris Fountain is one of the hottest up and coming young actors in the UK ...

and.. incidentally one of the current feature models for this month's issue of Attitude.

Super hot... Chris (as some of you might know) has been a staple on the British soap Hollyoaks for the better part of a decade now (his run's due to come to an end this month I believe)... And if you happen to be familiar with some of his previous apperance from magazines in years past, you can really tell he's bulked up quite a bit for this shoot.

I liked the old/younger Chris Fountain, but I love the new/older one... (I think that makes sense )... Anyhow, you can check out more of Chris over at Attitude's digital download service.

Phoenix heats up

Can I just be honest and say I was not the biggest fan of this movie? You guys don't mind right?... Ok, thanks ... So anyway, I was not the biggest fan of 2006's Phoenix (starring Chad Bartley and Jeff Castle). I can't exactly pinpoint as to why, maybe it was the script or perhaps at times some of the acting (I'm thinking a little of both)... but wow, some of the scenes in this movie might've been a little hot .

Basically the quick gist of this story involves Dylan (played by Chad) and Demetrius (Jeff Castle) falling in love with the same man. Demetrius is married to the guy, Dylan is the boyfriend on the side, and eventually the two run into each other when the guy in question (played by Gaetano Jones) skips out on both of them.... (talk about your convoluted love triangle ).

The movie was decent enough I suppose, but for what the film might've lacked in storyline, it more than made up for it with the steamy relationship scenes. Plus it doesn't hurt that Chad could almost pass for Jesse Metcalfe (albeit with a better body). If you're interested, you can check out the movie in its entirety over at Amazon or on Netflix.

Beautiful Mystery

Gorgeous perfection laying on a... I believe it's some sort of really comfy looking white sheet... Although I'd like to see more, I guess it works .

Is he a model?... Or perhaps an actor or athlete?... As unfortunate as it may be, I have to say I really don't have the slightest idea with this guy. I'm kinda, sorta leaning towards actor, but if anyone has any clue as to who this gorgeous mystery might be, I'd really appreciate a few hints thrown my way ...

Floridian Beauty

Florida is gorgeous all year round... Consistent beautiful weather (and scenery), and as one might imagine, quite a substantial number of residents could perhaps rank as some of the most beautiful people in the world... Well, at least the ones out of retirement .

Thankfully 23 year-old College student/model Tory G. here is nowhere near retirement. As a matter of fact, for someone who describes himself as working out 2 hours a day, 7 days a week, I'd say Tory is pretty much at the peak of physical perfection (for any age)..

And let's be honest, if you can work out much as Tory does, and manage to look this proportionally perfect, then obviously you're doing something right.

According to Tory, he makes it a point to wear as little clothing as possible so as to show off his 'hard earned' physique. Couple that with his intended goal to eventually be an underwear model, and I think what we have here is what amounts to a photographers dream... (certainly Dondi and Jeffery Rich have already started scratching the surface of that incredible potential ).

So does Tory have what it takes to be an underwear model? You be the judge... All I'll say is Just Beautiful, and I think I'll leave it at that .

Perfect Red

The forecast today calls for a partly cloudy skies, with highs reaching upwards of a sweltering red hot 98 degrees ....

...Ok, so I just got a chance to check out tomorrow's actual forecast on my Iphone, and yeah... apparently we're only getting up to around 70 here in the tri-state . Not exactly 'scorching' per se, but warm enough I suppose ...

That said, one might imagine this stunning specimen of ginger hotness might just be enough to perhaps raise the temperature a couple more degrees or so ... Introducing 22 year-old gorgeous model Sean D.

If I didn't know better I'd think he's auditioning for a spot on the wall at a certain apparel store ...

Sean's been modeling for a little over 3 years now, so he has in fact done quite a bit of print, runway, and commercial work... And as I'm sure you might've noticed by now his photo sessions with Downeast Photo and Mull are nothing short of pure modeling perfection.

A super hot red-head with a gorgeous smile and a perfect tan?... Now that's a rarity... Just Beautiful nonetheless .
