Guy Ritchie - still hot


Guy Ritchie - still hot - and even managed to produce what looks like it's going to be a smash hit film - Sherlock Holmes. Isn't life strange.

Olly has the X Factor

There's only one artist left in the X-Factor for me now - the lovely Olly Murs. The perfect Essex-born gyrating lovechild of Will Young and Robbie Williams.

Hot as Danyl Johnson's new look (and new humility) is, I want Olly to win.

Or failing that, to date Dermot O'Leary. They look cute together in their little fitted suits.

Tom Hardy Lets It Out

OK, the rest of the ad is vaguely mortifying but actor Tom Hardy is every gay man's fantasy at the start of the new Kleenex advert. Handsome, muscled, tattooed, wearing a vest, crying, cuddling a dog. How many boxes do we need ticking?

Tom Hardy has the knack of appearing completely different in every role - which is a great talent for an actor - but when he looks hot, he looks very, very hot.

The Soldiers - Coming Home

Arguably the type of album and style of music one should only purchase as a gift - for a female family member generally - the debut album by The Soldiers - three serving soldiers - is nonetheless for a very good cause. Part of the album’s proceeds are planned to go directly to charities including Help For Heroes, the British Legion and the Army Benevolent Fund.

Youngest and most recognisable member, 24 year old Lance Corporal Ryan Idzi appeared on X-Factor and made it through to the Boot Camp stage of the show after singing Lean On Me. From Caerphilly, South Wales, Idzi has already served in Iraq and Afganistan as part of the 20th Armoured Brigade. Described by Danni Minogue as ‘gorgeous’, Ryan’s good looks are sure to melt the hearts of millions.

And if The Soldiers are not your cup of tea buy a poppy.

Shayne Ward

Who knows what's happened to his pop career but a very adorable looking Shayne Ward has appeared at Stephen Gately's funeral in Dublin. (I realise there is something slightly dubious about thinking people look hot at a funeral - which is why there are no pictures of the lovely Widow Gately - Andrew Cowles.) Anyway, a sad day and I hope all the dirty laundry has now been aired - for everyone's sake.

Sam Worthington clashes with titans


First images have appeared from the remake of Clash of the Titans starring new action man Sam Worthington.

Arguably, the costume and hair are far from authentically Greek but they are spot on authentically sexy...

Attitude is loving the bear


The latest issue of Attitude magazine features 'hot, hairy & huge' (straight) gay rugby icon Ben Cohen on the cover and in a several page spread inside scattered with some pretty good sports- and underwear photos of big Ben, and has a feature on bears and a bit of a gay sport theme.

Buy it or don't.

Oddly, the cover manages to render him packageless. I blame Dolce & Gabbana. Nice girdle of Adonis though.

To be honest, Ben Cohen, Babydaddy, Jack Osbourne - it all seems a little tired, despite the ongoing trend for facial hair and the enduring fashion for boybeards.

Having said that, Ben Cohen does have an absurdly beautiful muscle bear physique - even if his career has gone a bit blah.

And he loves the gays (yes dear, but have you had sex with one?)

What sort of man wears mantyhose?

Skinny trousers for men are everywhere. But how many will take the trend for figure-hugging legwear one step beyond, and wear tights?

PS: This is more like leggings for men than men's lingerie.

Speaking as someone who owns (and ahem, enjoys) running tights - for running, obviously - I'm not sure if I'd go this far...

... and if you're really into the idea, check this out!

Strictly - Ricky Whittle

Possibily the best male celebrity dancer ever on Strictly - certainly this early in the competition - sexy, handsome Hollyoaks Ricky Whittle is not shy of stripping off for the cameras. For which, many thanks.




Strictly - Rav Wilding

OK - the dancing's a bit wooden still and he's weirdly hairless but the chest is great and he has a lovely face (as well as that sexy ex-army, ex-police background...)




Rav Wilding was voted out of Strictly Come Dancing in Week 3 (3 Oct)

Could an American win the X Factor?


It's far too early to tell, but how far in this year's X-Factor will Chicago boy Ethan Boroian go?

He looks like a dream, he sang a decent version of Kings of Leon's Use Somebody and he has to be a contender - for now anyway.

[Well, the dream is over - the lovely Ethan was booted from the X-Factor by Cheryl Cole in the 'Judge's Houses' week before the live finals. I love Cheryl Cole - but she picked the wrong three!]

Strictly Calzaghe

My favourite story in the papers today was a report in the METRO's Green Room column that reported that bosses at BBC's Strictly Come Dancing have requested that hot former boxer Joe Calzaghe wears two pairs of briefs as 'there is a lot of movement'.

This story had the ladies at work slightly disturbed, but left me with a smile on my face all day.

I'm now looking forward to the Latin...




Well the first week is out of the way and the truth can now be revealed. Joe Calzaghe can't dance. It's Mark Foster all over again. Good on paper. Bad on the dancefloor. Rav Wilding's hotter anyway (but not much better so far).

Editors - Papillon

Taking the 'difficult third album' notion by the throat, Editors release their absurdly good new single Papillon.

It brilliantly manages to sound unlike anything else they've done and yet completely like Editors. It's fashionably retro and yet thrillingly modern.

I loved them from the moment I heard Munich and they've not disappointed me yet.

Can't wait for the album.

Rammstein reveal Pussy

The world's greatest German (and possibly any nationality of) rock band - the almighty Rammstein are due to return soon.

They release a new single Pussy on 18 September, to be followed by a new album on 16 October.

The word is that the new album is a work of immense power and a worthy follow up to the splendid Rosenrot.

They have also just announced three UK dates for 2010 in addition to other European tour dates in 2009 and 2010.

2010-02-02 Manchester / GB / (MEN) www.ticketmaster.co.uk
2010-02-03 Birmingham / GB / (LG Arena) www.ticketmaster.co.uk
2010-02-04 London / GB / (Wembley Arena) www.ticketmaster.co.uk

Their new imagery is typically provocative.

Nick Youngquest gets Attitude

Attitude gets sexy this month with our ever-popular Sex Issue. Scorching hot cover star Australian Nick Youngquest gives us the only photo shoot that he has done in the UK for the launch of the Gods of Football DVD and calendar which is set to become the Dieux Du Stade of 2009. Believe us, this is one man you need to know about…




I think we've already discovered the splendid Mr Youngquest... but it'll be intersting to see how 'buck naked' he gets. I noticed the new issue yesterday and it's plastic-bagged. Good sign?

Bryn Williams

I'm not about to pretend that the world of celebrity chefs is an untapped pool of hotness, but it does provide a steady stream of young (or youngish) men on TV that are not sportsmen - Saturday Kitchen, Something For the Weekend, Market Kitchen, Great British Menu - and some of them are pretty fine.

I've already mentioned the adorable Matt Tebbutt more than once, and this weekend I was watching a kind of best-of compendium of Saturday Kitchen (always a Saturday morning treat) and up popped a bearded, rather sexy Bryn Williams, doing something with braised pigs' cheeks...

In his early 30s, Bryn Williams is Wales leading chef (or he's just Welsh and pretty good), and is at the front of the pack of next gen celebrity chefs - with a very successful London restaurant and many TV appearances under his belt.

I worry that his appeal may at least be partly stubble-related but he seems like a fine fellow, makes nice food and I felt inspired enough to write about him...


... tragically, it appears that he is (or was) in a relationship with Sharleen Spiteri. Blimey.

Eva Simons - Silly Boy

Sounds like a number one to me - like Lady Gaga punching Britney repeatedly in the face.

Bear(d)s in pop - The Invisible

Check out Mercury-nominated alternative pop trio The Invisible featuring bearded bass player Tom Herbert of Polar Bear.

Their debut album is very cool - sort of a cross between Hercules and Love Affair and Antony and the Johnsons. Sort of.

Channing Tatum




OK, I went to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - and not just because of the lovely Channing Tatum, although... it's fantastically entertaining rubbish full of rather odd performances - Sienna Miller, an oddly poor Dennis Quaid and a comically dreadful turn from Christopher Eccleston in particular - even some of the CGI is a tad dodgy, but Channing is a peach.

Liam Tancock

Liam Tancock brought Britain's World Championships to a respectable close this weekend after the Exeter 25-year-old won gold in the 50m backstroke. Although it was Britain's only medal on the final night in Rome, it was Team GB's second gold in what is its best-ever showing at an international swimming meet, with seven medals in all.

Tancock powered home in 24.04 seconds, breaking his own world record. He has set the record three times in the past 18 months but it is his first gold at a major meet.

Nice, isn't he.




And, whilst I'm far from being a fan of these controversial new high-tech one-piece swimsuits, oh my...

Daniel Conn - the real deal

Is Aussie rugger boy Daniel Conn the world's most beautiful sportsman ... with the best tattoos?




... even bloodied and bruised.

David 'Wolfman' Williams

David 'Wolfman' is an Australian professional rugby league player for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League (NRL) competition.

Williams' popularity quickly rose and he developed a cult following, becaming known as the 'Wolfman' for his shaggy locks and full beard.


Following the Manly Sea Eagles Grand Final victory, he had his beard forcibly shaved by fellow Manly winger Michael Robertson.

Also in 2008, sans his trademark facial hair, Williams showed off his sexy side and bared all for charity, posing (nearly) nude for the Gods of Football calendar.

Freddie Stroma

New beautiful blond boy du jour Freddie Stroma is causing a stir following his appearance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - he plays Hermione's 'love interest' Cormac McLaggen.

Freddie Stroma is a 22 year-old Britiah actor/gymnast and has the boyish charm and the bod to go far...




Click here to see him dancing around in his underwear - actually it's an ad camapign for Acne Underwear's 2008 Autumn/Winter campaign and is well worth a look.

The real Glastonbury highlight

Glastonbury - the mud, the music, blah blah blah...

The real highlight of Glastonbury for me each year comes from the BBC coverage - naturally I would never actually go to any event that trumpeted poor facilities and Bruce Sprinsgteen as highlights - and it's the lovely DJ and presenter Zane Lowe...

A cricketing bromance

I know this is how rumours start, and I know Kevin Pietersen is married to former-Liverty X 'babe' Jessica thingy, but he does seem to be enjoying a blissful bromance with fellow England star Ravi Bopara.

They make such a cute couple, too.
