The Sexiest Men of 2013
From: Cosmo UK
Tom Fletcher
We'll admit, we've never really thought of Tom Fletcher as sexy before. He's cute, yes. But sexy? Not so much. That was until the McFly star shared his wedding speech with us all! The video is of him at his own wedding to Giovanna Falcone apologizing for being unable to make speeches. He then SINGS his gratitude via re-written versions of McFly hits. If you haven't watched it, you really should.

Photo Interdit
From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
I was rather found of Ryan's work, and his junk, and featured his self portrait (like the beautiful ones shown here) on FH, my favorite being the 2011 piece At The Top Of The Stairs. The last few times I headed by to Ryan's blog I was disappointed there were no new updates. Recently, I was back and finally opened my eyes (duh) wide enough to notice Ryan's link to his tumblr, Photo Interdit.
On his tumblr, Ryan continues to feature self portraits, nature and landscapes of San Francisco and more junk to love. There is also a focus on Ryan's imagery featuring other models, in themes and situations that more than live up to the tumblr's main title. I quickly shot Ryan an e-mail and he again voiced support for me featuring is work. It was difficult to narrow down a shoot or model to start with. There was something rather both beautiful, and also disconcerting, about the shoot I finally picked. Check it out for yourself below.

My first introduction to Ryan Scott was as a model back in 2010. The wonderful Michael Puff sent on images for a piece entitled Private Moments Made Public. I quickly discovered Ryan's modeling was simply an arm of his overall visual artistry. Ryan ran a blog at that time titled The Direct Desire Project which as Ryan says on the front page is made up self portraits, nature and junk I like.

Meet Mungo: the 'naked' commuter taking to the Tube in protest at heat on trains
From: London Evening Standard

We have had the Naked Rambler, the Naked Civil Servant and now we have the naked commuter.
Mungo Strachan is baring almost all in a protest against hot tube trains in London.
The 23-year-old said with rising temperatures this week, his journey from Baron’s Court to Monument is unbearable in his suit.
So, instead of wearing it, he has been carrying it and travels to work in his underpants.
He said: “The protest started this week when the heat on the tube really picked up. I’m a Scotsman so these temperatures for me are tropical.”
The headhunter, who lives in Baron’s Court said he is also getting friends to join his campaign.
“I will carry on doing this until I get the numbers up, even when it is raining,” he said. “I have a few friends keen to bare all who travel on the northern line so that should be interesting.”
Mr Strachan, who used to play semi-professional rugby with London Scottish, said he will happily take off his boxers if it means Mayor Boris Johnson will take notice of his protest.
“I could easily do it with a bit of encouragement but I think baring all might have repercussions, especially with my boss,” he said. “Boris knows how miserable it is on the tube, when temperatures are as high as the are we need air conditioning and this is a message to him to get it installed on all tubes now.”
Transport for London has already introduced air conditioning on the Metropolitan line trains and on some of its trains on the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City and Circle lines.
By 2016, an air conditioned service of 191 trains will be in operation covering 40 per cent of the Tube network.
It added deep-lying Tubes presented an “engineering challenge” but additional cooling methods were being introduced across the network.
Academy Award for Best Picture
2007
No Country for Old Men
Release dates
November 9, 2007
Starring
Tommy Lee Jones
Javier Bardem
Josh Brolin
No Country for Old Men is a 2007 American neo-Western thriller directed, written, and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin and tells the story of an ordinary man to whom chance delivers a fortune that is not his, and the ensuing cat-and-mouse drama as the paths of three men intertwine in the desert landscape of 1980 West Texas. Themes of fate, conscience and circumstance re-emerge that the Coen brothers have previously explored in Blood Simple and Fargo.
The film premiered in competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival on May 19. Among its four 2007 Academy Awards were Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, allowing the Coen brothers to join five previous directors honored three times for a single film. In addition, the film won three British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) including Best Director, and two Golden Globes. The American Film Institute listed it as an AFI Movie of the Year, and the National Board of Review selected the film as the best of 2007.
No Country for Old Men appeared on more critics' top ten lists (354) than any other film of 2007, and was regarded by many critics as the Coen brothers' finest film to date. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "as good a film as the Coen brothers...have ever made," The Guardian journalist John Patterson said "that the Coens' technical abilities, and their feel for a landscape-based Western classicism reminiscent of Anthony Mann and Sam Peckinpah, are matched by few living directors," and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said that it is "a new career peak for the Coen brothers" and is "as entertaining as hell."

Adore Delano Sets “Drag Race” Record With Billboard Album Debut
From: NewNowNext
PARTY! Adore Delano just raised the bar for all future queens with Billboard reporting that the season six runner-up landed the biggest sales week ever of any Drag Race contestant. Adore’s debut album, Til Death Do Us Party, sold 5,000 copies in the week ending June 8, according to Nielsen Soundscan, to debut at number 3 on the Dance/Electronic chart and number 59 on the Billboard 200.
Though many queens have released songs and albums after appearing on the show, Delano, née Danny Noriega, is one of Drag Race‘s more accomplished musicians. Noriega competed on the seventh season of American Idol and frequently shut shit down with her chops during her Drag Race run.
Delano’s “I Adore U” also sold well, debuting on the Hot Dance/Electronic chart at number 49 and number 34 on the Dance/Electronic Singles chart with sales of 4,000 copies. Previously, Willam Belli held the crown for biggest sales week with the shticky anthem, “Boy Is A Bottom”, which sold just over 3,000 copies.

WWE Wrestling Legend Pat Patterson Comes Out In Emotional Video
From: Queerty
If you’re a WWE fan, the name Pat Patterson has meant something to you since the ’70s when he had the professional wrestling world in a half nelson.
If you’re like me, you’ll have to Wikipedia him.
Appearing recently on the WWE Network reality TV show Legends’ House, Pat revealed that he’s been living in the closet for the past 50 years and is ready to step out.
No matter how you feel about wrestling, it’s an all-too familiar story of waiting too long to come out (though apparently it was no secret to those close to him) in a stereotypically homophobic environment, and we can certainly sympathize with him there.
Even more notable are the reactions from his friends at the WWE, who offer support and love. It probably helped to have all those cameras rolling too.
Last year, Darren Young became the first WWE wrestler to come out, telling a TMZ reporter, “Look at me. I’m a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I’ll tell you right now, I’m gay. And I’m happy. I’m very happy.”
We hope Pat Patterson is just as happy.
Here’s the clip where he breaks the news:
10 Iconic Foods of New York City, and Where To Find Them
From: The Village Voice
4.
Hamburger
The first hamburgers were reportedly served along the city's Lower West Side docks in the 1820s to German sailors homesick for the port they came from -- Hamburg, on the North Sea. These ground-meat pucks (it is not recorded whether they were first made with beef or pork) were served naked, but at some point in the years that followed, a bun was applied, making the hamburger as we know it an American phenomenon. In fact, when I first arrived in the city, old-timers still referred to them as "hamburgs" -- and you can still hear that term today. We live in an explosion of hamburger love, so I've chosen an old-fashioned one to showcase: no brisket, foie gras, brioche bun, or exotic cheeses.

Male Nude Photography | Johnny Leeks gets sticky
"I’ve shown a few of these images already. You may recall that Mr. Leeks is a huge comic books fan.
And like so many superheroes, donning a mask essentially unleashes his “super powers” – in this case, it lets our semi-shy friend Johnny become an unapologetically sexy man – able to play with his body and relish it’s beauty." -- Marlen Boro

This Guy Tried To Buy Sex With A Salad; It Didn’t Go So Well
From: Queerty
It’s one of the oldest pickup lines in the book — “I’ll give you a salad from Applebee’s if you blow me.”
Works for me every time, especially if I add grilled chicken and a miso dressing. And that’s not a euphemism.
But unfortunately for Alonzo Liverman of Daytona Beach, FL, all he got for his leafy greens were a short stint in jail and a $500 fine when he propositioned an undercover police officer with the deal.
It was all part of a reverse prostitution sting operation by the Daytona police force, which seems like a waste of time, energy and money if you ask me.
So the guy wanted a BJ for a salad, what’s the big deal?
At least he’s promoting good nutrition.
THE TEN:
SORRY, BUT MY STUPID BUTT ISN'T BETTER THAN ROMAN DAWIDOFF’S CHISELED BODY!
From: Manhunt Daily
From: Manhunt Daily
“I nominate Dewitt for The Ten!” This is something you suggested last week. My instinct was to brush off the request no matter how many people presented it, and then the sentiment was echoed over and over again in my Manhunt messages. I’m not delusional enough to believe I’m in the same league as our top five contestants Roman Dawidoff, Matt Bomer, Bodik Rigor, Sean Zevran or Austin Wolf.
 |
| 1. ROMAN DAWIDOFF (LW – 1, W7) This flawless muscle god reigns victorious for sixth consecutive week. |
Hell, despite my ability to somehow fool a small group of you into thinking I’m an “entertaining writer”, I’m fairly certain I don’t even come close to being in the same league as last week’s rejected contestants Darius Ferdynand, Aaron Bruiser, Adrian Hart and Benn Robinson. I’d also laugh at the prospect that anyone would find me more attractive than Guy Gulotta. Hahahahaha! This is me laughing, because you people are fucking insane.
 |
| 2. MATT BOMER (LW – 6, W2) As seen naked in The Normal Heart and Magic Mike. |
And I’m fucking insane for indulging your requests! As crazy as it might seem, my stupid butt will be joining Bravo Delta, Ricky Decker, Francois Angoston and Alex Marte on today’s charts. I fully expect to lose. This has less to do with my self-esteem, more to do with my inexplicable decision to use a blurry jockstrap shot when most of you have shown preference for another butt shot on my profile. You know, the one where my legs are spread on the floor? That one. If you’re a paying member of Manhunt I’d be glad to show it to you some time.

| 3. BODIK RIGOR (LW – 9, W2) A gay porn newcomer with mouthwatering, especially hairy butt cheeks. |
Check out the pics of all ten contestants and cast your vote here:
 |
| 4. SEAN ZEVRAN (LW – 3, W4) Signed to a new studio and looking better than ever. |
 |
| 5. AUSTIN WOLF (LW – 2, W8) Extraordinarily talented, dominant top who’s available for an hourly rate. |
 |
| 6. BRAVO DELTA (RETURN) The hung, hairy performer got kinkier than ever last week. |
 |
| 7. RICKY DECKER (DEBUT) You guys selected him as Landon Conrad‘s best bottom boy. |
 |
| 8. FRANCOIS ANGOSTON (DEBUT) Outstanding physique and a smile that could easily stop traffic. |
 |
| 9. ALEX MARTE (RETURN) A beefy bodybuilder who’s been known to give and receive. |
 |
| 10. MY STUPID BUTT (DEBUT) You requested this. Can’t wait to come in last place! |

This version was the highest-grossing of the three films.

Top 100 Hits Of The Ladies Of the 80′s
From: The Backlot
#3
“Stand Back”
Stevie Nicks
If “Edge Of Seventeen” had hit the top ten, it would have been the #1 song on this entire list, but it peaked at …. #11, and is therefore disqualified. There have to be rules! But Stevie had to be represented in the top five, and “Stand Back” is probably the signature song of her solo career. She wrote it after listening to “Little Red Corvette,” and during the recording Prince swooped in, played keyboards, and then left. It marked a new synth sound for Stevie, and of course she made it work splendidly. It peaked at #5 in August 1983.
Monday’s Clue – It’s a heartache this song only spent four weeks at #1.

Henrik Lundqvist
We can’t help it if the New York Rangers are full of hotties. Goaltender Lundqvist, 32, is known for his looks, style and fashion sense: He’s been named one of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People (twice!), made Page Six’s Top 25 Best Dressed List and recently became an underwear model.
Like many on this list, Lundqvist is also active in the You Can Play campaign. “For me, it’s obvious that everyone should have the same rights and ability to play the game,” he says. “It doesn’t matter race or sexual orientation.”
