After years of ho-hum programming and too many reality shows, I think the current TV season is really hot. Some of my faves are taking off (The Vampire Diaries, Glee), some got canceled (Dollhouse. Boo.) and some are on hiatus (True Blood, I miss you!). And with this hot season have come some really hot men. I might post later about the sexiest ladies on the small screen, but for now, let’s ogle the man candy.
The New Kid: Mark Salling, for making a mohawk hot, as Puck on Glee.
The Steady: David Boreanaz, for stealing hearts as a tortured vampire (on two different shows!), then making them melt as heroic FBI agent Seeley Booth.
(And Speaking of Vampires) Best Vamp: Alexander Skarsgard, as hilarious and twisted Eric Northman on True Blood.
(And Speaking of True Blood) Best Human on True Blood: Ryan Kwanten, who manages to make stupid sexy as Jason Stackhouse.
Best Comeback: Ian Somerhalder, for bouncing back from Lost with his turn as deadly Damon on The Vampire Diaries.
Best Import: Ed Westwick, as Gossip Girl’s resident bad boy Chuck Bass.
Hottest Guy I wish were still on TV: Ryan Reynolds. For obvious reasons.
Now it’s your turn to nominate your favorites. Who did I leave out?
My mile challenge has been put on hold due to a knee injury. I’ve had to take the past few days off, but I’m hoping to start back soon…
Natalie Portman is one of my favorite actresses. Not only is she stunning (no one else comes as close to Audrey Hepburn’s gamine beauty), but she is whip-smart (Harvard-educated, multi-lingual), talented and has an intriguing, quirky resume.
The longtime vegetarian recently wrote a piece about veganism for the Huffington Post, and I encourage everyone read it.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I’ve also been afraid to feel as if I know better than someone else — a historically dangerous stance (I’m often reminded that ‘Hitler was a vegetarian, too, you know’). But this book reminded me that some things are just wrong. Perhaps others disagree with me that animals have personalities, but the highly documented torture of animals is unacceptable, and the human cost Foer describes in his book, of which I was previously unaware, is universally compelling.”
