Hans

Hans Matheson has been the 'it' for me now for quite some time... Here's why:























Can't explain it further but he is really holding on there.

... see any film he has been in for further explanation.

(note to self: more info required about him)

It was "Les Miserables" that did me in...

5 Reasons to see John Mayer in Concert [like I needed them]:

1. He's pretty funny. He put on a bear costume and harassed his own fans on "John Mayer Has a TV Show" and helped Dave Chappelle demonstrate the effects guitar music has on white people on "Chappelle's Show." His "Music Lessons" column for "Esquire" has some good laughs.

2. That "Edward Scissorhands" look. Back in February Mayer showed up at the Grammys looking like Johnny Depp circa 1991. Once you get beyond the "WTF?" factor, you have to respect the seemingly bland Mayer for taking a chance like that. You think Dave Matthews or Jason Mraz would attempt the goth look?

3. Ladies love him. Guys, if you don't see a single 20- or 30something woman Monday it's because they're all at Mayer's show. Mayer has dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, Heidi Klum and Jessica Simpson. It's like he's trying to assemble his own version of Charlie's Angels. Maybe that's a reason to hate him.

4. John Mayer is street. Mayer has collaborated with rappers Kanye West, Nelly and Common. Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams have both expressed admiration for Mayer's music. On "John Mayer Has a TV Show" the singer took rapper Trick Daddy on a tour of Nashville.

5. He really can play. If you ignore the fact that "Your Body is a Wonderland" is one of the worst "I'm blatantly trying to get laid" songs of all time, Mayer's other material shows some talent. Check out the John Mayer Trio album "Try!," focusing more on blues than his usual acoustic fare.

Leary the Irish American

Massachusetts born comedian Dennis Leary is an emblem of the sardonic wit of the Irish. [see: Conan O'Brien(who is somehow related to Leary through marriage), Rosie O'Donnell(not as proud)]

With two comedy albums (No Cure For Cancer, Lock 'N Load) that comment on everything from the NRA, vegetarians, and drug use, to the Kennedy's, Elvis, and the Lord of the Dance; Leary demonstrates through television, film, stand up and more... his dark twisted side all the while remaining purely hilarious.


More than an entertainer the man is also a philanthropist. Founder and President of the Leary Firefighters Foundation; which since its creation in 2002, has distributed over $2.5 million to fire departments from Boston to NYC for new equipment, training materials, vehicles, and facilities. Leary has remained active in all of the fundraising, and usually presents large checks and donated equipment personally.

The close relationship he has developed with the FDNY, as well as individual firefighters across the New York/New England area, has resulted in Leary's most recent television show 'Rescue Me' on FX.

After the deaths of 343 firemen in the September 11 Attacks Leary's foundation created the Fund for New York's Braves and have distributed over $2 million to their families, as well as providing funding for necessities such as a new mobile command center, first responder training, and a high-rise simulator for the FDNY's training campus.

Irish Catholics all around the nation should be very proud - I am.

Henry

Henry Cavill is the sex god of the moment:



He is of course gonna be linked with some English socialite soon I'm sure... in order to confirm his sexuality I'm okay with this.

1 problem - recently worked with quasi single English socialite Sienna Miller who I like but now I'm not okay with that match, which would ruin the sex god for me.

The Tudors did this one... by putting him on screen - naked, having rather rough sex with MANY women, all in period clothes with historical background a flutter i.e. 'i think my knees are weak' (see bottom)

Read an entire book (290+ pgs) in 20- hours about the relationship between Tudor princess Mary Rose and Charles Brandon (played by Cavill on 'The Tudors') ... I wonder why?

Only a true god gets a girl to read like that ... and watch ... and imagine... etc....
