Aside from having one of the most interesting official websites I've seen, Matthew Gray Gubler is also a laugh riot. I just watched a couple of episodes of his "Unauthroized Biography" movie on YouTube. Perfectly complimenting his humor is his adorkable "geek chic" looks.

Matthew can be seen each week on Criminal Minds, the CBS crime drama where he is on a team of FBI agents getting inside the criminals' heads to anticipate next moves and save the day.

Anyone that knows me is aware of my big ol' crush on Ben Curtis. I recently tracked him down on MySpace and asked him if he would answer a few questions. You may remember Ben from the "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" commercials a few year backs. Look for Ben appearing again soon in commercials for Sobe drinks.

How many people still recognize you from your Dell ads?
These days? About 1/4 of the people I see on the street recognize me, but I can see in their eyes that they don't know from where. Every now and then (once or twice a week), someone recognizes me, they know exactly where from and they shout it to the world....I guess I still get 'em excited :-))

Do you want to punch people in the face when they come up to you and say "Dude your getting a Dell"?
These days, absolutely not. I believe in peace. If someone yells that at me, I'm flattered. I might think to myself, "Well that guy was obnoxious, but maybe I made his day.." Most people only say it when they're really excited or star struck. People definitely love to say it themselves.

Do you still get asked to say "Dude your getting a Dell?"
I definitely get asked to say it all the time. However, I politely remind them that I was paid to say that for many years, but they're welcome to say it themselves!

What kind of computer do you use now?
A Dell laptop, but I wish I owed an Apple.... My Dell has seen its last days long ago. It doesn't work half the time! You think they'd give me a new one!

What was it like going to an all boys school growing up? I have had fantasies about that, but I'm assuming it was quite different for a straight guy!
Oh yes! It was a great atmosphere for bonding and studying (without the ladies around to distract us). My teachers were amazing, the school was a lot of fun. However, hazing and homophobia were a huge problem. Plus, I was friends with the only openly gay guy at school, so I , of course, was automatically branded as gay. I would love to go back now and see all the people that finally came out!

You were in John Fisher's comedy Joy, (you played a gay character) and your dad is openly gay - What was that experience like?
To be exact, my character (Christian) was 'pansexual' and then became fully gay by the end. It was actually very humbling and liberating. Too many guys are worried about 'how they come off' sexually. I just hope that I can be an example that straight men can dance, be sexy, effiminate, and open to the beauty of everyone. Also I kinda felt like I was representing my dad. That was nice.

Be sure to visit Ben's website and listen to some of the bands that he has been involved with. Thanks to Ben for taking time for us and we look forward to seeing you around!

Spider-Man 3 hype is heating up, so I think this is a valid question... which do you prefer? Tobey or James? Good or Evil? Geeky Chic or Smouldering Stud?

Let us know in the comments... and keep it decent for Pete's sake, my Mom reads this. =)

Ricky, Ricky -- I must thank you again. It's been just over a year since all of the gossip blogs were buzzing over your previous photos frolicking on the beach. I'm glad you're still out there showing us you haven't lost it.

...come to Seattle? There's a creek near our house where you can cool off! ...or you can just dust our house or something.

Congrats to American Idol alumnus Chris Daughtry. His band, Daughtry, is celebrating another week on top of the charts and has the new "Goodbye, you're going home" song on Idol.

Speaking of Idol... the boys this week really stunk up the joint. At least the girls are bringing it!

I confess that I have been in love with Skeet Ulrich since I first saw him in his double-whammy of teen scream debuts in 1996, Scream and The Craft. (Over 10 years ago? Really? Ouch!)

Back then there were a lot Skeet fans out there, but a lot of them had fallen to the wayside as I've continued to hold the torch for him through thick and thin. All of the bad facial hair periods; the "too skinny" and then "too bloaty" years; his horrible movie role choices (Chill Factor anyone?)

I've participated in letter writing campaigns to save a tv show that he starred in; I've seen the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie he did a few years ago almost as many times as I have Xanadu; I told people that I watched the Steven Speilberg mini-series Into The West because of the painstaking care and detail they put into the historical accuracy, but it was really because Skeet looks good on a horse.

He's currently starring in the CBS hit series Jericho, which just began again after its Lost-like winter hiatus. It's weird to have Skeet so accessible again; these past years I've had to settle for catching him in bit parts here or there. Now I can see his pretty face every week. Here's hoping for several more seasons of weekly sojourns with this handsome man.

Check out other photos in our previous entry, Skeet Ulrich : Jericho, or after the jump!

We have a seriously hot guy to highlight for this week's MySpace Monday feature...

Bruno is a delicious Portuguese model who is so adorable that I almost can't stand it. When I asked about featuring him on MySpace Monday, he stated it would be an honor. Sigh. I know he is straight, but I love me some Bruno!

Check out his MySpace profile.

Bruno é muito sexy!

One of the few guys on American Idol we can stand listening to is Blake Lewis -- this hot Washington native (go home team!) has made it into the Top 12 finals. He's known for his eclectic song choices and beat-boxing backups during Hollywood week and beyond.

Good luck in the finals, Blake -- Washington State is rooting for you!

I saw this picture first and I thought he is cute in a Lance Bass kind of way. Then I saw the pictures that you can see after the jump and wow. Lance who..... This guy may have just fried my lap top he is so hot. Why isn't there more of him to be found on the net!!!!

Lance is one of B1 Management models and they never seem to fail us!

I saw this handsome guy smiling at me from the iTunes store tonight and I had to check it out. Jake Owen is a newcomer to the scene, but this young up-and-coming star has the voice of a seasoned professional. Though he'd planned since childhood to be a professional golfer, life took him into the music business after a waterskiing accident cut his golfing career short.

The accident forced reconstructive surgery not only on his sore body, but his aspirations. While healing up in his apartment, he borrowed a neighbor's guitar and learned how to play. Later on he wandered into a bar and started playing for $75 a night, free beer, and plenty of attention from girls.

Things are picking up steam for Jake now, keep an eye out for him!

Paolo Nutini has kicked off his US tour. This 20-year-old Scotsman is selling out venues, and forcing shows to be moved from smaller venues due to such popular demand.

At the recommendation of my friend Becca, I bought his debut album, These Streets from iTunes. I'm impressed thus far! I'm not a music reviewer by any means (try Arjan Writes for that), but on a scale of "Suck to Awesome" he ranks up there at pretty darn good.

He's a looker too, rockin' the bed head look. Check out his music and tour dates on his MySpace band profile!

P.S. Hey Becca! Go Preppies!

I saw this picture while thumbing through April's Out Magazine. Wow! The actual ad shows a little more (The hottie in the jacket is in his underwear), but this picture is still pretty nice. You can get this as wallpaper if you visit the A|X site.

I also found it interesting that their site has a "hot or not feature". Be sure to check out some of those hotties!

I think this UK model even has a sexy name to go with his looks. While I haven't spoken to him, I bet he even sounds hot. After exchanging a few emails with Adam, I have decided that he is one of my current favorites. He seems like such a nice guy, well put together and has a great attitude on life. He was even kind enough to answer some of my silly little questions. Thanks Adam!

How old were you when you first started to model and did you pursue it or were you pursued?
I started quite late at 25, my best friend was in the industry years ago and kept pushing me to do it.

Are most of your friends in the industry or do you try to keep work/social life apart?
The majority of my friends are in the industry but thats like any other job, you tend to spend alot of your time socialising with people you work with. I do like to keep my social life seperate at times though, its alot healthier and needed for your sanity!

You live in London, but you have been all over the world. Where have you not been, but want to visit? What is your favorite place in the world?
I haven't been to Rio, i'd love to go there for the carnival I imagine its incredible, there are too many places i'd like to visit to mention here but I'd like to visit more of Europe and New Zealand which i missed out when i went travelling. I loved Sydney to me it was the complete place to live but i also loved the islands in Thailand its too hard to choose one.

What have you appeared in that included your personal favorite pictures?
My favourite picture was a cover shot for a mens fitness magazine "Healthy for Men", I was in the best shape i'd been in and it was shot a month before I went in for an emergency operation on my stomach, it was also the last time i did a body shoot and is my motivation to get my body back into shape after my operations.

Any desire to act or are you pretty satisfied with modeling?
Acting is never something that has interested me and i dont see it as an area i'm that interested in pursuing but never say never!

Besides modeling you are also a web developer. If you only could work at one of the two which would you choose?
Thats a hard question...because modelling affords me the spare time in my life to pursue other things and the lifestyle etc but the web design keeps my mind stimualted, it is my release for my creative side and is alot more satisfying than the modelling as far as the work goes, i guess i'd choose the web design, cos once the wrinkles set in , the brain just keeps going!

Does beeing oogled by a bunch of gay guys make a straight guy like yourself uncomfortable?
No not at all, it just means they've got great taste ! ha ha

What is your dating life like? Do you even have time for it?
Yeah there is always time for that , but right now i'm focussing on getting myself better after my operations and on my modelling and design but like i said never say never, it always comes along when u least expect it.

You have had a couple of surgeries with one more to go. What has been the worst and best part of what you have gone through?
The worst part was losing my apetite and alot of weight in hospital, also the little things like taking your top off in the summer, thats why i'm looking forward to this summer so much. The best things have been it has taught me alot about myself, my inner mental strength, who and what is really important in life, it has also made a couple of bonds in my family alot stronger, there have definately been alot of positives to come out of it, but i always look for the positive in every situation, that stops you from going under.

In order to survive you have to become a kept man by one of the following. Who do you become houseboy for? Judy Dench, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep or Paul Ruebens
I think i'd have to choose Helen Mirren she used to be quite a fox i believe.

At the risk of becoming pretty annoying -- we'd like to let you know that the Round of 32 Voting (see bracket) is now open for March Gayness.

I think we're in trouble, as we're up against the fantastic blog Josh vs. Josh. Vote in this round for your favorites -- there have already been some huge upsets in the race!

Love,
Chris, Doug & Kat

8:00 pm Update
A good friend saw the latest post on Josh vs. Josh and sent it my way. It kind of came out of left field, and was a disappointing characterization.

I'm just glad we made it into the Round of 32. Thanks for the support.

7:11 am update
I swapped e-mails with Josh K from Josh & Josh last night. He says their post was supposed to be funny, and has since been rewritten. I believe that their intent wasn't malicious and that they are good guys, just didn't make a great first impression with me.

He's not just the "I'm a Mac" guy -- Justin Long has been on our radar since his 1999 appearance in Space Quest. Since then he's appeared in both Jeepers Creepers movies, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Accepted, and Dreamland.

Here are some stills from the movie Dreamland, where we get to see more of Justin than we had before...

We heard about this great photo shoot from Vman, and I think I need to head to the bookstore and get my hands on a copy... hell, a SUBSCRIPTION, as soon as possible.

Amongst this smokin' photo shoot of our sexy Olympians (Yay! We get to break out the "Hot Olympians" category again!) are other features on Chris Evans and Orlando Bloom. But, back to the swimmers!

Amongst the team of swimmers is golden boy Michael Phelps, but is another one of these darlings ready to jump off the blocks and butterfly into our hearts and dreams? And what of the water polo team members below?

There a division in our household. One of us really likes Blake Lewis and the other one of us loves Mr. Richardson. Don't get me wrong both of us are hoping that Melinda Doolittle takes the prize home, but when it comes to which American Idol is the hottest...well we are torn.

Here is hoping that both of them last a long time! Which one do you prefer?

So, I had a pretty awesome post all written about Taylor -- and Safari decides to lock up before I saved my work. I'll do the abbreviated version this time, and save my work often.

We first featured the handsome Taylor Kitsch when his feature film, The Covenant, premiered. (Did you see those abs when he's walking around in the swim trunks? Seriously -- check out the previous post!)

He's been busy since then, of course -- including being one of the stars of the NBC Drama Friday Night Lights as well as appearing in (Mother F*king) Snakes on a (Mother F*king) Plane

We highlight actors, models, musicians and various other famous hot guys on a daily basis. Sometimes we forget that there are hot guys all around us, though! Today's featured hunk is Aaron! This cute guy is taken (Sorry!), but he did take some time to answer some of our questions.

What on earth are you doing in Europe for so long?
I'm in Europe while my boyfriend finishes his semester abroad. I majored in Art History so this is the perfect place to see it all in person! I have yet to see the art since shopping has distracted me, so I guess I'll have to stay a little longer ;)

When we read your MySpace profile you really can't tell if you are in a relationship or not... (I'm being totally sarcastic here.) How long have you guys been together?
We've been together for a year but are disturbingly perfect together so it seems a lot longer than that.

Was it love at first sight?
It was more attraction at first, but we realized how perfect we were together almost immediately. The last year has been amazing and gone by so fast!

You went to school in Seattle any plans on returning here after you have gotten Europe our of your system?
I'm from a small town south of Seattle so it will always be home. After Europe who knows where we'll end up...hopefully New York.

What has been your favorite place to visit so far?
Italy was amazing! Unlike in France, the people are beautiful and genuinely nice. I could live off nutella gelatto!

Are you missing anything in the states right now?
I miss little things like talk shows and refills on my giant diet cokes. Europe is so inefficient which is very stressing on an American who likes to shop 24/7.

What are you both planning on doing in the near future?
I'm planning on going to design school; I want to do restoration architecture. I love taking something old and making it work in a modern way. My boyfriend is going to be finishing up his business degree specializing in Finance...so much fun!

In order to save your boyfriends life you have to become a love slave for one of the following. Who do you pick? Phyllis Diller, Carol Channing or Joan Rivers
Oh definitely Joan Rivers! I'd get a special on E! And think of all the plastic attachments!!

Thanks, Aaron!

I have to admit that I knew absolutely nothing about James Purefoy. (Sorry, James.) After a little research I found that he plays Marc Anthony in HBO's series, Rome. Unfortunately, we refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for extra cable channels at home (that money is better used for broadband anyway, right?) so I haven't actually gotten a chance to see the show yet.

Until Comcast decides they don't want to make a profit (or ROME comes to iTunes) I'll have to just drudge up production photos on the interwebs. Here's a lovely selection of James' photos.

Don't forget to leave a comment to win a CD and Vote for us in the Elite 8!

Michael Phelps is a man on a mission. Earlier today he set his third world record at the 2007 FINA World Championships in Melbourne, Australia. His time in the 200m individual medley final beat his previous record in the event by just under a second.

...the kid is unstoppable! He has 4 gold medals, and just seems to be warming up for the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics.

We'll celebrate Michael Phelps the only way we know how... you know where to find the rest of the photos!
