Sparks are flyin this July 4th for Dylan Rosser's newest Male Form, 25-yr old Empire model Matthew Ludwinski. Most recently seen in Fantasticsmag as Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Horsehide, you might also remember Matthew from Genre's "Global Package," shot by Rick Day.

John Krasinski is Adorkable

What's up guys! I am very excited to be the a Guest Hunkologist to fill in during Chris' absence. As an enthusiast of all things adorkable, I always think the world could definitely use more of these rare type of hotties and my obvious choice would definitely be none other than John Krasinski. From "that guy" in The Office, John has made his mark in Hollywood in a very short time, with major roles along with existing A-listers (like resident hottie George Clooney.) He looks more like that cute funny guy next door you always had a crush on than a super celebrity, which is a huge part of his (dorky) charms.

Plenty more photos after the jump!

Guest Hunkologist: SquareHippies is one of the best places to find screencaps of the hottest celebrity guys.

Because of the holiday, we pushed back the TPiR guys... but -- we added 3 more to make up for it! Who do you fancy this week?

Friday TPiRness...

UPDATE: Fixed an issue with this blog post's file name.

I’m so thrilled to be able to be a Guest Hunkologist on one of the hottest sites on the net, Hunk du Jour! Oooh la la. I love how Christopher puts together a delicious daily assortment of sexy men for your enjoyment and inspiration.

On our daily talk show Feast of Fools, we sometimes get to meet some really sexy men who manage to shatter all expectations, break new ground and excel at what they do.

Here are a few of my favorites, along with their chosen professions:

B Scott, Video Blogger

B Scott, Video Blogger
Video blogger B. Scott is so much about love that he even puts the word love before his name on his YouTube channel and blog LoveBScott.

B. Scott bridges the sometimes too wide chasm between stud and sissy and works his lithe black body in hypnotic ways.

Yes, he’s a queen, but he’s fierce and I could see him blowing my mind in the sack.

Listen to the interview with B Scott “B Scott is Hot” here.

Eric Himan, Musician

Eric Himan, Musician
I first heard of Eric on a now defunct blog that talked about hunky gay musicians and Eric was the hottest one!

Eric’s indie-inspired full arm tattoos, short tight body and crooner voice reveal a guy who has it all and who’s music packs a soulful punch.

I bet Eric’s a great kisser, I mean, look at those pouty lips!

Listen to the interview with Eric Himan on “Eric Himan Resonates” here.

Joel Cabrera and Bryan Herb, Travel Experts

Joel Cabrera & Bryan Herb, Travel Experts
We couldn’t decide which one of these guys was hotter. Joel and Bryan met on the streets of Miami Beach and today work and live as a gay couple running Zoom Vacations, the award-winning gay travel company.

In our interview with them, Bryan and Joel talked about putting together fun stylish, authentic and care-free experiences for their customers, often pointing them to lesser known destinations that make for an extraordinary gay vacation.

I can summarize their sex appeal- big thumbs, big pecs and a great sense of adventure.

Listen to the interview with Joel and Bryan “Inside Gay Travel.”

Guest Hunkologist: Fausto Fernos and Marc Felion host Feast of Fools, an award-winning LGBT comedy podcast full of wicked fun.

Come on down to find six more hotties from The Price is Right! Any catch your eye?

Hello, Hunk Lovers!

We're back from holiday, all rested up and ready to go. My self-imposed exile from the blog was (as usual) hard to maintain... but for all of our sanity it is good to take a week off now and then.

Please join me in thanking our awesome Guest Hunkologists from last week: Ethan from Ethan Says, the great fellow from SquareHippies, Fausto Fernos from Feast of Fools, as well as our resident Assistant Hunkologist Troy!

I think you'll agree that they did a great job weighing in with their expertise in our favorite field. Perhaps we'll introduce more regular updates from these and others -- it's great to have new points of view!

Kerry Degman Shirtless

Doug and I shaved our heads tonight... So long as I don't catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I walk around pretending I look like Kerry Degman. Ok, maybe with much fewer visible muscles -- but the hair cut is a start.

Mark Munroe

Mark Munroe spoke with us back in February and has graced our inbox again with some sexy new photos by Michael Ching.

We have two more photos after the jump, and don't forget to watch Mark's website to keep track of his progress in taking over the world.

Alexandre Despatie from LActualite magazine

I love Olympic season... especially the Summer Olympics. This morning, Towleroad featured this photo Alexandre Despatie on the cover of L'Actualite magazine.

It's time to dust off that "Hot Olympian" category again!

UPDATE: Whadda ya know -- I busted the site then ran off for happy hour with my sister. Please accept my apologies. :)

Ryan Holbert

Ryan Holbert is a model and photographer, and of course we're jazzed whenever we see him in front of the camera. He shot this set with Rick Day in New York, and was nice enough to share them with us!

There's quite a difference between the man in this new set from the prior photos we featured -- and it's all for the better! We talked to Ryan over a year ago, check out his MySpace Monday post!

Ryan Holbert

Summertime on CBS means that it's time for Big Brother to return. Among this year's houseguests is Jessie Godderz, a bodybuilder and fitness model.

Jessie also appeared on one of those MTV dating shows (which are completely uncomfortable to watch.) I haven't fired up the TiVo to see how he's doing in the house yet -- I can only hope that it's better than on MTV!

[ Jessie Godderz - Shirtless Perfection ]

Update: I really wanted to like Jessie more than I did... Let's hope that he displays a little more personality and likability in the coming week.

Update: The photographs have been removed at the request of the photographer, whose name we were unable to locate during research for publication.

Friday TPiRness...

Come on down to find 9 more hotties from The Price is Right! Any catch your eye?

BTW -- this is the last batch of new TPiR guys for the season... starting next week, we'll be doing a "best of" contest to determine who's the best of 'em all.

What are you wearing right now as you read this email?
I am wearing a white shirt from H&M, a sweater vest from Express, white CK briefs, and socks, white... =D

When was the last time you went dancing?
Ugh, too long. Actually,I went to this rave thing a couple weeks ago, but that doesnt count. I don't really go dancing as much as I would like beacause there's nowhere really to go around here. I spend a lot of time dancing by myself haha. But sometimes I go to clubs in the city and that's always amazing. I plan to move to San Francisco soon and hopefully I'll be able to get into the gay seen a little more, it's where I belong.

You state that Dancing and masturbating are both good releases. If you had to give up one for the rest of your life which would you give up?
Haha, dancing. It would be really hard to give up but I mean.. who could give up masturbating??

Favorite Ben & Jerry's Ice cream?
Ooo toughy.. New York Super Fudge Chunk. But there are so many others that I love. I'm pretty big on desserts. I'm super skinny but I can put it down with the best of them ;)

Last song you listened to on your iPod?
Independence Day by Elliott Smith, he is amazing. I recommend that everyone listen to him because his voice is so beautiful and soothing and his lyrics actually mean something. Whenever I'm down, there's always the perfect Elliott Smith song to make me feel better.

Last movie you saw?
The Happening, it was soo bad. It had a pretty good premise but it just got really stupid really fast. Mark Walberg was hot though.

What was the most exciting thing you did this weekend?
I found a place to live!! My parents have been kind of kicking me out of the house ever since I got back from college this summer, and all of the places I looked at were not going to work or I'd have to live with weirdos. But I found this really cute little place that I'm going to share with this girl. She's really fun and I'm going to have a h
