If you don't watch Tom Baxter's video for Better and fall in love, then there is probably something wrong with you. The video is one of my most favorite in a long time.

Yes, Tom Baxter is adorable. And yes, we only post pictures of hot guys -- but this video reminds us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love the fact that this video includes people of all shapes, sizes, color and sexual orientation. I think I may love Tom...just a little bit....okay a ton.

Scouting For Girls Lead Singer Roy Stride

We have all been in love so badly that you are not sure how you can make it through it. This song and the cute Roy Stride pull that feeling off with Scouting for Girls' catchy tune - "She's So Lovely".

I could list all of the Jay Brannan songs that I love, but I would run out of room. If you don't know Mr. Brannan, at least check out the song "I Wanna Be A Housewife". That is probably my current favorite.

James Lafferty

One Tree Hill (Mondays, The CW) has returned for season six! While we've already discussed HDJ fave Joe Manganiello joining the cast last season, the other cast members -- such as James Lafferty here -- are also something to see!

UPDATE: I got the season premiere date wrong -- that's what I get for doing research so early in the morning! Thanks to Noel for rebound. :)

Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies

First off, I love-love-love Lee Pace, Pushing Daisies, and SuperHeroFan.net. I love Lee so much, I wish I'd gone up to propose when we saw him at the Pushing Daisies Paley Center event this year. (Alas -- I was turning into a pumpkin and my proposal would have been awkward with Doug right there with us.)

Pushing Daisies finally returned yesterday evening -- special bonus? Rooftop bee-saving with Chuck... shirtless?!?

You definitely have to check out the full set at SuperHeroFan.net!

Junior Magazine Issue 7 Exclusive photos

Junior Magazine is ready to ship issue seven, and was nice enough to send over these exclusive photos overnight of cover model Bernardo alongside Felipe Torreta, Felipe Anibal, and Lucas Malvacini.

We love all things "Made in Brazil" -- and are happy to add Junior Magazine to that list.

Greetings, Hunk lovers!

I'm proud to announce that just moments ago we released the next version of our fantastic Hunk of the Day application for Facebook users.

In addition to seeing our featured hunk on the "Boxes" tab of your profile, you can now vote for favorite nominee right from the application! You also have a handy link back to the nominee's original post on Hunk du Jour where they were originally featured -- so you can see all the photos from that particular set.

We're super excited about the changes, and are eager to add more features (feed notifications of your votes, share with a friend buttons, etc.) as my time allows. Let us know what you'd like to see in the comments!

Ngo Tien Doan

Good evening, humble hunk-lovers! Thanks to Aaron for pointing out what I missed this morning... the Hunk of the Day didn't appear!! Somehow in putting the finishing touches on our fancy new Facebook Application I managed not only to kill... but smash the auto-posting application into teeny tiny bits.

I have done a hasty rewrite, but I think we're in good shape again. (We'll know for sure in two hours when TOMORROW's hunk gets posted.)

Since we're talking about stuff behind the curtain - I'll also just say again that I truly appreciate everyone who reads, comments, sends e-mail, and shares us with their friends.

Thank-you so much for reading (and everything else!)

Alexander Alex Prinz, photographed by Zach Burns

Zach Burns has been a busy man, and we were delighted to see these new photos he just sent over of reFRESH cover model Alex Prinz.

While Zach is still modeling (he just appeared in a 6-page fashion spread for SuperSuper #13), these fantastic shots of Alex show that he is really honing his photography chops.

Check out some of Zach Burns the model on Hunk du Jour, and more of his great photography on his blog.

James Franco in Out Magazine

I love reading Matthew Rettenmund's blog, Boy Culture. Matthew has to have the happiest, gayest scanner in the world with all of the great editorial spreads he features!

Yesterday he had his sights on the James Franco cover article in Out Magazine featuring photos by Doug Inglish. James is currently promoting his latest project, the Gus Van Sant film Milk.

Check out all of the scans over at Boy Culture.

Ernestas Juodis

Ernestas Juodis comes to us courtesy of photographer Zach Burns, who saw something captivating in this young man who we have to admit is somewhat intriguing.

Mitch Hewer

We're totally mad for Skins, the UK import whose series two premiere aired this past weekend on BBC America. While the entire cast is amazing, we (of course) are partial to Mitch Hewer, who plays gay guy Maxxie. If you haven't seen this fantastic import, check it out!

Vote No on Prop 8

Pretty on the Outside joins the blog community in support of the No on Prop 8 campaign with this touching (and totally fake) portrait of Hugh Jackman and Robert Buckley.

Hunk du Jour isn't exactly a political voice in the blogosphere, but the stripping away of rights for gay Californians (including some of my personal friends) is something that should not be tolerated. Recent polls show that if the election were held today, Proposition 8 would pass by a 6-point margin and eliminate the right to marry for same-sex couples in California.

There has been a huge fundraising push by folks looking to kill the progress that has been made in California towards equality, and the conservative voices are now outspending the voices of equality.

I urge you to give what you can to the No On Prop 8 campaign. Please donate today. We're also donating ad space on Hunk du Jour to the campaign from now through election day.

We're proud to once again participate in Blog Action Day -- a day where once a year the blogosphere unites to raise awareness about a pressing issue of our time.

Please join me in supporting The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. We have made a personal contribution of $100, but urge you to give as much or as little as you can.

We're looking to raise at least $500 for the organization, and one or two angel donors would be all it takes.

Click here to donate. Thank-you!

Paul James as Calvin in Greek

Paul James plays gay frat pledge Calvin on ABC Family's GREEK. Here he's talking out his boy problems (he's dating Michael, played by the adorable Max Greenfield) with frat brother Evan as all cute frat boys should -- shirtless on the basketball court.

As always, superherofan.net brings you these amazing caps in case you didn't catch the episode.
