Freddie Ljungberg is one of the world's leading soccer players and one of the hottest to boot! Freddie is also now known for being Calvin Klein's new face for men's underwear. Until recently, Freddie has spent his soccer career in the U.K. However, starting in the 2009 season, he will be playing and leading for the Seattle Sounders here in the United States. I think it's time for me to invest in MLS tickets!

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of World AIDS Day. While there has been great progress made, this disease still kills thousands of people each day. It's not overstating, and it's not hype. More than two million people died of AIDS-related causes in 2007.

There are things each of us can do to make an impact, and no action is too small. Anything from writing your favorite AIDS charity or advocacy group a check to volunteering your time, from buying a cup of coffee to simply wearing red today.

A quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Brady Quinn started his career with Notre Dame. He has been dubbed, "The Fittest Quarterback in the World." Sadly, this fall he has been on the injured list. The good news is that his face has been spared -- he injured his right index finger.

We wish Brady Quinn a speedy recovery. He has many years ahead of him!

Karl Warden is one of the seven smoldering brothers premiering on the Seattle stage tomorrow night in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at The 5th Avenue Theatre. (And there's plenty more where he came from!) The men outnumber the women two-to-one in the cast of 29, and you'll see plenty of talent and athleticism onstage.

A retired diver, Karl has since moved on to dance in New York city before touring around the world with shows like Chicago and Fosse. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers runs from December 3rd through December 28th, 2008.

Fantastic photographic artist Dylan Rosser, has been neglected here recently -- but when we saw Daniel Miller's smoldering gaze in our e-mail this morning we had to share.

Dylan's artistic nude photography might not be something we can fully showcase in this venue (Hi Mom!), but you can clearly see his talent even in this selection of non-nudes. I purchased his book, x-posed, last month and can say that his work is just as amazing in print as it is onscreen.

We got a chance to chat with Andrew Oldershaw about life, his many projects, being featured on the November 2008 cover of Instinct Magazine, and how normal guys like you and I can get started making a difference in our own community.

Enlarge Photo | Credit: Mark Oberlin

How has the reaction to your Instinct cover been?

My friends joke and poke and give me grief, but I've gotten a ton of emails from total strangers. It gives you goosebumps when a young gay kid you've never met from Illinois tells you his life story and that he's planning to get a few friends together to start a pro-social community group after reading it. I've had people ask about coming out, about organizations to donate to, about how they can roll up their sleeves and do something. That's exactly why I did it. That's the spirit of standing and being counted. I guess you never know (and certainly never expect) how one seemingly ordinary life can influence others. I'm touched. We've got a lot of work to do, and we'll need all hands on deck.

Surf Camp - Session 01 from Surf Camp on Vimeo.

Surf Camp is officially in session! Check out the video above, where in their first session our five handsome gay boys try their hands at surfing for the first time! Filmmaker Vincent Rommelaere and Aussie website Same Same bring us along as the boys struggle to find their footing. The pressure is on to perform, as the online audience will whittle the troupe down to a single surfer left standing.

Watch the episode above, then head to Same Same to vote for your favorite surfer boy.

Ginch Gonch has had a knack for choosing noteworthy models in the past, and their latest pick is bound to cause some excitement around the blogosphere as well. They have tapped Mixed Martial Arts fighter Ryan Ford to be the face (and body) of The Load'N and Dump'N collection.

Ginch Gonch is known for their playful designs that are reminiscent of the undies we wore as youngsters, and during their launch they reveled in tackling what they saw as the "boring" world of men's underwear with their humor and playfulness.

Ryan "The Real Deal" Ford will be the first MMA contender to accept an underwear company's endorsement, but he seems to be taking it all in stride. "I'll knock out anyone who makes fun of me in my Ginch," he said, adding that the briefs remind him "to take at least two moments each day from my rigorous
training and smile. After all, I'm living my childhood dream."

We have a feeling he'll be making his way into the dreams of some new admirers very soon. The Load'N and Dump'N collection will be available for sale to retailers beginning Monday.

Craig David made his musical debut in 2000 on the UK Charts at the age of 19. His soulful voice and R&B flavor have made him a hit in the UK, United States, and 19 other countries. Not to say his chiseled handsome looks haven't helped either!

By 2008, he has released 5 albums, his Greatest Hits album being his latest. We congratulate Craig on the release of his Greatest Hits album, which hit the shelves on November 24th, 2008.

Here is a video of Craig's latest hit, Insomnia:

Cam Gigandet has recently graced us with his presence in the vampire flick, Twilight. For hardcore Cam fans, he also played Kevin for 2 seasons on The O.C. He has also been the subject of a Men's Health article and even appeared on the cover. The results of his rigorous work-out, his interest in krav maga (hand-to-hand combat used by Israeli Special Forces), and strict diet are easy to see.

He has THREE movies slated for 2009 so keep your eyes peeled: The Unborn, Pandorum, and Five Star Day.

Craig Horner is hitting the radar hard and fast. He is relatively new to the screen, but his chiseled body has led to a couple roles where he seems to be missing his shirt. Not that any of us are complaining! His latest accomplishment is a TV series called, Legend of the Seeker. Here's to hoping that this Aussie hottie makes the jump across the water to the rest of us in the world. Until then, we can watch from a distance and send letters to Australia to release him from captivity.

The Santa Speedo Run took place again over the weekend in chilly Boston, Mass. Each runner raised over $250 for this year's charity, Cradles to Crayons, before being allowed to leave their clothes behind and run through the Boston commons. Over the past eight years, the Santa Speedo Run has raised nearly a quarter million dollars for various charities.

I still contend that Seattle needs a similar event. Check out our previous years' coverage of the Santa Speedo Run on Hunk du Jour!

I spent some time really thinking about what to say regarding Christmas. Not really satisfied with the stock of "Hunky Christmas" men on the web, I decided to take my holidays wishes to Photoshop. One of my favorites hunky photos from over the years was a scene from the movie James Bond: Casino Royale. All I had to add was a festive hat and some red shorts, and there you have it! Just imagine laying on a nice tropical beach and receiving your Christmas gifts this year via Craig Daniel from the ocean!
