The good folks over at DIY Networks are onto a formula that is hard to argue with... devastatingly handsome men showing you how to do things around the house! Ahmed Hassan is the latest to join the ranks. This sought-after landscaper from the San Francisco Bay area is the host of Yard Crashers, where he gets to approach normal folks shopping at home improvement stores. He then hops in their car and heads home with them to help tackle their project!

We all saw the sizzling photos of Alan Ritchson's N2N Bodywear campaign, now we're able to get a peek at how the photo shoot went in these behind-the-scenes videos! (Turns out Alan doesn't have a changing room... just a guy holding up a coat.)

Since seeing stills of Alan isn't enough, we're sharing these two videos so that you can see Alan flexing, running up and down the pool, and sticking his tush out from behind his trench-coat-dressing-room. Plus, a bonus video of a poolside N2N fashion show!

I call my interest in Mario Lopez a healthy facination. My partner Doug might say that it's more like a disturbing preoccupation. (He just doesn't understand the bond between Mario and me.)

While he's remained in the nation's view since he bared all in Nip/Tuck and shook what he showed in Dancing with the Stars, the latest news out of the Lopez camp is his current run in A Chorus Line on Broadway. He joins the show in the role of Zach, a director looking to cast some of the hopeful dancers while prodding them into introspection about the life of chorus dancers.

Die-hard A Chorus Line fans may be unsure of the changes to the show allowing Mario to have a bit more time onstage (Zach spends the majority of the show as a disembodied voice, watching the auditioners from his desk at the back of the theater), but we've seen in his Dancing with the Stars appearance that he'll be able to keep up with the rest of the performers in the cast.

Corrospondents Josh & Josh had the opportunity to interview Mario for episode two of Towleroad TV, which has just been posted at Towleroad. Mario talks about his gay fanbase, joining the show, his fitness book, and the fact that they didn't have to photoshop the cover!

We talked with Todd & Eric Dammann last September when their cover of the Britney Spears song Gimme More was all the rage. (See our Q&A) Now these adorable gay twins are back with a cover of Rihanna's Umbrella. They've entered it for a contest at XuWee, and we think it's pretty great.

One quick post before bed. Gary and Larry Lane just dropped us a note promoting the music video they appear in. The video for Rise Up (by Bless the Fall) has been posted on their website, so check it out.

...and yes, I do go to bed before my grandparents. But don't you appreciate it when it means you get a nice post early each morning? *smile*

aussieBum's latest product line has hit the storefront! Their Bamboo line is available today in "glacier, pearl and ash" but they promise more colorful options soon. Bamboo is seen as a more eco-friendly material due to its very rapid growth rate of the plant and general lack of need for pesticides.

Whatever the environmental impact, the new line looks hot -- much sexier than the bamboo flooring we installed!
