Mad About Mark Valley

Who remembers Mark Valley from his Days of Our Lives role, Jack Deveraux? I do and thought he was cute then, but his character was somewhat annoying. Fifteen years later he is no longer cute. He is hot…Hot… HOT!

I didn’t care for him on Pasadena and was disappointed to see him cast on Fringe (a show I was really looking forward to). But to my surprise, I liked him a lot more in his Fringe role than any of his previous ones. However, it wasn’t until he got his own show, Human Target, that he jumped off the charts. He is excelling in the James Bond-ish character Christopher Chance. I checked out Human Target solely out of boredom, and am no longer bored.

Hot and Sweaty From Down Under

All I can say about Jamie Durie is, “wow!” He first caught my attention when PBS had him host their snooze fest of a gardening show, The Victory Garden. He seemed held back as its host and didn’t fit with the other drab segment hosts.

I was intrigued when I heard he would be hosting a new gardening show on HGTV and tuned in. OMG he shines on this show as he seems in his element as the designer whose eye is always changing and seeing new things to do and accomplishing the impossible. He is dirty. He is sweaty. His muscles bulge as he digs right in with the workers and doesn’t maintain the cookie cutter “show host” persona that HGTV has come to style all of its hosts as — making them unwatchable. Jamie is the exception to the rule in every sense and his show, The Outdoor Room is a true gem and may even help reignite the “garden” part of HGTV as the channel seems to have forgotten they have a G in their name.

Here’s hoping for more seasons of The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie and his hot, dirty, sweaty and muscled Aussie self.

Johnny Boy is Da Man

Now things have been set right. John Barrowman was voted Favorite Male TV Star in AfterElton’s Second Annual Gay Peoples’ Choice Awards!

John crushed the competition (Neil Patrick Harris) by a landslide, correcting the injustice when Neil stole the crown of Gay of Decade from him by mounting a tweeting war. Pay back is a bitch and she is a hot 41-year-old dude named John who can do everything from singing and dancing to wielding guns and time travel to save the world from invading aliens. Take that Neil Patrick Harris!

Gay of the Decade is… Not John Barrowman

AfterElton and its readers have crowned Neil Patrick Harris with the title of Gay/Bisexual Man of the Decade, with John Barrowman being runner up. The caption for the photo they ran with the story should have:

Neil: “Ohhh yeah. Was there any doubt?”
John: “Are you fucking kidding me?”

You must be very disconnected if you haven’t heard about the social media battle between the two hot celebs. To ensure each would win, they enlisted their gazillion Twitter and other media followers to vote. They were neck-in-neck until Neil pulled out his bullybamboozle and escalated a war of tweets. Well, if John didn’t win then I’m glad Neil did. However, John Barrowman is still the Gay Man of the Decade in my eyes.

Adam Lambert Rocks ‘n’ Riles

Adam Lambert not only rocked the American Music Awards, but riled up with his provocative performance. Though his style’s not my thing, he’s extremely talented and pushed the envelope by kissing and simulating a blow job with a male band member and dancer.

Had it been performed by a woman or a straight man with female counterparts, no one would’ve noticed it for anything other than a mediocre rock performance (I’ve seen him do better). Nothing that he did hasn’t been done before with all parties being straight. Had this been during the 8PM time slot, I’d agree that it was in appropriate, but given that it was nearly 11PM, there was nothing at all wrong with it. Rock on, Adam!

Bad-Ass Bass

Whoa! Okay, so I am totally on team Lance. Well, always was! How incredibly hot is he looking? NYSNC’s popularity went as fast as it came, but as a former follower (please don’t hate me) I could never understand the appeal of Justin Timberlake, who became the breakout star from the former boy band. Maybe I don’t like him because he reminds me of an almost-sort-of boyfriend? Who Knows!

But Lance on the other hand was kind of the dark horse behind JT’s limelight, whose own light has been shining brighter and brighter. Look out Timberlake… you could be the next one to have his ass kicked into the dust just like the dude in this photo.

Idol Without Paula?

Say it isn’t so? American Idol without Paula Abdul? I can’t imagine it. What is Fox thinking? They went to great lengths to keep Simon and Ryan, but what about Paula? Or is it her new manager that caused the breakup?

No mater what, Paula will be sorely missed on the show. In fact I may have to rethink committing so much time to watching American Idol when the primary reason I watched was because of the interaction between Simon and Paula (and yeah because of cutie Seacrest too).

Brody, Ryan and Straightness

Bromance. Really? Okay, this new MTV show should be called Dunderhead because that is what all of those guys are. Well, the gay dude aside as he had the sense to flee when he caught sight of what was to be. If this is typical straight guy behavior, then I’m ever so thankful Dorothy is my friend. What nonesense.

Don’t get me wrong, Brody is hot (although I prefer hairy-chested Brody) and one or two of the guys aren’t too bad on the eyes either, but what is the point of this show? Is Brody, who seems to have everything going for him, really that hard up to find a true friend? Well I suppose if what we have been seeing is any indication of what he and his friends will get up to.

One also wonders why on earth Ryan Seacrest would attach his name to this project. Between Bromance and Mama’s Boys, both shows of which are executive produced by Seacrest, me thinks he is trying to make a statement about his “straightness.” I suppose that one can’t question is he or isn’t he any longer, for how could a gay guy think this was watchable? Then again, if it were bromance with Ryan Seacrest, where do I apply?
