Heartthrobs Next Door, or How AfterElton.com's Hot 100 List is out! (pun!)

You know a Hot 100 List is gonna be mighty fine when Jared Leto is #100 (and no, there's no sarcasm in that sentence at all! - I may not be a fan of 30 Seconds to Mars, nor can I name a recent cinematic outing by Mr Leto, but all I have to say to you is: mascara + Alexander. I rest my case).

Go check out AfterElton.com Hot 100 List here. Jake 'Jack Twist' Gyllenhaal took the #1 spot. And it reminded me: "Jack-Twist" (v.) ie. 'I have just been jack-twisted' needs to happen; that and after watching SatC I want to start using 'colouring' as an euphemism.

Glad to have seen on the list: Christopher Gorham, Robert Downey Jr., Ricky Martin, Eric Mabius, Lee Pace, David Boreanaz, Ryan Gosling, Heath Ledger, & Neil Patrick Harris. (Funnily enough... I've blogged on every single one of 'em except for the two Ugly Betty hotties, but there was enough love for their show here)
Made me wonder why they were on this list: Matthew McConaughey (Why?), Shia LeBoeuf (for more on my Shay-ya thoughts) & especially T.R. Knight (c'mon, his character is a wimp, and he's not even that hot).
Pleasant Surprises: David Tennant (Scrumptious Doctor Who?), Jake Siberman & Van Hansis (who knew Daytime soaps had gay hotness?) & Luke McFarlane (do I really need to keep up with ABC's B&S now?).

And, of course, my faves:

Paul Rudd

What's sexier than a funny man? A sexy funny man who can rock the facial hair and whose name rhymes with thud. Clueless might be long-gone (in people's minds... I still watch it from time to time - by that I mean every Wednesday, of course) but Mr Rudd has aged into his looks and looks better than ever, n'est-ce pas?

Jamie Bamber

What is there to say about Lee 'Apollo' Adama that has not been said in the form of comments in gay and straight blogs/ forums/ list-servs/ bathroom stalls right after the infamous 'towel scene' on arguably one of the best (sci-fi) shows ever, Battlestar Galactica? Exactly. Just drool on.

James Marsden

I love that GAP ad. I really do. James looks so comfortable in that awkward pose that I'm going to pretend like I wasn't (re) watching Heights on TV yesterday. Cause I wasn't, I mean I don't watch Lifetime... unless James is macking on Jesse Bradford while Glenn Close rehearses for Lady M that is.

Christian Bale

Yes, I know POP COLONY has this one covered, what with his stunning Details cover, but I just had to include Bruce Wayne in here because if there's something I love in a man it's talent, and Mr Bale - with projects like American Psycho, The Machinist & 3:!0 To Yuma has shown he has plenty of it! Good thing he's not hard on the eyes.

Zac Effron

You know I had to include Mr T(w)een Heartthrob. Just look at him! And it's legal... right? Meh, who cares. The guy can sing! (well, when someone else isn't recording the HSM 1 soundtrack for him) and dance! (Oh Link!) and can make you swoon with low-rise trunks! Now that's talent, I say.

Heartthrobs Next Door, or How Hispanic Singers are Hot

I know what you're thinking: "Great... we thought this could be a blog where gratuitous sexy male pictures wouldn't be found" but I'm here to appease you. Now go on, Enjoy them! You know you want to.
Just cause I can, here's a list of impossibly attractive Hispanic male singers that make me drool... And oh yeah, they're talented too and you should check out their work.

Alejandro Sanz
Best known in the English-speaking world for his duet with Shakira La Tortura (remember him? He was the one not writhing in oil in that film clip), but Alejandro has been around for more than a decade now, not only being delectable but also offering great music to swooning hordes of female (and male) fans.
Download This: (yes, if EW can do it, so can I!) Te Lo Agradezco Pero No - feat Shakira, and Cuando Nadie Me Ve.

Carlos Ponce
If you are wondering who Carlos is the answer is simple: A soap opera star who also got an album produced by the Estefans. And more than just a pair of pretty blue eyes, Carlos also has great beats and a ahem great resume: check his imdb page and you'll be surprised to find credits for such eclectic works as 7th Heaven (Oh WB!), Just My Luck and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
Download This: Escuchame, and Rezo. Yes, I went old school!

Juanes
I gotta support my homeland which is why this Grammy Award Winning singer makes the list. Ever since he got his start with Ekhymosis (and alt rock band) back in the 90s Juanes has had me singing along to his music. He also gets points for using his fame to bring awareness about the impact of land-mines in Colombia. Socially aware, talented and hot? You got it.

Ricky Martin
How does one create a list of drool-inducing Latin singing men and not include the ex-Menudo superstar? Yes, I've been there since the beginnings: from Menudo, through Muñecos de Papel (don't ask... really), past Maria and into his hip-shaking Livin La Vida Loca apex. Good thing he's always also been pretty to look at. Which is why I'll be hunting down his newest DVD Black and White Tour.

Enrique Iglesias
When Mr Iglesias is not guest-starring on CBS shows, giving J-Love some work or showing off his girlfriend, he pops out good music - and yes, I'm talking about that great duet with then-diva Whitney Houston. Also out of the boys on this list, he's the one most likely to show off his body in his videos.

Now sure, this list is probably a carbon copy of a list I might or might not have made a couple of years ago, but the years have done nothing but season these artists.
