Super Men

Entertainment Weekly interviews the new Superman, Henry Cavill, about his audition for the role.

Henry Cavill has said that he was made to wear a replica outfit worn by Christopher Reeve in the 1978 Superman movie during his audition for the lead in the reboot.

I would think that would be like trying on underwear you find in a thrift store.

No, thanks.



Channing Tatum is on the cover of GQ magazine talking about his career.

On landing bigger and better roles. “No one’s calling me for lawyer roles. I still have a lot to do to prove myself.”



Yeah...that photo doesn't really scream "I object, your Honor!"

And, here is the first photo of Kellan Lutz, as sea God Neptune, in the upcoming movie Immortals.



Kellan and Channing wouldn't make believable lawyers.

Unless they were representing Matthew McConaughey.

Where wolf?

There, wolf.

The fourth season of True Blood starts on Sunday and, although I'm no marketing expert, I think I've started to pick up on a very subtle, yet consistent, promotional theme over the past two seasons...



There is no actual blood used in their marketing photos.



I know it sounds like a madcap conclusion to draw, but I've done extensive research to prove my theory. Just bear with me...

Besides the latest Muscle and Fitness and Entertainment Weekly blood-free cover articles, look at these other recent examples...



The new GQ article...hemoglobin-free.





Muscle & Body magazine...bloodless.





Vanity Fair...not a wound in sight.



Cosmopolitan magazine...zip.



Men's Fitness...plasma-free.



US Weekly...dry.



I really think I'm on to something here...it's the only consistent visual theme that I've noticed in every one one of these articles.

Perhaps they thought that having blood in the title and then blood on promotional materials may have been too obvious and, perhaps, off-putting to the viewing audience. So, they went in the complete opposite direction hoping that Joe-public wouldn't be on to their scheme.

HBO, you may not think we are sophisticated enough to notice these kinds of things...



But we do.

We notice.

Speaking of noticing, one of my favorite blogs JoeMyGod, linked to my research today. I'm very honored and glad that countless others will now have access to this very important marketing and PR study. Thanks Joe!

Also...Towleroad posted Joe Manganiello's Werewolf Workout video from Details magazine...again, splatter-free.



My arduous research continues...

Manscaping

I guess if girls can grace fashion magazine covers wearing very little...so can the boys.

Bruce Willis and his new bride are on the cover of "W" magazine and have done a risque S&M-themed layout inside for all to see. He's certainly in amazing shape and, I suppose, if faux-humping his bride is the way he wants to introduce her to the world...then have at it.

Sometimes a simple wedding image just isn't enough to fully express your newfound love.



Also, GQ has just started promoting their first nude cover and, of all the people they could have chosen...Sasha Baron Cohen's cheekage won the slot (so to speak).

I guess Mario Lopez, LL Cool J and Abe Vigoda were busy.

Maybe having his crack in Eminem's face at the Grammy's wasn't considered enough publicity for his upcoming movie.

Sometimes you just have to bare it all to lure people into the theaters these days.

I blame Sharon Stone.

GleeQ

Tonight is the season finale of Glee and, to celebrate, here are some photos of Darren Criss from his fashion layout in the new GQ magazine.









If ya' liked it, then ya' shoulda' put a ring on it.

Oh Oh Oh....oh, oh, oh...

Bravo, Kathy!

I'm very excited, I must say....

Kathy Griffin has confirmed that she has finally signed a one year deal with Bravo and is staying with the network for another season of her reality series, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D List. Griffin spoke to Us Weekly at the GQ Men of the Year party on Tuesday night.

“It’s Season 5. We start shooting Wednesday,” she said.

“It’s going to be more celebrity oriented. It's the way that American Idol sort of started as a singing contest and then every week you expect to see the mentors. I have some really good guest stars coming on the D-List this year.”

Griffin will also return as host for the next installment of the Bravo’s A-List Awards, and will star in two one-hour stand-up comedy specials for the network. The stand-up specials will be taped during her current nationwide tour.

Two comedy special and a new season of the D-list.

Enjoyable!

My DVR is twitching with antici.......pation!

G'day, Jake

Jake Gyllenhaal is featured on the cover of Australian GQ this month.



He was also featured swimming somewhere a few days ago...





Nice...trunks.

Eye-Q

Other than this current issue of GQ magazine, I doubt that soccer-star Cristiano Ronaldo has any other body "issues" to worry about.



Lucky bastard.
