Let me preface this post with this: I know that not everyone will agree with me, and that’s okay, because if we all had the same exact tastes, the world would be rather boring. I’ll also say if you want to include your sexiest men in a comment, that would be very much appreciated, and I may add them in a revision to the Top TEN Sexiest Men post for next time!
Alright kiddies, are you ready for some candy?
10.) David Boreanaz: What a sexy Angel He is:
9.) Ryan Reynolds: He makes me wanna learn the words to “Oh Canada”:
8.) Ryan Phillippe: “you know what would be super-duper sexy? If you lost all the clothes.” I concur Ryan.. so.. go ahead, we’ll wait:
7.) Jonny Lang: He can “Lie to Me” all he wants, as long as he sings to me. I bet Taylor Blue agrees:
6.) Charlie Hunnam: “A true outlaw finds the balance between the passion in his heart and the reason in his mind.” I’d be willing to help him find that passion…Just sayin’.
5.) Kellan Lutz: “I want a good girl, who can be a little bad.” Oh Kellan, do I have a list for you!:
4.) Ian Somerhalder: “Oh because I wear a ring, and I live in the really real world where vampires burn in the sun.” That one line made me love him. BUT I have to admit, he’s up here because of Taylor Blue’s unwavering ability to try to convince me of his sexy!:
3.) Paul Wesley: *Grrrrowl* That is all.
2.) Robert Pattinson: “My addictions are pretty much the only things I consume.” Care to be someone’s addiction, Rob? I think it’d do you some good:
Okay, and now for the number you’ve all been waiting for.. I bet you think you know who I chose right? Well… you’re probably right. However, I decided to technically involve all of the band… so here’s to saying that ALL 100 Monkeys are SMOKIN’ HOT!
1.)From Left to right: Ben Johnson,Jerad Anderson,Jackson Rathbone,Ben Graupner:

Hey out there in interweb land! I just returned home, literally last night, after spending a week in the beautiful city of Nashville, Tennessee.
If you say it’s not a great place, you aren’t trying hard enough, or you aren’t with the right people.
Why was I in Nashville? I went for 100 Monkeys, Tin Tin Can and The Stevedores. If you haven’t heard of them, or listened to their music, then why are you still here? Click the links, go, NOW.
It also happened to be New Con, a Twilight type of convention, and though I am totes not a “Twi Hard”, I ended up having a blast.
Without further adieu, here you are, my top TEN (though there could have been a thousand plus) reasons that Nashville rocked my socks off.
10.) Ned Bellamy: He was awesome. Down to Earth, always had a smile, and I have to admit, I laughed every time I saw him, because without fail someone always shouted “BUTTCRACK SANTA!”
9.) Kissing sharks: Without a doubt the ONLY place I’d ever come close to a shark, let alone kiss it. You all know my fear(s) of whales and sharks…yet I puckered up to one.
8.) The Grand Ole Opry: So much musical history, I was literally in awe, that I was standing there. I know, I’m so mushy. Hey, what can I say, I have a soft spot for music!
7.) From Across the World: Meet Angie, from France, Music brings us all together, no matter the distance.
6.) Jodie Platz:: My partner in crime (one of them at least lol) not just for the weekend, but always! This girl can wail, (She beat my karaoke of Blame it on the Rain, and that was damn near impossible. lol), and she took all the pics. You should check out her stuff HERE
5.) MADDY!: There aren’t enough words for how cool this chica is, and she appreciated my dancing, so see, extra extra cool points! Plus she plays a mean set of bells!
4.) Jose Zuniga: You may know him as Mr. Molina in Twilight. I had the most interesting conversation(s) with this man, he was very entrancing. Definitely one of my favorite points of the weekend.
3.)Jessica!: This is my fellow monkey girl! She adores Ben (J not G, because well, you know. lol) and she makes hella cool jewelry, you can find her at Twitter
2.) Jammin’ with the Monkeys: No lie. They had a Jam session, I played the Cowbell, Jodie the tambourine,Maddy the bells, and it was incredible. Insert also dancing with J Action, and staring at … well we won’t go there, and you have a perfect set.
Wow.
And my number one goes to the two coolest (and hardest working) women, and man bar none, on the planet, therefore they tie!
Vi ,Heidi, and Tim: Between them I managed to lead a group down a street with no idea where I was going, serenade, sing Bohemian Rhapsody, be accosted with chicken tenders, smacked with a cowgirl hat, and literally laugh my ass off. *Checking behind me* Yep, it’s gone.
VI:
Heidi:
Tim:
There you have it. If you’re jealous, I’m sorry..next time, hit up a Monkeys show, (Or Tin Tin Can, OR Stevedores) See what you’re missing?

We love 100 Monkeys here. All of them (Jackson Rathbone, Ben Graupner, Ben Johnson, Jerad Anderson, and Uncle Larry). And I am so happy to see that one of my favorite songs, Ugly Girl, is a music video. And really watching the guys putting on makeup is funny! I love it! I think the guys should for sure rock that look more often at concerts.
Jackson did an interview recently and he was saying how he is more excited about music than acting…which later he explains that he loves both. (Considering the band is releasing a new album, GRAPE.)
“People say that [I'm more excited about music than acting], but I just feel like I have more control over music than I do over, say, playing Jasper in the Twilight series. Because I get to write the words that I sing. As opposed to as an actor, I wear what people want me to wear, I stand where they want me to stand, I say what they want me to say. That’s great — I love being an actor and I’ve been studying to be an actor since I was about 14 years old. But music balances it out. I can’t have one without the other.”
I know that I would be sad if Jackson left either place. He can rock it out and act. And later in the interview I love how humble that Jackson has stayed.
“We don’t have a cushy life. We’re not playing arenas and selling them out yet. We play dirty dive bars and love it. Whenever we’re on the road we sleep in two motel room and take turns sleeping on the floors. It’s not all glamorous and it’s great. If it were all glamor, it’d be boring.”
I love that they play at the “dirty bars” I have heard nothing but good things about their concerts. It could be that they are more intimate because they are smaller. They love to connect with the audience. And for that…they will always be loved.
Kellan Lutz, Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed are all in the UK issue of Glamour magazine talking about love and lust. The interview that is in the magazine is so cute. Here are some of the highlights:

I was pretty bummed last night when I went to look on MTV Canada and I didn’t see the special on at all. But just now I found the whole show so I can finally catch up with all the behind the scenes action with Kellan Lutz, Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, and Elizabeth Reaser. Extra special thanks to MTV U for allowing other countries able to watch these videos too.
There is also performances by AFI and Paramore. Check it out.
I am a huge Kellan Lutz fan, I think that it’s obvious by my posts. But I still think that Jackson Rathbone doesn’t get enough credit either. In the video after the jump the cast members Kellan, Jackson, Nikki Reed, Elisabeth Reaser and Ashley Greene talk about how they were always hanging out with each other in Vancouver while filming the Twilight Saga. I have to say that as much as I adored watching Kellan and his super cute dimples Jackson stole the show.
