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!

I have been dying to be able to talk about OneRepublic’s new album Waking Up that is out today! So here I go…I got an advance copy of the album last week and I have to admit that I haven’t stopped listening to it. I am pretty sure everyone has heard me have it on repeat.
Waking Up, recorded in OneRepublic’s hometown Denver, is the band’s most sweeping, cinematic effort to date, with even more strings and movie-like moments, thanks in part to the use of the same children’s choir and orchestra used by Batman and Edward Scissorhands composer Danny Elfman (with whom Ryan Tedder has shared ideas). Plus, OneRepublichas recently added co-writer and bass and cello player Brent Kutzle to its lineup. “All he listened to before getting into this band was soundtracks,” Tedder says. “He can name every score and soundtrack guy from the last 15 years.”
My favorite songs off the new album are definitely All This Time and All The Right Moves. Especially with All This Time it talks about how someone was always in love with this one person, and how all this time it was them they were supposed to love. (I’ve listened to that song the most.)
This for sure has to be my favorite album of there year. You can get it on iTunes right now by following this link.
Ryan Tedder says his best work with OneRepublic is ahead of him, and he’s more inspired than ever. He practically speaks in lyrics these days. “Music is my life,” he says, “and songs are my currency.”
Lifehouse has confirmed a new release date for their fifth studio album, Smoke & Mirrors. The album will now hit stores February 2, 2010, and will be available in a standard edition as well as a deluxe edition that will include four additional tracks. In anticipation of the release, however, the band recently debuted the cover art on their official website.
In the meantime, “Halfway Gone” – the first single from Smoke & Mirrors – is rapidly climbing the charts. It is available for purchase now on iTunes.
The likeness is uncanny isn’t it? When Taylor showed me this picture, I immediately thought “AWW!” Yes, I’ll write about it.
Jon Bon Jovi posed with the lovable Goofy, at the New York Street set at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Theme Park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Apparently, he and his band just released their newest album and will be going back on tour in early 2010. I guess 26 years wasn’t enough of a career, but hey, if you still have fans, and it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, I suppose.
