The People’s Choice nominations were announced today. I was one of those people who voted for my favorites so this was neat to see if my choices made it. Twilight, House, Vampire Diaries, Three Rivers and Gossip Girl made it. But Zachary Levi didn’t make the list. I think that I nominated him for every category. I guess it doesn’t work that way.
Alex O’Loughlin is such a humble man. That is one of the reasons why I like him so much. He isn’t one to let fame get the better of him. In this interview from Entertainment Tonight he talks about how he is a normal guy, how Moonlight gave him a lot of gray hair, and how he is on the organ transplant list.
I know I have mentioned this before but I’ve been on the bone marrow and organ transplant list since I was 20. I know back then it wasn’t something that was well known yet. But thanks to Alex we all can know about it better. Be sure to watch Alex on Three Rivers on CBS tonight.
It’s been a couple of days since I’ve mentioned one of my favorite actors of prime time, Alex O’Loughlin. TV Guide posted this adorable video of Alex explaining more about Three Rivers and how he freaked out when he saw an open chest cavity for the first time. And the cutest thing is at the end when he juggles PDA’s. Now that is a talent I could never get down.
Be sure to tune into CBS on Saturday when they will be replaying the third episode of Three Rivers called Good Intentions. We need more people to watch the show, I know that the time slot of Sunday night isn’t good. If only there was something that could be done about it. Alex has worked his butt off for this job and I want to keep him in prime time television where he belongs.
Now we all know Alex O’Loughlin looks hot shirtless…it’s quite evident in the above picture from his forthcoming movie, The Back Up Plan. Time Out New York had a chance to talk to Alex about he keeps his body just right. I really could stare at his stomach forever. Here are the highlights of the interview:
On his current fitness routine: Pretty extreme. I’m playing a surgeon currently, so I’m trying to say on the thinner, leaner side. I’ve seen a lot of the surgeons move around the hospital quickly, eat on the run; they’re pretty lean.
On how he keeps himself lean: I do circuit training, interval training. I do this interval thing called Tabata. It’s 20 seconds on, ten seconds off at 100 percent intensity. I aim for four days a week.
On what he doesn’t like to do fitness wise: Swimming in a pool back and forth drives me crazy, but I can run for hours. Whatever I can do outside I prefer to do. I much prefer to get up in the hills, use trees and rocks.
On if he hurts himself on the rocks: All the time! I been hurting myself since I was like five years old. People ask what kind of kid I was—I used to steal bricks from construction sites, build walls from them, then ride my trike down through them. I fell out of a rope swing when I was six years old and I’ve had a couple motorcycle accidents, so I have to keep my core really strong. Every workout I do has a core-based strength to it. If you focus on your core, doing Pilates and things, everything else will respond better.
On what kind of music he listens to while working out: Rock. Hard rock. Like, really old Metallica, from their first four albums, or Soundgarden. Tool. I love working out to Tool.
On what food he eats for a break: I have a very sweet tooth. You could put a giant chocolate cake in front of me and I will eat it. Unashamedly, no apologies. But if it’s not there, I don’t eat it. Once I a week, I have one day off where I eat whatever I want. Honey Smacks! They drive me crazy. And Froot Loops.
Froot Loops? He is perfect. I love them too! (Remember to watch Alex on Three Rivers on Sunday nights on CBS!)
I just missed this show yesterday and I was kicking myself for not watching it. But I knew that Deb at LOL would follow through for me and I would be able to see it. Alex O’Loughlin really stole everyone’s heart on The Bonnie Hunt show. The part that killed me was when he was talking about all his friends calling him BRO and how he should be pitching the ball at the Dodger’s game (pictures of that here).
Remember that his new show, Three Rivers, is on CBS this Sunday. Don’t forget. And I’ll be attending a live chat with Alex tomorrow and I’ll be sure to write about that too.
Alex O’Loughlin is taking over Fall TV with his new show, Three Rivers in October. And it looks like people are noticing. Alex has been named the hottest newcomer of this TV season. I have to admit that Paul Wesley is pretty hot too. Vampire Diaries is amazing, I’m already addicted to that show.

UPDATE: I realize that I forgot to add something and a comment on this post made me realize I should add this in. I noticed Alex a long time ago. It’s funny to see that he is being called a Newcomer again when he was in on TV just a couple of seasons ago in Moonlight. I’m so glad you are back Alex, we have all missed you!
