I think the people at WHO magazine that selected Alex O’Loughlin as one of the Sexiest People of 2009 have done something right. I mean look at him. The tattoos, the no shirt, the abs…he has my vote for sure!

I love this quote by Alex’s co-star from Moonlight, Sophia Myles.

“People get weak in the knees around him. He has a special sparkle that’s just magic.”

I have to agree with her. My jaw dropped when I saw this picture. I have a bigger version of the page below.

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.

First there was the TruBlood drink, I was okay with that. The names weren’t so bad and you really might think your drinking blood if you imagined it. But, now there is this new energy drink, they say it’s the Blood Energy Potion. I am thoroughly creeped out by this one. Do you remember back in Moonlight when Mick St.John was caught by Beth Turner being a vampire and drinking blood out of these bags? That was one of the most amazing scenes by the way, but it freaked me out that he was drinking out of a blood bag.

This made me cringe…

Blood Energy Potion: the world’s first synthetic blood beverage. The fruit punch flavor packs 4 hours of energy along with iron, protein, and electrolytes. Not only does Blood Energy Potion have a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, but it has the same color, look, and consistency of blood. Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste! The re-sealable transfusion bag style pouch provides the convenient delivery of fluids for vampires and humans alike! Contains no real blood, just synthetic!

The description they made for it was really good. Too good for me. I don’t think I’ll be drinking this one. How about you?

It’s Alex O’Loughlin’s birthday today. And I have to celebrate it because things have changed so much from last year. The happiest news is that Alex will be back in prime time again. Having him back makes me happy. I know he won’t be Mick St. John but it will be him. I love the actor Alex. And I can watch Mick St. John any time I want since I have the DVD on repeat constantly. Three Rivers will be amazing. And seeing Alex ‘Dude’ in scrubs won’t be so bad either.

We love you Alex, every part of you. I’m glad you didn’t accept anything less than the best for you. xoxoxo

I was one of those girls that was shattered when Moonlight was canceled and it took me along time to stop writing about how much I wanted that show back. There was no way I wanted to ever give up on Mick St. John. I even wrote Alex O’Loughlin about how much I cared. (Alex did write me back, and I love him for it.) I lost myself in those shows,  and I was sad when the fight had to be over. I never gave up on Alex though, and on October 4th we get to see him in a new show, Three Rivers,  as a doctor. Now to me doctors are just as sexy as vampires (take for instance Dr. Carlisle Cullen) so this should be a great show.

TV Guide caught up with Alex and asked him what his show would be like and how it feels to be back. Here are the highlights (especially pay attention to the whole scrubs thing, I died when I read it):

On if Three Rivers will be a hit with Moonlight fans: Yeah, I hope so. This one is a very important show. I really hope that my fans come with me on this because Andy means as much to me as Mick St. John does. And if everybody comes with me and has a look and gives this a chance, they’ll see why.

On wearing tight scrubs: [Laughs] We have tight scrubs. We have wet skin when we scrub in. We make eyes at each other over the operation table. There’s going to be lots of love affairs and stuff like that would happen in a real hospital. It’s going to be really exciting.

On being a big fan of vampires and not following Twilight but following True Blood: I haven’t been following Twilight. I watch True Blood when I can, but I’ve been very busy. So I’d like to get a box set and watch it that way. I actually went to network for that show.

On auditioning for True Blood: Yeah, at the same time I got Moonlight. I tried out to play Bill, the main vampire, and also Sam the dog.

On if Moonlight would have done better if it aired now: Maybe. But maybe it wouldn’t have got picked up at all because there’s too much vampires. What can you do? Moonlight will always be the best.

On the prep work he did for the show: Triple bypasses. [Laughs] No. I started with what I had in the script. I started researching all of these diseases of the heart and conditions of the heart and operations that needed to take place and branched off from there. The world of medicine is immense, but also the doctor-patient relationship was very important to me. I worked with a surgeon, and he’s a pure, benevolent person. So that sort of study, the study of him, was as interesting as the study of medicine.

On if he’s a good cook: I’m okay. I barbeque. I grill chicken and fish, and I can make good salads and veggies and make some nice dressings.

On if he cooks for his girlfriends: Yeah, for sure! I don’t always cook because I’m busy but I’ve worked in a lot of restaurants and a lot of kitchens so I can conjure stuff up pretty well. I’ve been a waiter. I’ve been a barman. I’ve been a kitchen man. I’ve worked on construction sites. I’ve flipped burgers. I’ve fried chicken.

On being crazy for motorcycles: Yeah. I’m crazy for motorcycles. I just finished building my first Harley. My last four bikes have been Ducatis and I’ve got a Triumph now.

On his other vices: That’s my most dangerous vice. I really enjoy the finer things in life. So the idea of a great holiday for me is to go to Europe, go to Paris, eat some great cheese, smoke some great cigars, go to the theater then go on a yacht and sail somewhere else. That’s just heaven for me. In 2016, I think I’ll be able to do that. You don’t get to go away while you’re working. It’s great to be working, but that’s what I’d do. I’d go away, get a bit of sun, sleep

We all can’t wait to see you Alex. I can’t wait until October.

I was thinking about Alex O’Loughlin today and how he’s going to be on TV again this fall. I am counting the days until that happens! So to keep my mind off of that I found this TV Guide photo shoot that Alex did last year. Where was I and why didn’t I see it until now? I can’t believe I missed this!

You finally get a good look at his tattoos here. I hate that they always have to cover him up for the shows he’s in. Don’t you think that Mick St. John would have been a sexier vampire with those tattoos? (I’m nodding my head yes.)

More sexy pictures…

Alex O’Loughlin has been busy reshooting scenes from his movie, The Back-up Plan, with Jennifer Lopez. It’s so nice to see pictures of him around again.

Alex is going to be back on CBS this fall in a show called, Three Rivers, where he plays a doctor. I know I have a thing for doctors lately. Between him and Peter Facinelli on Nurse Jackie I have more than enough of doctors. Also remember that you can catch Moonlight reruns on the Syfy channel.

Alex O’Loughlin stole my heart along time ago. The first time I saw him in Moonlight I knew that he would be the death of me. And now I am happy to report we will be seeing him back on CBS in the fall. His new show, Three Rivers, is on Sunday nights.  I know Alex has talked alot about how he has been researching for the show in his MySpace blogs. So now it will be neat to see him actually in the role.

Lately, I have a thing for doctors. And scrubs on Alex look like heaven. Here is the official description of the show by CBS…

Alex O’Loughlin stars as Dr. Andy Yablonski, a highly-skilled workaholic lead organ transplant surgeon whose affable personality and sarcastic wit makes him popular with his patients and colleagues, and Katherine Moennig portrays Miranda Foster, a surgical fellow with a rebellious streak and fiery temper who strives to live up to her deceased father’s excellent surgical reputation.

I really never have watched a medical drama before but really if it has Alex in it I’ll watch anything. The show premiere’s in the fall so it better hurry up and get here.

I have been talking about Alex O’Loughlin returning to prime time television for a while now. And now we get the first look of Alex in Criminal Minds. The episode, The Big Wheel, airs next Wednesday (April 29th).

The episode goes down like this: When the team is sent a videotape from a serial killer (Alex O’Loughlin) detailing one of his crimes, they discover a hidden message asking them to help him stop his murderous ways.

Alex looks really creepy in these pictures. I can’t wait to see it!

I have posted before that Alex O’Loughlin will be appearing in Criminal Minds at the end of April and about the new show, Three Rivers, that he’s shooting the pilot for. But yesterday Alex wrote about it all on  his MySpace and I had to share it with you.

Hello from Pittsburgh

Hi everybody.
So I know you have all been anxious to know exactly what I’m up to, and I’m sorry it’s taken me a minute to get back to you but things are now clear.

As some of you know I did a little guest role on Criminal Minds which was a lot of fun. I got to work with some great friends and terrific people and I had a really good experience. The episode is called The Big Wheel. I hope you enjoy it.

I am currently in Pittsburgh filming a new pilot for CBS called Three Rivers. It is about as different from Moonlight as anything could possibly be (laughing right now) but that being said I sure hope all you “die hard” vampire fans come with me on this journey!

Three Rivers is a wonderful story about donors, recipients and surgeons in the world of transplant surgery and of how all these people’s lives are affected on a daily basis by the miracles and devastations involved in surgery today.

As I’m sure you can appreciate I have been totally consumed with my research and preparation for this role, and along the way I have discovered a secret passion within myself for cardio thoracic surgery! Who knew?!! It is very interesting, very important and I believe this story we are about to embark on will be something you will very much enjoy being a part of.

I hope you are all healthy and well and until we speak again…wish me luck!!

All my love,
Alex O’Loughlin

I am so excited to see him back. I really miss him. I love how he is always about the fans. And I know that from personal experience.
