Product Placement in Telenovela

I saw the funniest thing the other day. I was at the gym and they had a telenovela (soap opera) on and there were two girls together and all of the sudden it became one of those old product placement segments. One girl was timid about talking about her period and the other busted out with maxi pads. It was hilarious, this actress was doing the whole nine yards of spokesman-ship.

X-Men: The First Class?

Well, it finally happened. What some fans have geared because they didn't like X-Men 3: The Last Stand, there will be a new X-Men movie besides X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men Origins: Magento and it will be called X-men: The First Class. "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl" producer Josh Schwartz has been tapped to helm it. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is due to come out May 2009 and X-Men Origins: Magento hasn't started filming. "Fox has been leaning toward using the younger characters introduced in the previous pics in future installments -- teenagers with powers taught at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. Given Hollywood's penchant for reboots with new actors playing familiar roles, pic could also reintroduce characters. Comicbook revolves around the Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel and Professor X." And lots of new Marvel films are re-booting and rather quickly if you ask me like Punisher and the Hulk. It would be cool to have a movie with those six characters.

The Beauty of the Male Form Part 3: What is Sexy?

[Joe Griffith, above]

Now I will discuss What is Sexy about Men?, now yes the majority will be what I believe is sexy but also what sexy should be. I do believe Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, yes, it is a bit ironic saying that if I have a hot guy blog. But I don't always pick guys that fall into agreed-upon convential beauty. So 'Sexy' is the same. It depends on the person you are attracting. But what I think should be an agreed-upon 'Sexy' is more about attitude. Indeed, woman have a more open ideal about sexiness in men, while the stereotype is that the majority of men have a narrow view of what is sexy in women. Actually, most men actually do like plus-size women and also like tomboy girl, many men find a woman in men's clothing enticing, well not all the time, mostly in the bedroom but it is something. Most specifically their own clothing that might be bigger on the woman.

Sexiness do come in attitude. Even if a guy is handsome, I don't like a guy when he is stuck up or thinks he is 'all that' or a complete jack hole. I like humble guys, those 'ah shucks' guys. While the are hard to find, like needles in haystacks... Lots of women and gay men say confidence is key. And from personal experience, confidence does make a large effective difference. Confidence vs. Cockiness. Cockiness not great, it's annoying and off-putting. Confidence is just assurance, self-reliance in one's self. I do like guys that are introverted but not too much. So like with anything else, excessiveness is not good. Some people don't even like men that are 'too beautiful' or more beautiful than they are.

Now, I have had my crushes that have come and gone. For Example, I had a thing for Andy Roddick (before I started this blog) but now I find him to be a boring douche. I had a thing for Justin Timberlake, found everything he did sexy and cute, but he also got bland and tired. He stopped updating his look, which I like and he is now fond of facial hair and I don't like too much facial hair. I am okay with some hair but not the scruffiness. I don't like when handsome guys get scruffy to hide their hottness. How annoying is that?

Fathers are also sexy. Fatherhood means responsibility, empathy and caring. Nothing isn't more sexy than a young handsome father playing with their kids or with a stroller. And it's happening more often these days. It is heart-warming to see how many young fathers are stepping up and being a true man by taking care of their children and being there for them.

Yay! Whoopi defending Gay Rights in The View

She totally gets it and defends it. And she is awesome. Thank You.

SNL: Paul Rudd is a brave one

Finally a funny post-political season SNL, I think SNL will be doing fine. Paul Rudd takes it there, he is not afraid. Of course since he has lots of improv experience. He didn't even plug his new movie Role Models in his opening monologue. He did poke fun at SNL being in post-political season and had Kristen Wigg join in the fun---not as Sarah Palin but as an obscure politician. I am sure others won't agree. But there was one sketch where Rudd and Andy Samberg are roommates and go to Rudd's character's home where he, his parents and brother kiss on the lips and ends up with a kiss orgy. And there was...what I guess was a Digital Short with Andy Samberg and Paul Rudd painting each other naked ala Titanic and ending up to be one those Ben Stiller/Adam Samberg-ish movies. There were lots of gender bending and challenging of gender norms in this episode and that's great. And more bloody sketches, always good. And of course, a gay marriage skit with Rudd and Bill Hader about closeted guys that ended up sweet and not like all completely "ha ha, they are gay."

Sidebar: I had to mention Weekend Update, with the 'featuring castmember' dressed up as Snagglepuss discussing what Seth Meyers puts as a 'setback for the gay community' just like straight guys say to separate themselves from stuff. Snugglepuss 'came out' and announce he wanted to married the little green The Great Kazoo. That was hiliarious. Cute. But I am not going to put much against Meyers since he was equally prejudice with racist jokes like "Laura Bush and Michelle Obama met and Laura kept a close look at her pocket book." Everyone booed for that and for ban on gay marriage. John Stewart went through the same booing thign when he mentioned it on "The Daily Show."

Surprise Night Court Reunion in 30 Rock

I wasn't that thrilled about Jennifer Aniston guest-starring on "30 Rock" because I am not much of a Rachel Green fan, but I was very surprised to find out that there was a "Night Court" reunion! I loved "Night Court" growing up and that theme song is so iconic. I was thrilled to find 3 of my favorite actors from that show: Harry Anderson, Markie Post, and Charles Robinson. Even though John Larroquette wasn't there, he was mentioned, that he was too busy.. I was kind of glad he wasn't there. The plot involved the page Kenneth wanting a decent series finale with Harry and Markie's characters marrying each other, all because he is bummed they are changing his work jacket. So Tracy helps make it work. I half expected fake actors playing them and Tracy saying he couldn't get the real actors. The jokes were so funny, especially Markie complaining that she didn't get an Emmy nomination. I think it is freaking awesome that Markie and Charles played husband and wife in There's Somehting About Mary---(oops! My bad! I've been told it was Keith David, another of my favorite African-American actors). The funniest Night Court-related joke was Kenneth freezing in moment like the ending of all of the Night Court episodes. And Aniston wasn't half bad either as a crazy old pal of Liz.
