15 Male Models Body Measurements

I just did a post on the body measurements of male celebrities, now decided to do male models. Because male models dictates the measurements in clothing. Most waists are 30-32 inches and chest sizes are 38 to 40 and height is over 6 feet. Most or less the same as the male actors, except few are under 6 feet tall and the chest doesn't go over 42 inches.

15 Male Celebrity Measurements Waist and Chest Size

I like to compare male celebrities with their waist, shoe and chest sizes, see how they modify their bodies and how some men model themselves to these men. Many men hold Brad Pitt as an ideal. Looks like the average waist size is 30 to 34 inches, average chest size is 40 to 48 inches, and shoe size as height and weight changes, there is no average. Hot actors can be as short as 5'8" and tall as 6'5", while their shoe size goes from 8 to 14. What concerns me is waist and chest size. Even Jerry Seinfeld on his show wanted to be a 30 inch waist.
Brad Pitt (As of 2013)
Height: 5'9" (180cm)
Weight: 110 lb (72 kg ) -- 160 lbs. in Fight Club to 185 lbs in Troy.
Chest: 40 inches (101.6 cm)
 Waist: 32 inches
Shoe Size: 9

Weight: 183 lbs (83 kg)
Chest Size: 40 in (101.6 cm)
Waist: 32 inches
Shoe Size: 14

Even though Bradley Cooper is taller than Brad Pitt, their chest and waist size are the same. My feet are 13 shoe size U.S. and Bradley is bigger than me at 14.
Michael Fassbender
Height: 6' (183 cm)
Weight: 167.5 lbs (76 kg )
Chest: 42 inches
 Waist: 30 inches
Shoe Size: 11
Claim of Fame: Prometheus, X-Men: First Class
His chest is wider than Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper but his waist is smaller. Let's say, I mean people's sizes changes.

 Waist: 31 inches

Praise to ABC's The Muppets

I was not sure what to make of this new "The Muppets" as I never really like "Muppets Tonight," which was on ABC in the 90's was like a televised "The Muppet Show" but it was quickly cancelled. And I think the downfall of that show as that the host was not Kermit. Anyway, in this format, it is much like the single camera comedies like "The Office" which my friend Natasha calls "The Muppets meets the Office." They said it would be more 'adult' and I was weary to that comment but it somehow works. It is cute and cuddly for kids and they make jokes to fly over their heads and adults get. It has delicious innuendo. For example, Bobo the Bear says "[Muppet Mayhem] are always happy." "Yeah, legally now," Scooter responded. Another example, Zoot wakes up in a meeting. "This is meeting? Well, Hi, I'm Zoot." Floyd tells him, "Different kind of meeting."

Bascially the plot is that the Muppets run Miss Piggy's new late night talk show. Kermit is the EP, Gonzo, Rizzo and Pepe Prawn are writers, Sam Eagle is executive of standard and practices, the Muppet Mayhem are the band naturally, Fozzie is Miss Piggy's sidekick, Statler and Wordolf are hecklers in the audience, Swedish Chef is the charterer, Scooter is the Casting Agent, Uncle Deadly is in charge of wardrobe, and Rowlf runs a bar across the street. I think the comparisons to "The Office' should die down with more focus on Miss Piggy's talk show. If anything it is like "The Larry Saunders Show". Kermit has a new girlfriend that is a pig too. The whole idea of Kermit and Piggy breaking up as a PR stunt was tried back in the 90's but because of Jim Henson's death, it was forgotten. Now it is the basis of the show. Some fans think the will get back together and some fans think they won't. Executive Producer Bill Prady (Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men) used to write for the Muppets under Jim Henson and might be using some of Jim's ideas or the spirit of them, not ripping off. He even worked on a  pilot for another muppets show that didn't work out...


Guest Stars have been hit and miss, some we actually see in the talk show, most of them are behind the scenes, the majority of them play themselves so far. The guest stars so far in the past five episodes are Elizabeth Banks, Tracy Anderson, Tom Bergeron, Imagine Dragons, Josh Groban, Laurence Fishburne, Jay Leno, Lea Thompson, Reza Aslan, Christina Applegate, Nick Offerman, Liam Hemsworth, Ed Helms and Reese Witherspoon. I hope it lasts many seasons. What I fear is that Kermit and Piggy will become bitter characters. Piggy is already at high diva levels.

This is how the movie was suppose to be dont get me wrong, I liked the movie. Frank Oz even said it was too sweet. I agree. I think Muppets Most Wanted failed because it was a trite plot.

W.I.T.s Academy Mini Review

"Every Witch Way" is over after four seasons, each season ran in a course of a month. It aired at 7pm on Nickeldeon and was filmed in Miami. "W.I.T.s Academy" is a spin-off starring Emma's sidekick Andi (Daniella Nieves) and the only other two characters carried on from "EWW" is Jax's little sister Jessie and Agamemnon, the head of the Witches Council. It is written by former General Hospital writer Catharina Ledeboer and it shows. It isn't as 'shock' telenovela like Every Witch Way with twists and turns but it moves smoothly Episodically without much plot or villain. It isn't over but after its first two weeks, "W.I.T.s Academy" (W.I.T.s stands for Witches in Training) has made a cute impression. The cast, which is mostly kids, are endearing and young Miss Nieves and Todd Allen Durkin have enough experience and it shows. Since there are more witches in this series, there is more special effects, mostly teleporting and magic spell trails.
Some Spin-offs change their main character which was a minor character in the original series, Andi hasn't changed much but she is more realized, she indeed still tomboy-ish and fixes machinery. Like any 'Girl' series, Andi has a rival in Ruby, an annoying childish character. As many of the teenagers are in charge of children witches/wizards, Ruby is the most irresponsible. Cameron is the head boy and the kiss butt. Luke is the cute potential boyfriend for Andi. Andi had a boyfriend in "EWW" that was a zombie. Aggie is more caring and symphetic. Anyway this series is promising.

Dream Cast: Magic School Bus

Magic School Bus was a series of books focused on science and became a cartoon in the mid-90s, Ms. Fizz was voiced by Lily Tomlin and she was the teacher who took her class on a magic school bus that defied science to show science. I thought of casting kids but kids grow up too fast and if you guys see this years later, it wouldn't make sense. So I decided to cast young adults in a sequel movie, they are little older and Ms. Fizz tracks them down to teach them one last lesson before they graduate for High School and she retires.

Vanessa Beyer/Ms. Frizz
Vaness Beyer (Saturday Night Live) has the right amount of energy and comedy timing to portray the eclectic Ms. Frizz. Her pet chameleon Liz can always be played by CGI and it's a non-speaking character. The bus also does not speak.


Dorothy Ann
She was the one that always said "According to my research." Dove Cameron from Descendants and that twin show on Disney Channel. 

 Carlos
He was always making bad puns. Tyler Alaverez of Every Witch Way. Fans have paired together Dorothy Ann and Carlos, I'd pair them together, where Carlos is more fun-loving and Dorothy Ann is stricter.

Keesha
Keesha was smart and came up with solutions. Riele Downs from Henry Danger.

Phoebe
She was new to their school and always said, "At my old school." Willa Fitzgerald of MTV's Scream has that sweet aproachable-ness. 

Ralphie
The dense jock. I'd go with Adam Devine as a retained (held back) Ralphie, who was a chubby kid who grew up to be a jock. Adam Devine is best known for Workaholics and Modern Family. He also voices Pizza Steve in Uncle Grandpa on Cartoon Network.


 Arnold
He was the scary cat who always wanted to leave. Robert Capron (Rowley from Diary of a Wimpy Kid) was a ginger and chubby but he's now older and slimmer, with glasses, he can draw sympathy as Arnold. 


Tim
He had zero personality on the show, in my dream movie he would be the level-headed one, the voice of reason. I'd pick Tyrel Jackson Williams from Disney XD's Labrats. 


Wanda
She was the pushy one. She would leap before thinking. Arden Cho plays the shy and nervous but kickass Kira on Teen Wolf.


Janet
Arnold's trouble-making cousin. Ariel Winter (Modern Family's Alex) will be 18 next year but could still pass a teenager. This role would be different that intelligent and snarky Alex as Janet, I imagine more as a tougher troublemaker, maybe even a sexy one.
