The hottest new show for me this season is undoubtedly Spartacus: Blood and Sand. The most recent incarnation of the famously camp gladiator stars Australian Andy Whitfield – and what a gladiators bod it is. You’ll find another very sexy attempts at reinventing Spartacus below.

People Magazine has named it’s 15 Sexiest Men Alive, and while I can’t say I agree with Johnny Depp’s top billing, Jerry O’Connell’s presence in the list certainly had my approval. Who do you think should have made the list?? I think Dirk Jagger and David Taylor should have been up for the prize! Don’t you agree?

The November issue of Unzipped magazine has been released, following up their last star-studded cover, which featured Margaret Cho and Ricky Sinz, with one featuring performer Diesel Washington as a vampire feasting on his prey, Cameron Marshall. The digital issue is available today at Unzipped.net and the print edition also has hit select bookstores.

I’m wrapped up in all the Harry Potter buzz here at QueerBites today, and it only seemed fitting to celebrate with a few films based around the boy wizard. Having seen the fab new movie last night, I was determined to continue my wizarding journey and give my wand a further workout. These titles below proved magic:

The only thing that comes close to Christmas for me every year is Milan’s Menswear Fashion Week. It’s the only other time I get some many amazing things given to me at one. Like these delicious men I’ve collected for you. I’d know what I’d like to see these sexy Euro Boyz model!!! Enjoy.

Can’t say I’m the biggest Beckham fan myself (he’s in desperate need of body hair), but here are the goods for all you soccer fans from the unveiling of a huge Emporio Armani banner at Selfridges in London last week. Enjoy.

Those two naughty – and smoking hot – college wrestlers that got into trouble for doing porn are back! Unfortunately not in porn though. They’re about to feature in an ESPN ‘Behind the Lines’ interview. The Nebraska wrestlers were dismissed for participating in porn videos on Fratmen.TV

Says one of the guys: “We didn’t kill anybody. We didn’t put anybody in a hospital. We’re not selling drugs. We’re not bad kids, you know. We did some porn. Get over it…I didn’t threaten anyone’s life. I’m puttin’ smiles on people’s faces.”

Damn straight you are, handsome.

The Young and the Restless’ resident hairy hunk, Chris Engen, is reportedly not liking the new ‘bent’ direction of his previously straight character, Adam Wilson. He walked off the set last week while still under contract because he refused to kiss co-star Yani Gellman who plays Rafe Torres, an out gay character on the show.

Engen was reportedly unhappy with the ‘dark path’ his character has taken. In recent months he’s tried to have his father killed, he’s gone to prison, and then pretended to be blind to get out. It seems the show’s producers now intend him to move on to some man-loving.

The change in direction comes after the success of a gay storyline over at As The World Turns, with gay couple Luke and Noah.

TV Guide now reports that Engen’s character has already been recast. Adam will be played by Michael Muhney formerly of Veronica Mars, with his first episode scheduled to air June 25th.

Here’s an excerpt from the winner!

…These were “real cowboys” all over the bar. I had talked with no one but had viewed everyone. The bartender would occasionally ask a question, always knowing the answer before he asked. “You from out of town?” “You ever been here before?” “You want some of Maxine’s chili?”

At first I thought I was imagining it, but as I drank more beer, I was sure he was relaying this sparse information to a real-looking, real-good-looking cowboy down at the other end of the bar. When I could check him out without being too obvious, I was pretty impressed with the image of an outdoorsman with a bit of weathered face, a bit older than me, with the build and look of a man who worked hard and had the body to show for it. I was convinced that this was probably the real-life image of a cowboy, the vision that I had been wanting to see. I stared at him a lot, but made sure that my looking could not really be called cruising because, as the taxi driver said, this “ain’t a gay bar” and there was no indication that any of the patrons were.

When I finally felt that I had had enough of the “local color” and enough beer, I swiveled off the stool, did a perfunctory “Good night” to the bartender and to no one else in particular, and ambled toward the door. The real cowboy was headed for the door at the same time, and he held it open for me. “You coming?” he asked good naturedly in a velvety baritone voice. I smiled my thanks and we both departed the bar.

I scanned the street for a taxi, but the velvet voice behind me simply said, “This way” and I fell into step with him. Small talk. “Brrrr, chilly!” “Smoky in there, wadn’t it?” “Singer was not very good, was he?” And other similar one-liners that he asked. I could not think of anything really to ask. What I wanted to ask was, “Are you a real cowboy?” and “Where are you taking me?” but kept my mouth shut and trotted alongside this beautiful stud in tight jeans and plaid shirt. Overall, he looked authentic western and my outfit looked like it was from Macy’s. Which it was.

“Here we are” he said as we came upon a Best Western motel. We’re going up to the fifth floor” he said, and though he had never invited me, it was certainly understood that I was his intended guest. How more fkn appropriate could you get? I smiled to myself, than a friggin’ Best “Western” hotel. As we got into the elevator, which now provided the most lighting for seeing him that I had had all evening, my legs went to jelly. The guy was ruggedly handsome with blue-grey eyes that made direct eye contact with me and …
