Above: Garrett Hedlund looks ridiculously sexy on 'n' in Details (February 2013). The same issue offers this picture-perfect model (whose name escapes me) in a spread called "Picture Perfect" by Robbie Fimmano:
Kevin Bacon has never looked better than on TV Guide (January 21—27, 2013):
In Essential Homme (January/February 2013), Spartacus star Liam McIntyre speaks about the show's violent nature:
"There's something surprisingly animalistic in a lot of human nature, whic his kind of pushed to the side in modern society. It amazes me how much people respond to violence."
Try me, Big Boy. Check him out looking all fashionable and non-violent in the above gallery.
Spartacus: War of the Damned star Liam McIntyre romps near the ol' fishing hole for Men's Health (February 2013). Inside, he's blunt about where his priorities regarding fitness are now that he's in his dirty thirties:
"As a younger actor, my motivation may have been, 'Do you want that job or don't you?' Now it's, 'Do you want to look like crap on film?'"
No worries there—check out the gallery above for proof.
Above, Matt Lanter looks delicious as this week's "Man Candy" in In Touch (November 19, 2012). Below, Taylor Lautner from Life & Style (November 19, 2012):

Madonna gets teary thanking her late mom
I was invited to cover the red carpet for Madonna's W.E. premiere at the Ziegfeld earlier tonight. Then I was uninvited. (Space.) Then I was re-invited. I wound up getting to go, and it was a blast of epic proportions. There was a very light turn-out of fans in the cold rain, but the press was packed into a long tent leading into the theater. I was placed two slots from the bitter end, which turned out to be a nice position because anyone who did the red carpet had to pass us to get inside.
I've had front row before but A-1...I'd be riding her dress train!
I made friends with a woman covering for Pink Is the New Blog, but she was whisked away ("first, they came for...") to a spot in the lobby so I wound up bonding with Matt from Hard Candy Music. As I told him, we were probably the lowest men on the totem pole so as such would be lucky to sniff Madonna's stardust as she breezed by. Which meant anything else would be a cause for joyous celebration. We also chit-chatted with a sexy, dark-haired (they have those there?) Swede named Pablo (they have those there, too?) who shoots for Vogue. He was much nicer than you'd expect for a Vogue shooter, and him saying, "One shot for Vogue?" had the effect of a brick wall, stopping nearly every celeb who breezed by. (Patti Smith was not impressed, but I was fucking impressed that Patti Smith walked past me, let alone that she was attending a movie by Madonna.)
The carpet got off to a slow start, but the tip sheet was insane! Check out all the names:
Some of these people didn't do press or didn't show
The first star on the carpet seemed to be one of the film's two male leads, dreamy James D'Arcy, who looks even better with a shaved head that he does with his foppish blond Edward 'do.
Julia Stiles is miles of smiles—for Vogue
Ewan told this reporter the answer to her question was HIS business
Andrew McCarthy was born to run
Patti Smith— love to know her opinion of her fellow Downtown doyenne
It's Diane von Furstenberg, y'all!
"Mine is even younger than yours, dahhhling!" With Calvin Klein!
Guy Oseary said "too stressed!" when I asked if I could quiz him
Spartacus sexpot Lucy Lawless with Liam McIntyre; she unceremoniously plopped her coat on the carpet to pose. She was fab!
Big, unaffiliated stars slipped past most of the press, namely Ewan McGregor (who was at one point attached to do this film), Julia Stiles (who was having absolutely none of any press except for a shot for Vogue), Andrew McCarthy (who gamely answered my question about a fantasy Madonna collaboration: "A duet, of course!"), a stunning Lucy Lawless with equally stunning Liam McIntyre (she gave me a great answer, he sort of avoided making eye contact rather than give us a "no") and then still others who I only saw fleetingingly like Diane von Furstenberg, Guy Oseary (Madonna's manager said he was too stressed to answer my question), Donna Karan, Calvin Klein (big kiss for and from Madonna and some conspiratorial chatting amongst them, perhaps about hot young guys!), Lady Bunny (I was impressed, too), Zac Posen, Ivanka Trump (pretty, actually) Jack McCollough & Lazaro Hernandez (hotness) and several people even I didn't recognize. (Not Z-listers, more like fashion A-listers.)
Above, Simon Baker is all kinda hot, even in this pose from Globe (January 23, 2012). Below, TV Guide (January 16—22, 2012) teases with this Geoff Stults grin-pic:
