Kellan Lutz – No.1 for Mens Health

Men’s Health released there top 25 Summer Bodies for 2010.  There’s a whole mix in there.  We weren’t thinking that Lutz would of made number 1!  We had in mind Lautner or possibly Zefron.
Me’s Health had this to say on Lutz:
Kellan Lutz understands the power of a six-pack. His abs epiphany came during an eighth-grade graduation party at a water park. “Before then, I never knew abs were attractive,” says the 25-year-old, who plays vampire Emmet Cullen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

“Where I grew up in Arizona, you would never …

Wolfgang West to Were Wolf – Grant Bowler

If your a watcher of New Zealand T.V then you’d remember Outrageous Fortune’s – Wolfgang West, in real life an all over nice guy – Grant Bowler.  If his old name Wolfgang is anything to go by he keeps it for real in HBO’s Vampire Series of True Blood.
I had to do a double take when I saw him playing a Were Wolf known as Cooter.  Not only has hes muscled up for this for his role,  he has put a lot into his character.  The 42yr old actor shares with Da Man Magazine:
On starting his …

Jesse Metcalfe for August Man

Jesse Metcalfe makes an appearance for August Man, highlighting his latest career move to the new series Chase.  The NBC series has Emmy Award-winning executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI franchise, The Amazing Race, Pirates of the Caribbean) at the helm with actors including Amaury Nolasco (Prison Break), Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch, Ugly Betty, CSI Miami) and Kelli Giddish (Past Life).

Zac Efron – Charlie St Cloud

Zac Efron’s latest movie looks sorta blah… you’d think he’d step up and take on something more up beat, I guess its the transition of moving from High School Musical (kids/teen) to adult movie roles.
In his interview with MTV he says,  ”Charlie St. Cloud, may be emotional, but it isn’t sappy!  Director Burr Steers doesn’t do sappy, you know what I mean?  He is all about story and dialogue and plot and all about real.”
I think the movie maybe a real tear-jerker… maybe some action movies would be good some …

Scott Pilgrim v’s The World

The movie takes place in an offbeat world where people with superpowers battle like characters in video games to their demise. When a gothic man soars through the roof of a nightclub and challenges Scott Pilgrim to a fight for the hand of his new girlfriend, nobody seems especially amazed. The incident isn’t even mentioned on the nightly news.
That’s kind of what I enjoyed about “Scott Pilgrim,” though. The film has no logic and makes no attempt to have any logic. So why should I attempt to find logic in …
