Man Candy Mondays: William Levy

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:30:00 -0700

Would you care to punch our dance card, William? This muy caliente Cuban-born dancer/actor/model — and current People cover star! — is on our radar in a major way. Certain photos of him wearing nothing but a strategically placed cowboy hat piqued our interest in this stud... and we've been following his fancy footwork ever since — especially after he skyrocketed to fame on Dancing With the Stars. We hate to share him with the world, but if super-stardom means we get to see his face more often, we'll gladly spill our best-kept secret.

Jamie Beckman — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 11:15:00 -0700

Think it's just guys who go Hangover-crazy during their pre-nuptial bashes? No way! Ladies are known to party nonstop too — perhaps even harder than the boys. Before you step your stiletto heel outside of the limo, remember these bachelorette party don'ts — because even if you don't get inked with a Mike Tyson-style tattoo, you can still end up red-faced the next morning.

Man Candy Mondays: Adam Brody

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 07:00:00 -0700

Think about it: Would there be many things better in life than sitting across from Adam Brody, sharing a milkshake and trading opinions about punk rock, DC versus Marvel comics, the state of film today — and then having him lean over and give you a sweet, lingering kiss? We don't think so! Even though we're still a little smitten with his character Seth Cohen on The O.C., Adam Brody is all grown up, sexy as ever and starring in acclaimed director Whit Stillman's newest film, Damsels in Distress — alongside a bevy of hot, talented women. Seth Cohen, how far you've come!

So you kicked him to the curb! Or maybe you're the one who got booted. Either way, congratulations on your breakup! Your life is opening up all around you — and here's how to embrace it: Visualize your new life without your ex on a big ol' canvas: a "wish board."

Man Candy Mondays: Armie Hammer

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:00:00 -0700

Blond, built and chiseled at 6-foot-5-inches, Armie Hammer is practically He-Man . In other words: hot, strapping and utterly manly. Now, he'll inhabit another character we first met in childhood: The prince in Snow White — more specifically, Prince Andrew Alcott in the comedic film Mirror Mirror, starring Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen and Lily Collins as Snow White, which just premiered in theaters. We'll take a kiss from this hunk to bring us back to life!

5 Ways to seduce him without touch

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:00:00 -0700

The fun thing about sex is that it usually has more to do with your brain than your body, which means foreplay can start well before any clothes come off — even prior to actually seeing your partner in the flesh. Here are a few seduction tips to maximize that space of time after you've had your first sexy thought of the day but before you're able to jump into bed — no physical touching necessary. Before you know it, you'll find yourself spending less time warming up and more time breathing hot and heavy.

Man Candy Mondays: Jason Segel

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 07:00:00 -0700

Wading through young adulthood isn't so bad when you have adorable actor Jason Segel as a partner in crime. We've spent years watching the multitalented cutie in shows like How I Met Your Mother and movies including Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so we kinda feel like we've grown up with him. We won't lie: We totally want Jason to be our boyfriend — the kind of guy who will sing karaoke with us and cheer us up with an impromptu puppet show when we're sad. Now we'll get to see his serious side in his role as an unemployed 30-something still hanging out in his mom's basement in Jeff, Who Lives at Home, now playing in theaters.

Jamie Beckman — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 05:00:00 -0700

You're beginning to look like quite the catch, if you do say so yourself. Hold on just one second. Before you make your online dating profile fair game for all of those hot single guys lying in wait, pat your profile down for any signs of "crazy."

Man Candy Mondays: Liam Hemsworth

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 07:07:00 -0700

We thought we couldn't be any more psyched about The Hunger Games movie, and then we found out that Aussie hottie Liam Hemsworth was cast as heroine Katniss Everdeen's hunting partner and bestie Gale Hawthorne. Thank you, casting directors! We're anxiously counting down the days until March 23 , because now we have two reasons to stand in line: seeing a beautiful book come to life onscreen and feasting our eyes on Liam.

Man Candy Mondays: Randy Wayne

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 07:50:00 -0700

We're randy for Randy! Whenever we catch a glimpse of him — whether it's on TV in The Lying Game or on the big screen as Luke Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning — a little piece of us is reminded of the popular boy we all had a crush on in high school. Except Randy is hotter! His series The Lying Game just wrapped up its first season, but that's not the last we're going to see of Randy Wayne — not by a long shot. He chatted with us on the phone about his upcoming projects, why he's a terrible liar and the most fun acting role he's ever had. Betcha can't guess which one!

Man Candy Mondays: Jason O'Mara

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:00:00 -0800

What is it about guys with accents? Specifically, really good-looking guys with accents. Whether the accent makes them sexy or it's just the cherry on top, we'll take Jason O'Mara based on his voice alone. And it doesn't hurt that he looks amazing in a plain ol' T-shirt and jeans. Even better, we get to see him man-handle handcuffs and guns while playing cop Joe Morelli, rom-com heroine Katherine Heigl's foil, in One for the Money, in theaters now.

16 Relationship deal breakers

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 05:00:00 -0700

No guy is perfect — and we're thankful for that, because we like quirk! But sometimes a man's less-than-pleasant traits can mean the difference between hanging onto him and cutting him loose. So in the spirit of March Madness bracket fever, we'd like to present the SheKnows Relationship Dealbreaker bracket — grab a pen, furrow your brow and make the call: Which big relationship sin is the most heinous? You don't have to tell us whether you're speaking from personal experience — but you're welcome to in the comments section!

Man Candy Mondays: John Krasinski

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:04:00 -0800

Raise your hand if you've ever fantasized about Jim from The Office. Hmmm, yep, that's about every heterosexual woman in America. We'd like seconds of what John Krasinski brings to the table as an actor — a quick wit, an endearing grin and that sense that maybe, if you look hard enough, you can find a guy just like him in a cubicle down the hall at work. Now we'll get to see his animal instincts in Big Miracle, a movie about a real-life mission to save a family of majestic gray whales.

Man Candy Mondays: Ne-Yo

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:00:00 -0800

Penning songs, acting in movies, crooning tunes, nailing complicated choreography and producing hits are all in a day's work for multitalented singer Ne-Yo. And did we mention that he's incredibly good looking? Yeah, he's pretty much the total package, which explains why we can't stop listening to his music. Let's put it this way: If you're in the club, shaking it to one of Ne-Yo's latest efforts makes you appreciate life — and, ahem, sexy singers. Now, we get to see him on the silver screen in the World War II action drama Red Tails, now playing in theaters.

Jamie Beckman — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:25:00 -0800

There's nothing like getting frisky to make you forget all about winter's chill. But which moves, exactly, are most likely to warm you up — and burn a few extra calories in the process? We wanted hard numbers, so we turned to Alyssa Dweck, M.D., co-author of V is for Vagina, to get the stats on how sex can literally turn up the heat.

5 Guys we'd love to wake up to (and 5 we wouldn't)

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:00:00 -0800

Lucky Rachel McAdams! When she opens her eyes in The Vow after a bad traffic accident, she sees hottie Channing Tatum who — surprise! — is her husband. Sure, she has to get to know him all over again, but he's Channing Tatum! What's not to like? That got us thinking: What if we woke up, stretched our arms and found a movie star by our bedside? Which five guys would we love to wake up to? And which five guys would be such a nightmare we'd want to slip back into a coma? Here are our picks.

6 Crazy places to have sex

Jamie Beckman — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:30:00 -0800

For some of us, an exotic place to make love might be the foot of the bed rather than the middle of the bed, but for others, no place on Earth is too sacred for a little nookie. The six locales listed below are all places couples have recently had sex — some are doable for any pair, and some are so bonkers they attracted the attention of the police. Read on for a few ideas to add to your sexual geography map. Just try to avoid getting arrested.

Jamie Beckman — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:00:00 -0800

Chocolates, a dinner, a movie... all good things. What person, male or female, wouldn't want a little more lovin' — and an extra dessert — on Valentine's Day? It's thinking outside the box that will get you in trouble. If you've been looking to finally unleash your crazy on your man friend, Valentine's Day is the day to go hog wild. Try one of these extraordinary products: The perfect Valentine's Day baubles for the gal who's looking to present her lover with the gift of sheer terror.

Man Candy Mondays: Ralph Fiennes

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 05:00:00 -0800

Smooth, sexy and self-aware, Ralph Fiennes is an Englishman with that certain dash of something that makes him sexy as can be. With a vulnerability that peeks through even when he's furrowing his brow in serious roles, Ralph is our ideal date for an arm-in-arm stroll through the English countryside. Now, the Oscar nominee tackles Shakespeare on the big screen in Coriolanus — Ralph's directorial debut — which is showing in theaters everywhere.

Man Candy Mondays: Sam Worthington

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:00:00 -0800

A recipe for Sam Worthington might go a little something like this: a heaping cup of rough-around-the-edges everyman with a dash of hot Aussie and a pinch of self-effacing modesty. That comely combination makes him one of our favorite faces to watch onscreen because there's something irresistible about a manly man who works hard at his job, end of story. Pretension? Preening? Pseudo-intellectualism? Nah. That's just not Sam, and we think that's pretty sexy. Most recently, Worthington spent days tethered to the ledge of a building for the film Man on a Ledge, about a framed cop trying to clear his name, which is in theaters now.
