We don't remember much from the 1998 Iggy Pop-inspired film Velvet Goldmine other than a very specific scene involving Ewan McGregor and leather pants... or lack thereof, more accurately. So every time we see this fox on the silver screen, we drift back to that warm, fuzzy memory and sit back while he wows us with his acting chops, his singing voice and a face that launched a thousand girlhood fantasies.

Endowed with talent, acting chops and a hot bod that will forever be frozen in the '90s pop culture canon, Mark Wahlberg is sex-a-licious no matter what professional role he takes — from playing a '70s porn star in Boogie Nights, portraying a dirty detective in The Departed or taking the reins as a Hollywood producer, bringing us hit shows like Entourage . Now, as a reformed criminal who rejoins the smuggling game in Contraband, in theaters now, Mark shows us his best action star yet. We'll kick back and dream about him defending our honor, whether at a red carpet event or on a gritty city street.

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 08:01:00 -0800

Picture this: You're on a dinner date engaging in smart back-and-forth banter worthy of Moonlighting, exchanging bon mots and touchés and crazy-witty cultural references... and here's the best part: Your sparring partner has gorgeous eyes, movie star good looks and is sexy as hell. Check, please! There's one man we know of who can fit that bill, and it's Robert Downey Jr. Fast-talking, unpredictable and handsome, bad boy RDJ is the thinking woman's perfect match -- which is why seeing Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is high on our New Year's to-do list.

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:00:00 -0800

It's no mystery why we melt for this mischievous Brit: Jude Law is equal parts bad boy, ethereal hottie and talented actor .

Family man Matt Damon has come a long way since the days of the Oscar-winning film Good Will Hunting. We knew straight away that he was a talented screenwriter, and his acting has followed suit, with edge-of-your-seat action roles like the Bourne movies and laugh-fests like guest appearances on 30 Rock. Now, he acts alongside Scarlett Johansson in a heartwarming family comedy called We Bought A Zoo, which is about building a better life for his children... at a fixer-upper zoo.

Man Candy Mondays: Colin Firth

Jamie Beckman — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0800

If there were ever a man to be described as "dashing," it's Colin Firth. This refined Brit's smooth delivery, wry sense of humor and classic good looks let him slide seamlessly from modern to historical roles — meaning he has a tendency to make women swoon no matter what the century. Now, in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, set in Cold War-era Britain, he dons another sexy costume: that of a secret agent. Whether we're sporting lacy pantaloons or leopard-print knickers in our romantic fantasies, trust us: Colin Firth is there, waiting to sweep us off our feet.

The Midwest sure grows 'em cute. Case in point: football superstar Kurt Warner, who has played quarterback for NFL teams including the St. Louis Rams, the New York Giants and the Arizona Cardinals. And this cutie QB is as fiery-hot in person as he is on the field, which makes us want to hang out around the locker room. Or... maybe in it.
