Can You Play Basket Ball in Your Briefs ?

Dreamboats fan Marky Mark writes in '' Can You Play Basket Ball in briefs?  '', yes Marky you can as Simon Nessman demonstrates here . Simon has said would love  go 'one on one' with fellow Basket Ball player actor and model Giant Nick , game on !

Killing Me Softly with his Song ! Its Austin Butler !

Bye Bye Miss American Pie 

Yes this teen idol turned folk singer  is on the fast track and with Matty P tragically laid up with a groin injury due to a work out gone out of control . Austin is now on the cusp of teen idol stardom as his long awaited film debut in 'Aliens In The Attic' is nearing completion . (All right its been finished ages ago with the release date getting changed ) and now Austins comedy talents are to be showcased on the small screen to a waiting world in 'Ruby and the Rockits' .

Starring 'I'm just a day dreamer' - David Cassidy playing you'll never guess a  former teen idol, who is still rocking and rolling turns up with his newly discovered daughter on his brother and former band mates doorstep . Yes it sounds absolutely  hysterical and well I was surprised to hear how deep Austins voice was in the teaser . I'm not sure he even got to speak in the 'Aliens in the Attic Trailer' . Anyways  tune in this July  to ABC family when 'Ruby and the Rockits' debuts.                                                                                                

To Me You Are a Work of Art - Mark Beard

Return To Paradise Cover Art by Mark Beard

I've been meaning to post the above cover for Return to Paradise which adorned the slip case for  Abercrombie and Fitch's Quarterly which came out last year . I loved the cover since I first saw it . Mark beard who painted it is a New York based artist who intriguingly works under six other artistic personalities . Mark painted the Abercrombie and Fitch cover as 'himself'  but this work comes from a period where he was the artist Bob Sergent who 'died' in a wrestling accident in 1938. I wonder did Bruce choose Mark to be the cover artist or did Abercrombie suggest Mark as he has done murals for both the flagship stores in New York and London . 

I could see Bob Sargeant's paintings hung in some mythical preparatory school maybe Holden Caulfields 'Pencey Prep' from Catcher In The Rye . Or maybe in hung up in the library of the 'Forge School'  in Paul Russell's The Coming Storm . Bruce Weber's photography and Mark Beards art are truly a match made in heaven .

Teen Idol Down !

''I'm not ready for my close up Mr DeMille ''

Yes it was a case 'Teen Idol Down' when Matty P was rushed to hospital with groin strain , its not known what caused the injury or how this affects filming on the sure to be teen comedy classic 'Couger Hunting' . Was Matt filming the much publicised steamy love scene shoot with the original Black Widow- Laura Flynn Boyle of Twink Peak fame? .

Matty P to have steamy love scene in Cougar Hunting !

I'm ready for my close up Mr DeMille

Yes shooting continues on Cougar Hunting , its emerged that Matty will have a steamy love scene , but whose the lucky guy ? why its no other than Twink Peaks Laura Flynn Boyle who was said to be '' only mildly horrified as she gasped at the fact that Matt Prokop looked as much like her son as he would a lover '' Ever the professional I'm sure this notion will not put Laura off the steamy scene .

Sweetheart on Skis

Matt's Titanic Tresses look in awesome shape

Freddy in Speedos ? The unspeakable horror of it All !

Yes as the clock counts down to filming on the re imagining of spook classic 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' , its been announced that a scene will be filmed in one of the local schools pools in Chicago . Of course my mind went into over drive and thought which one of the cast will take part in the scene and more importantly what will wear they wear ? Well I'd be pretty much be  happy to see either kyle Gallner or Thomas Dekker in speedos or Jammers , but I feel it could be Twilighter Kellan Lutz as he's in final negations to join the cast as .... wait you've  guest it! dance student Billy whose confused about his sexuality ...no actually hes up for playing the Jock . Well no surprises there really .

As this photograph of Kellan screen testing for the swimming scene shows kellans swimming outfit is a radical interpretation of the classic racing jammer .

Are Kellan Killer pecs a match for  Freddy ?

Interesting juxtaposition

Running Without Sound! Its Shad 'Skyline Sweetheart' Sagger

Sean from Running Without Sound

So the other night I was watching a few short films and a  couple caught my eye . The first one I liked was called Running Without Sound (2004)  which maybe not in Mudge Boy shorts status but there was a lot to like about it . Schoolboy runner Sean (played by the wonderfully named Shad Sagger)  whose deaf , falls for fellow runner Derek played by Trace Barnes while Sean's friend 'hunky runner' looks on , well looking hunky and like any shirtless hunk he knows sign language too .

No Locker room action for Sean 

Dreamy D in green is the object of fellow runner Sean's affections 

Hunky Runner was he jealous ?

Time for a date - Sean makes his move 

Next after a run around the neighbourhood during physical  education , Sean summons up all his courage to ask dreamy Derek on a date . Well all right he doesn't , he wants to go on some running sessions but just with him  . Alas for Sean , 'Dreamy D'  has  a  running partner , but he invites our him in .Then in Derek's crib ,when  Derek is called downstairs  unexpectedly, our hero glances into his crushes secret diary which as you would expect for a secret diary  is right there on the bookshelf . 

Deamy D walks in and catches Sean reading his secret diary 

'' What ! Dreamy D has a crush on Hunky Runner ?''

Derek walks back in the room and catches Sean in the act , saying that his secret diary is ' private '. Sean moves to go , but Dreamy D says 'Hold on ' and the following happens ....

Yes the sequence is a tad overlong , and your thinking ''aw their going to kiss  '' but the kiss never happens .Its an odd film as it ends well pretty much with their desire unresolved .Do they go out ?, or are they now  just friends ?does hunky runner end up on the skool wrestling team or go into modeling for Abercrombie  and Fitch ?

I did enjoy  Shads Saggers acting and I wondered where is he now , well of course hes in a boy band called 'SkyLine' who are on one awesome mission to take the world by storm and embark on the greatest adventure of their lives. 

Step by Step Its Skyline !  Shads in the middle !

These boiz mean business as their biography states ...''Rockin' original Skyline dog tags around their necks, the boys use this symbol of commitment to enter the unforgiving battle ground that is the music industry. The tags represent a dedication to the fight in delivering music that transcends what boy bands are stereotypically expected to do. Unlike others,(O Town , Backstreet Boys  , Take 5 ) Skyline was self-assembled: it was the product of five relentless hearts who decided to dress like themselves and sing songs that rang true. Skyline is proud to inject a dose of realness into its music. '' 

Shads a Skyline Sweetheart

I say good luck to Shad and the Skyboiz ,particularly as their my space includes a fan section where fans of all ages can declare their love for the boiz .Shad has captured  fans dreams as the boy next door or as hes called 'Skyline Sweat heart ' and I loved the photo of fan Leo holding his handmade Valentine's card asking if Shad could be his Valentine .Equally heartwarming was Shads declaration of joy in finding his 'brothers in the band'  ...

Peace Out

The All New Adventures of Rock Cherub George Craig .

I was wondering as you do where 'Rock Cherub George' had gone , had he fallen off the catwalk in a recent modeling job  had he caught a cold with loosing his shirt or swaggering around in his rock vest ? . In fact George is busy putting the final touches to his bands new long player , but he did find time to launch  Burberry's new fragrance  for men 'The Beat' , a fresh and morning wood sensation for men '' . Lovely . 

'Boxers or Briefs ?' Rock Cherub pauses for thought as he answers the question 

thats on everybody's mind

Holy Backcombing Bonanza !

Back at work on stage and in the spotlight , its getting hot !

Shazam ! As the Rock Cherubs Top vanishes !

He's got the Beat !

 George Don't do it ! 

An Interesting Juxtaposition 

Simon's Star

Now how perfect is this , I'm guessing that it has to be Monty C .

It's that Fence again , as made famous in numerous Keith Munyan shoots 

Extra Extra Read All About IT!

May's Nylon Magazine has an article entitled ''Fast Future Generation 09 '' in which the esteemed publication looks at the next wave of  young actors poised of the cusp of stardom . But holy shocking admissions ! wheres Action Alex ? obviously missing in action  or Lucas 'Amazing Jaw Line' Till ?, has  working with Miley tainted his ability to get into this ' Hip List of Hotties ' and what about Matty P ? doesn't running an odd job agency between parts warrant his inclusion ?. Shocking admissions aside lets see who made it ...

The Adonis fully clothed

Yes he's back and amazingly still with his clothes on !. Lord knows how long this Adonis clothed craze  will continue , but I do notice that Adonis Aaron is slightly tugging at his C.K jacket as if any second he could take it off and send it flying !

Next , its Its all the fun or the fair for our next trio of young actors ; Charlie McDermott , Logan Lerman and Mark L Young

Logan busy watching Spartacus

Logan as we know is in deep method training to play Percy Jackson (who is a son of a Greek god .) This entails wearing a toga 24 hours a day and watching that classic scene from the  film 'Spartacus' in which  Roman senator Crassius (Laurence Olivier) is discussing with his young slave Antoninus (Tony Curtis) how to treat women, when the senator declares to Antoninus  'Ah, my taste … includes both oysters and snails '. 

Charlie Breaking Out 

Charlie's breakout role was in 'Frozen River' which won the grand Jury Prize at Sundance last year . Mark stars in HBO's 'Big Love'. 'I really like playing messed up characters ' says Mark  who also wants to work with Wes Anderson. Lovely . 

Mark's  Shirt and T shirt by The Gap

Together - Both young actors also starred  in the comedy Sex Drive
