A few, since LOST ends this Sunday (snif!), so I'm in a LOST mood:

Ian Somerhalder looking all ruggedly handsome (don't like his clean-cut look so much):


My favorite Scottish person (actually, my favorite LOST character!), Henry Ian Cusick (and the woman is his wife, I think):


Jeremy Davies looking spiffy:


And one classy, gorgeous lady(*), Rebecca Mader (not posting any of Evangeline Lilly because apparently she wasn't at that event):

(*)I'm wondering what happened to her beautiful red hair, though. Did she dye it red for LOST, or was it naturally red and now she's dyed it blonde?

#23 Evan Lysacek is a figure skater for the United States. He won the Olympic gold medal in the men's division at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. His skating at the Olympics rated right up there as One of the Most Beautiful Things I Have Ever Seen.

Right now, he's also on the US reality/contest show "Dancing with the Stars." Not only is he handsome truly (as Will said), but he seems to be an incredibly sweet young man.

Only reason I even remotely consider watching Fringe. Well, in the eye candy department, as John Noble's scenes are a delight to watch most of the time.

This is for Clam:

Got it. He's handsome indeed.

#27
I've only just begun watching Glee, and I soooo want to catch up quickly because I know tonight airs the Joss Whedon/Neil Patrick Harris episode!

#29
It's OK. We won't hold it against you. :P

And then, there's this man. The sexiest actor in the whole True Blood series universe (I don't find Vampire Bill the slightest bit attractive!):





Oops!! Sorry! I know the man is sexy, but nobody needs that much sexiness in their computer screen. Image was huuuuge!!!

#28: Who doesn´t? :-)

#29: Okay, so he's not blonde-blonde. But, he has light eyes and light(-ish?) hair, which is still not my department. However, when one is presented with a guy this cute who can act, sing, dance and to top it all plays an all-around good boy on the telly, how does one resist?
Oh, and not knowing a good-looking person's name shouldn't stop one from staring at their pretty face now and then, don't you agree? :-D
PS: That guy's name is Matthew Morrison, AKA Mr. Schuster in Glee.

#30: Loved the first pic!

#32: Ooh, just thinking of it makes my heart beat faster, rather-cliché-falling-scene notwithstanding.

#35 (before edit) and #36: I can relate. This is the reason why I started watching Bones (and now am totally hooked):



I think he's hot even wearing a hospital robe!

#40: Oh, but I understand! That's (one of the reasons) why I prefer to look at Schumaker with his helmet on, handsome as he is. ;-)

Susan Sarandon
This woman is gorgeous. And super, super sexy.


Katee Sackhoff
I just recently started watching Battlestar Galactica on DVD, and she's the best thing ever!

Speaking of Bond:



I know I should be too old to have a crush on Michael Buble, but I still so do. *sigh* How can you not?



The only reason I watch anything SNL related, Seth Meyers:



If my hometown newscasters looked like that, I'd have paid much more attention to local news. Just saying....

How can we have kitchen people without my favourite football player turned star chef? Sheesh! ;)

That's so weird, that guy reminds me of Ewan McGregor in The Island (2005).

I'm just going to put this out there. I think Scarlett Johansson got into the best-looking shape of her life for that movie, which is why I always remember it. ahh.

Speaking of Scarlett Johansson...My husband and I went to see Iron Man 2. I have always thought that Gwyneth Paltrow was a beautiful woman, but I didn't even notice her in scenes where she was in the same frame as Scarlett. I have to admit, she is my new girl crush.

Nope, not yet. :( A group of friends and I have a list of "to-be-watched" shows and Glee is on it. We've only seen two episodes so far. We have vowed to finish with Battlestar Galactica first until we continue with the next show on the list, which is getting longer by the week!

#102
*sigh*
One of the reasons I'm liking watching BSG on DVD right now is that I get to see Paul Ballard again. Yes, for me he will always be Paul:

OMG, that sideways look!


Two of my girl crushes from Dollhouse (apart from Dichen, #107)



#105
I didn't know about the UK original until I saw the US version. :) I didn't watch every episode of the US one, but I liked what I saw. I keep hearing people think it was awful, but since I have no comparison... A friend was telling me last night about the spin-off of the UK version, Ashes to Ashes, which ended recently. And now those two are on my super long list of shows I'll eventually get to watch some day!

#108
Uhhh... #94 is Jamie Bamber, a fine, fine Brit, not that the Scottish Ewan is not as fine. ;)
Incidentally, Jamie was also on Dollhouse for one episode, in all his British-accent glory. It's weird hearing him as an American in BSG now...

You must watch the UK version of "Life on Mars" - it's brilliant and has the gorgeous John Simm who should be on this thread!
"Ashes to Ashes" isn't as good but I thought the end was brilliant - serious, funny and sentimental.

Tahmoh Penikett was my favourite in BSG as well and I just discovered he's Canadian - do you think he'd marry me? - I could do with an escape from my own depressing rut here in the UK.

#112 I found Keeley Hawes incredibly annoying for the first couple of series of Ashes and even gave up on the whole thing half way throught he second series. Then I just happened to catch the third almost by accident. What a turnaround! Even she had become slightly less irritating but the plotline had taken a giant swerve towards brilliant. I actually thought the final episode very nearly equalled Mars. Such a shame the early ones probably lost them a lot of viewers.

We're having what I think is the second series of Ashes to Ashes here in the states now. I quite enjoy it, probably as much or more than Life on Mars--probably because of the relationship (whatever it is!) between Alex and Gene Hunt (who is beyond brilliant--the same actor was in Cranford and couldn't have been more different). In fact:

He was in a couple of romantic comedy miniseries, "Reckless" and "Me and Mrs. Jones," played a police detective in "Touching Evil" and a psychologist who works with the police in the creepy "Wire in the Blood." Other things, too, but those are ones I know and love. "Reckless" in particular is very funny and fun; I highly recommend it if you can get it on DVD.
