Mid-week Man Candy

This week's Man Candy is Michael Vartan. It's a travesty that he has never been Man Candy before. How could we forget Vaughn, Sydney's super-hot CIA contact on Alias? We cried so hard when he "died" (I guess that's a spoiler, but really, you should have already watched Alias). He also played the teacher in Never Been Kissed. Oh, and he's French. I can't believe Jennifer Garner ever broke up with him. Ben Affleck is a definite downgrade. So we apologize, Michael Vartan, for neglecting you all this time. It won't happen again.

Mid-week Man Candy

It's the first Man Candy of the year! We have to start things out right.


Can you believe "Clueless" came out 14 years ago? I feel so old. That movie was, and still is, awesome. Paul Rudd was so cute as Josh, the nerdy ex-step-brother, and he's still hot 14 years later. It seems like he's in about 90% of the movies I watch these days, which is fine with me. I checked IMDB and it looks like he has some good movies coming out soon, so we have more greatness to look forward to in 2009.

Mid-week Man Candy

Sorry this is late - I lost my phone in Athens today, so I didn't get Katy's reminder text. On the bright side, I'm getting a new phone tomorrow. Unless I have to wait until I get back to Texas, which would suck. Anyway...


This week's Man Candy is Will Arnett. I don't think he's ever made a good movie, but his TV career totally makes up for it. Arrested Development is one of the best shows of all time, and he also has an excellent recurring role on 30 Rock. Plus he's married to Amy Poehler. Oh, and did I mention he's Canadian? Awesome. So get to work on that Arrested Development movie, Will, and make sure it doesn't suck, OK?

Michael Bluth: So this is the magic trick, huh?
George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money...
[sees children watching his magic]
George Oscar 'Gob' Bluth: ...or candy!

Mid-week Man Candy

Well, with Katy in Georgia for Thanksgiving, Man Candy duties fall to me again. Hence Man Candy is a little late.


This week's Man Candy is Bradley Cooper. Actually, as with most people who were on Alias, I usually refer to him by his character's name - Will Tippin. Oh, Will Tippin, the hottest fake journalist on TV. I was so sad after he got betrayed by fake Francie and had to go into witness protection. He came back twice, but it just wasn't the same. Bradley Cooper also played supporting roles in a lot of movies I haven't seen or didn't like and starred in the show Kitchen Confidential, which quite deservedly got canceled after four episodes. But despite all that, I will love Will Tippin forever.

Mid-week Man Candy

This week's Man Candy is Seth Meyers, SNL head writer and Weekend Update anchor. Some people say SNL is not as funny as it used to be. I say, shut up, yes it is. Three things I love about Seth Meyers: he's funny, he's cute and he loves the Red Sox. I tried to find a video of the Point/Counterpoint he did with Derek Jeter ("Jeter, you suck in three very specific ways: So hard, so bad and wicked bad"), but there isn't one. Also, I don't think Katy would have appreciated it.

Side note: Seth Meyers also appeared briefly in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," which stars Michael Cera, one of only two people Katy has banned from Man Candy (the other is the enemy QB who shall not be named). I was going to go rogue and post a picture of Michael Cera instead this week, but then I told Katy I was going to do it, which kind of ruined the surprise. But trust me, I'll sneak him into the blog somehow.

Mid-week Man Candy

Here's to you, Anderson Cooper. Your brooding news broadcast makes watching CNN an most enjoyable experience. Your salt and pepper hair and boyish smile can make even the gloomiest report more bearable. You also make funny comments about how there is no way a crazy looking poodle can be First Dog. So bravo, Anderson.

Mid-Week Man Candy

Here's to you, Graham Harrell. You are pretty foxy on the field, throwing all sorts of touchdowns and such. Too bad when you open your mouth, you sound like Daniel Boone would have, but that can be avoided. Some people are just good looking and good at what they do. Pretty lucky, eh? Hope this doesn't curse you...we'd both feel really bad.

Mid-week Man Candy

Here's to you David Sutcliffe, aka Rory's dad from Gilmore Girls and hot cop from Private Practice. You were so adorable flirting with Lorelai and, now, with Addison. I personally wish you'd take off your shirt a lot more. So here's to you, David. May you not be written off Private Practice quite yet.

Mid-week Man Candy

Here's to you, Josh Jackson, aka Pacey aka Charlie Conway. Your Might Ducks days are way behind you and we're happy to see that you have grown in to a hot, hot man. You may not have been the cutest Duck ::cough::Banks::cough:: but you shine up like a new penny. I (Katy) haven't watched Fringe...but I'm sure it's a huge upgrade from the whiney Pacey Days. So bravo.

Mid-Week Man Candy

Well, apparently the Man Candy curse hasn't affected Evan Longoria at all. Thanks a lot, Katy, for crushing my World Series dreams. Anyway...


I don't admit this very often, but "7th Heaven" is one of my favorite shows of all time. A lot of that was because of Matt Camden, aka Barry Watson. Even though he didn't get the best story lines (he had a deaf girlfriend, but Simon killed a guy), he was still awesome. And now he's on "Samantha Who?" which is also a great show. So congratulations, Barry Watson, for ongoing awesomeness and for getting better looking with age.

Mid-Week Man Candy

No blood and guts this week, just hotness.



Here's to you Evan Longoria. The Rays third basemen celebrated his 23rd birthday one day early on Monday but helping Tampa Bay advance to the ALCS...and lookin' fine while doing so. It's funny how similar his name is to Eva Longoria, but I personally find Evan more fun to look at than Eva (I suppose it's a matter of opinion). I hope this doesn't curse him like past man candy men, because I want the Rays to win the ALCS, but after the whole John Parker Wilson debacle, I don't even know what to think anymore.

Mid-Week Man Candy

OK, this is how you know I might be insane. I looked through a bunch of pictures of this week's man candy, and this one was my favorite.


Look at the brain mess splattered all over his jacket. Gross.

OK, here's a different picture that I know Katy will prefer.


So, Sylar. You are by far the best part of Heroes, which is one of the best shows on TV, which makes you pretty much the greatest person in the world. Reason #100 why I'm glad I live alone: I scream a little bit every time he shows up onscreen (also reason #100 why I'll probably be living alone forever). Anyway, we love you when you're one of the good guys, but I was so much more excited when you killed the guy who played Weevil on Veronica Mars. So enjoy being a Petrelli and continue being super hot, but don't forget that we love you because you're so evil.

Mid-Week Man Candy

We are doing an experiment this week so bare with us...



Here's to you John Parker Wilson. At first, we thought you were inferior to Ross (see MTV's Two A Days), but now we've come to our senses. We love the way your 'Bama bangs fall so sexily over your brooding eyes and the way you throw the ball down field. You won't be the cutest QB on field Saturday evening in Athens...but you'll be nice to look at. If only there was some way Matt Ryan could also be involved, that would be heaven.

MWMC....One day late

Apologies...this whole grad school thing is sorta time consuming.



Here's you to Michael Rady, aka Max from Greek. Yea, he was Costas (ironically, the Greek guy) from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but something about his nerdy RA hot self on Greek makes him so much more attractive (or maybe it's the lack of fact Greek accent. You are nerdily adorable a la Chuck and Seth Cohen (aka Katy's ideal match) and I giddily will watch Greek from now on as long as you are on the show. So bravo. You can study astronomy with me any day.

Mid-week Man Candy...and apology to any Pats fans

OK, we're sorry. We're really, REALLY sorry. When we posted that picture of Tom Brady and his son, we thought it was just a really cute family moment. Little did we know that Tom would become the next victim of the Mccluca curse. It's beginning to freak us out a little. Yea, not everyone we post has something bad happen, but it happens enough times and close enough to when we post them that we are going to be a lot more wary of what we post...i.e. no more UGA posts...can't take the chance.

skitchkd (8:07:57 PM): so i really really feel bad about tom brady
ffiore957 (8:08:29 PM): if anything happens to knowshon, we are deleting the blog

But we can still have some fun...I didn't run this by Jess but oh well...



Let's hug it out, Adrian Grenier. Entourage aka one of the best shows started again this week, and Vince was looking as saucy as ever. I still remember when you were in that movie with Melissa Joan Hart and you were even more adorable in Devil Wears Prada, but even with a full beard, you still look sexy.

Mid-Week Man Candy

So we had talked about making someone else Man Candy this week, but after two Man Candy casualties (i.e. here and here again) we are not taking any chances...

So here's to you Edward Cullen (NOT Robert Pattinson...because he looks like a bum...unless he's Cedric)
We have to admit that we had our doubts about Twilight but we are both totally sold. And yes, you were slightly douche-y in New Moon, you slightly redeemed yourself in Eclipse and I hope Breaking Dawn is totally awesome. You may be 108 and cold as ice, but you're still smoking to us.

Mid-week Man Candy

It's a double doozie this week, so be prepared. Woo. This was supposed to be man candy last week, but I got side tracked...Michael Phelps is like a shiny object in a toy store, sorry, can't help myself. So after a little delay, here we go.





Here's to you Drew Macias (top) and Colt Morton (bottom), two fabulous players from the San Antonio Missions (aka the Padres minor league team). Drew is the second baseman (my personal pick) and Colt is the catcher (Jess's lovah). We entertained ourselves for hours cat calling our men. We hope they make it to the big leagues so we can root for them (cept Jess hates the Padres, oh well).

Here are a pic of Drew in action, I didn't get any of Colt...go figure.



ffiore957 (11:01:44 PM): did you know that sean kazmar got called up to the padres?
skitchkd (11:01:56 PM): i read that
ffiore957 (11:02:15 PM): where did you read that?
skitchkd (11:02:32 PM): samissions.com
skitchkd (11:02:33 PM): duh

Mid-week Man Candy

OK, so Jess and I discussed who we were going to put as man candy while I was in San Antonio...but I have to deviate because...well, I'm in love.



I mean I don't think any words are needed, but damn.

Oh yea and he's sorta good at swimming too.

(Sorry, Jess)

Mid-week Man Candy ... one day late

So I'm sick so cut me some slack. But here is the long awaited man candy. This isn't typical man candy but this is special for my BFF because she's had a rough week. (Which of course will end most awesomely because I am flying to San Antonio tomorrow!!) So this is just for Jess (we all know I don't share her feelings).



Here's to you, Joe Tereshinski (the third). Remember when you were UGA's starter for 1.5 games a few years ago? Remember when you started the Florida game the year DJ went down? Ok, well you may not have been the next coming of Joe Montana, but Jess sure loves you. So here's to you JT3. Wherever you are now.

Mid-Week Man Candy

Katy has given me free rein to pick Man Candy this week. I really should take this opportunity to pick someone she would really hate.



Hello, David Duchovny. I (along with not many other people) saw your movie this weekend, and it was pretty great. Not as good as the first X-Files movie, but that was one of my favorite movies ever so it's a bad comparison. You were also in "Twin Peaks," which makes you automatically cool. Oh, and you're really smart (did you know he graduated from Princeton and then got a master's from Yale?). So congratulations on being awesome, David Duchovny.

PS - This post makes me sound like a huge nerd. I am not ashamed.

NOTE FROM KATY: I don't hate David Duchovny so nice try. I do believe I actually said "Bravo" when I saw it was him. So there.
