Afternoon Meme: SyFy's Hunky "Warehouse 13," Nick Adams Works Out, and can Scarlett Manage the EGOT?

Plus Bethenny's assistant isn't gay, but his hair is, streaming the Chemical Brothers, and is hunky Eddie Redmayne heading to HBO?

Isaiah Mustafa, famous for his Old Spice commercial where he encourages you to compare your man to him and find him lacking, has signed a talent deal with NBC while they figure out what to do with him. He already appeared on Oprah and was given a movie role with Tyler Perry.

MTV is auditioning TJs. Evidently that's a Twitter Jockey, and is what they replaced the VJs of my youth with. They could just promote me. Except I tweet in full words and not TXT abbreviations.

Pink Satan is in some hot water after tweeting what he claimed was an upskirt photo of 17-year-old Miley Cyrus.  The picture has been removed from his Twitter feed, but once his two million followers saw it, it’s out there.

I’ve always felt a little cheated by Warehouse 13 on SyFy. Their first episode featured star Eddie McClintock  running around in his underwear, but since then, the beefcake has been seriously lacking. But now that hunky Sean Maher, Eureka’s adorkable Neil Graystone, and sexy Faran Tahir from Star Trek are guest starring, I may have to set the DVR.

The folks over at NewNowNext have gotten playful for summer. I love this post about the 10 Hottest World Cup Players and the True Blood Characters They Most Resemble. It’s brilliant, and they even do the female characters. One major issue – Joe Manganiello has nothing in common with Cristiano Renaldo. Joe is so much hotter than shiny Renaldo.

Katy Perry is backtracking a bit on her “blasphemous” tweet about Lady Gaga. She was being more general it seems, and including Madonna from four years ago in her generalization. Not. Buying. It.

In order to not lose rights to the book, production began Saturday on a film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. It will star and be directed by Paul Johansson from One Tree Hill. The Tea Party folks should eat this up.

The late Senator Ted Kennedy’s FBI file has been released. If you need some summer reading, it clocks in around 4,000 pages.

Since Scarlett Johansson won her Tony last night, speculation has begun on how long it takes her to win the coveted EGOT designation. I’d completely forgotten she had two pop albums, and with the right producer could probably manage the Grammy.

I haven’t watched last night’s True Blood yet because I was tweeting the Tony Awards, so keep your spoilers over there. But news from actress Mariana Klaveno (Lorena) is that someone in every episode screams “You killed Lorena. You bastards!” Mr. Ball, the lawyers for South Park are on line 2.

Kylie Minogue tells the Times everything, from her cancer bout, to Botox, to her music. It’s one heck of a comprehensive interview.

Also in music, NPR will let you stream the latest Chemical Brothers album before it releases. It brings back memories of a much wilder time in my life.

Here are 10 Things That Terrify Right Wingers. Mostly, it comes down to getting old, like their section on marriage equality.  If voters under 30 made the laws, same-sex marriage would be legal in 38 states. If only folks over 65 made the laws, it would be illegal everywhere.

The Daily Mail has pictures of Guy Ritchie sending his 28-year-old model girlfriend on her walk of shame while wearing his grandfather’s pajamas.

Eddie Redmayne, who took my breath away last night in Red at the Tony Awards, is one of five actors in talks to star in Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow’s HBO pilot Miraculous Year.

Jimmy Dean, sausage king and country music star passed away yesterday at 81-years-old. Our tasty, tasty condolences to his family.

The U.S. has announced mineral reserves in Afghanistan topping $1 trillion. The biggest shock is a huge amount of lithium, critical to batteries for electric vehicles, just like oil from Iraq is critical to traditional vehicles.

Speaking of strange politics, The Onion AV club takes a look at one of my favorite guilty pleasures, Starship Troopers. Trash, or prescient filmmaking foretelling the future?

Today in unfortunate front page layouts.

A better layout was from the New York Post on Friday, featuring dangerous Cagelle Nick Adams and his workout tips. Please excuse me while I go do four million situps.

Incredibly, the online version of the story went with a photo of Linda Lavin.

Watch me try and dance a fine line with these pictures of Republican Rep. Aaron Schock. Right when he was elected, TMZ caught Aaron and his abs poolside. Then Friday, he was caught wearing this colorful outfit. And all the gay blogs went wild. First, we're not helping ourselves with speculation based on what really is just a highly questionable fashion choice. Second, it is a highly questionable fashion choice. Third, fashion is a stereotype. Fourth, Schock hasn't really been anti-gay enough to my knowledge to be a closet case.

Is it the year of the belt?

I was sent this clip from some Housewife of some city who got her own show of some kind about getting married. In it, the straight assistant gets accused of being gay by the housewife's gay best friend or something. He's not offended, so he says, but since the hair is making him seem gay, he sticks his head under the faucet. Nope, not offended at all.

I missed this clip on my local news, which is where CNN found it. It's like Blinky from The Simpsons has started a genetics lab to breed a race of super cats who can see in two directions in order to better enslave the human race.

Lea Michele used the Tony Awards to audition for the Funny Girl revival that's being put together. Maybe Rachel will graduate from high school early?
