The AfterElton Hot 100: Nominations WantedAfter our sister site AfterEllen.com presented their Hot 100 list, a number of AfterElton.com readers wrote in to ask when AfterElton was going to do the same. It seems gay boys are tired of watching straight men get to objectify women in the pages of Maxim and Sports Illustrated without getting to take a crack at doing it to men as well. Turnabout is fair play, after all. I'm happy to say that our time has come and we're giving our readers a chance to be entirely superficial and vote for the guys who most turn their crank. The timing seems perfect with People Magazine having just published their Hottest Bachelors issue (no gay boys as far I could tell). Given how much of an influence gay men have had on the aesthetics of what makes a straight man hot -- sculpted abs, the smooth look, well-dressed -- it's about time we had a list entirely of our own making. (BTW, we love our lesbian and straight readers, but this list is for the gay boys, so we're going to ask you to sit this one out!) Here's how it will work: Compile a list your top 10 favorite, smokin' hot guys -- gay, straight, or bi. You don't need to rank them -- in fact, please don't number them, just list them (makes it easier to sort hundreds of votes). You can either submit them to editor@afterelton.com if you're not registered (which would only take a moment to do here) or you can list them in the comment section below if you are registered. We'll compile votes from both emails and the comments to come up with your list of the hottest 100 men. Voting will be open until July 3rd and we'll present the list as soon as possible thereafter. To get things started, I asked several AfterElton.com contributors to come up with their own lists. Craig Young's list:
Lyle Masaki's list: Rupert Everett Rupert Graves Ioan Gruffudd Daniel Craig David Boreanz Christopher Siebert Dan Savage Stephen McCauley Paul Rudd Patrick Wilson Michael Jensen's list:
Brent Hartinger's list: Let the voting commence! Submitted by on Wed, 2007-06-20 00:57. |

The Man-Diva's Hot Top 10
After some serious debate inside of my own head, here is my FINAL list ...
1.) Randy Orton - (WWE, Professional Wrestler) This dude has semi-nude pictures, taken of HIMSELF, online ... I'm a huge wrestling fan, and Randy Orton is the kind of guy that most people would think turns gay men onto wrestling. He's beautiful, chiseled (but more lean and tall than most stocky, overly muscular wrestlers). A former World Heavyweight Champion, Orton is more than just a pretty face. Perhaps he can show you why they call him, "The Legend Killer"? On-screen he once was paired up with the equally tall and beautiful Stacy Keibler from "Dancing With the Stars."
2.) T.R. Knight - (Grey's Anatomy) He's adorable ... especially in his interview with The Advocate. Low-key. Shy. Cute. Cuter. Cutest. The boy next door of Hollywood. So glad he's returning for the new season of Grey's ...
3.) Eric Mabius - (The L Word, Ugly Betty) He was awesome as the butt-baring hunk of a boyfriend of the sexually confused Jenny in The L Word; but he's truly amazing as the believable womanizing boss of Betty in Ugly Betty.
The others are individuals who are hot without explanation ... also, I'm too lazy and tired to continue ... lol.
4.) Chris Evans (The Fantastic Four, Not Another Teen Movie)
5.) Johnny Depp (If I need to name a movie he's in, you should be slapped!)
6.) Brad Pitt
7.) Shane West (A Walk to Remember, E.R.)
8.) Gale Harold (Queer as Folk)
9.) Taylor Handley (Hidden Palms, The O.C., Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning)
10.) Taye Diggs
My Top 10
Kevin Zegers (the other names are just filler)
Taye Diggs
Mario Lopez
Bobby Lashley
Jake Gyllenhaal
Adamo Ruggiero
Steven Strait
Diego Luna
Ryan Phillipe

Ok, here goes...
Zachary Quinto - Yeah, the whole "plays a serial killer on Heroes" isn't going to appeal to everyone. That just leaves more Eyebrows of Doom for me.
Eric Szmanda - Plays the hot nerd technician-cum-field agent in CSI.
Jason Behr - Tall, dark and handsome... with puppy dog eyes.
Jeremie Renier - Sweet face and plays gay at the drop of a hat. Has me at hello really.
Brandon Flowers - Moustache and all...
Jet Li - Cute and a martial arts expert? Perfect for a date in Central Park after nightfall.
Paul Rudd - Getting cuter as he gets older and always comes across as a genuinely nice guy.
Jesse Bradford - Is it the eyes? Is it the lips?
Milo Ventimiglia - Dipping back into the Heroes pool, but I first liked him as the family friendly "bad boy" in Gilmore Girls.
Jake Gyllenhaal - Would have been on my list even before Brokeback Mountain.
"They gave me a medal for killing a man, and a discharge for loving one."

"It takes a village (to make Village People)"
Somebody needs to add James Duval to their list. Somebody who hasn't already voted of course.
Somebody?
My top 10
So quite a few of my first choices don't make this list because too much time has passed (and the hotness has fizzled a bit), they've passed over already, or they are a cartoon/ fictitional character (Yes! I admit to lusting after a cartoon, OK?!)
So here they are folks:
Hugh Jackman
Chris Evans
Alexi Nemov
Ryan Reynolds
Gerard Butler
Clark Gregg (don't laugh! HE'S TOTALLY HOT!!)
Christian Bale
Ben Browder
Thomas Jane
Ray Dragon
lust for cartoon characters
top 10 = Jamie Dornan
