Beefcake Breaks Out Everywhere!
Still, famous U.S. athletes have been beefcake material in ads dating
back to the NFL's Joe Namath in the early 70s followed by baseball's Jim Palmer
and those underwear ads of his that look pretty tame compared to what we're getting
from Beckham. But that could change soon as NFL quarterback Tom Brady, a big
favorite among gay fans for his handsome looks and terrific body, is said to be
mulling over whether to do an ad for Calvin Klein Underwear. As far as actors, TV Guide's new issue also touts Lipstick Jungle hottie Robert Buckley who was shirtless in at least one scene of virtually every episode of the show's first season this spring. He tells the magazine it took some getting used to but he is there now: "After a season of doing the show where I was perpetually half-naked, you get comfortable, you get comfortable with your body pretty quickly."
Robert Buckley Shots of a shirtless Buckley filming scenes of the upcoming Lifetime movie Flirting with 40 were an internet fave and if he were to grab his surf board and hit Malibu, no doubt he could become as popular a subject as McConaughey.
"The summer issues are always fun because you'll get a good dose
of guys at the beach - shirtless," said People's Jordan. "In general, Matthew McConaughey is one of
our readers' faves. Obviously, anything that shows him wearing as little as
possible is something our readers want to see." Greg Hernandez writes the Out in Hollywood blog Submitted by on Wed, 2008-06-25 22:02. |

A'dejah! DAMN MARIO LOPEZ,
A'dejah! DAMN MARIO LOPEZ, DAVID BECKHAM, AND MATTHEW MCCONAUHEY ARE DAMN GORGEOUS.I LOVE THEIR WORK AND I AM ESPECIALLY A HUGE MARIO FAN.
Matthew is a DUD!
I have yet to understand just what the appeal is for Matthew McConaughey? He can't act worth a crap and most of the films he is in have been box office duds. Whatever film he is in, he is STILL Matthew McConauhey. Same voice, same dead pan delivery of his lines, and same facial expressions. His body ain't all that either. There are far better actors hotter than he ever hopes to be. He certainly couldn't or shouldn't be called gorgeous!
He obviously is a little short on brain cells since he spends most of his time in a trailer on the beach and acts like the proverbial beach bum.
Actually, Matthew is...
...one of Hollywood's most bankable stars: he doesn't do well in drama (both Two for the Money and We Are Marshall flopped), but put him in action/comedy/romance opposite an appealing leading lady and he's very successful (Sahara wasn't a smash, but it still made a profit; How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch and Fool's Gold were all sizable hits).
I like Matthew; I recognize that he's not the greatest actor--his range is, yes, rather limited--but perhaps because I'm a Southern boy myself, his Southern charisma totally makes me melt. And the fact that he likes to parade around shirtless is a plus.

Give me Josh Lucas any day
Matt is okay
Beefcake all around!
Beefcake is all around - and don't think we (or I at least) don't appreciate it!
I remember, oh, back in the 80's and then some of the 90's where there were all these really sexualized pictures of women everywhere, but very little of the guys. Or they'd be all dressed up while the girls were in bikinis. I remember, even before I realized I was gay, that it just didn't seem very fair. I am VERY happy to see this change.
Beefcake is great! Dish me up another serving please!
I was hoping for this article to say something new as .......
Too bad that Mario Lopez was unavailable as he would be a natural given the recreation of these iconic poses. I have the People issue in front of me and I give him an A for effort, but to me he does not due justice to the originals. As Simon from AI or Nigel from SYTYCD might say - Mario's not in character in any of the pictures, so it seems like Mario in drag. The most proficient recreation is the Burt Reynolds pose, but Mario's face continues to express this perma clean-cut persona that takes away from the exercise.
More beefcake! Hint/Request: Hairy chests make me quite happy. I am just sayin' Words not needed for me unless there is something new to add as they get in the way of my drooling.

I second Guillermo's emotion
Burt Reynolds over Mario?
Now there's an image I'd like to see.
And between Matthew mcConnaughy and Josh Luces...is where I'd like to be right now. :)
Greg did include Ben Cohen for me & the People issue also .....
But now the sexy hairy sexy guys that People included in their "Hot Bachelors 2008 - Sexy and Single." I love the title as it gets to the point. Here are my favorites from the beefcake factory:
Gerard Butler, Adam Levine, a SHAVEN David (is he going by "Dave" now?) Annable, Brody Jenner (such a male Paris Hilton, but if he never spoke we could arrange something...). I have to stop now as I had not seen the full issue and I am officially gnarled out as the list includes "future shaggy sweeties" like Pax Jolie, Ryder Robinson, and even the child of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrene and Celine Dion. That'st just wrong ;-)
I was feeling a little perverted about my crush on the actor who plays the oldest son on Weeds (who may already be in his 20s), but this combination of current bachelors (some who are barely teenagers) with kids may be taking the beef cake too far. Even the kids from Gossip Girl are vealcake are best. Although I smell a cover-up as they are the only bachelors without age disclosures. Oversight, conspirary, or maybe one of them is 40.

"Vealcake"?! That's one I
I should have staked a claim to "vealcake" 10 years ago
as it just came to me as someone was saying that someone who was probably the male Miley Cirus of his time who so hot and beefy, and the only appropriate term to describe this was "vealcake" as I remember that it was not only a young actor, but the actor looked like he was 8. Since then I've heard the term used by a few comedians but they've given me no love.
A current almost equivalent would be the runner-up from American Idol IF he posing in a Speedo. Down boys...But heck People had Pax Jolie- (I assume "Pitt" by now) on the magazine who I may have to rattle my minuscule brain to come up with something younger than veal. No matter what it is it will be gross. Thank God that with the exception of the kid from Weeds, my taste generally runs towards pretty old/yet firm traditional beefcake.

I'm disturbed the sudden
Beefing up to break out? Following snicks' take....
I hate spoilers with a passion, so I hope this does not represent one for anyone. Maybe some of this may also be a attempt to literally beef up his character as he'll apparently be sharing the screen/sheets with a NEW character (so erase any images of Elizabeth Perkins) who might be a year or 15 older than him.
I have not watched the show since last year's finale so I have to check it out for myself. This picture seems to support your assessment. He did turn 21 last month.

So much beef...
I Would Have Been Far
more excited if some of these guys were openly gay or bisexual. A bunch of rich good-looking straight guys trying to entice money from gay men is hard to get excited about.
Maybe it does show that gays are becoming more accepted, I don't know, but to be honest marketers discovered long ago that gay men and their money is soon parted. The only thing that has changed recently is the comfort level of famous North American "beefcakes" in trying to sell stuff to gay men. European guys have been doing it shamelessly (and successfully) for years.

Robert Buckley
I first saw Robert Buckley on Fashion House (Yea, I watched it...) and thought he was gorgeous on that. Now, as Kim Raver's boy-toy on Lipstick Jungle, I'm loving him even more. I'm so happy that his career didn't die with that telenovela. Let's hope Nico continues to have an affair so we can see more of him next season on the show!!
Are my eyes deceiving me?
Or does Mario have no pubes? Ew.
This hair phobia amongst the beefcake is getting WAY out of control. First, chest hair disappeared. Then, the treasure trails vanished. And now no pubes? I'm sorry, but that's not very appetizing beefcake. I prefer a little garnish with my dish. Presentation is very important!
