In his glory days, David Hasselhoff was an international sex symbol. I know… it never stops shocking us either.
Whether strutting his stuff in jeans on ‘Knight Rider,’ wearing the tightest leather pants on German singing shows, or rocking the red swim trunks on the beach in ‘Baywatch,’ boatloads of fans swooned at the sight of his manly assets. [gag]
Now comes news that The Hoff is capitalizing on his well-endowed reputation by taking on a “meaty role” in an episode of the upcoming ‘Sons of Anarchy‘ Season 4.
According to TVGuide, Hasselhoff will play the part of Dondo, a well-endowed former porn star who is now making major coin by producing sleazy girl-on-girl adult films.
It turns out that, back in the day, Dondo “was given a major career boost by Luanne (Dendrie Taylor) and gets involved in a little dirty work in her memory.” Hasselhoff’s episode will air in October, and he joins an impressive Season 4 guest cast roster that includes Danny Trejo, Rockmond Dunbar, LaMonica Garrett, Niko Nicotera and Ray McKinnon.
Since 2006 Hoff’s been acting as a TV talent show judge, first on ‘America’s Got Talent’ and then on its British counterpart. His most recent acting credits include a cameo in the movie ‘Hop,’ a reprisal of his role as Dr. William ‘Snapper’ Foster on CBS soap opera ‘The Young and the Restless,’ and a part in upcoming horror sequel ‘Piranha 3DD.’
Could this guest role on ‘Sons of Anarchy’ be the big acting comeback Hoff’s been waiting for? Playing a total sleazebag totally revitalized Neil Patrick Harris’s career after all.
‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 4 is due to premiere in September on FX.
George Clooney and longtime girlfriend Elisabetta Canalissplit up, but no one may have been as surprised as Canalis herself!
One of the model’s close friends, Chi magazine editor Alfonso Signorini, opened up about the couple’s relationship and breakup.
“It’s all over. It has come as a real surprise to me. They were getting on really well.”
Just last week, the editor spent the day with Canalis and things appeared fine. “She must have had about 60 text messages from George! She was so excited about meeting him as he had a few days off from shooting his film in London,” he recalled.
As for the split, he revealed: “From what I know it was him who dumped her and she stormed out of the villa. I’ve tried to get her on the telephone but it’s switched off.”
Any woman would be a fool, thinking they could tame him.
James Franco left L.A. immediately after the Oscars, tweeting photos from the airport and enjoying a Bloody Mary instead of attending his own after-party at The Supper Club.
While a few stars — Seth Rogen, Kevin Spacey and stars of the CW’s 90210 showed up — Franco, 32, was a no-show, a source confirms to UsMagazine.com.
The Supper Club bash, the insider adds, was a “bust.”
Franco seemed over it before it even began.
Gatecrasher noted, of the early exit: “We hear that he’s heading back East immediately afterwards to finish a paper on Byron that’s due for a class at Yale.”
James Franco really understands how complicated making a sex tape actually is.
Franco spoke in a frank discussion with other likely Oscar nomineeshosted by Newsweek, and when the discussion turned to on-screen love scenes, Franco gave a shout out to those who do it most regularly, and revealed his own attempt at the genre.
“I think if anybody who has made a home sex tape knows, what feels best doesn’t always look best.
I remember when I was 19 doing that, and then watching it back and thinking, oh, that looks horrible… You have a lot of respect for those actors in pornography, because they are really not just doing it, they’re really selling it.”
On Friday, George Clooney resolved to stay single, despite near-constant speculation about whether he’ll ever wed his Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.
Clooney, 49, appeared on CNN’s ‘Piers Morgan Tonight’ alongside his father, veteran journalist Nick Clooney. And according to Us, the Oscar winner’s dad said he “yearned for the moment” his famous son would tie the knot.
But Clooney made it clear: his married days are behind him. “I hate to blow your whole news story, but I was married, so I gave it a shot,” he said, referring to his 1989-’93 marriage to Talia Balsam, the actress who now playsNatalie Portman‘s mom in the new rom-com ‘No Strings Attached.’
On Morgan’s broadcast, Clooney said his failed stint as a spouse should have “proven how good I was at it.” (Balsam, who never apparently renounced marital bliss, is now the wife of ‘Mad Men’ star John Slattery.)
Canalis, for her part, has expressed profound contentment with the relationship. The 32-year-old beauty told ‘Vanity Fair’ last year, “I feel more embraced than ever before…Being so loved is overwhelming…George has given color back to my life.”
In addition to rejecting a future as anyone’s husband, Clooney also told Morgan he wasn’t cut out for politics. “Honestly, my job is as good as they get,” he said, “I think that I am best suited as an advocate for issues….And I look to people who are far smarter and far better at this than I am to lead.”
Clooney recently confirmed that while doing humanitarian work in Sudan this month, he contracted malaria. On Friday he joked, “I guess the mosquito in Juba looked at me and thought I was the bar.”
“Elisabetta had no idea he was going to say that,” a friend of the Italian beauty told Popeater. “She thought she was going to be the girl who would finally get George to settle down and put a ring on it. She was totally surprised.”
How could she be surprised, the ENTIRE world knows about Clooney’s vow of no marriage.
Rob Kardashian might be following the footsteps of Kim Kardashian by posing nude, that’s if he accepts the $45,000 deal that Playgirl have offered him. A rep for Playgirl confirmed the offer saying…
“While most people assumed we’d be interested in [Kourtney Kardashian's beau] Scott Disick, my interest actually lies in the adorable Rob Kardashian, Rob is a perfect example of the classic Playgirl model, and we’d be proud to have him join the ranks of other quasi celebs to strip for Playgirl. “I’d bring him to NYC to work with my trainer for a few weeks though, as he looks like he could use a few weeks prep before the shoot.”
Seeing as how the Kardashian family are willing to put their name to anything that brings them in money, I wouldn’t be too shocked if Rob accepts this offer. Oh and here are few photos to remind us of Kim Kardashian‘s spread in Playboy (yes these are the only reason I’m actually wasting my time on this).

It was all laughs between Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman at the Palm Springs International Film Festival this past weekend.
Gyllenhaal presented Portman with the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the festival, but had a few words to say about his newly engaged — and pregnant — ex-girlfriend before giving her the award.
“Natalie is the Audrey Hepburn of our generation,” the actor told the crowd. “She is elegant, graceful, has amazing eyebrows … is talented, really short, funny, smart, dedicated, incredibly kind.”
Gyllenhaal, who had everyone, including Portman’s fianceBenjamin Millepied, laughing along, continued to roast his close friend.
“She’s a vegan, which makes it really frustrating when you’re picking a place to eat,” he said, before adding, “She’s also recently announced that she’s going to be a mom, and her child will probably need therapy after seeing ‘Black Swan.’”
Gyllenhaal and Portman briefly dated in 2006. She recently announced her engagement and pregnancy with Millepied, her ‘Black Swan’ choreographer and dance partner.
The majority of our nude posts are about the women in Hollywood but here is one for those of you who are into the men – Adam Levine naked for the new issue of British Cosmopolitan.
Adam stripped down and only had a pair of hands covering his bits to help encourage men to check testicular and prostate cancer. I don’t know how this is to promote men to check for cancers but hey it’s a naked post so enjoy.

Buffalo Bills’ Steve Johnson obviously doesn’t understand how Twitter works because he accidentally put a photo up of his penis on TwitPic the other day.
Of course the photo is gone from TwitPic because he removed it as soon as he uploaded it but as we all know it only takes one person to be online at the time and right click and save. So here is the photo for you to see of the NFL player. He has yet to say anything about it.

People Magazine have released their 2010 Sexiest Men Alive list and the number 1 man for them this year is Ryan Reynolds. Obviously they forgot about me. Here is a preview of their list….
Ryan Reynolds
He’s Canadian (and proud of it!), he can make “a mean omelette” and his eight-pack abs have caused millions to swoon. But what makes PEOPLE’s 25th anniversary Sexiest Man honoree so very special? Perhaps his self-deprecating humor. “You just have to go with the flow,” Reynolds, 34, says of his new title. “This gives my family entrée into teasing me for the rest of my life.”
Jon Hamm
Tall, dark, handsome … and funny? Mad Men’s brooding leading man, 39, has shown a knack for comedy, from host of Saturday Night Live to Tina Fey’s recurring love interest on 30 Rock. “He can be so serious and so funny at the same time,” says Fey. “He’s just great at everything.”
Kellan Lutz
This former model knows how to work every camera angle, from showing off his otherworldly body in Twilight to heating up underwear sales as Calvin Klein’s spokesmodel. The secret to the 25-year-old’s sexy six-pack? “I cut back on my candy intake, swim a lot and try to drink as much water as I can,” says Lutz. “That’s the best way to cut up.”
Drake
He’s come a long way since Degrassi: The Next Generation. These days the former actor, 24, is best known for his chart-topping hits like “Find Your Love,” off his debut album Thank Me Later. And while the single artist has yet to find love, he knows what he likes, telling PEOPLE, “I find it sexy when women play instruments or knit.”
Matthew Morrison
Mr. Shue, is that you? Glee’s song-and-dance man showed what he’s really made of in a revealing Vogue photo shoot in June. So what does the former Broadway star, 32, consider to be his sexiest trait? “I have those muscle lines right over my hips from my dancing days,” Morrison told InStyle. “I call them my dancing lines.”
Jon Bon Jovi
He reigned as a big-haired heartthrob in the ’80s, but Jon Bon Jovi, 48, tells PEOPLE, “The cliché of the rock star was never me.” Instead, the singer, who’s been married for 21 years and is the father of four, counts his greatest achievements in his music and his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. Another point of pride? “I’ve never had Botox,” he says.
Joe Manganiello
A self-described “ugly duckling,” Manganiello, 34, has physically transformed into a hunky werewolf on True Blood thanks to his six-days-a-week, twice-daily workouts. But it’s not about vanity: “I’m playing a supernaturally strong character; I need to look that way,” Manganiello tells PEOPLE.
Robert Downey Jr.
“Robert has a way of making everyone around him feel very special and comfortable,” Michelle Monaghan, his costar in Due Date, raves about the 44-year-old. “Whenever I see him, I walk away smiling. Those beautiful brown eyes may have something to do with it.”
Jesse Williams
Before he had hearts pumping on Grey’s Anatomy, Williams, 30, taught high school English and African American studies in Philadelphia. But he’s not all brains, no brawn: “I like to be physical,” the actor, who stays in shape with soccer, basketball and flag football, tells PEOPLE.
Justin Timberlake
He’s proved he can bring sexy back to music, now Justin Timberlake is showing he can deliver the goods on the big screen as well. “I know what I want to be,” the Social Network star, 29, told Entertainment Weekly, “and that’s an artist.
Vin Diesel
Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel, 43, knows something about getting pulses racing. No wonder he blew away the competition in PEOPLE’s first-ever Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook campaign. The actor’s response to the honor? “I am blushing … for real … Grrr!”
Jake Gyllenhaal
It’s been a revealing year for the actor, who memorably showed off his bulked-up chest in Prince of Persia and strips down for Love and Other Drugs. “I think a true leading man has both strength and vulnerability,” says Gyllenhaal, 29.
Like I said, they obviously forgot about me but it’s fine they can get me next year and I definitely have a man crush on most of these guys.
GQ announced that Scarlett Johansson was their babe of the year for 2010, now they have released their top 4 men of the year and I’m quite surprised by their choices.
Jeff Bridges, 60. Icon of the Year. Won his first Oscar this year and went on to sit for the best photograph of his career.
Stephen Colbert, 46. Patriot of the Year. The still-hilarious Comedy Central host who led the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear along with Jon Stewart in October.
Drake, 24. Breakout of the Year. The Canadian rapper and former ‘Degrassi’ actor whose star blew up this year in a manner we can only describe as Bieberesque. Also, BFFs with Lil Wayne.
James Franco, 32. Leading Man of the Year. Despite a penchant for being weird, still does a mean James Dean impression and pulls off resoundingly terrific work on the silver screen.
I’m glad to see Drake on the list, he definitely had a great year. Who do you think deserves to be named on GQ’s men of the year?

Victoria Beckham and David Beckham have no problem keeping their romance hot.
The couple’s new commercial for their duel fragrance, Intimately Beckham Yours, features the pair sharing a passionate moment in an elevator before their lift ride comes to an end.
The footballer is then seen wiping red lipstick off his mouth and noticeably missing his bow tie as Victoria stares into the camera while wearing a revealing black jacket.
Stars needing a little PR jolt would be wise to follow Elisabetta Canalis‘ example: Flash a fake engagement ring. And wait.
George Clooney‘s other half set off a firestorm at a dinner in Italy when she held up her left hand and flaunted something resembling a giant, glittery rock.
TMZ quickly posted photos — couching them by saying the bauble only “looked like” a will-you-marry-me diamond.
Never mind. It was enough, and the press was off and running. Soon, headlines blaring “George Clooney Off the Market?” were everywhere. The Hollywood powerhouse’s rep was quick to shoot down the buzz, saying only that the bling on the Italian model’s finger was “a napkin ring” she was playing around with at the table. Yes. Bizarre. Read on for a history of not-quite-engagements.
Those in the thick of the celebrity-gossip fray muse that it was all done for publicity. After all, Canalis, 31, has been a guest star this summer on TNT’s ‘Leverage’ and has a new Italian comedy coming out this fall, ‘I Will Marry at Christmas.’ Clooney’s next film, ‘The American,’ is due in theaters in September.
“Clearly people are starting to use these faked rumors simply to keep [themselves] in the news and in everybody’s faces,” said Syracuse University pop culture guru Bob Thompson.
It’s not the first time the 49-year-old movie star and his girlfriend have been at the heart of engagement rumors — and the other kind, the ones about breaking up. In the spring, the tabloids were atwitter with news that the pair, who have been dating since August 2009, had split. The couple later quashed those rumblings, with Clooney joking wryly to reporters, “Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.”
The famously stubborn bachelor, who was married eons ago, has said he would never take the plunge again because he’s afraid he’d “still make a lousy husband.” But a girl can dream, can’t she? Even if it’s with a silly old napkin ring?
Mind you, Clooney and Canalis are not the first Hollywood couple to generate a media blitz with bling buzz.
In July, Bret Michaels’ sometimes-girlfriend was seen wearing a proposal-style piece of jewelry. Michaels issued a statement denying they were about to walk down the aisle. “We’re not engaged. It’s a work in progress. What happened is she has a beautiful promise ring. A promise ring, a friendship ring with benefits.” Come again?
Leonardo DiCaprio’s girl, Bar Rafaeli, explained the engagement ring she wore on her left hand by saying her friend makes them, she likes to try them on and “they won’t fit any other finger except this one.” Talk about a quote that will leave you speechless. So far, her movie star boyfriend still hasn’t popped the question.
Last summer, Tyra Banks was spotted sporting something sparkly on her ring finger, fueling a fury about an impending marriage to boyfriend John Utendahl. Her people told the gossip mill: “Tyra is not engaged. It’s her high school ring, and she wears it almost every day.” The pair still have yet to wed.
Sometimes stars seen wearing diamonds deny they’re engaged and then get hitched in a secret wedding a few months later. (Think Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr.) Why do they do it? To throw off the press? To get publicity, then throw off the press? We can only speculate…
And there are those media haters, blast them, who accuse celebrity journalists of being desperate for a story, star-obsessed and quick to publish whatever gossip lands in their inboxes, true or false. To that, I say guilty, sort of guilty and not guilty. In that order.
Either way, we may be seeing Clooney and Canalis tying the knot in a hush-hush ceremony a couple months from now. Or we may keep reading the same rumors over and over again. But maybe, just maybe, hearing that Clooney is casting off his long-held bachelorhood will make us buy tickets to ‘The American.’
Eminem has teamed up with Rihanna, Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan in the incredible new video for Eminem’s song “Love the Way You Lie“.
The video does a great job of highlighting the song’s theme about an abusive relationship, and I think it’s some of the best acting Megan Fox has ever done. Check it out below!
The cast members of “The Real Housewives Of DC” appeared on “The View” yesterday to promote the upcoming show, but the drama that went down was far better than I’m sure the show will ever be.
Michaele Salahi was babbling on about who insulted who on the show, when Whoopi Goldberg emerged from the back area and touched her. Whoopi asked her to stay on topic, saying, “Can we go back to the White House, please?” She promptly left the stage, but most of the drama happened back there after the show.
Apparently Michaele had accused Whoopi of hitting her upon approaching her when the show was being taped. This set Whoopi off, prompting her to vehemently deny the kerfuffle. View the tape, below:
According to Lisa Bloom, the Salahi’s lawyer, Goldberg grabbed Salahi’s arm and said, “Move on, move on! Get to the White House!”
…Then, after the show finished taping, Goldberg, according to the Salahis’ lawyer, Lisa Bloom, burst into a room Michaele was sitting in with Tareq and screamed: “I didn’t f*cking hit you! Did you say I f*cking hit you?”
According to Michaele’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, she was defamed on the show by being referred to as the White House party crashers, when they were told not to mention that. They’re still claiming that they were invited, even though that’s unlikely.
Lisa Bloom said, “I think they treated her horribly. I think they defamed her. I was really shocked by the way she was treated. It’s one thing to ask tough questions, it’s another to use defamatory language when you’ve been warned not to.”
What do you think? Are they just famewhores seeking more publicity?
