Happy Hump Day: Joel McHale

Here we go readers – it’s the last hump day of 2010! I figured since it was such a momentous occasion, I should ask you all who you thought I should feature. I took to my Facebook fan page and put the question out there. Seems like you girls really dig funny because Mr. Joel McHale got the most votes! Joel has been the host of the ridiculously hilarious The Soup on E! since 2004 and stars as Jeff Winger on NBC’s Community, which really catapulted his celebrity. Some fun trivia? Joel and his brothers were born in Rome, as their father was a professor at a local American university and Joel played football for 2 years while in college (definitely can’t imagine that).

Joel always brings me good memories, mainly because it brings me back to the night before my wedding when my friend, Ang, and I had quite an adventure at a local Subway before heading back to the hotel to watch The Soup. I hadn’t laughed that hard in ages, and I definitely needed it after all the wedding planning stress.

So thanks for the eternal chuckles, Joel! This and more is what earned you the final hump of 2010!
Here to many more eligible hotties in the new year!

Can I get an amen?

Happy Hump Day: Michael Sheen

Michael Sheen has always been one of my favorite actors. He has portrayed many a famous face in movies like Frost/Nixon, The Queen and The Damned United and has intrigued vampire fans everywhere in both Underworld and Twilight series. Sheen was born in Wales and chose acting over a professional football career, and I’m pretty sure we are all happy for that decision. Sheen is now playing a David Bowie-esque character in Disney’s Tron: Legacy to rave reviews. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see it yet so I can’t give my opinion, but I can say that Sheen is one of the sweetest celebrities I have ever met. I had the pleasure at this year’s Comic Con and not only did I get to interchange kind words, but I got the best bear hug ever!

Enjoy this week’s hump day, readers!

Happy Hump Day: Guy Pearce

One of the first movies that ever blew my mind was Christopher Nolan’s Memento. I had never seen anything like it and it definitely revolutionized the way I viewed movies from that point onwards. And as if the script wasn’t all sorts of amazing on its own, in comes Guy Pearce.  Something won me over about the Australian actor. I don’t know if it was his  ruggish good looks, amazing acting skills, or the overall package. I’m actually surprised he was not in more films after his rise to popularity in the early 2000’s, but he definitely is not lacking in work. In 2009, Pearce returned to his first love, Australian theater. And although I am happy he is persuing his craft on the small stage, I think he is sorely missed in the good old US of A. Hopefully this picspam will temporarily help fill that void. Good day!

Happy Hump Day: Michael C. Hall

With a nerve-wracking season finale quickly approaching this Sunday, I found it appropriate to feature everyone’s favorite TV serial killer, Michael C. Hall. He continues to blow audience’s minds with his hauntingly raw performance on Showtime’s Dexter and was an inspiration to all when he battled and kicked the ass of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (mainly in private), which he has stated is now in remission. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael (so weird not to refer to him as Dexter) at this past year’s Comic Con and he was just as lovely as I imagined. I wish him and his beautiful wife, Jennifer Carpenter, nothing but all the happiness in the world! Enjoy the picspam and try not to chew all your fingernails off while watching this week’s Dexter finale!

Update: Just got an email detailing that Michael C. Hall will be visiting New York City’s 101.9 RXP tomorrow, 12/9, during The Rock Show at 8am. He will also be playing his favorite tunes on air Sunday, 12/12, at 7pm before the season finale! So make sure to tune in!

Happy Hump Day: Darren Criss

Many friends have pointed me in the direction of a Very Potter Musical, and although the few little segments I’ve seen have been all sorts of wonderful for this Potter geek, it’s his most current role as Blaine on Glee that really made my heart swell. He plays Kurt’s new crush from Dalton Academy (please let him not join their ranks, it can’t be!) and he has managed to make me love songs I usually cannot stand. Examples? Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream and this week’s Soul Sister by Train. He is absolutely wonderful! Is there anyway I can make him pocket-sized so I can tote him with me everywhere I go? No? Oh. Well, I guess this picspam will have to do!

Happy Hump Day: Chris Hemsworth

You may not know Chris Hemsworth’s name right now, but chances are you definitely will come next summer when Thor is released in theaters. Hemsworth will play the lead character, a powerful but arrogant warrior that is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth. He will be joined by Hollywood heavy-hitters Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins, which definitely has everyone listing it as one of the most anticipated movies of 2011. But, if you are good with faces, you may remember his small role in the beginning of Star Trek as Captain Kirk’s late father. He’s definitely come a long way from those Australian soaps and America is not complaining ;)

Happy Belated Hump Day: Hogwarts Edition

I know. It’s not hump day. Yesterday was hump day. But cut me some slack, I couldn’t dare post about some hot piece on the day of my wedding anniversary. It would just be wrong. Anyways, I’m a strong supporter of better late than never, and these guys were worth the wait. Literally. We’ve watched the Potter kids grow up as they’ve played the roles of some of our most beloved literary characters: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. And now, in only a matter of hours, theaters will be throwing open their doors to welcome the throngs of dedicated fans that have been waiting anxiously to lay eyes on the first half of the last chapter of the series. My one tip for tonight’s viewers? Bring Kleenex. Lots of it. Accio picspam!

Happy Hump Day: Justin Kirk

So I’m not really sure if I am in love with Justin Kirk, or the character he plays on Showtime’s Weeds: Andy Botwin. Either way, he’s absolutely adorable to watch on a weekly basis as the hilarious and goofy uncle in one of TV’s most dysfunctional (but lovable) families. He’s also best known for his role as Prior Walter in the screen adaptation of Angels in America, the very play Zachary Quinto is a part of currently in New York City! And thankfully he is not only sticking to Weeds, I’m sure a lot of you spotted him on Modern Family a couple of weeks ago and he is set to star in quite a slew of movies, such as Vamps, alongside Alicia Silverstone and Sigourney Weaver. Looks like Uncle Andy isn’t such a slacker after all! ;)

Lovable Friday

1. DIY Colored Mason Jars

It’s no secret: I love easy DIY projects! Although I don’t consider myself to be very crafty, I can do spray painting without any difficulties. Promise. And this simple DIY project consisting of a can of spray paint and a pack of mason jars really does it for me. Just think of these pretties adorning a table at an event or even as a centerpiece for a shower – they would be so perfect! And the best part is that they would take minimal time and effort, as well as be gentle on your wallet. I, for one, can’t wait to give these babies a test run. If you are also interested, you can pick up large packs of mason jars at Big Lots for under $15! Thank me later ;)

Happy Hump Day: Johnny Depp

When thinking who I should feature for Halloween week’s hump day, there was no one else that would fit the bill better than Johnny Depp. After all, he’s basically in all my favorite spooky movies: Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, the list goes on and on. And isn’t he just the most gorgeous man on the planet? And so humble! Did you guys hear the story where he visited a young girl at school dressed as Jack Sparrow after she wrote him a letter asking for his help to start a mutiny against school teachers? Who does that? He’s amazing. Enjoy the picspam and get your freak on (haha), ladies (& boys)!
