A close inspection of some recent Kellan Lutz photos reveals the outline of Li'l Kellan. Now we just need to see his new moon.

In Touch (July 30, 2012) goes to great length to present sexy men of "all ages" (true if men aged 18, 19 or above 59 don't count). Second half after the jump...

Above, In Touch (July 30, 2012) shows us that Colin Farrell is back in fighting shape. Below, Star (July 30, 2012) likes not only Colin but Hugh Jackman and Derek Hough, too. And nobody has a shirt on in this post so far:

More after the jump...

BOY CULTURE RATING: ***1/2 out of ****

Magic Mike is...surprisingly good. It is what mainstream mall movies would all be like if directed by smart people who respect the medium even as they turn in products that need to entertain and make money but don't need to suck.

And there's cock within the first five minutes.

Torn about seeing it? Go.

And don't ask whose cock—that's like [insert McConaughey twang] askin' what's for dinner when you know dang well you're gonna eat it either way.

Via Sticky (Work Unfriendly): He appears in Twilight but here exposes the crack of dawn.

Above from Us (January 9, 2012), Penn Badgley may look like an extra from the "Sexy and I Know It" video (would love to see him mimicking its signature dance move) but he's still hot to me, always. Even with that hair. Below, that's adorable Matt Bomer from TV Guide giving his most puppy-doggish look:

Two shirtless stars after the jump...

The latest Glamoholic online mag has sexy shoots with Alex Meraz, Beau Mirchoff, Gustavo Tamez and Josh Strickland...to name a few. Check it out here.

Prove it!

As of midnight last night, it was exactly six years since my first post. It's been a tough thing to keep up with a dayjob and outside activities, and just when I think I might walk away, a valuable connection or interesting opportunity or a kind word comes my way. Thank you all for reading me.

Of whom are you more jealous?

Here are my favorite 100+ posts out of nearly 11,000. Please take some time to read (or re-read!) a couple and tweet or Facebook any you like.

xoxo Matt

Finally, hi-res shots of Kellan Lutz for Men's Fitness (November 2011). So much for easing off of the shirtless shoots...

Twilight Saga and Immortals stud Kellan Lutz gives an animated and earnest interview to The Advocate, graciously thanking a check-out lady and Michael Patrick King for discovering him. In the piece, he has this to say about his homo boosters:

"Oh, they’re the best. I love them. When I meet gay fans out and about, they’re so great to talk to — and I’m big on hugging, because I’m from the Midwest. They’re just so energetic and loving. I’m proud to have those fans, and their support means a lot to me...Growing up, I could never tell who was gay. Even in high school, I had friends that I didn’t know were gay until years later. I’d find out on Facebook or something and be like, 'Oh, that explains some things,' or 'Wow, no wonder they were so cool.' I remember going to a buddy’s house right when I came to L.A. He was showing me his place, and I asked, 'Where do you sleep?' He’s like, “Here, in this bed.” He had a roommate, so I was like, “Where does your roommate sleep?” He said, 'He sleeps here too.' I was like, 'Oh, OK.' I’ve slept in the same bed as my brothers, and I’ve crashed on a friend’s bed, so it did not even cross my mind that they were gay. He called me up after I left his house and said, 'Kellan, you handled that so well. I haven’t told many people, so thanks for being such a good person.' Suddenly, all this stuff started clicking, and everything made sense: Some guys I thought were just friends aren’t just friends! That’s the day my gaydar finally kicked in."

Now for the bad news—he's already tiring, although he's still somewhat tolerant, of all the shirtlessness demanded of someone in his position:

"I love a topless run by the beach, and it does suck when paparazzi is there. It’s like, “Fuck, do I keep my shirt on because I don’t want to be shirtless in another magazine?” I don’t want to be known as the guy who always takes his shirt off...If me taking my shirt off can get the audience in there, then sure, I don’t mind doing that. But it’s tough, because I don’t just want to be beefcake...[E]every photographer wants to get the topless shot. We’ve really had to be choosy and not do that for every magazine. I’ve actually been trying to keep my clothes on more."

After the jump, TONS more reasons why Kellan should keep on keepin' his shirt off...
