AfterElton's Hot 100

AfterElton's Hot 100 has finally been revealed! I've been anticipating this ever since I submitted my own choices for this year's list and now that I've seen the full list, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. A lot of my favorite guys made the list this year, far too many to mention all of them here, in fact. But I will call out a few that I was particularly happy about.

First of all, of course, is Adam Lambert. I think out of everyone I voted for, I was most interested to see if/where he'd place on the list. As it turned out, he did very well, coming in at number 16! An excellent showing for a guy who not very many people had even heard of just a few months ago. Cutie Kris Allen was the only other American Idol contestant to make the list, at number 98.

Another guy I was interested in was Van Hansis. Last year, he was number 7 on the list, but this year he fell to number 20! I blame the As the World Turns writers for this, mostly because I think they're responsible for all the world's ills. Still, no other American soap star made it any higher on the list. In fact, the only other American soap star on the list at all was Van's costar Jake Silbermann, who came in at number 22.

The German soaps stars, hottie Thore Scholermann and his adorable costar Jo Weil from Verboten Liebe, did better than their American counterparts, coming in at numbers 19 and 17 respectively.

Back in December, I made a list of my own, highlighting my picks for Top Five Out Hotties. I must have good taste, because all five made the AfterElton list: My pick for number five, Randy Harrison, came in at 33; My number four, Chad Allen, came in at 25; Luke MacFarlane, my number 3, came in at... number 3! Cheyenne Jackson, my number 2, was at 7; and my number one pick, Neil Patrick Harris, knocked Jake Gyllenhaal out of his two year reign at the top and came in at number one in this year's AfterElton Hot 100!

Check out the whole list, if for no other reason than to see 100 hot pictures of some very good looking men!

Obviously there are a lot of hot guys who were left off this year, but the most glaring absence for me is Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl. I truly think he's one of the hottest guys out there, especially with his British accent. His costar and roommate Chace Crawford made the list, but there apparently just wasn't enough love for Ed, even though he practically snogged a guy court side at a basketball game this year. What more does the man have to do?! Maybe a sex tape would help.

I'll be back later tonight for a look at today's Nuke scenes on As the World Turns.

Top Five Out Hotties

I'm in a light mood tonight, so I thought I'd do something fun. After toying with a couple of different ideas, I settled on something that's sure to be a joy for the whole family! Behold, my list of the top five hottest out gay celebrities!


Number Five:
Randy Harrison. I'll always have a place in my heart for Queer as Folk's blond twink Justin Taylor, and for Randy, the openly gay actor who played him. Of course, if his onscreen love interest Gale Harold was gay, he'd be number one on this list! One of my all time favorite Queer as Folk moments was in the first season when Justin's mom takes him to a therapist after she figures out he's gay. Justin's response when asked by the shrink if he had anything to say: "I like dick." It goes on from there, but you get the idea. Randy does mostly theatre now, but hopefully he'll do something onscreen again soon.


Number Four:

Chad Allen. Chad most recently starred on General Hospital: Night Shift as one half of its gay love story. He also has made several film versions of the Donald Strachey mysteries about a gay P.I. He has been out for over a decade now and is quite a hottie. (Picture borrowed from Superherofan)

Number Three:
Luke MacFarlane. Luke, who came out earlier this year, plays Scotty, my favorite male character on Brothers & Sisters. Luke makes Scotty's scenes one of the only reasons to enjoy Brothers & Sisters this season. I find him to be both incredibly sexy and adorable all at once.



Number Two: Cheyenne Jackson. This guy is just breathtakingly hot. He's probably one of the top ten reasons I wish I lived in NYC, so that I could see him live on Broadway. He's also been completely open about his sexuality from the beginning of his career, which I think is incredible.


And finally, the Number One Hottest out gay celebrity:Neil Patrick Harris. With Neil, it's more than just his good looks and hot body that makes me love him. It's his whole personality. He's the total package: funny, intelligent, sexy. His partner, David Burtka, is one very lucky man! (Picture borrowed from Superherofan)

Maybe sometime soon I'll do a list of the top five male celebrities I just wish were openly gay!
