Hot Men Alert: David Beckham

Just in case you were thinking "Wow, Lauren's been so busy she hasn't posted anything about hot men for ages! I miss those hot men posts," here's a little something for you. It's tempered by the fact that it's not solely a Beckham video - and I don't really dig his Hitler hair - but he still looks awfully nice. And, again, stupid photoshoot greasers just rubbing it in my face that their job is to oil up hot bods while mine is to pour over the incomplete paperwork of doofi (that's the plural of doofus). Pleh.

Hot Men Happy Friday!!!

A little behind-the-scenes action on David Beckham's newest spot for the Motorola Aura. YUMMY. Me likes. (Me also wonders who gets to grease up Beckham for a living? I never get the oiler jobs!! It would be my luck to get hired the same week Beckham pledged never again to go shirtless... and someone like Dennis Rodman is hired to take his place. Just like when I fought to get the water polo team photos for my yearbook assignment senior year - only to find out Aaron Severson had opted off the team. I had to spend my time taking photos of Scott Schroeder in a Speedo. It was dreadful!!) Anyway, enjoy!!

Hot Men Alert: David Beckham

Hi-ohhhhhhh!!! David's newest Armani underwear ads have been released and yowza!! Looks like I have some new photos for my screen saver at home!!!!

Random Round-Up 08

You may have noticed a scarcity of posts thus far this week... I have actually been pretty darn busy at work. Again I say - weird!! If my sister ever gets off her now-on-summer-vacation (BOO!!!) butt and sends me some Father's Day photos, I'll be able to post something on that. Until then, I'm sort of blogging on the fly. Today's blurbs are:

1.) Slate has a new article out on questioning the veracity of United Artists' side-by-side photo comparison of Tom Cruise and Claus von Blahblahblah (in promotion of the oft pushed back Valkyrie). You can pretty much gather what you need to know from the following sets of pictures without actually reading the article.

First, the side-by-side issued by United Artists back in July '07

Now we see an AP file photo of Claus, the UA photo of Claus and the promo still of Cruise.

And finally, one of the designers at Slate overlaid the AP Claus photo over the UA Claus photo and compared that image to Cruise.

Soooo... basically United Artists is trying to drum up interest in a movie plagued by bad buzz by shaving off Claus' chin and plumping up his nose to make him look more like Tom Cruise. Excellent plan! (Except that A Beautiful Mind won a buttload of Oscars and Russell Crowe didn't look anything like John Nash... but whatever!)

2.) I have refrained from posting anything about Beckham's new Armani underwear ads (though those bad boys went right into my screen saver at home - yum!). You're welcome. However, if you wish to avoid all things Beckham, you might want to roll past his new Sharpie commercial:
