Simon Cowell on debt

Panty creamer Simon Cowell, who holds some unknown power over middle-aged women {they love him, want to marry him & have his babies} turns 50 on October 7. I would have saved this post until then, but it's likely I would have forgotten within the week. I'm slightly brain damaged.

Anyways, as the 'American Idol' judge celebrates this life milestone, he has penned an introspective letter to his younger self published in the UK Daily Mail.

For those who don't know, Simon grew up with modest means, then made major bank in the 80s. True to the excess of the decade, he spent and lost it all. He actually had to move back in with his parents in the early 90s. He rebuilt himself and scored a hit with 'X Factor' in the UK, but even then he had to beat down every door in Hollywood to create the US version, which we all know as the ratings juggernaut American Idol. After all is said and done, he offers his younger self {and all of us, currently} straightforward advice on money matters:

"What would you tell your younger self about all this?" Simon writes. "It sounds a bit boring but it is very important: only buy what you can afford. Simple as that. Carrying a debt is a much bigger burden than having nothing."

One final thought on Kirk Cameron

In my rant by numbers on Kirk Cameron, I neglected to mention a final thought.

It's a very important one, so I'm going to do that now.

{-p.s. this is my "fuck you" face

1-3) Everything I said before, summary: Fuck Kirk Cameron and his idiot attack on Darwin

AND

4) Stop making religious people look bad, Kirk Cameron! I said it was just fine that you're a born-again. Whatever. I understand that people who feel inspired by a greater message have a desire to spread the word. Hello, I run a damn lifestyle blog aimed at empowering myself and others who may gleam something from my generally grammatically incorrect ramblings. Everybody should have the ability to make their voice heard, and there is a proper place to advocate your beliefs. Also, attacking a dead guy to make yourself look better is weak and lame. Lastly, wacko religious zealots propagate an extreme agenda that makes the entire Christian community, as a whole, look like crazy bible-thumping assholes. This is not so.

I grew up in the church. I mean literally, my mom was the church secretary. My childhood was spent in the community of worship and connected me with a group of individuals who inspire me to this day. I am very much out and welcome at my old church, same as I ever was. When shitheads like Kirk Cameron spout a campaign of misinformation and slander, it taints the general perception of the church, and that rightly pisses me off.

Therefore I ask you, people of faith, stand up with me and show the world that not everybody who believes in a higher power is an uneducated quack.

Thank you & have a lovely weekend!

Willy Slapped: Happy Birthday Will Smith

Will Smith is like a fine wine. He just gets BETTER with age!

Smith has said in the past that he runs five miles a day six days a week, and if you do that "your body will look like whatever you want it to look like."

To get in shape for I Am Legend, Men's Health says each of his 5-day-a-week lifting sessions focused on one or two body parts. He ran at least 5 miles 6 days a week, and he boxed twice a week.

In 3 months, Smith's bench press increased by 75 pounds, to 385--35 pounds more than he benched during Ali. A high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet maximized muscle repair. With his metabolic rate cranked up from the extra muscle, he slowly reduced his food intake to burn fat, cutting--but not eliminating--carbs. You need carbs to keep your brain sharp and fuel your workout routines.

To boost the amount you can bench-press, follow Smith's pyramid routine. He did either flat or incline bench presses once a week. Warm up with three sets of 10 repetitions, increasing the weight with each set, but staying below 70 percent of your one-rep max. (Smith did 135, 185, and 225.) Then do up to six sets of one repetition, starting with a weight that's at least 80 percent of your one-rep max. Progress by small--5 percent or less--increments. (Smith did 315, 335, 355, 365, 375, and 385.) Then reverse this path until you're back to the weight you used for your first one-rep set. To thoroughly exhaust the pectorals, Smith would finish by bench-pressing 315 pounds for two sets of five reps, then finally lifting 135 until failure.

The Fresh one turns 41 today.

HNT: Stayations suck & Kirk Cameron pisses me off

Ok so yah, I haven't updated in like 2 days or whatever. I was on staycation. That's a vacation where you don't go anywhere, and in my case don't really do much of anything either. Basically it's like a weekend that's still not long enough and you just have to go back to work anyways. Pretty much sucked. I guess it was kind of relaxing or whatever, just not quite what it's all cracked up to be.

When just hanging around the house, suddenly I start to think I should be cleaning the bathroom or any myriad of duties around my living space. Not that I do any of them, except for half-ass scrubbing my shower, I'm just saying when you're actually on a trip somewhere those thoughts don't even enter your mind. You don't spray foaming bubbles on a hotel shower door. That's not a vacation.

I slept in quite a bit, to the point my body was a little sore. Too much of a good thing! Then Kirk Cameron pissed me off.

First of all let me just say, I hated his show and always thought he was a sucky actor. Then he went off and became a born-again Christian, which is fine. He had some shitty Christian movie that made a bunch of money recently, which is also fine. There's a ton of worthless trash that I subscribe to and enjoy, so to each their own; spiritually and theatrically.

Then the bitch had to do and announce his campaign to discredit Darwin. My thoughts, in order:
1) Go read Darwin. Pick up a fucking book and learn the material before going ape shit about how you think it's anti-this-or-that. Stop making a judgment on something you're too stupid to understand, because I can absolutely guarantee this ass hat hasn't even read the theory of evolution cover to cover. Darwin presents his findings in a manner that is completely compatible with God or whatever other universal power you may so choose to believe in. He never suggests there is no God or that nature is without a greater power behind it.
2) The world we live in is dumb enough, don't spread misinformation and make shit up that further dumifies people. People is stupid already.
3) Fuck you, Kirk Camerson

/end rant


Sometimes I forget that I don't have to be nicey-nice here and always upbeat and cheerleader like {wait, am I ever like that?} -- anyways, writing has always helped me to let off steam and express myself. Though I've been mostly grumpy today, being able to unload had really been quite enjoyable. It hardly seemed like work at all.

Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Motivation tips & tricks

When attempting to make sweeping changes to ones life, it's difficult to find motivation & avoid self-deprecation.

Habits to Motivate by Roger Haeske
Roger offers the "Chair Sit Technique"
"This simple technique will make you want to get back to work when you aren't motivated. Decide to do nothing else but sit in a chair at your desk for a half hour. You can either do nothing or do your work, but those are your only choices."

* Say, for example, you want to tidy up your bathroom. Schedule 30 minutes. Put it on the clock. When the clock strikes whatever time you've set, sit on the toilet. You can do nothing -- or clean. Up to you!

Motivate Yourself by Deepak Chandrasekaran
Deepak asks that we consider the following:

* The ultimate motivator is defeat. Once you are defeated, you have nowhere to go except the top.
* Then only thing stopping you is yourself.
* There is no guarantee that tomorrow will come. So do it today.
* Intentions don't count, but action's do.
* Don't let who you are, stunt what you want to be.
* Sccess is the greatest motivator.
* Your goals must be clear, but the guidelines must be flexible.


Most importantly, keep this in mind:
"You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being -- not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money -- but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason."
--Wayne Dyer

Hotties at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards

Finally, the Emmy Awards have come out of the closet! Openly gay actor and hot bitch Neil Patrick Harris {who looks good in a suit -- or naked} seen here with boyfriend David Burtka.

Doogie keeps his shit fit by hitting up Equinox gym in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, one of my favorite TV hunks David Boreanaz {who just welcomed a new baby friend} is keeping things cute on the red carpet just by being his adorable self. He may be straight, but I accept his lifestyle choice!

Ryan Kwanted from True Blood also looked insanely hot. Literally, because it was boiling outside.

I have to keep up with various awards for professional reasons, but to be totally honest they're not really my thing -- except for the Grammys because of the performances.

Do you watch award shows? Who's your favorite TV stud?

Birthday Whores: Lance & James

X-Man hottie James Marsden super smacks 36 today.

"The gym mentality doesn't work for me," James says. "It's too isolating. I have to be outdoors chasing a ball. And I feel substantially better about myself when I do." His sports: basketball, volleyball, and occasionally football -- always with his buddies.



Elsewhere, biking babe and fellow manwhore Lance Armstrong pumps his way to 38.

Here are three pilates abdominal strengthening exercises from his website that show you how to get a tight tummy like Lance. I'm doing these as part of my ab workout today:

1) Leg circles
2) Modified bicycle
3) Open leg roll

HNT: Friends

Time one again for Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Here's the deal: being half-nekkid doesn't have to be sexually suggestive. Wait, what?

True story. You can totally celebrate your nakedness, take pride in it and not be a prostitution whore. Nudity is not the issue, context is. Many people confuse the two. Would you cover the statue of David? Is the Venus Demilo porn? Of course not, yet the argument has been made that these timeless treasures should be censored, which is plain stupid. Both pay tribute to the the human figure. It's a beautiful thing!

As I'm pictured here why my good friend Norma, I will say: We're just two good girlfriends who enjoy hanging out half nekkid! I think women are especially comfortable around gay men for this reason; they don't have to put up a physical barrier and are allowed to be completely comfortable in their own skin. The exact same relationship can be achieved between two women or two men.

I'm reminded of Judah Friedlander's 30 Rock character Frank Rossitano, who, possessed by a peculiar hetero-crush on the office coffee boy, justified his increasingly desperate come-ons by explaining, "We're just two straight guys who want to enjoy each other's bodies!"

Nothing wrong with that, bro. Nada, brah. Yeah I'm into other guys, but seeing another dude shirtless or otherwise disrobed can be a strictly platonic experience.


Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Lady Boy

Intrestingly, I've never once heard of a gay dude putting on sexy ladies underwear for his partner.

However, straight people get into swapping panties. Maybe it's the role reversal that turns them on, because a lot of macho guys like to be dominated in the bedroom. Plus, men will do just about anything their girl asks them as long as they get to come. Some women really enjoy the play off of soft feminine styles juxtaposed against hard masculinity. Women are complicated.

Gender bending is pretty sexy if you ask me. I'm one of the gayest gays who ever gayed, so it's not about pretending my partner is a female -- I mean, there's NOTHING ladylike about Mario Lopez in this scene from the upcoming season of 'Nip/Tuck.' I don't know what makes things sexy, I just know what gets me hard. If my man wore this hot slut of an outfit, I'd bone that bitch until our private areas rubbed raw. Just saying.

Plus, men should be objectified more often. Just doing my part!

8 Muscle Foods

I need a great deal of direction when it comes to food. It's possible for me to out-train a poor diet because I have a high metabolism and "skinny genes" in general, but I don't want to eat a bunch of crap. Eating poorly makes me lethargic and moody. I'm always on the lookout for protein heavy foods that build muscle. Here are 8 "muscle foods" that I actually enjoy eating...

Eggs: The Perfect Protein

Almonds: Muscle Medicine

Salmon: The Growth Regulator

Yogurt: The Golden Ratio

Beef: Carvable Creatine

Olive Oil: Liquid Energy

Water: The Muscle Bath

Coffee: The Repetition Builder

Living in Zen

A rather chaotic morning has led me in search of Zen.

The only thing is, "being Zen" is not a thing. You don't get a moment of Zen, or have a Zen attitude.

Zen is the practice of meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition. You don't search for it or ever find it, it is a tool {also called Zen Buddhism} that leads you to enlightenment.

This school of thought asserts that it is our personal journey in this world -- not faith and devotion -- that lead us to a path of ultimate fulfillment.

So I'm not {i.e. TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO} spin myself around in distress anymore. Lately I've let things twist around inside and make me a nervous wreck. I always feel like I'm missing something or forgot something or got something wrong or whatever -- to the point where my stomach is in knots.

Instead, my new approach is to clear my mind and not give a shit.

Plus as I tweeted earlier, it's all about laugh therapy. Ha-ha-mother-fucking-HA!

Food Fight!!!

For you, Virginia

First of all, I have to apologize: Because of the way blogger works, I have absolutely no idea which comments go with which entries. So, unless you're commenting on something really recent, or are super specific in your comment, once I click "accept" or whatever it just sort of flies off into cyberspace.

Otherwise, I do try to respond to comments.

Anyhoots, a reader named Virginia requested some Bradley Cooper action. She actually said she was surprised that I haven't featured him yet, but oh ye of little faith, Virginia! I absolutely HAVE posted about this hot bitch before, it's just hard to find unless you scroll back eight months. This site is in need of a redesign, and in the future I'm going to implement a drop down of all the mens I've featured or something like that. I'll figure it out and let you know.

Bradley Cooper's birthday is Jan 5th; he was the featured birthday boy on that date.

If you want to nominate a hot bitch to feature here, comment -- or Twitter me @Westopher -- Now taking requests!

Fill me up with your babies Ryan Phillipe

Ryan Phillipe donkey punches 35 today.

Sans trainer, Ryan gets his pump outside the gym with old school push-ups, sit-ups, hitting the track and running stairs.

This hot bitch proves that you don't have to buy a gym membership, hire a trainer, employ a personal chef or subscribe to an expensive diet program to get bodied.



Happy birthday, cowboy!

Multivitamins 101

You can either do the work or -- preferably -- cheat!

I {sort of} look at multivitamins as cheating to get all my nutrients in. Of course my personal goal is to choose the BETTER alternative. Rather than fried chicken for lunch, I would generally opt for baked or grilled chicken, for example. At the same time, my eating habits are all over the place and if I feel like a bag of Cheetos, I go on and eat me some Cheetos. Taking a multi helps me make sure I'm cheating right!


###
Vitamin A - Crucial to the process of protein synthesis where individual amino acids are combined to form new muscle tissue. It also helps the body to produce glycogen, the stored form of carbohydrates within the body.

Vitamin B1 - Also known as “thiamine” and is heavily involved in protein metabolism as well as the production of hemoglobin which helps to carry oxygen around the body.

Vitamin B2 - Also known as “riboflavin” and aids in the fat burning process as well as helping the body to produce energy from carbohydrates.

Vitamin B3 - Also known as “niacin” and increases vasodilation within the muscle tissue, helping you to appear fuller and more vascular.

Vitamin B6 - Also known as “pyridoxine” and is very important because of its effect on protein digestion. Muscle-building diets require larger than normal amounts of protein, and this means that your body needs a higher amount of vitamin B6 than the average Joe.

Vitamin B12 - Also known as “cobalamin”, vitamin b12 ensures that the brain and muscle tissue are communicating efficiently and this has a direct effect on muscle growth and coordination.

Biotin - Helps the body metabolize amino acids and produce energy during workouts.

Vitamin C - Heavily involved in amino acid metabolism and the formation of collagen. Collagen is found in your connective tissue and keeps your joints strong and healthy. Vitamin C also plays a role in the production of steroid hormones in the body and also enhances the absorption of iron. On top of all of this, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which flushes out free radicals and prevents damage to your body cells.

Vitamin D - Helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus more efficiently. Calcium is very important during muscle contractions and also helps to maintain strong bones and joints. Phosphorus is involved in the synthesis of ATP, the usable form of energy within the body.

Vitamin E - A very powerful antioxidant which helps to hunt out and neutralize free radicals. This will help to flush out many of the natural metabolic waste products your body produces and maintain the health of your cell membranes.

Meet the Melrose Gay: Victor Webster

I used to crush on this hot bitch back when he was on some X-Man-type rip off TV show that ran Saturday mornings in syndication. It was a pretty terrible show, but I love cheesy sci-fi shit.

Victor also posed for Playgirl {pics at ethansays} bared his butt in Sex & the City {see screen caps at omgblog} TO THE POINT: THIS IS MY KIND OF ACTOR, BASICALLY.

Victor is on tap to play the token {though football loving & therefore "non-stereotypical" according to the network} gay of the new Melrose Place. All I can say is that in this version of the show, the gay dude better be a big slut. The biggest joke of all on the original MP is the only person who didn't get laid was the gay guy. There was one time when he did get some, but then his lover beat him. Everybody else was a whore, yet he was punished for being in love! So like the 90s.

As for saying in shape, "being devious burns a lot of calories," he says. Wrap this mother fucker up, tie a bow on it and drop it at my front door.

The reloaded Melrose Place premieres tonight on the CW.

Return of the Slab

I heart the slabber. He was gone for awhile, but now he's back {at another url}. He posted this pic with a caption that read: Your total fitness solution.

Agreed!

The new daily slab: Slab Redux


Enjoy the holiday weekend, everybody!

HOT WET HNT

This week has been hot & sticky in Hollywood.

There's a point where you're overheated and exhausted from the day, when you can't even be bothered to wipe that sheen of sweat that keeps popping up on your forehead. Maintaining freshness is no longer a realistic option. You're gross, there's no hiding it! With this heat and ashy overcast from the wildfires, everybody is in the same situation.

It's actually sort of liberating, because there's nothing you can do anyways. Grant me the serenity, right? So who cares? Be a mess. For somebody like me, having a hair out of place is practically worth taking a personal day. I want everything to be just so, in many ways. There's a time to loosen your grip and let the reins go a little.

Not everything in life is going to be exactly just so.


Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

David Boreanaz Has a New Baby Friend

'Bones' star and all-around hot bitch David Boreanaz had a baby! Well, another baby. This one a girl.

He and wifey Jaime Bergman are already proud parents to son Jaden Rayne, age 7. On Monday, they welcomed a new baby friend, daughter Bardot Vita Boreanaz, who weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz. "We've been trying to have another baby for a couple of years now so we are beyond excited," Bergman, 33, recently told PEOPLE's Celebrity Baby Blog.

Right before getting started on 'Bones' (one of my fave TV shows) David had some trouble with his ACL after an old high school track injury falred up. He had surgery and says it "took a long time for me to get my walk back. I couldn't run on it for six months, so I just sat around and gained weight. I was very limited in what I could do."

With the help of a personal trainer he was able to get back on track before taping started. It is highly recommended that you work with a hired professional post-surgery to set realistic goals while avoiding another injury.

He also hired a nutritionist. "All along, you think you're eating the right things, you're working out and doing everything right, but then you find out that you're not building muscle--you're just storing fat. [Through my nutritionist] I've been learning a lot about metabolism. In car terms, everyone has their own engine, and you have to take care of it in a very specific way."

Chubby Hubby Now Hubby Hubby

In honor of the new Vermont law legalizing gay marriage, Ben & Jerry's has changed the name of its popular Chubby Hubby flavor ice-cream to Hubby Hubby {for the month of September}.

Ben & Jerry's issued this statement of words about Hubby Hubby: “The legalization of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction, and something worth celebrating with peace, love - and plenty of ice cream."

The only proper way to celebrate is to grab a pint and enjoy some delicious ice cream!

Now, before you go thinking that because this is a health & fitness blog -- or because I advocate a good diet & active lifestyle -- that I don't eat ice cream. That's ridiculous. I've said it many times before, but it's worth repeating: snacks & treats can be part of a good diet. Cake, ice cream, wine & spirits can and should be consumed -- IN MODERATION -- without guilt. Live life and enjoy yourself. Have a pint!

Scott Speedman Still Bringing the Sexy

Today's hot birthday bitch is Scott Speedman, that dude who was on that TV show Felicity and then got a hair cut. Still looking fine at 34, Mr. Speedman!

He was also in one of my fave vampire movies, Underworld. I love the line where he softly, yet sternly tells Selene he doesn't want her to leave him, saying, "No, I want to go with you." A very simple line, but he delivers it well. I would love him to whisper that in my ear...but I'm not picky he could whisper whatever he wants!
