SPAAARTAAAAH-CUS!!!

'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' premieres a new episode tonight at 10 p.m. on Starz. I'll be setting my DVR.

To train for the role, series star and hot bitch Andy Whitfield says he went to gladiator boot camp: "It was pretty brutal, actually. Two days after I got the job, I flew to New Zealand, and I was in gladiator boot camp, which is a month of four hours a day, getting smashed to pieces by big stunt guys, learning how to fall, sword fighting and not eating anything. It was really hard. And then you get to the end of that first month, and then they're going to do an eight-and-a-half-month shoot where you have to stay in that shape."

As for stunts, "I did most of it myself because of the phantom camera. There is this 1,000 frames-a-second camera that creates the slow-motion stuff, so you can see it is not me if it is not me. There were some things I couldn't do for insurance reasons. But pretty much, I hit the deck every time and threw the punches and swung the swords."

This week on Young Hollywood: I met Kristen Chenowith!

Finally! Fucking! Friday!!! (FFF) omg you guys what a crazy, busy week.

I mean that in a good way, not to complain or elicit pity. Don't you hate it when people are always telling you how crazy their life is, how busy "with everything" they are and how tired all of that stuff is making them? It's like, shut up and take a nap!

This week I got to do some really fun stuff, just yesterday I got to see some of the Grammy rehearsals, caught a handfull of glitter and attitude at the premiere party for 'RuPaul's Drag Race' (Ru was there but I only got to say a quick hello on the red carpet), plus I saw the amazing V.V. Brown at Bardot in Hollywood. Oh right, I took a ride in one of the famous Weinermobile (only 6 exist) and met the beautiful and talented Kristen Chenowith!

WTF Nick Carter?!?

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter is...a...hot...bitch? I'm so confused!

In his boy band days, I never thought he was a tasty piece. Later, as the band faded into relative obscurity, he dated skanks and got fat. Not attractive. His weight loss was part of a downward spiral of self-abuse, including drugs.

Nick says he hated looking "swollen all the time," during his partying days. Now, "I have a jaw again! I've got abs. It still shocks me."

"I got the demons off my chest and I'm doing everything I can so I won't ever get back there."

Along with getting clean, he cleaned up his eating habits by trading chicken wings and pizza for three-egg-white omelets, grilled chicken sandwiches and lots of veggies (asparagus and beets are his new favorites). Overall, he limits himself to 2,000 calories a day and works out five times a week.

Nick Carter gets sticky with the big 3-0 today.

Stephen Colbert is sports sexy

Stephen Colbert announced his show will sponsor the U.S. Speedskating team for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

I sort of forget where I was going with this about a week ago when I originally uploaded to these pics (I work ahead) and I'm having a real shit week -- not in terms of bad stuff happening to me I'm just in a weird headspace -- so I'll just say that a little laughter makes the day BETTER. Now, if you can combine funny and smart, my dick drips. Make a funny, turn me on. I really am that easy. I'd even do Stephen Colbert! That is, as long as we used a laugh track for background music.

"I used to write things for friends," Stephen says. "There was this girl I had a crush on, and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her, so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way."

John Mayer jerks it all the time

John Mayer is a bit of a guilty pleasure. Although a mature 32, this man-child is known for his weird Twitter ramblings and inane magazine interviews. I sort of take everything he says like he's just fucking with the interviewer to see what kind of while, stupid shit they'll put in print.

Rolling Stone took the bait during a recent interview, in which the singer-songwriter admitted to being a compulsive jerk off.

"I am the new generation of masturbator," John Mayer says. "I've seen it all. Before I make coffee, I've seen more butt holes than a proctologist does in a week. I mean, I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life. The phone doesn't pick up because I'm masturbating. And I have excused myself at the oddest times so as to not make mistakes. If Tiger Woods only knew when to jerk off. It has a true market value, like gold bullion. First of all, I don't jerk off because I'm horny ... No, I do it because I want to take a brain bath. It's like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 percent agreeable with itself."

Obviously your wank schedule shouldn't get in the way of daily activities. Otherwise, pants off! Exploring our bodies is healthy, natural and fun. Fact.

This week on Young Hollywood!

Heyyy, you guys. It's FFF!*

*FINALLY FUCKING FRIDAY!!!

As you all know, I've found great personal growth by simply deciding to try something new now and then. Self-promotion is no different.

I suppose, in order to continue my dream as a full-time writer I need to make sure people are, if they care to, reading my stuff. It seems that maybe I haven't made it clear that's what I actually do. Like, it pays my bills. I don't have any other income. I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm Living The Dream! (the poor man's version of it, anyway)

As we slide soft and slow into the tight hole of the new year, I'd like to further stimulate you with celebrity lifestyle articles posted on the daily at YoungHollywood.com

Each week, I'll give y'all a round-up here:

Face Fashion: The LL Collection by Lisa Loeb

Hollywood Hair at Home: Self-help!

Soleil Moon Frye: Punky Girl Goes Organic

Sade is a Soldier of Love

Vibram Five Fingers: A Fashion Road Test

HNT: Makeover

I really thought this was the look. That hair, you guys! Somehow I thought I could keep up the natural-ish brown with a peacock highlight right at the front going on forever. Except for the issue of roots and damaged hair from bleaching, it was a great idea (it was not a great idea).

Like many other passing fads, I quickly switched up my look. It took a few months to grow out, but only an afternoon to dye it darker and restyle. Even in the picture above, in which I'd just gotten out of the shower and hadn't touched my hair, its 100% better, more natural looking and fits my personal style.

Once I whip that shit with a hairdryer and add some product, as this horribly lit (except for the hair) photo illustrates, it's a whole new me!

Though I very rarely get negative comments and/or hate mail (which are just deleted anyways) there is a common theme among those who put down this site; detractors believe it to be superficial.

Well, you know my stock reply: FUCK THOSE PEOPLE

Nobody tells me what to do, how to think, or what to post on MY damn blog. Beyond that, I don't care what anybody says about wanting to be healthy and shit -- people want to look good. Nobody would go to the gym or eat anything except Cheetos and ice cream if they could look hot doing so.

When you look your best, you feel your best. That's why I take the time and energy to invest in a BETTER me, inside and out.


Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Back by popular request, it's 'Glee' super stud Matthew Morrison!

Peep this hot bitch in his underwears

"I'm still kind of a loner," he told PARADE magazine. "Even the sports I'm into -- running and cycling -- are the kind I do myself."

"I like to throw my bike in the back of my truck, drive out to Malibu, and then bicycle along the Pacific Coast Highway," he added. "It gives me a chance to be alone with my thoughts."

As for taking the spotlight: "Some performers say it's so easy, so natural, but I think that's bull." he says. "I still get nervous but fear is one of the great things that motivates me to be the best I can be."

Becks get inked, drops pants

Soccer stud and style icon David Beckham got some new ink (on his side) which he showed off at a recent game, during which he also depantsed himself. That's my kind of guy, but I'll tell you why I really love this hot bitch...

...he makes being skinny sexy. Guys everywhere, even myself, have this notion that to be a real man you have to look like a bodybuilder. Big muscle. Becks is the exception, proving those notions are bullshit. You can be a sex symbol without biceps the size of a child's head.

Not all dudes are built that way, just like most ladies don't develop double-D breast size with a 22-inch waist. There is, however, no question other body parts -- those of men and women alike -- quiver at the sight of sexy Becks. I'm not saying everybody wants to drop their panties for him, but it's enough of a crowd to make one realize there's a type for everyone; that you don't have to submit to one generic catchall. Rather than fighting against my body's nature, I have learned to embrace my manly stick figure.

"To be someone kids look up to is a great honor," David tells Men's Health. "What matters is how you carry yourself, off and on the field."

Welcome to my box Maksim Chmerkovskiy

Like many other fine mo'fos before him, 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy butt clenches the big 3-0 today. Welcome to my box, bitch!

We all know how this hot bitch stayes in shape, the art of the dance! "Working out on machines is so boring," Maksim says. "This way, you can change the atmosphere, the mood -- and you’re also learning how to dance."

He stays motivated by focusing on his success "I don’t want to look back 10 years from now and see my life as a failure," he says.

DANCE WITH MAKSIM:

The Samba: 1. Stand with feet together, bend at the knees and bounce to the samba beat while contracting abdominals. 2. Step to the side and back to the center. This benefits your thighs, calves and abdominals, says Maksim. To increase intensity, bounce up on your toes as you move.

The Rumba & Cha-Cha: 1. For the rumba, lunge on one leg – great for thighs and glutes. Your partner leans in, working her inner thigh. 2. Now, the cha-cha. Spin your partner. To maintain her center, she keeps her abs tight throughout. 3. “Twist the body, extend the arm but don’t relax your abs or you’ll fall off balance!” Maksim warns.

Paso Doble: 1. Swing your partner from one side to the other (as a matador swings his cape, with Cheryl represents). 2. Move your hips forward, twist your body and make a circle with your arms to stretch and tone abs and obliques. 3. Finish by swiveling your hips and allowing your partner to open her arms.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARO!

Best celebrity moment ever.

Ultimate gay that I am, I practically hyperventilated when my 80s icon, Charo, came in to our studio for an interview some months ago.

Under normal circumstances, I would never approach someone for a photo in a professional situation. It was my one chance, so I bent the rules a little. On the sly, I asked the producer who set up the interview if I could get a quick picture with Charo.

She was amazing. "Choo want picture with me?" she asked, eyes sparkling. She's quite stunning and every bit as energetic in person. "JES! Of courth! Jew are gorgeous!" Then she pulled me by the waist, gave me a big hug and kissed me on both cheeks as I snapped this photo with my camera-phone.

That's right. Charo says I'm gorgeous. And I believe her.

The Cuchi-Cuchi Girl celebrates her (???) birthday today. Bitch looks flawless.

Now, here's a totally true story. I've been to Charo's house. By invitation. The day that we met, I was invited to a listening party she was hosting at her home. Originally, I was supposed to go with one of my co-workers, the producer who had brought Charo in for the interview. Due to personal reasons, the producer had to cancel but I was like fuck all that, I'm going to Charo's house! By invitation! I'm supposed to be there! Even by myself!

So I went, expecting Charo to be like every other celeb -- surrounded by her people and tucked away in a back corner, inaccessible to the crowd. I could not have been more wrong.

Let me backtrack by saying I absolutely HATE going places by myself, because there's nobody to talk shit with when I get bored. Nothing is worse than standing around by yourself at a Hollywood party, feeling like everybody is fabulous; except you.

So anyways, I walked up the driveway solo, already feeling a bit outcast and alone. As I walked in the door, who do you think was standing in the foyer decked out in a red sequened dress shouting, "Hello, gorgeouth?" Mother fucking Charo.

She personally gave me a tour of her home, introduced me to her family, friends and music peers. Some DJ friends of mine arrived and I grouped with them, but Charo continued to check in by making sure that I -- we -- had food and drinks.

Later, Charo and I danced together and I commented on her slamming body and (low cut) sparkly mini-dress. "Oh, this?" She said, flipping her hair and shifting to the music. "I didn't know what to wear, so I justh said; 'I want to look like a whore.'"

Love this hot bitch. LOVE.

Inspiration

This hot bitch right here! She's my fuckin' hero. Her workouts kick all possible ass and she's got a working brain inside that pretty head of hers.

Although I would like to update this blog every day, time does not always permit. However I did want to share this with you today, it is excellent advice: Find real-life role models. Somebody you know personally, let them be your inspiration.

Word.

Orlando Bloom needs a spanking

Orlando Bloom pelvic thrusts 33 today.

Before he found fame, the actor broke his back in an accident, leaving him unable to do most of his own stunts in the blockbuster movies that would follow. Orlando proves you can't keep a good man down.

"I do yoga and Pilates," he says. "I’ve been blessed to be given a great physical form, and I want to treasure it."

Yoga is a great way to stay in shape and keep in tune with your body. Pilates is a little more complicated because it's difficult to do own your own, but I would highly recommend giving it a try -- with a pro instructor. It helps develop better posture and flexability.

The O is definitely not a bulky, overtly-masculine beefcake -- and he's not likely to develop into one either. He's a strict vegetarian, even avoiding dairy products (however I don’t know if this is dietary or because he's supposedly lactose intolerant).

Orlando also follows the 5 Factor Diet, which promotes a 5-week program that for many becomes a lifestyle program that features 5 meals a day, 25-minute workouts and one cheat day per week.


BONUS! Further proof that you can get BETTER with age...Patrick Dempsey is 44 today. From 80’s geek to New Millennium hottie!

Channing Tatum's penis is fantastic

Channing Tatum is making the world wince with his tales of peen abuse.

While in Scotland filming his upcoming movie 'The Eagle of the Ninth,' "The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your suit," Channing tells Details. We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I'm like, Nah, I'm good. And then I thought, Why not? Thing is, he'd forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much burned the skin off the head of my dick."

"I'm good . . . now. Now my penis is fantastic! One hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach."

Chan drop kicks 30 in April.

Natch, I've posted about this hot bitch before:

Here's Channing Tatum shirtless in GQ
...and this is Channing Tatum playing with cock.

Have more sex

I'm only slutting around to live a longer, better life!

"People who have frequent sex tend to live longer and have healthier hearts and lower rates of certain cancers," a new reports says. These studies also show that men with an active sex life have healthier sperm, and sexually active women have fewer menopause symptoms."

So...yah. It's not like I want to be easy, my himbo ways are a survival technique. I don't want to live forever (boring!), but while I'm here on earth I want to feel great and look hot.

Let's face it, not many of us really give a shit about living a healthy lifestyle. We really just want to reap the rewards; we want to feel good and keep on living. If there's a way to do something enjoyable while attaining those benefits, there's a condom and lube on the nightstand. I'm ready!

HNT: Black & White

So, it kind of turns out that not everything is black and white.

I'd like to say I'm not prone to snap decisions, being emotionally reactive or assumptive; which would be a lie.

How easy is it to make a decision based on something that in turn is incorrect and therefore negates whatever action you took because of that presumption?

How easy is it to take one look at some self-professed Guido from 'Jersey Shore' and assume we are better than them? What makes the rest of us so great?

I'm not saying we're not great, or that 'Jersey Shore' people aren't dumb as a box of rocks, because all that's true, pretty much. My point is to see things in black and white may later make you feel like a stupid ass when it reveals itself to be far more complex. It happens to me, so I'm reminded as I go forward to try not to always see things in black and white, but for all the gray area in between.


Happy Half-Nekkid Thursday!

Break me off some Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper pops a sweat while I pop something of my own watching him! The 'Hangover' hunk is often spotted at or leaving the gym here in Hollywood, where careful observation may tell you a little something about his anatomy. Or maybe a big something? Let's all hope!

I started crushing on this hot bitch during 'Alias,' which was also fun to watch the main spy chick stick a perfect parachute landing in high heels and don totally unnecessary disguises just to blow shit up. Kicking international terrorist ass just isn't the same if you can't do it dressed as a Turkish belly dancer undercover in a slave brothel.

"My better days have been the days where I've embraced life more than rejected it, that's for sure," he says.

Bradley gives 35 a wet willie today.

Picture yourself a success

Today's step: Picture yourself a success

The right mindset can create a path to the things we want in life. It will likely take more time & effort than expected, however.

When I say I've accomplished whatever I've put my mind to, I don't mean it happened the next day. I'm still working on many of my goals, but the key for me is to see that goal as attainable, not just something I'm wishing will happen but probably never will. That's why winning the lottery is not a good goal.
