Health: Pussy is good for you

I've always been a cat person. Cats are like pillows that vibrate. They're awesome, and odd.

Having a furry friend improves:

* Overall mood (I've read that people without pets are 3 times more likely to experience symptoms of depression)

* Blood pressure (Even better than pills, druggie)

* Stress levels (Which is why evil bad guys have cats on their lap, world domination is hella stressful)

* Cholesterol & Triglyceride levels (Healthy shit, no additional comment)

* Feelings of loneliness (My pussy is always there for me; she doesn't judge or care what I look like -- only that I feed her regularly)

* Pets (and their owners) also make good cuddlers.

Obligatory Tuesday Post

Sometimes I need a little break to get my thoughts together before I can continue to move forward. I'm on a mental vacation until next week.

Eatery: Fucking Pig Out!

I love this picture of Chris Evans as Captain America; is he trying to hail a cab?

When he's not busting superhero moves, Chris was also photographed taking a break from his healthy alter ego and enjoying some of Cleveland's finest catering -- grabbing three handfulls of fries, corn on the cob and even a hotdog on the set (paparazzi is creepy fun, amirite?).

Point is: Sometimes a belly just needs some nom noms.

It seems rather obvious that it's better to keep those days to a minimum. They can CGI Chris thin, but that doesn't work in real life.

Sex: Adam Levine is mighty fine

Adam Levine knows what I'm talking about. “I just love being as naked as possible all the time,” he tells Out magazine. “It feels really natural to me.”

Thank you! Being naked makes things awesomer.

Fitness: Make a playdate

It's not difficult to imagine Kellan Lutz and Zac Efron enjoying man-on-man playtime (I’ll let that dirty daydream marinate for a moment ... aaaand we’re back) the two are in fact fond of playing around — on the playground.

Both muscle hunks have been spotted working it out away from the gym. Zac hit up a jungle gym while on a break from filming in Louisiana, while Kellan got pumped on the rings at the Santa Monica pier.

Who needs a gym? Anybody can take advantage of their surroundings and turn them into makeshift exercise machines. Not near a park? Since nobody reads books, you can use them as dumbells. Milk or water jugs also make great free weights.

Point is, it's summer. Get out and play. If you get too hot and tired to go on, there are always hotties awaiting to be ogled. Hey, eyeballs are muscles too!

I've spent considerably less time at the gym these past few months for that very reason. Eyeballing hot dudes. No wait I mean being physically active outdoors! Ok, both.

Sex: Can we talk about male nudity?

Meet my new husband! Ok, I don't actually know who this dude is, and we're certainly not engaged, but he's naked. Thanks to the internet, this has become less shocking, but the male form is still widely under exploited in the mainstream. I really think we should have more equality.

Being naked is natural and it should be represented without a negative or controversial reaction.

It actually takes a lot of balls (pun intended) to pose in the nude. There is a certain amount of courage and confidence it takes to bare all.

I can't speak for everyone that has gone through a body transformation ... but I like being able to show off my hard work. One of the things that being physically active and all healthy and shit has done for me is increased confidence. A happy side effect!

Happy Birthday Mr. President

Hottest. President. Ever. Also, possibly the fittest. Way to go, studly! His one vice: smoking. He's still trying to quit. I totally understand. It's really hard, you guys. Almost as hard as a typical Tea Party skull. You know, because they're brick heads.

A typical day for Obama at the gym, as detailed by Politico: "Obama ran a full body workout. Calf raises (70 lbs). Lying triceps presses but with single 15 lbs dumbbells in each hand. Shoulder presses. Step ups with a high platform, clasping dumbbells. He had a prescribed workout on paper...though at times Obama did his own thing, focusing mostly on his triceps. Later, in the corner of the gym he did calf raises alone, lifting about 80 lbs and then cleaning the bench afterward, slowly, weight by weight."

Happy birthday, Mr. President!

Body of the Year?

This was voted the best body of the year. She's 66. Granted, the photo is a bit old. She was much younger then, just 63. This bitch! How does Helen Mirren do it?

She's gone on to become a spokesperson for the Wii Fit. Although clearly not how she attained this body, she swears she does use it. If you read the following quote with her charming accent in your head, you'll probably believe her: "The Wii is fun, and it's infinitely varied. You can hula, jog, yoga, step, all in one session. You need never get bored as every day you can tailor a new workout. It challenges you, and you do it at home, so nobody need see you in those old yoga pants and torn t-shirt. It's my new best friend," she says.

She topped the list on a recent LA Fitness poll of 2,000 men and women. The results seem rather UK focused, so I'd be really interested to see the same results of a similar poll in the US.

I have little doubt David Beckham, who took the top spot for male celebs, would maintain his rank stateside.

1. Helen Mirren - 17.65%
2. Elle MacPherson - 10.6%
3. Kelly Brook - 8.35%
4. Jennifer Lopez - 6.6%
5. Cheryl Cole - 5.35%
6. Myleene Klass - 4.2%
7. Holly Willoughby - 4.1%
8. Pippa Middleton - 4%
9. Kate Winslet - 3.9%
10. Nicole Scherzinger - 3.8%

I was taking this whole thing seriously until I saw Simon Cowell. Really? Okay, I would.
