Happy Hump Day: Nathan Fillion

With this being my sole opportunity to pick a Hump Day Hottie, it was imperative that I make an excellent choice. With that in mind, I went with none other than Captain Tightpants himself, Nathan Fillion. Firefly was arguably the first sci-fi show that I ever truly loved. I’ve now watched it more times than I can count and Malcolm Reynolds remains one of my favorite characters to this day. I would love to fly around the ‘verse on Serenity.

Naturally, Joss Whedon’s brilliant vision has quite a bit to do with that. Fortunately for all of us, Joss and Nathan have a thriving bromance that doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon: you may remember Nathan as Caleb on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or as Captain Hammer in Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Did you all also hear that Joss directed a version of Much Ado About Nothing with so many Whedonverse actors that I couldn’t possibly list them all here? To say I’m excited would be a serious understatement. It also helps that Mr. Fillion seems like a genuinely wonderful, kind person, consistently cracks me up on Twitter, and was adorably befuddled in Waitress. He also popped up in disguise at The Joss Whedon Experience panel Meli and I attended at SDCC 2010 to ask Joss who his favorite actor is during the fan questions. Joss’ response? “It’s Nathan Fillion!” as he pointed to the microphone, revealing the speaker’s identity. I think we all know he only spoke the truth. With the gushing out of the way, enjoy the photos:

Happy Hump Day: Adam Levine

I first discovered Maroon 5 when they were featured in a popular Floridian department store’s commercial about 9 years ago or so. I loved the song (can’t even remember the single they used now), and my friends were resourceful enough to find out that this wonderful band was coming in concert. So we bought their CD and our $5 tickets (yes, really) and saw them perform in the backstage area of an amphitheater. What I remember the most is their amazing cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Closer, and apparently what I remember the least is that a very young (& adorable) Jason Mraz opened for them. Aside from their vintage musical stylings (yeah, I’m not a fan of their more recent material), what I loved the most was Mr. Adam Levine’s good looks. Sure, he’s a d-bag and the whole nine, but have you seen him work that microphone? And have you seen him topless? It almost makes me forget that their new single sounds like the season’s new gay anthem (not that there’s anything wrong with that). 😉

Happy Hump Day: Henry Cavill (Part II)

I always vowed never to do a repeat hump day, but honestly, I could not help myself. British hottie, Henry Cavill, is just too beautiful for words. And I am constantly being pummeled by the most gorgeous pictures of him now that he is starring in The Immortals (directed by Tarsem, so you know it will be the most visually stunning movie ever) and as The Man of Steel himself. So I figured no one would complain if he was featured on the blog again, right? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Fun fact: did you know that his nickname growing up was Fat Cavill? Pretty hard to believe now, huh?

Happy Hump Day: Shia LaBeouf

Sure, sure. I can be a cougar at times – what of it?? Although at times I would watch Even Stevens (my friend’s little sister really loved the show), it wasn’t until Transformers that I really noticed how adorable Shia LaBeouf was – and how talented. Sure, he’s basically a somewhat self-contained trainwreck now, but at the time, he was just the best thing since sliced bread. I don’t think I have to say that aside from amazing CGI work, he carried that movie with his perfect comedic timing and charm (too bad the same cannot be said about the other two). I just wish he would clean up the ridiculous antics and mildly creepy facial hair, because I’m pretty sure he could rework his image and be that charming kid again. Until then, enjoy the hump!

ps; like my new hump day hottie badge? I had to give the boys some kind of honor!

Happy Hump Day: Daniel Craig

You ladies really love Daniel Craig. I don’t think much of him, but figured I would throw out a freebie for you all. After all, I like doing that from time to time. 😉 Sure, the man has a ridiculous body that looks beyond fantastic in clothes (specifically in this poster for Cowboys and Aliens), but I just can’t give his face the time of day. Butter face, I believe is the term. However, he really is a great actor and definitely tends to pick some pretty stellar roles. Most recently, he will be seen in David Fincher’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo based off the bestselling book trilogy (all the best movies are based off books lately, huh?). I have not read this series yet (maybe some good airplane material for my upcoming vacation), but I did watch the trailer and it looks all sorts of magnificent. Fincher is one of my favorite directors, and his style is pretty close to impeccable so I have pretty high expectations.
