Ok. Time to inject a little homosexuality into this blog. Paul Rudd is hot. He just is, Discuss.
Update: I am with Joshua – who is apparently not gay. Jim Sturgess is even hotter. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. It’s 5:30am. I’m watching Doogie Howser in Starship Troopers. Also hot.

Ron Paul is hot? Really?
Well, I guess it explains why you like the fair tax, if it’ll get a hot guy elected.
Joshua
Not as hot as Jim Sturgess, in my opinion. But as I don’t have The Gay, I’m not sure how much my opinion counts for. ;)
(Although I just started browsing his IMDB photos, and it seems he’s not quite as hot outside Across the Universe.)
merciless
Well, ok Michael, whatever floats your boat. I’m a Bradley Whitford fan myself, but of course I’m a girl and so it doesn’t count.
wasabi gasp
Word is his tax is really flat.
And Joshua, The Gay. You. So are.
dougie smooth
Michael, you know how I know you’re gay?
John S.
You have a bumper sticker that says “I like balls in my face” on your car?

I guess this is a good time to come out of the closet and admit that I am a flaming heterosexual.
I hope you librulfascists won’t persecute me for being straight.
Chuck Butcher
I’m at a loss for words…hot?
Carlo
I’ve never commented here before. But on this matter I feel compelled to register my complete agreement. SO hot.
The Grandest Panjandrum
I’m pretty sure this thread endangers my marriage so I won’t join in on the gaiety.
myiq2xu
I’m not married but even though it’s Christmas I ain’t donning any gay apparel.
Cain
Will at least “fah la la la”?
I’m not sure that guy is hot. He’s okay I guess.

Is this place turning into “Queer eye for the straight guy?” It’s okay just as long as you understand I’m not switching teams.
Seriously though Mikey, your posts this weekend ain’t eggzactly stimulating any discussions.
borehole
Yeah, Rudd’s hot, but he’s also smart and funny and picks his projects well, so fuck that guy.
Michael D.
Paul Rudd supports the Fairtax. Discuss, :-)
farmgirl
About Doogie Howser … an unexpected benefit to Neal Patrick Harris coming out was that “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” suddenly became that much funnier.
Just sayin’.
Libby Spencer
Meh. Those kids are more like lukewarm. They’re just pretty boys.
Now, Hugh Laurie is HOT.
Raenelle
The 50s were the gold standard for the Form of hot-iness. No woman was ever prettier than Marilyn Monroe, and no man was ever more devastatingly handsome than Marlon Brando, circa “Streetcar Named Desire.” The magazine, “Gay Times,” had a feature once–30 sexiest men ever. The guy on the cover? Marlon, of course.
Krista
Paul Rudd is indeed tasty. Hugh Laurie — never got the appeal. But then again, taste is very subjective. I’m sure some women would go “Eewwww!” when finding out about my unrequited lust for Alan Rickman.
Scott H
“Inject a little homosexuality?” Now, that’s just tacky (and, Michael, no worries, not everyone is a size queen.)
Still, tangential to the subject: Hoover Planned Mass Jailing in 1950. Yay!
Fifty years on, Dick Chainey Cheney in a red frock isn’t so awfully incredible after all (esp. considering his enthusiastic, public championing of anal autoeroticism – “go fuck yourself” for the slower folks in the audience), and Karl Rove always manages a passable Roy Cohn.
Punchy
WHAAAAAAAA??
ThymeZone
His King Philip in King of the Hill “Joust Like A Woman” was quite wonderful.
DougJ
As long as this is getting so gay, can someone answer a few of my fashion questions? My main one is this: is the current acceptable tie width of today the same as it was before the wide-tie ear of the late nineties/early oughties or should they be even narrower now? I need to know if I can just wearing my old ties again or if I need to get new ones.
Got some shoes and pants questions too.
ThymeZone
That depends on where you live. If you are in NYC or Chicago, maybe not.
But if you are in … well, you know …. then nobody is going to care.
Probably the only way you can raise an eyebrow would be by wearing a bolo tie.
gregg
I wouldn’t kick him out of an airport bathroom stall.
p.lukasiak
Paul Rudd? Hot? Are you kidding? I mean, he’s cute, but hot?
One word for you…
Viggo
myiq2xu
Because bolos are only worn with ass chaps, which should answer Doug’s question about pants.
Stilettos are generally okay unless you’re drag-racing, because it’s hard to run in heels.
ThymeZone
Oh no, out here you can wear them with shorts or just about anything. Or if you’re gay, with a bathing suit.

Rudd does nothing for me, though he is a decent actor. I’m female, by the way.
Agreed with the other wimmins on Alan Rickman and Hugh Laurie. Adrien Brody, anyone? Mmmmmmmmm. And, of course, Viggo.
Interesting discussion. So who wants to share their hetero girl-crushes?
Billie Piper tops my current list. Kate Winslet. Lauren Ambrose. Yowza.
rawshark
John took care of that a long time ago with the Hola Fruit and box wine.
So true.
michael
he is really just ben afflek lite.
myiq2xu
Fuckola! The Raiders are down 28-3 and there’s over 6 minutes left in the first half.
demimondian
No, no, no — bolo ties go around the neck with a clip. It’s reins which go into the mouth with a bit.
Libby Spencer
Clark Gable in the prison scene in GWTW is on a par with Brando. Something about that white shirt…
demimondian
I confess to being partial to Vivian Leigh in that movie, too.
Mary
Krista, I cannot believe that you do not get the hotness that is Hugh Laurie. I actually shed a tear.
I am deeply relieved, however, that you get Alan Rickman. Rowwr!
mrmobi
Krista and Mary, you are in luck. Alan Rickman plays Judge Turpin in the new “Sweeney Todd.” I did not know he could sing, but, since anything Sondheim is gold to me, I’m going to see it on Christmas Eve, because nothing says Christmas Spirit like a musical about cannibalism.
The Other Steve
I once saw Sweeney Todd performed in community theatre.
Is the movie anywhere as boring as the play?
demimondian
Yup. Brilliant music, stunningly satiric content, funny dialog, revenge, tragedy, and well motivated violence. It’s every bit as boring as the original musical.
ThymeZone
That kinds depends on the community theater, doesn’t it?
Johnny Pez
Or fluffy white sideburns.
Psycheout
Fascinating. How do you come up with such compelling material Mike D.?
demimondian
He tries to get in synch with the fantasies of you and your ilk, Psicko.
Scriblerus
Krista: Alan Rickman = drop dead sexy.
Paul Rudd is shaggable, but not hot.
Hot is Alan Rickman, young Gene Wilder, and Scott Cassell.
I would love to be Mrs. Cassell. http://away.com/images/outside/200607/scott-cassell.jpg)
Phoebe
Paul Rudd, so very hot. Ben Affleck, not at all, the opposite. Alan Rickman yes, hot, Hugh Laurie you can keep, but much hotter than Ben Affleck, still. Viggo of course hot, and I say to you also hot is Gordon Brown. Who’s with me?
Phoebe
Also hot is Michael Cera, which makes me a chicken hawk, but not as much as if I said Jim Sturgess. That’s just creepy.
james_boston
Paul Rudd is hot. If you find ugly hot. That Jim Sturgess guy is kinda hot…if you like the homeless rent-boy look. Which Michael D. apparently does. If you want hot, it’s still Brad Pitt, wrinkles and all.
Wonder how many of us lurkers here were finally motivated to post by this gayest of gay topics.
over it
Christian Bale.
Yummy.
I’ve crushed on him since he was 12 (he is older than I am so that’s not icky) and starred in Empire of the Sun.
james_boston
Oh…Starship Troopers? Amazing movie…one of my favs of all time! Anyone who loves politics and hasn’t seen it is a douche. Doogie Howser playing a fascist storm trooper type…need I say more? (However, despite the hot fascist uniform he wears, Michael is wrong. Doogie is just not hot. I mean he still looks like Doogie Howser…lots of other hot male and female flesh though.)
myiq2xu
I would have rather seen Denise’s funbags than Dina’s.
