Promoting his amazing new album ‘Mule’, Orville Peck wisely turned to Playgirl to hit his target audience, and we all ate it up while digging into the music behind the man. Here are a few shots from that spread for your Sunday evening enjoyment. (And for even more Orville Peck nakedness, check out this post.)
It’s been a hot minute since we posted some superficially salacious shirtless male celebrities, so let’s rectify that with this entry. It begins with Lee Pace, who provides the ‘semi’ part of the proceedings, not quite peeling away as much clothing as he did in ‘Practical Magic 2’, or even in his Dazzler of the Day post here.
Jake Gyllenhaal looks to be in one of the most exciting M. Night Shayamalan films in a long time – and they already know how to market it. (See also a naked Jake Gyllenhaal, or a nude Jake Gyllenhaal, or a shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal.)
Ben Cohen is about to release his new calendar shot by the great Snooty Fox Images, and this tease is almost better than the real thing. Almost, as you can further investigate here.
Taylor Zakhar Perez has also been a Dazzler of the Day here, and stripped to his underwear here. Personally, I cannot wait for the sequel to ‘Red, White and Royal Blue’.
Another view of this cologne shoot for Dolce & Gabbana, classic white Speedo intact, closes up this shirtless post with Theo James filling out his suit to perfection. (For the naked backside shots, click here.)
Shape-shifter and chameleon Lee Pace transforms into a warlock for the much-hyped sequel ‘Practical Magic 2’ and while we have yet to see what part he plays in this witchy story, it’s another hairpin turn in a career of versatile roles. From an Elven king in ‘The Hobbit’ trilogy to the villainous Ronan in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ on the big screen through memorable performances in series like ‘Foundation’ and ‘Halt and Catch Fire’, Pace has consistently delivered mesmerizing work in wildly-disparate characters. Even bit parts in such brilliant fare as ‘A Single Man’ and ‘Infamous’ stand out thanks to his scene-stealing gumption. He earns this Dazzler of the Day thanks to sheer force of his talent – and he’s not bad to look at either.
When all else fails, we post a few shirtless male celebrities and call it a Friday. There’s a more substantial blog post coming up for tonight, but for now it’s just eye candy, starting with featured gentleman Brett Goldstein who was just crowned Dazzler of the Day here. From there we move on to Michael Johnston from this summer’s thriller ‘Obsession’, crowned for his own Dazzler of the Day here.
Ricky Martin is still shaking his bon-bon after all these years – a testament to his consistency and pop superstardom, and posts like these where he gets almost-naked and Speedo-clad.
Taylor Zakhar Perez is no stranger to showing up in his underwear, and making a spectacle of himself in the finest way imaginable. He closes out this brief collection of shirtless celebrities, a breath of fresh air and a return to what once made this blog so superficially grand.
Injecting a bit of fashionable brilliance into this feature, Brad Goreski is today’s Dazzler of the Day. Rightly renowned for his impeccable styling prowess and exquisite taste, Goreski has been honing his talents in Hollywood for years. This crowning is only the latest in a cavalcade of admiration and accomplishments.
Celebrating his current run of dates at Madison Square Garden, Harry Styles gave good face (and body) to W Magazine for this photo spread. That’s enough to close out this first day of September, but if you want a bit more, check out Harry Styles naked here, Harry in his underwear here, or Harry simply dazzling here.
You don’t need to tell me I’m very late to the Ted Lasso train, but I’ve just climbed aboard and watched the first few episodes – and I’m happy to say I’m almost hooked. If this is about hope in what feels like a hopeless time, and believing in something better when everyone around is pissing jaded negativity into the wind, I’m all for it. Hell, I’m in desperate need of that. It comes as Brett Goldstein makes his move to secure this Dazzler of the Day crowning thanks to these shirtless pics from Men’s Health UK. It doesn’t take much, but Goldstein has the entertainment pedigree and experience to cinch the title.
As the true villain of the magnificently twisted thriller ‘Obsession’, Michael Johnston delivers a chillingly nuanced performance that grounds the film in its human footing while never straying from the atrociousness that ends up enveloping everyone. For giving such villainy such a pretty face, Johnston handily earns this Dazzler of the Day crowning.
Ben Platt made a pop culture splash in the original Broadway production of ‘Dear Evan Hansen‘ and apparently has been building his body ever since as based on this sultry photo shoot. Bringing back tighty-whities in a very big way, he’s going retro hunk, embracing the hirsute and flaunting a fit and fine form. He’s been here before as a Hunk of the Day (when we used to have such a dated feature) but the only entry he has now is this one from a speech he gave. This photo shoot lines him up for a future Dazzler of the Day feature.
A lost opportunity perhaps, but I haven’t been minding much of the World Cup games that have gone on, aside from the one that took place near Boston on our recent BroSox Adventure. That may change with this crowning of Erling Haaland as Dazzler of the Day. Playing for Norway, Haaland has captured the hearts of many with his golden mane of flowing hair and washboard abs. Is there another point to this game?
Actor, comedian, and most decidedly NOT a piece of shit based solely on his own website, Evan Mulrooney handily gets crowned Dazzler of the Day for that clarification alone. His work on ‘Only Murders In The Building’, ‘Fargo‘, ‘Justified: City Primeval‘, and ‘South Side‘ – along with his social media hilarity – have righty made him a star. Coupled with his good looks and the build of a former football player, Mulrooney has made an enviable splash in the entertainment world. Watch his Insta space for good things to come.
Part of the dazzlingly-reimagined ‘Cats: The Jellicle Ball’ reinvigoration currently back on the prowl on Broadway, Sydney James Harcourt earns his first Dazzler of the Day crowning thanks to his charismatic portrayal of Rum Tum Tugger. No stranger to the treading and tearing up the boards, Harcourt has also been in ‘Hamilton‘ and ‘The Lion King’, ‘Girl From the North Country’ and ‘American Idiot’.
(PS – He also, ahem, ‘bartended’ for Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live!)
Harry Styles has been pumping out his disco-lite hits from his latest album ‘Kiss All the Time’ while donning short-shorts and tanks and pulling out all the funky stops. He’s tantalized the world before and gotten buck naked in movies as evidenced here and not-quite-here. Enjoy the moves, enjoy the music, enjoy the Styles.
Born all the way up and over in Alaska, Charles Melton has made the perilous journey from male model to actor with deft aplomb and sure footing, something not many models are able to accomplish. With notable roles on ‘Glee’ and ‘American Horror Story’, Melton earned his finest accolades from his role in ‘May December’ – and today he can add Dazzler of the Day to his impressive resume.
Stars of ‘Heated Rivalry’ (which, don’t hate me, don’t yell at me, I still have not yet seen), Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie make up the feature players in this simple skin-baring gratuitous post. You’ve seen them here before: Hudson Williams bares his butt here, while Connor Storrie bares his backside here.
Gratuitous nudity shots are harder to come by in these parts, and maybe it’s time to return to such frivolous guy-candy as the world burns. This website was never going to change the world; this website isn’t even regularly visited by my best friends. It’s all for my own personal amusement, so I might as well be amused, and delighted, and enthralled.
