The New "It" Boy?

Meet Freddie Stroma. You may have seen him in theaters portraying Cormac McLaggen in the record-breaking sixth installment of the Harry Potter franchise. He's also currently starring in my fantasies. Smokin'. Charming, too. Are we witnessing the birth of the next "it" boy?

From where I'm standing, the title of Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming bundle of muscles and testosterone is up for grabs. The fervor around Chace Crawford, who recently celebrated his 24th birthday, has died down to a quiet simmer. Zefron is now too good for musicals (Footloose would have been awesome), too dumb to drop Vanessa Hudgens, and, frankly, too boring to garner much attention. Reigning hottie Robert Pattinson is still really hot in the Twilight movie and he does have a second one on the way. But as for the in-between time, while RPattz is still as pale and broody as Edward Cullen, he's pale and broody without lighting. Lighting is key. Recent photos of him strolling around NYC kinda kill the magic.

And, let's not forget that RPattz got his big break starring in the fourth Harry Potter film. If Freddie can land himself another prominent role, he can rise up the ranks fairly quickly. I, for one, humbly suggest that he do it wearing as little clothing as possible. Like this: check out his new Acne underwear advertisement.

Channing "G.I. Joe" Tatum does GQ

Go Joe! So I was all about Chan when he first started getting work a few years back and then he did that awful movie with Amanda Bynes, it became painfully clear that he's got absolutely nothing between his ears, and I got over it. But, over the last few years I've re-prioritized and decided it's what's between the legs that count! Chan Tate here is pushing 30 and still smokin'. *Swoon.*

Check out the rest of Channing's spread...

How does the Chan compare to RPattz?
How about Zefron?

RiRi goes Canadian, eh? - Rihanna & Drake

Rihanna is officially over Chris "Shit Stain" Brown (hooray!). Rumor has it that Riri is getting cozy with Canadian actor-turned-rapper Drake, real name Aubrey Graham and better known to us Degrassi-heads as Jimmy Brooks. Now, this is a good look. I have the utmost faith in Drizzy's good intentions and actually hope that the rumor mill has it right this time. I mean, he was easily the best boyfriend on Degrassi. By a long shot. Drake is finally getting some decent exposure for his music; he's featured on a great remix of Santigold's Unstoppable along with Lil Wayne and his debut single, Best I Ever Had, is climbing the Billboard charts. I'm sure fans of Degrassi are proud of Drake's budding success, but can I just say how nice it is just to see him standing erect? Lol. The wheelchair treatment was so grimy.

So, yeah. Cute (potential) couple, yes? Drake has denied the rumors regarding their romance, but it's understandable that Rihanna might be hesitant to be public about her relationships after the Chris fiasco. The pair have reportedly been seen kissing all over NYC this past week. How hot and exciting. I could use a romance like this. Hey, Riri, if it doesn't work out, could you send Drizzy my way? I could use some Canadian lovin'.

Zac "Lord of the Tweenyboppers" Efron Does GQ

Not to be outdone by Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron does his own spread for GQ. I'm not that crazy about Zac, but the boy is pretty, isn't he? Click here to check out the other photos. (I especially like the one where he rocks the Gucci jeans and nothing else...)

Hot New Couple: Kyle XY & Aaron Samuels

Rumor has it that Matt Dallas and Jonathan Bennett, better known as Kyle XY and Aaron Samuels respectively, are getting it on. Hott. I think this just goes to show that a hot romantic linking can make you relevant in Hollywood, even if the parties involved are less than A-list separately. With the floundering Kyle XY ending next week and 2004's Mean Girls still standing as Bennett's most prominent role, they would be wise to get jobs. Like, now. Or at least do a steamy shoot together. That would be grool.

Update: I tried to ignore this for a while, but it seems Kyle XY and Aaron Samuels have broken up. By all accounts, things didn't end well. Perhaps this had something to do with Jonathan wanting to come out publicly and Matt preferring the closet? Either way, opportunity squandered! This has easily been the best press they've gotten during their entire careers. They should have capitalized! Or at least given us that photo shoot! How ungrool.

Check out these other hotties who know how to capitalize on a good opportunity!!
