Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello: “Magic Mike” reunion

Best buds Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello posed for photographers at the 8th annual GSLEN (Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network) Respect Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Friday, October 5th, 2012 in Beverly Hills, California. The duo, who know each other since college, are rockin’ a sexy scruffy look that makes them even more irresistible!

Joining Matt at the event was his longtime partner Simon Halls. The power couple, who are parents to three boys: Kit, Walker and Henry, took home the 2012 Inspiration Award last night for their commitment and dedication to causes including GLSEN.

Longtime supporter of GLSEN, and Matt’s White Collar co-star Willie Garson was also in attendance.  Matt must have been so happy to have such supportive friends like Joe and Willie in the audience!

The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network strives to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

Joe Manganiello suits up for “End of Watch” premiere

True Blood hottie Joe Manganiello stepped out for the End of Watch premiere held at Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE Stadium 14 on Monday, September 17th, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. He looked all kinds of hot in a smart black suit, white shirt and skinny black tie.

Ol’ Joe was spotted by one of our spies earlier in the day getting buff at a local gym with cornrows in his hair!  I’m kind of sad he didn’t leave them in for the red carpet so we could have checked out the look.  I’m sure he got all hot and messy during his workout session and had to wash his hair before catching the premiere but maybe he will get them put in again?

End of Watch stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña as two young officers who are marked for death after confiscating a small cache of money and firearms from the members of a notorious cartel, during a routine traffic stop. The Twilight Saga star Anna Kendrick also stars.

Do you want to see Joe in cornrows as bad as I do?

Unleash your inner vamp with HSN’s new True Blood inspired beauty collection

Last year at San Diego Comic Con, I had the pleasure to meet the Tarte team who were giving a select few make-overs from their True Blood make-up collection at The Wired Cafe. So hearing news that HSN was teaming up with various brands to unveil an entire beauty line made me quite giddy!

The Forsaken Collection will include an Eau de Parfum, a body cream and shimmering body veil powder created by Givaudan. So will the line’s eponymous scent smell like Eau de Eric Northman? Here are the details according to the press release.

The fragrance is evocative of the dark and seductive world of True Blood, capturing the soul of the show and combining it with trendsetting, iconic products. Prominent fragrance house Givaudan developed Forsaken with an addictive blend of light and dark notes. Pulpy fruits paired with crisp pear notes are followed by mid notes of night blooming jasmine, also fittingly known as Queen of the Night. The scent closes with the dark muskiness of amber and patchouli. Ultra feminine, yet sultry, the fragrance will cast a spell on everyone.

Nail Lacquer giant Deborah Lippmann will be incorporating the Forsaken fragrance into a polish aptly named, “Let It Bleed” alongside a matching lipstick (her first foray into a lip product!) named, “Bite Me.” But wait, there is more! The brand also created two additional sets for the collection: “Sookie Sookie” featuring full-size “Human Nature,” “Fairydust” and “Bad Things;” and a trio of minis including “Strange Love,” “New Flesh” and “Bad Blood.”

And for those nights when you want to play “Sookie takes Bill” or “Sookie hearts Bill,” or even “Sookie gets wolfy with Alicide,” your home can also get the True Blood treatment! Luxury candles and diffusers with the Forsaken scent developed by Givaudan will also be part of the collection.

The Forsaken collection will be spotlighted on HSN with four, one hour segments running throughout the day on August 9, starting at 12:01 a.m. How long do you think it will be on the screen before its sold out? Not very long so I suggest you set-up a calendar reminder immediately!

True Blood stars Alexander Skarsgard, Stephen Moyer, Anna Paquin, Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Joe Manganiello, Nelsan Ellis, Kristin Bauer van Straten, and Deborah Ann Woll.

Double Hotness: Joe Manganiello pals around with Alex Pettyfer

What better way to welcome the weekend than with Magic Mike hotties Joe Manganiello and Alexy Pettyfer? The co-stars seem to have bonded nicely on the set (which shot in both Florida and California) were photographed having a laugh at the Planet Dailies And Mixology 101 Grand Opening held at Planet Dailies & Mixology 101 on Thursday, April 5, 2012 in Los Angeles.

The bromance is not exclsive to Joe and Alex. The boys have been spotted spending quality boy time with fellow hot dudes Matt Bomer and Channing Tatum!

As we inch closer and closer to the premiere date of the stripper film based loosely on Tatum’s life experiences, I hope we get to see a lot more of the guys out and about together. ( I do LOVE a good bromance!)

Magic Mike opens on June 29th, 2012.

Anne Rice has fangirl moment with ‘True Blood’ hunk Joe Manganiello

It’s so fun to see celebrities have fangirl/boy moments with the people they most admire! Thanks to her son Christopher, famed author Anne Rice enjoyed a special visit from True Blood hunk Joe Manganiello during the signing of her new book The Wolf Gift held at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove on February 17, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

What a perfect situation for Anne, who wrote Interview with a Vampire, to have a small screen werewolf make such an appearance!

Saturday morning, I was reading my Facebook updates when I saw the following fangirl message from Anne Rice herself!

My signing at B&N at the Grove in Los Angeles began with an enormous surprise. My son Christopher had promised this, and a surprise it was: in walked Joe Manganiello (magnificent werewolf Alcide of True Blood) with a bouquet of flowers! I almost died of fan fainting on the spot. He was as beautiful in person as he is on the screen, and irresistibly charming. He escorted me to the table to begin the signing. I am still in a mild state of delicious shock.

We love him too so we totally get what you were feeling Anne!

You can purchase The Wolf Gift right now at the link.

Plus if Anne has her way, Joe’s college buddy Matt Bomer will play the role of the wolf in a feature film!

Bromance Alert: Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello battle it out on the field

No one loves a good bromance more than I do, so you can imagine my excitement over another set of photos featuring my favorite bromantic duo, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello! Not only did Joe just guest star on buddy Bomer’s hit USA show White Collar last week, but they recently wrapped up their new film, Magic Mike (yes the highly anticipated stripper film!) which is getting ready to hit theaters this summer.

These latest images show Manganiello and Bomer at DIRECTV’s Sixth Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl Game held at Victory Field on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can bet these old college chums plan to catch the game together later today!

I, for one, hope that the next move for Bomer is a guest starring role on Joe’s hit HBO show True Blood! How awesome would it be to see that blue eyed babe with a set a fangs?

Swoon!

Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello pose pretty for ‘Haywire’ premiere

It’s not even June 29th, the date the long-awaited Magic Mike movie is unleashed onto the world, but Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello are already giving us a tiny preview! The pretty pair stepped out for the premiere of Relativity Media’s Haywire held at DGA Theater on Thursday, January 5th, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

Neither actor star in the film but their co-star in the stripper film Channing Tatum stars in this action/thriller and Steven Soderbergh serves as director of both films! Gotta love what a supportive bunch they are!

According to Manganiello, all the boys bonded during the shooting of Magic Mike and this red carpet appearance proves how friendly they all are.

“Usually when you’re done with projects, you promise to stay in touch with everyone, and you don’t. On this one, we all have, and we all hang out, and we all talk to each other during the week. So we’ve bonded.”

He also credits former stripper Tatum, on who the film is loosely based on, as being the best dancer of the lot.

“Oh, Channing, by far. He’s like on another level. Obviously, he’s got more experience,” Joe told MovieFone.com at the event.

Haywire hits theaters on January 20th. Also don’t forget to tune in to the season premiere of White Collar starring the blue-eyed Bomer on January 17th, 2012, only on USA Network.
