Eye Candy 12/26

Female Hottie: Leslie Bibb

This week's female hottie, Leslie Bibb is referred to numerous times as the "Smokin' hot wife" in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Looking at this leggy blonde, its not hard to see why they chose her for that role. She has also appeared in Private Parts, The Skulls, Nip/Tuck, Crossing Jordan, ER, Popular,Law Abiding Citizen, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, and is set to be seen in the upcoming comedy Zookeeper. I'm sure we'll always have plenty of opportunities to see this hottie.

Male Hottie: Jason Statham

This week's male hottie, Jason Statham, has been described as this generation's Bruce Willis. Not exactly sure what that means, but whatever. I am becoming a bigger fan of this guy by the day, though, as long as he keeps making mindless action flicks that are just fun to watch like Crank, Death Race, Crank 2: High Voltage and "normal" movies like The Transporter trilogy, War, and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. This guy's career is on the upswing and showing no sings of slowing down. He was last seen in the testosterone-laden movie The Expendables.

Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Lauren Graham

This week's random hottie is best known as being the mother on Gilmore Girls, although if you've ever watched even part of that show you know that it's rather hard to tell who the mother is and who the daughter is. She also has had a few film roles including the one that earned her this spot, Bad Santa. You know, she's the one that has a Santa fetish. One must wonder where she drew inspiration from for that role.

MILF: Amy Adams

It is well documented in these posts that I have a thing for redheads, so its really no surprise that she would eventually make this list, right? Amy Adams first reached mainstream success with Enchanted. Since then, her career has been red hot, with appearances in a variety of movie genres. She was last seen in The Fighter and is filming The Muppets. In May, she gave birth to her first child, a baby girl.

Classic/Retro Hottie: Lainie Kazan

Looking at that picture right there, and looking at her now, one would never believe that they are the same person, but that is indeed Lainie Kazan. Back in the day, she was quite the hottie. She even appeared in Playboy! Kazan's resume includes stints on Broadway, film, and television. Currently, she can be seen on Desperate Housewives

Death

It seems as if every year, someone that has an impact on my life seems to die on Xmas. A couple years ago it was James Brown, last year, it was my elementary school bus driver, and this year it was my favorite uncle.

Apparently, he passed away yesterday peacefully in his sleep. At least he didn't suffer. Darn cancer!

I'm not sure if I'll go to the funeral or not. I just don't think I could handle it, but we'll see.

To you and yours...

Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his present remembered. What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day. - Phyllis Diller
