Just in on Justin: Hartley, who just left PASSIONS, has been cast as He Who Will Eventually Be Aquaman in the "Smallville" spinoff, "Mercy Reef." Sounds like Speedo Heaven. :)

Scott Bailey out at GL

In a really dumb move (if you ask me), GL has just axed arguably its hottest hunk, Scott Bailey. He will air through mid-March.

Awesome news! After already snapping up Antonio Sabato, Jr., it was announced today that The Bold and the Beautiful has now signed "Saved by the Bell" alum Mario Lopez to a contract role. There are few men hunkier than Mr. Lopez, so expect PLENTY of pics of him to debut on the B&B page soon!

GH is soooo overrated! And where were the much-deserved nods for John-Paul Lavoisier and Jacob Young? Still thrilled about Soffer and Dawson. NBC tossed to the wolves as usual. And why can't OLTL get any love anymore?

James Scott axed at AMC

British hottie James Scott (Ethan Cambias) has been let go from AMC, and most likely the character will be killed off. Scott joined the show in the summer of 2004 but has spent much of the past year languiishing on the backburner. Scott did just win two 2005 Soaphunks.net Awards (Best Abs and Best Hair), and he finished in 7th place in the Adonis 2005 contest.

I, for one, will sorely miss this gorgeous man. Here's hoping he returns to daytime soon.
