NBC.com gets hunky

In an obvious nod to the success of soaphunks.net (hee hee), nbc.com has just unveiled a new photo journal called "The Top 10 Reasons Summer Will Be Hot" which includes 70+ fairly high-quality pics of DAYS' James Scott, Kyle Brandt, Bryan Dattilo, Austin Peck, and Darin Brooks & PASSIONS' Adrian Bellani, Eric Martsolf, Charles Divins, Galen Gering, and Mark Cameron Wystrach. Bellani's pics are drool-worthy (check out that arm vein!), but Martsolf's nice pecs-spilling-out shots are the most revealing.

You can check it all out at http://www.nbc.com/Daytime/hunks. There's also an NBC MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/nbcdaytime with lots more pics and some cute video clips.

'Tuck' Watch-kins

Two soap hunks will be appearing on FX's upcoming fourth season of "Nip/Tuck."

First, Y&R's Thad Luckinbill will guest star as a young man who sugar daddy (Richard Chamberlain) wants to nip/tuck him into his own spitting image. Why anyone would want to change Thad's looks is beyond me, but whatever...

Also, B&B has bumped the studly Mario Lopez to recurring status (after never giving him anything to do in the first place...honestly, Brad Bell, what was the point?). Mario's first post-B&B gig will indeed be a homoerotic guest spot on "Nip/Tuck." Skinning seems to be a sure thing.
