Eric Martsolf just can't vote for himself

Ah, a man with standards! Adonis 2007 finalist (and 2006 winner) Eric Martsolf from Passions just feels like he can't vote for himself. (Martsolf's hunky co-star and co-finalist Adrian Bellani doesn't have such hangups!)

No word on James Scott's voting ethics was available at press time. :)

Two new hunks headed to Pine Valley

AMC has just hired two new hunks in contract roles, and both will be making their debut in Pine Valley soon.

Billy Miller (left) will play Wes, a hunk set to be getting involved with Babe, who may be recast if or when Alexa Havins leaves the show. (Havins' hunky hubby Justin Bruening left AMC last week after more than four years.)

Also joining the show is Sterling Sulieman as Dre, who will form one third of a love triangle with Colby and Sean.

Both look mighty purdy to me!

THE KISS IS HERE!

Everyone say HALLELUJAH!



Airing Friday on ATWT, this is indeed daytime's first ever gay male kiss. About damn time.

And a note to TPTB at ATWT: Thank you.

Tuc Watkins: 'Desperate' househusband

Wisteria Lane is about to get more than it bargained for. During Desperate Housewives' upcoming fourth season, a gay couple is set to move onto television's most scandalous street. And Entertainment Tonight is now reporting that OLTL's sexy-and-funny-as-hell Tuc Watkins will indeed play one of the pair.

Watkins recently concluded a hilarious limited run in Llanview and is due back for another later this year, which means daytime's favorite bad boy will be pulling double duty for ABC.

DAYS' Marcus Patrick bares all in Playgirl

In the first case of a daytime soap star going full frontal in the pages of Playgirl in more than two decades, new DAYS hottie Marcus Patrick (Jett Carver) graces the cover of the September 2007 issue. He follows plenty of other soap hunks by appearing in the studly magazine, but he's the first soap stud since GH's Steve Bond to bare all. (B&B's Winsor Harmon and DAYS alum Victor Webster did flaunt their booties, but nothing around front.)

Many of the pictures are also available in the DAYS section. (Sorry, you'll have to go elsewhere for the frontals: soaphunks.net is PG-13!)

Marcus is clearly being positioned as daytime's new Shemar Moore (who, coincidentally, was also caught fully exposed recently by the tabloids). He certainly has the face, body, and apparently the swagger for the job!

Way to go, Marcus (and powers that be at DAYS for permitting it)! Let this be a lesson to your fellow soap hunks!
