TV Babe and Bro of the Week – March 21

March 21, 2012 1 Comment

Since I took a week off last week I’ve really got to bring it this week with the hot people, so without any ado, here are pictures of two incredibly attractive TV stars, both of which currently appear on Ryan Murphy-produced programs and are known also for making out with members of the same sex – one onscreen and one off.

First up is the very lovely Naya Rivera, breakout star of Fox’s Glee:

This is what everyone will look like in the future when all the races are one. Start breeding, mixed race couples!

Naya Rivera is basically the hottest woman in the world. Okay, when she dances on Glee she sometimes looks like a meth tweaker, but when she sings it’s as smooth as silk (and I don’t think that’s just the AutoTune). She’s funny, she can act, and as Santana she can sling an insult like nobody’s business. She turned that mostly non-speaking role on  the first season of Glee into a fearless portrayal of a lesbian struggling with one foot out of the closet. And did I mention she’s hot? Ohmigod. Way hot. Work it girl.

Next up is a man beloved in the nerd community (that’s me by the way), Zachary Quinto!

Zachary Quinto Heroes Star Trek

I wonder if any guy out there has ever asked him to put on the ears... Just saying.

Quinto stole all of our hearts as Spock in the 2009 update of Star Trek, but he first turned heads as the dashing villain Sylar on NBC’s ill-fated Heroes. Being the huge nerd I am, I LOVED the universally adored first season of Heroes. But like everyone else on the planet, I hated the subsequent seasons. But Quinto was the one actor from the show that always really stuck out to me – he played a tortured character and he was just… smouldering onscreen. He burned with intensity in every scene. It was hard not to have the hots for this guy. And luckily for all the boys of America (not so lucky for us hetero ladies), Zach came out last year – a secret to no one, for sure, but still a brave move for a burgeoning film star.

As always, leave suggestions for future Babes and Bros in the comments!!

TV Babe and Bro of the Week, Eh!

This week’s Babe and Bro of the Week are two TV stars, both from The Great White North, that are about to become mega huge movie stars.

First, in honor of his movie John Carter coming out this weekend (just saw a preview screening, and I have three words: Go see it!), we have our Bro of the Week, Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch!

If you plan on seeing John Carter, get used to looking at this man without a shirt.

Kitsch is basically the hunky embodiment of Tiger Beat magazine, but he’s also done projects that have endeared him to the male population – notably FNL and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he played a badass Gambit. It seems Kitsch is constantly cast as a Southerner (even John Carter is a Confederate war veteran), so I didn’t know he was hockey-playing Canuck until very recently. Taylor, I could have sworn you were one of our own!

Next is a woman who’s gonna rock your body till Canada Day…. Cobie Smulders!!

Cobie Smulders

I'd like to have an Old King Clancy with this bittie.

Smulders hails from Vancouver, BC, and I don’t know if they grow them extra hot up there to make up for the cold temperatures or what, but this girl is smokin’. Not only that, she’s also really, really funny as Robin Scherbatsky on How I Met Your Mother, where she plays a scotch-drinking TV journalist that used to be a Canadian teen pop sensation named Robin Sparkles (she’s basically my hero). This summer, she will get her big movie break playing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill in The Avengers, directed by geek god Joss Whedon (who seems to have an unnatural fascination with Smulders and even wanted her to play Wonder Woman).

And she really, really wants you to go to the mall.

Having fun at the mall is what it's all aboot.

Have any suggestions for future TV Babes or Bros of the week? Sound off in the comments!

TV Babe and Bro of the Week

Our very first TV Babe of the Week is comedy nerd’s dream Lizzy Caplan, who starred as Casey on the beloved Rob Thomas series Party Down, which I was lucky enough to watch last year on Netflix.

 

Lizzy Caplan

Let's not forget Matthew Perry has tapped this.

 

She’s currently appearing on Fox’s New Girl (unfortunately). It is my secret desire that she be cast as the titular Mother on How I Met Your Mother, because that would be awesome.

 

Our first TV Bro of the Week is (drumroll)…. John Francis Daley!

John Francis Daley

Sam Weir turned into this - whoda thunk it?

 

Daley currently has a supporting role on Fox’s Bones as Lance Sweets, but let’s be honest, we all still remember him for playing Sam Weir, lovable, adorable geek on ABC’s Freaks and Geeks. In a million years, I never would have guessed that he would have turned into such a squeal-inducing hottie. I mean, right now just typing this, there’s a little version of myself saying “ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod” racing around in my head.

 

And then my head exploded.

 

TV fans, have any suggestions for a Babe or Bro of the week? As always, must be a network (or Netflix) star in some capacity – so no Timothy Olyphant! (Sorry, ladies.)
