Photos

If you’re done with planking, and you don’t have the pool required for leisure diving, or the friend required for horsemaning, maybe the latest photo game called “stocking” is for you.

To play, all you have to do is find a stock photo of somebody doing one of the mundane things that are featured in stock photos, and then try to replicate that pose as best you can. The blog Stocking Is the New Planking is the official clearing house for these images of imitation, a few of which you can check out below.

A man in uniform? We like, we like. Two uniforms? SIGH. Such is the case for actor Daniel Sunjata, who plays firefighter Franco Rivera on ‘Rescue Me’ and nurse Eli on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ He’s unique and exotic, and has an absolutely flawless smoldering gaze.

The stars turned out on the red carpet — or should we say black carpet? — for the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Celebs included Justin Bieber, who rocked a pair of scholarly specs, and Jessie J, who rocked a pair of bedazzled crutches and a cast (the singer sprained her foot at a recent live show).

Congrats to Damian McGinty on his “The Glee Project” win Sunday night… and a big thank you, too. A seven-episode arc on ‘Glee‘ featuring his fresh-faced Irish charm? Yes, please. The 18-year-old tied with Samuel Larsen in a surprising twist to the reality show’s ending. (The two winners each get a multi-episode cameo in the hit TV series.)

All things being equal, it doesn’t seem terribly likely that any of us will end up frolicking on in the surf with Taylor Swift anytime soon.

If you don’t want your kids braving the mystery meat this school year, the first thing you need is a super-cool lunchbox. Here are some of our faves:

He may have scared the you-know-what out of TV audiences as Stringer Bell on ‘The Wire,’ but nobody can deny the intense sex appeal of British hunk Idris Elba.

At 38, Elba’s career has never been better. He’s appeared in everything from big-screen movies like ‘Thor’ to hit TV shows like ‘The Office.’ He also just picked up two — count ‘em — two Emmy nominations, one for his work on ‘The Big C’ and one for the BBC miniseries ‘Luther.’ (With looks this good, who wouldn’t want to nominate him twice?)

Though he’s since calmed down significantly, Colin Farrell will always be one of Hollywood’s most notorious — and sexiest — bad boys.

Sure, he’s pulled his fair share of stunts in the past (lest we forget this travesty), but the 35-year-old hunk from Ireland is the type who could do a bad thing one day, then make up for it the next day with a simple wink and a smile.

Rugby never really caught on in America. Which is really a shame, because we’re missing out on some serious eye candy from across the pond. Like Ben Cohen.

Though he retired in May, the 32-year-old – and oftentimes shirtless – hunk from England had tongues wagging for years with his killer moves both on and off the rugby field, and went on to become England’s 10th-highest point scorer of all time.

Jason Momoa may not be a household name yet, but that could all change with the release of ‘Conan the Barbarian,’ in which the hunky 32-year-old from Hawaii stars as the titular character.

Momoa, who began his career as a model, has been a pretty consistent presence on TV, with roles on ‘Baywatch’ and ‘Stargate Atlantis.’ Currently, you can catch him on the Emmy-nominated HBO series ‘Game of Thone,’ on which he plays Khal Drogo.

Sure, he didn’t win the heart of Ashley Hebert on last season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ but that doesn’t make Blake Julian any less cute.

And like the best things in life, Ashley’s loss is turning out to be our gain. Beginning tonight at 8PM ET/PT, the hunky 28-year-old dentist from Greenville, SC, will be one of many competing for $250,000, not to mention another shot at love, on this season of ‘Bachelor Pad.’
