• I couldn’t resist posting this picture of Pamela Anderson at Life Ball 2009.  I have no idea what she’s doing but I love her whole look.  A lot of people on the internets talk a bunch of smack about Pammy but I heart her.  I always have.  Yes, she’s a little older but she looks a hell of a lot better in that outfit than any of you reading this.  She seems like someone who enjoys life and knows she’s only got a few more years to run around in bathing suits and she’s making the best of it.  Heart.  Her.
• Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni (or Rojo Caliente, as you may know her if you are an avid DListed reader) are engaged!  Good for them.  Now, if only New York can get on the ball and make it legal for them to do it here.  It really is shameful that Iowa legalized gay marriage before New York.
• Natalie Portman has addressed the Sean Penn rumors and says they are just friends.  I’m tempted to believe this because she rarely ever publicly addresses rumors or even her relationship.  That said, I’m pretty sure they did it at least once.  Sure, they are friends NOW but a few months ago…who knows.
• Are Cameron Diaz and Adam Levine (a NSG Hottie of 2008) an item?  They were spotted having lunch together this weekend which, in the gossip-sphere, means they are dating and in love.  Just watch, in a couple weeks Star Magazine is going to publish false engagement and/or pregnancy rumors.  Whatevs.  I don’t hate them together.  He’s a hot piece although seems a bit short for her.  It’s also important to note that he is the 2nd guy she’s dated after Jessica Simpson.
• For those of you who care, Shia LeBeouf is not packing heat downtown.  In his own words: “I am not extremely well endowed.”
• Katie Price and Peter Andre’s marriage suffered from a lack of sex.  According to a “friend”, Peter said they hadn’t done it since 2007.  Hot damn!  That beats my no sex record with The Ex.
• Britney spent $10,000,000 of the $12,000,000 she made last year.  Mostly on staffing, legal fees and whatever it is that K-Fed has been eating.
• Baby News!  It seems impossible to have a Dish without any.  Mel Gibson’s camp confirmed his girlfriend is in fact pregnant.  She’s in her second trimester which is interesting since he just filed for divorce in April.  Wonder what the Pope thinks of this.
• I am overjoyed to share this news with you…are you ready?…ok…here it is - Luke Perry is in negotiations to guest star on the new 90210.  Now, before you get your panties in a bunch, Star Magazine is reporting this so it’s possibly not true.  Even still, I hope it is.  I was THE biggest Dylan fan back in the day.  So much so that my dog’s name was Luke Perry [Insert My Last Name].  I hope this is true…Woot!

I love men and often leer lecherously at them.  What a better way to kick of the new site launch and the new year than with a list of the top 10 hotties of 2008?  This list does not represent the 10 hottest guys in the world but, the top 10 hotties I’ve discovered in 2008.  Enjoy!

#10 - Adam Levine

He’s been around for a while but it wasn’t until the new Maroon 5 album came out this year that I even really took notice.  Sure, he’s the size of a leprachaun and probably a major douche, but he unexplainably makes my insides yearn for him to treat me like crap and then write a song about it.

#9 - Michael C. Hall as Dexter

Please note that I specifically say Michael C. Hall as his serial killer character, Dexter.  On his own, MCH is not hot enough to make this list but add a touch of sociopath with a sprinkle of twisted morals and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a hottie.

#8 - Dave Annable

This guy should get a lot more press.  I’d never noticed him until I started working my way through Brothers & Sisters this year.  The whole wounded, addicted soldier character he plays on the show definitely adds to his hotness.

#7 - Zachary Levi

I want to date this guy.  He represents the kind of guy I think I would be great with.  He’s tall, got great hair, good teeth, seems super funny and a little socially awkward.  I’d also venture out to say that he’s packing a solid 8″ with some decent girth.  (Can you tell I’ve thought about him?)  Sadly, guys like him don’t tend to go for me.   Interesting side note - based on his name you would think he’s Jewish but he’s not.  His real last name is Pugh.  His parents were just really into biblical names.

#6 - Jermaine Clement

You may know Jermaine as one half of Flight Of The Conchords.  If you haven’t seen their show yet, you are really missing out.  It’s highlarious.   Even though there is something vaguely neanderthaloid about his appearance, I find him truly mesmerizing.  I spend like half the show laughing out loud and the other half imagining how he’d be in bed.  My guess is a little clumsy.  Bonus points for the Kiwi accent.

#5 - Julian McMahon

I have a hard on for Julian McMahon.  He’s been around for many years now but I only just discovered him this year when I started watching Nip / Tuck.  I’m not going to say much more on the subject of him because his photo speaks for itself.  PS - Check out the arm hair in the pics…yum.

#4 - Ryan Kwanten

This guy is cute but it’s his ass cheeks and obliques that get him the coveted #4 spot on this list.  Those of you who’ve watched True Blood are fully aware of what I’m talking about.  For those of you who haven’t, please reference the photo above.

#3 - Ed Westwick

He’s hot.  If you must know the reason’s I think so, just click on his tag and read everything I’ve already written about him.  I often refer to him as my second favorite dirty British boy.

#2 - Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Yes, this is the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun but he is all grown up now.  He did a GQ photoshoot with Claudia Schiffer that is too hot for words.  If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out.

#1 - Robert Pattinson

No surprise here.
