WoW - Wallpaper of the Week
Here's another of those complete opposite posts.
First is he who hits the big 4-0 today, one of the first Real World-ers, Eric Nies. Hard to believe the first Real World premiered back in '92, almost twenty years ago. It ushered in the end of MTV as a music video channel only, and started the whole reality show trend, for good or ill. Mostly ill, imho.
Anyway, Eric was a bright spot. A hot, hunky, oft-times shirtless bright spot. He wasn't even 21 when he started the show. Then he went on to exploit that body in exercise videos and other ventures. Nowadays he's let himself go in the grooming department, but still seems to have a pretty slammin' bod.
From beefy and American to pretty and British, we turn to Gregg Sulkin, who'll be 19 later on this week. I stumbled across him on Wizards of Waverly Place. Yes, I watch it; it's a fun and silly show, so sue me. Anyway, Gregg is cute as a button, and the accent just adds to that. It'll be interesting to see where he'll be in twenty years. Big star or "Confessions of a Teen Idol: The Next Generation"? Only time will tell.
Other birthdays this week:
• Chris Colfer (22)
• Mark Hapka (26)
• Darin Brooks (28)
• Lane Garrison (32)
• Jesse Bradford (33)
• Adam Rickett (34) (previously featured)

WoW - Wallpaper of the Week
This week, we have two guys with a superhero connection of sorts. One's played one, the other would like to.
The latter is reality star, model, and all-around fitness guy Scott Herman. He'll be 26 on Friday. Scott wants to play Captain America. Seeing him in the costume, I'd give him the part. Wasn't sure if he was tall enough, so I checked and found out he's 5'10". I would think Cap should be over 6 feet tall, and Scott "reads" shorter to me on screen. I thought he was more like 5'8".
As it is, Hollywood went in another direction. Which, let's face it, not the worst idea in the world.
Maybe Scott could start out as a supporting character in the prequel to 300, or on Spartacus: Blood and Sand.
By the way, regarding the last wallpaper above of Scott. Never done a "behind-the-scenes" wallpaper before, but when I saw that picture, I thought I'd give it a go. The result speaks for itself. You gotta love a guy who looks good coming or going.
To find out more about Scott, check him on Facebook and Twitter.
Next is somebody who has played a superhero. The most iconic superhero, in fact. Superman himself. That actor would be Brandon Routh, who turns 31 on Saturday. His last name rhymes with "mouth", and he sure does have a purty one. He played the Man of Steel in Superman Returns. Only seen the movie in bits on TV, but he acquits himself well. Sadly, it looks like that will be the only time he plays the role, since his Superman contract expired last year, and TPTB want to go in a "darker" direction. God help us all.
He has found work after, getting a regular part on Chuck earlier this year. To see more of him back in his soap days, lookie here.
