The new haircuts of Mitch Hewer and James Marsden were nothing to write home about, but 52% of Charmants.com readers already think Mitch’s new look is a catastrophe. The poll is still open. More worthy of a letter home were the first part of our interview with Chris Leabu, the black speedo of Duda Nagle, Hunter Parrish appearing naked in Weeds–even though nobody can really compete with Scott McQuade’s backside–, and Charlie Hunnam bound to seduce Daniel Craig in a forthcoming biopic about roman emperor Hadrian.

100% of our athletes had something–or somebody–to lose. Volleyball player Sean Scott lost his chance to go to Beijing, world-class tennis hunks lost their shirts in Cincinnati, Cristiano Ronaldo lost his trunks in Los Angeles, dancer Roberto Bolle lost all modesty in GQ, and track and field champion Asafa Powell lost yours truly in a whirlwind of desire.

Other cyclones and typhoons were triggered by the return of the military style in Unvogue, the freckled skin of Fabio Cimi, the tears in the eyes of Didio’s boys, Chris Whelan hugging that girl and Adrien Falcou draping his naked body in a French flag. But hyperactive Nic Haas and Colombian underwear model Juan David Echeverri were the real category five hurricanes.
