O England, I should watch football more often..


Carlton Cole. Soccer (or football) player for England in last summer's World Cup. I've never seen Burberry look so yummy. 

The faint of heart mayyyyyy want to shield their eyes for the next:

I didn't even know men were created like this...





Can we all just say in unison...HOT DAYUMMMMM!
Sidney Wilson, celebrity trainer, actor and model. I stumbled upon this fine
specimen as I was googling hot trainers (he blew the rest out of the water!).
You can even book Sidney for a personal training session! Let's just say
I'm going to be saving my money from now on to get some
one-on-one time with him :)

An American Icon



Jackie Robinson - the first black major league baseball player of our time. Even Time Magazine considers him to be one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century!

Where I can I get me one o' these..



Rob Evans = every girl's dream for the following reasons:
1) He's BRITISH.
2) He's a boxer turned model. 
3) His body.

He makes ya wanna say O




O Mekhi Phifer. 
He still knows what we did last summer.
He sure is sweet as honey
And if I ever get to tired running 8 mile, he can take me to the ER
What can I say, the boy is mine

I'll take you to the South Side

(of Chicago) to find this rapper turned 2011 Celebrity All-Star baller.



Common. Not only is he dabbling in acting to add to his already impressive music resume, but Common is also becoming quite the activist. Not to mention he's quite easy on the eyes (for being 38!).

Oh England, I'm so LOST



And my personal favorite is on imdb: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1876592896/nm0015382

Meet Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. He was born and raised in the U.K. before landing a role on Lost as Mr. Eko. He's a beast physically, but he also knows French, Italian, Yoruba, and Swahili (to name a few). Apparently he was in the Mummy Returns and Bourne Identity... you'd think I would remember seeing such a stud!

The man your man WISH he could smell like...

ISAIAH MUSTAFA!




Don't you wish you could just wake up to that?



Best known for those mouth-watering Old Spice Ads. After his commercials hit the air, not only did women want some of Isaiah's rock hard abs, but Old Spice sales went up 107%! Holy cow! This man definitely has the magic touch :)

X marks the spot.



Malcolm X - one of the most influential African American figures in history.

That's a great forehand ya got there!


Meet American tennis player James Blake. He attended (but then dropped out of) Harvard, and is high school bff Jills with John Mayer. I don't know how I like him bald, but he definitely looks more suave than he did with that crazy hair of his.

If only what happens on the Statefarm commercials were true..





This fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine young man is Mehcad Brooks. He was on True Blood Season 2 and he's in the new Statefarm Commercial. His hobbies are basketball and underwear modeling. Count me in!

Who has a feud with Jay-Z?

Nas does!



He may have like a billion children (and by that I mean two). I don't really listen to his music, but he's gotten a fair amount of Grammy nominations for it. Thanks to Kara for this recommendation, since she's been less than pleased with previous selections -- Here at the MEC, reader feedback/suggestions is always encouraged!

Jamaican Me Crazy!



Usain Bolt. One of the fastest men around - he sets world records at the Olympics, no big deal. He's 6'5", only 24, and has 3 gold medals. Freak of nature with really nice legs. Damn.

All's fair in love and ...

Basketball!




This delicious dark chocolate is Omar Epps. Best known for his role as Dr. Foreman in House, but who can forget Love and Basketball? How I wish I could play some one-on-one b-ball for his heart! But with my skills (or lackthereof), I wouldn't be winning anyone's heart.

I don't usually like the NBA but...


I would do Dwight Howard. I know he's probably a skeeze (aren't all basketball players), and I don't know anything more about him than that he plays on the Magic. It's kind of difficult to care with arms like his.

Great Debater or American Gangster?!

or both!




Could Denzel Washington BE anymore accomplished?! Just look at his filmography and the awards he's won. I've never seen Training Day all the way through, but maybe I will now.. He's a wee bit out of my age range (I am a self-proclaimed cougar), but I'm down. Who's down to fly over to UPenn with me to watch some bball games with D.Wash in the crowd???

I'll give you the green light



He serenades ladies all over the world with his silky voice - John Legend. He plays the piano (sweet!), graduated for Penn (that's an Ivy, folks!), and he's quite the philanthropist (awww!). How much more of a Renaissance man could he be!?

Oh Benin!

Talk about DARK chocolate



Djimon Hounsou. Best known for his role in Blood Diamond with lovely Leo DiCaprio. He's also quite a nice Calvin Klein model (if you couldn't tell by the first picture). With a body like that.. he's definitely 100% cocoa -- there is no milk in that mix.

What I would give to be Undercovers with...


Boris Kodjoe. I don't know much about him but to be honest I'm not really interested in his filmography. What I do care about are those ripped abs and gorgeous face. Sadly, he's married to a ridiculously pretty actress. Oh well, I can still dream...
