Cash Cab Cutie?

I'm trying to decide if I should have a bromance (w/ benefits) crush on host of Discovery Channel's CASH CAB, Ben Bailey. What is it with me and the guys on the Discovery Channel?! Would someone invite me to their company Holiday Party for chrissakes?! Ben Bailey is a cab driver slash game show host. How many people can say that? The fact that he can multi-task to that degree is kinda sexy. In general, though, I have to say that "cab driver" is just about the WORST job I can think of, and dating a cab driver is 100% un-sexy. So, we're back to zero. He has a great sense of humor. Not only is he driving AND hosting a game show, but he's fun and funny while he's doing it. He rolls with the punches in a way that's very sexy. However, he's a comedian which is kinda un-sexy. So, slight point in his favor on that one. Well, look at him! He's a big, meaty hunk. Yum! Though he does have a stern side. After starring in the film BAD MEAT, he enjoyed a few TV guest spots including a role on my favorite usta-be-on show, HOPE AND FAITH starring the incredibly awesome Kelly Ripa. Six degrees, people! CASH CAB has been on for a few years now, so Ben Bailey is making a good living. What do you think, potatoes? Is Ben Bailey a good catch? Straight or gay? Funny or goofy? Help me out here, people.

The Soup: Clipdown '08

Don't tell my dog, but I have a crush on Lou from TV's THE SOUP. Thank you Jeebus for THE SOUP's CLIPDOWN '08 PART II this week. What a GREAT way to start the new year (by looking back and laughing at last year)! I was originally perturbed that E! broke the Clipdown into 2 parts, but I now see the wisdom behind their madness. Perhaps one of the best things about both CLIPDOWN shows was how quickly Joel slammed his way through the lists of clips. These shows were as lean as a West Hollywood body builder. No fat. All clips. Thank you, Joel McHale, for sharing TV's bounty with me (and, y'know, everyone else too). You've AAAAALMOST restored my faith in TV. You've definitely restored my faith in cuteness.

You Ask, I Answer! Is Time Warp's Jeff Lieberman Gay?

One of the pages on The Sectional that gets the most traffic is my diptych about sexy scientist Jeff Lieberman co-host of Discovery Channel's kick-ass series TIME WARP, and the number one Google search query the brings folks to The Sectional is some combination of the keywords "jeff lieberman gay" Well, welcome! lovers (and potential lovers) of Jeff Lieberman. Based on the snazzy underpants Jeff Lieberman is sporting in the photo, you'd think he was gay for sure. But, based on Mr. Lieberman's Facebook page, he's "single" and "Interested In: Women" :-( Sorry to disappoint hundreds of thousands of gay and curious men around the world. The show is still cool as hell, and Jeff Lieberman keeps an up-to-date fascinating web site at the sexy URL (how often do you hear that term?!) bea.st So, just a bit more Jeff gossip for the Jeffans out there: "Someday soon he'll be Dr. Lieberman, courtesy of the Robotic Life group at the MIT Media Lab, studying ways in which art and science can be combined to bring people together in fundamentally new ways." That's a personal mission statement I can get behind. He likes ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, MR. SHOW, and MacGYVER. He also is a frequent traveler and avid photographer and sculptor/builder. There's a great video about the synergy of art and robotics on Current TV which includes Jeff.
Anyone for a shirtless Jeff? YUM! I thought so! Enjoy him ladies, you got lucky THIS time!

Another Hottie Goes Home

Once again a reality show has lost its damn mind and sent home a hottie early. My biggest problem with STEP IT UP & DANCE --the Bravo dance/reality show starring the first person everyone thinks of when they think of stripping, I mean dancing, Elizabeth Berkeley-- was always that it started off with 3 or 4 shows featuring the outer fringes of dance which sent a few of the stronger dancers home in favor of people with dance training whose super-charged reality-show persona's pushed them past elimination for a week too many. Then, they finally get around to doing straight-forward (ha ha) Broadway musical theatre, which was Oscar's forté. He's done a number of Broadway shows, so clearly he's "good enough" for Broadway. And, at least 3 of the remaining contestants would have been literally laughed out of a Broadway audition --laughed at by everyone. And, yet, Oscar was sent packing for reasons I still don't understand. He was "peessed" (see photo right) to be put in the elimination group in the first place and rightfully so! Then, he clearly wiped the floor with Michael in BOTH performances (Michael was SO bad the first time, they had to do their number again) and he got sent home. Oh, sweet beautiful Oscar! I'll miss your aDORable accent, and your elegance. You've got so much poise it's flying out of your ass. You were robbed! I hope you enjoy a long and successful career. Stay cute!
