Hot or not?

Hot or not?

by Ellie on July 23, 2010

It’s been a while….

But absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

Last time on ‘Hot or not?’ David Beckham was given the thumbs up. But only on the proviso he kept his pretty mouth shut, that is. It seems poor Mr Beckham won’t be needing to whisper sweet nothings around here anytime soon. I bet he’s sobbing into his coco pops as I type.

This weeks gentleman is a modern Hollywood icon. He’s a diverse actor with a glittering career and can hold his own acting among cinematic heavy weights. He wooed Juliet through a fish tank, went a little crazy on a beach, joined a gang in New York, oh, and he was once  drowned at sea, after Kate Winslet made a titanic mistake letting go of his hand. Silly girl.

Who could this talented chap be? Let’s find out.

Leonardo DiCaprio, hot or not?

At the ripe old age of 35 Mr DiCaprio has built up a pretty damn impressive body of work. Currently on the big screen in Inception, he’s starred in some of the most talked about, and critically acclaimed films of our time. Working with directors and producers most actors can only dream of being employed by.

But all that aside, given a day pass would I, you know? Ermmmm, yes! Probably. Although he does have a strange resemblance to a bumble bee. Or is that just me?

It’s not my call though. You decide…..

Hot or not?

by Ellie on June 11, 2010

It’s back!

After a short break, not sunning itself in any part of the world, ‘Hot or not?’ has returned!

Last time Gino D’Acampo & James Martin showed us their, ahem, culinary credentials over at English Towers. Mr Martin and his Yorkshire Puddinginess (it is a real word, ’cause I say so) definitely out cheffed Mr D’Acampo.

So, back to this week’s contender. Unless you’ve been down a well for the last 12 months, the fact that the FIFA World Cup has begun probably won’t have escaped your attention. So what better way to kick off than with one of England’s greats.

He’s one half of one of the biggest celebrity brands ever to come out of the UK and his football career will be talked about for decades to come.

Who is the man with the Golden Balls?

Yep, you knew it, David Beckham, hot or not?

He may no longer be in the England squad, but for my generation, for a long time this man was the England squad. He’s one of Britain’s most iconic sportsmen. He bagged himself a Spice Girl and, no doubt with a lot of hard work, became British Celebrity Royalty. The boys wanted to be him and the girls (and boys) wanted to be with him.

He’s a husband, a father and possibly one of the hardest working celebrities out there. Love him or loathe him, you cannot deny the boy’s done good.

Not bad going for a boy from Leytonstone.

It’s not my call though, you decide….

Hot or not?

May 21, 2010

It’s back! After a short break, ‘Hot or not?’ has returned! Yay! Last time Matt Smith & Karen Gillan (aka The Doctor & Amy Pond) were definitely in receipt of a split vote, with the hot vote falling most certianly on Ms Gillan’s time travelling shoulders. I can’t say I disagree, she is rather stunning! [...]

Another delayed ‘Hot or not?’. I could do with a Time Lord to find me an extra four hours a day! Last week George Clarke, Channel 4′s ‘Restoration Man’, left quite a few of you on the on the fence. He can come round to mine and draw me up some plans anytime! This week [...]

It’s the weekend, and a Bank Holiday no less! How about a bit of ‘Hot or not?’ to get the weekend started? Last week John Corbett of ‘Northern Exposure’ and ‘Sex and the City’ fame, was fairly widely appreciated, but only with cropped locks. It appears weak, dull, lifeless hair is not just an affliction [...]

Hot or not?

April 25, 2010

You may notice that this week’s ‘Hot or not?’ is slightly later than usual. A short, well deserved family break and a little blogoliday temporarily suspended play. But, as they say, better late than never! Last week Milo Ventimiglia was yet another vote splitter with some even describing him as ‘a bit geography teacher looking‘. [...]

It’s Friday and here on Insomniac Mummy, you know that can only mean one thing. ‘Hot or not?’ time! Last week Mark-Paul Gosselaar was stuck in the middle ground. Some were pleased to see a blast from the past, whilst others quite simply had no clue who he was. This week’s gentleman is a geek [...]

So, you may notice that your favourite Friday feature has accidentally slipped into Saturday. Many apologies. A rather blinding migraine stopped play for a while there but I’m back now! Now, where was I? Ah yes…. Last week Peter Andre almost caused a riot! It seems that he was a tad unpopular with most of [...]

It’s Friday again and what’s more it’s a Bank Holiday weekend! Last week Zachary Quinto while enthusiastically appreciated by some, scared the bejesus out of others. What will this Easter Good Friday bring us in the ‘Hot or not?’ stakes? Well…. This weeks choice is a little older than you may expect, with only 3 [...]

Hot or not?

March 26, 2010

Phew, Friday at last! We made it through another hectic 7 days! How about a bit of ‘Hot or not?’ to round off the week nicely? Last week Jonathan Rhys Meyers graced the page and was most definitely popular with many of you lovely readers, not least the fabulous Melissa over at ‘Smitten by Britain‘.  [...]
