GQ held yet another party in yet another city last night. The Australian GQ Man of the Year Awards was held on November 22 at the Sydney Opera House in (funnily enough) Sydney Australia . I think they should round up all of the “Men of the Year” from the various parts of the globe as well as their various designations, ie: Michael Fassbender was the mag’s “Breakout Man of the Year”, etc, and then have them compete pageant style for Ultimate GQ Man of the Year.  Just a thought.

You might well ask why I care about the Australian version of this boysy little ritual. The answer of course is the same for why I cared about the LA version or why I cared about the German version two years ago: Manly men all suited up and looking all “GQ”.  D’uh.  Anyway, one of the Australian honorees just happened to be one of our new ‘boyfriends’, Joel Edgerton. You remember Joel. He was one half of the battling brothers in Warrior, opposite Tom Hardy. He was recently the best thing about that The Thing remake and he’ll next be seen with Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan in fellow Aussie Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, now filming right there in Sydney.

The Great Gatsby accounts for Edgerton’s look at this shindig. The retro ‘tache is for the film, but damn if he doesn’t look like the epitome of old-school movie star glamour with his hair slicked back (and darker than usual) in that single breasted, notch collared, satin lapel tux.  (Wonder whose it is. – it's a thing- I'm guessing Armani.) Yowza!

Enjoy the pics. I’ve included pics of some of the other attendees, like Alex O'Loughlin (yum) and venerable Aussie actor Jack Thompson, but most of them are Australian actors that I wouldn’t know if I fell over them, but they’re kinda cute. Oh and Kellan Lutz, who needs to step away from the spray tan. Had to include him just so no one would get mad that I didn’t.

Hawaii Five-O’s Alex O’Loughlin heats up the August 2011 issue of Men’s Fitness looking every bit as delicious as he does in the series. Seriously this man is so juicy-looking and so is his little sidekick on the show Scott Caan and we musn’t forget Daniel Dae Kim (purrrrrr). And for those that love the ladies, there is the gorgeous Grace Park. Okay enough about my raging hormones.

Alex shares his fitness tips with the magazine and says that there is something very ‘primal’ about running and getting into the zone. I totally understand primal biotch.

Do you watch Hawaii Five-O? They just wrapped up their first season and although, I will admit, I was most skeptical, I have to say I LOVE the show!

Thanks to ONTD for this most delicious mansicle post.

Jennifer Lopez along with costar Alex O’Loughlin premiered The Back-Up Plan in Los Angeles last night where JLo’s hubby Marc Anthony, and manager Benny Medina also attended.

But more importantly Nubbins the dog hit the red carpet.  Bless that little pooch!  Nubbins is the dog’s real name but his character name in the film is Nuts. Nubbins is an able-bodied dog but was made to appear in character for the premiere.

JLo admits there is no ‘message’ to the movie:

“It’s not a message movie. It’s a romantic comedy. It definitely deals with modern issues, which I love. When I read it, that’s one of the things I really liked about it, it had a very modern voice. It seemed very up to date.

“I think that’s very important for romantic comedies – that they do deal with issues. It doesn’t feel like it’s a story from 20 years ago, which some romantic comedies can be like. So, that was one of the things that really attracted me to it.”

The premiere was also a mini Dancing With The Stars reunion with Gilles Marini, Karina Smirnoff, Jake Pavelka (yes he brought his fiancee along), and Edyta Sliwinska attending.

Best friend of JLo, Leah Rimini attended with her husband.  Other attendees included Jensen Ackles, Heidi Klum and The Dog Whisperer himself Cesar Millan.

Marc Anthony threw his wife Jennifer Lopez a surprise 40th birthday partyat the Edison Ballroom in New York last night with a guest list that included:  Leah Remini, Andre Harrell, Alex O’Loughlin, Liza Minnelli, Carlos Beltran, Benny Medina, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ricky Martin.

The evening entitled ‘An Evening For Lola’ featured a beautfiul marquee with JLo’s picture on it.  Now that’s a man in love.  With lots of money.  She does look genuinely surprised in these pictures which is so sweet.

Happy Birthday Lola!

Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin are seen in various parts of New York filming ‘The Back Up Plan’.  I think Jennifer looks fabulous. 

She recently told Extra that she’s ready for more kids:

“I would love to have more kids. I don’t know if we will. I don’t know if that’s in the cards for us. But we’ll see.”

The twins are getting big and are starting to talk:

“They’re more than walking now… they’re starting to talk. I put Max to bed yesterday… and I said, ‘I love you baby. I’ll see you tomorrow.’ And he was like, ‘I love you.’”

Jennifer turns 40 on Friday!!
