‘It Boys’ of 2010: Justin Bieber, Zac & Zach & Libby Cudmore on More Generation Twilight Guys

‘IT BOYS’ of 2010… by Elizabeth Searle

Who are the It Boys of Spring?  I polled a few of my favorite members of what blog fave. Libby Cudmore dubbed ‘Generation Twilight.’  For pre-teens, no one tops the boy/man of the hour, Justin Bieber.   A true New Media star who rose to cult status via videos his mom posted on YouTube, Bieber owns the 2010 Tweens.

Younger fans– & older ones like me– found our hearts beating faster when watching (twice, for me) STAR TREK, the movie.  Each time I saw it with my son & his friends, we all loved it; Mom especially loved Young Kirk and extra-especially Young Spock, aka It Boys Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.

Fellow blogger Libby Cudmore had mixed feelings about today’s Boy stars:

I think most of the It Boys Shia Labeof and Zac Efron in particular) are too femmy, too coiffed and they dress like Deuce Bigalow. I never, ever trust a man who wears a fedora with jeans.  I don’t want their “edginess” or their masculinity to be a calculated thing . .  it has to just be, and I don’t think men like that really exist much anymore. Basically, I don’t want a guy who is going to borrow my skinny jeans.  Next
thing you know, he’s borrowing your eyeliner.

Thanks to Libby for your trademark sweet-tart view!  Libby nails Generation Twilight, as always– though there do appear to be plenty of girls out there who wouldn’t mind lending Shia or Zac their eyeliner.  Meanwhile, OK Magazine included several young stars in their Hottest Hunks, notably the dapper Taylor Lautner.  And of course OK ‘OK’s Gen. Twilight’s fave: creepy but sexy-in-tormented-way Robert Pattinson.

Which hot hunks of GenT. talent– with or without eyeliner, whatever floats your boat– do you see as possessing star quality, aka ‘It’?  & thanks again to LIBBY for her own brand of IT…

PS: Thanks to Jeremy for bringing up Joseph Gordon-Levitt & to Libby & Linda for pointing out that Jeff Goldblum is still hot…& to Jeff for nominating as IT MAN of 2010 RICKY MARTIN

No Valentines for Generation Twilight

By Libby Cudmore

I have just seen what might be the saddest valentine on earth.

I was at the drugstore with my boyfriend, Ian, and I was looking in the candy aisle because I love candy.  Turns out they stopped making those big heart-shaped boxes of chocolates with the teddy bears on them, which is a drag because I always wanted one of those.  But what they did have, of course, was Twilight themed boxes of Sweet Tarts.  And on them was the following inscription

“You’re My Valentine . . . But Edward Has My Heart.” (Or Jacob, depending on which team you bat for)

Someone is going to get that this Valentine’s Day.  Someone is going to receive, from their girlfriend, a box of candy proclaiming their love for an imaginary glittery vampire.

Can you imagine being that guy?

I have loved many, many, MANY imaginary men in my life—Han Solo, Detective Elliot Stabler, the Phantom of the Opera, Agent #1 on Fringe, a whole menagerie of Jeff Goldblum characters—but this was always between me and my TV and a group of girlfriends who thought I was a little weird.  I have never once asked a lover to dress in tight pants with a red stripe down the side or wear black glasses and stammer a lot or let me call them “Mr. Protocol” while we do it.
