Look, we have a lot of running from fashion show to fashion show today and we realize how behind we are on the recapping and reviewing of various television shows, but we promise that will all be worked out by tomorrow morning, darlings. Witches honor. For now, we're falling back on beefcake to keep you entertained. We never implied that we had a surplus of dignity.

“There are so many things I want to do. Like, I want to get an artist, a musician, a photographer and a bunch of dancers that I know, and just travel across Africa and just film it and just see what happens. Do and learn as much as I possibly can. Lucky, I have a lot more time.”

Aw, that's so earnest and filled with youthful bravado that we can't even be bitchy about it. Besides, he's rich. He's a lot more likely to get a chance to do something like that.

Anyway, here are pictures of him brooding and flexing, which is fine by us.

Now that he's in his thirties, he's gone from generically good-looking to having a truly interesting and highly masculine look about him in a Steve McQueen kind of way. Of course that could be due to the overt Steve McQueen referencing going on in this editorial, what with all the bikes n' broodin in the California desert. Still, he's going to age very well. We think we've seen him move and speak at some point, but we'll be damned if we can remember the name of any one of his movies. Is he any good as an actor? Got a future ahead of him? Should T Lo be paying more attention to him?
