Guilty Pleasure: Bradley Cooper

Bradley CooperThe first time I saw Bradley Cooper was his role as Aidan Stone on the hit series Nip/Tuck.  I never actually followed the series through from beginning to end, but I would catch a season here and there.  I watched most of the season which featured Mario Lopez (which was of great disappointment in regards to Lopez), but that will be for a later time.  The focus is now on Bradley  Cooper.

Born Bradley Charles Cooper in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cooper began his acting career with a small role in Sex and the City.  His film debut was in the cult classic Wet Hot American Summer (2001).   His first TV series where he a regular starring role was in the short-lived series The $treet (2000-2001).

Cooper continued to star in both movies and TV roles, including Touching Evil (2004), Law & Order:  Special Victims Unit and Law & Order:  Trial by Jury respectively, Wedding Crashers (2005), and Alias.

However, it wasn’t until Cooper starred in The Hangover (2009) that he became a household name. The Hangover was a box office hit grossing $467 million with a production budget of only $35 million (only $35 million?  If only I had that amount of money).

In 2011, GQ UK presented Cooper with the International Man of the Year Award.  In that same year, People named him Sexiest Man Alive.

In 2012, he was nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and two MTV Movie Awards for his role in Silver Linings Playbook (2012) alongside Jennifer Lawrence; one nomination for Best Male Performance and one for Best Kiss. He won the MTV Movie Award.  Again in 2013, he has been nominated for his role in American Hustle (2013) alongside Jennifer Lawrence.

Cooper is set to star in Serena (2014) alongside – – you guessed it – – Jennifer Lawrence!  I don’t think Cooper needs Lawrence to win an award.  They’re both fantastic actors on their own, but something tells me Serena will be nominated for a handful of awards once it’s released.

Talented, sexy and an admitted Momma’s boy – – what more could you ask for, except maybe Cooper in less clothes.

Guilty Pleasure: Christopher Meloni

Chris MeloniBest known as Elliot Stabler on Law & Order:  Special Victims Unit and Chris Keller on Oz, Christopher Meloni is one sexy daddy (both figuratively and literally).  He’s much older than most of the guys posted before, but he’s just as sexy as them, if not sexier.  He’s the definition of a DILF.

Born Christopher Peter Meloni, he was born in our nation’s capital with one brother and one sister of which he is the youngest.  Prior to becoming an actor, Meloni was a construction worker, bouncer, bartender and personal trainer.

His first acting role was in the TV series The Equalizer as Team Leader.  He continued to act through the 90s in small TV movies and TV series, including NYPD Blue (1988), The Fannelli Boys (1990-1991), The Boys (1993), Golden Gate (1994) and Bound (1996).

Meloni then went on to portray the bisexual criminal, Keller, in the HBO series OZ.  In 1999, Law & Order producer Dick Wolf signed Meloni on to play Stabler on Law & Order:  SVU.  Meloni would continue to play Stabler until the 12th season of the show.

Meloni has appeared in numerous public service announcements in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.  In 2005, along with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain, Meloni was awarded the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Equality Award.

In 2011, he teamed up with HRC for a new video in the “New Yorkers for Marriage Equality” campaign.

And there you have it:  He’s sexy and smart who stands up for what he believes in.  What’s not to like about him?  Did I mention he’s sexy?
