10. School is done. Summer has officially started. Summer also means eating healthier. And by that I mean, fermented grapes. *grins*
9. Book news: Ruthie Knox has announced she is writing a New Adult series under the name Robin York set to release in 2014.
Goodreads is now showing the release date of Burned by Karen Marie Moning as April 22, 2014 instead of January. SADNESS.
Sylvia Day makes an announcement about the release date of Crossfire #4.
Olivia Cunning will have the first in her Exodus series coming out next year.
8. Because I’m obsessed with David Gandy. This is an interview about male modeling is so different from the ladies, and how he has built his brand. He also talks about how his photo shoot in that little white bikini changed his life. It changed our lives too David Gandy.
7. The new trailer for Hobbit #2 is out. I had so much fun watching the first Hobbit and Richard Armitage…you can hobbit me any day. Or dwarf me. Whatever you do..just do it to me Richard Armitage.
Don’t panic. He isn’t really dead. This is art people. Alexander Skarsgard did a photo shoot where he is a boxer.
In the end he rides off on his motorcycle (to his motorcycle club and his old lady of course. Or maybe he has a Sweet Butt waiting for him? I’d be his sweet butt.) I don’t watch True Blood anymore, but it comes back this weekend, right? If we get any good nakey times with Eric or Alcide, y’all better alert me.
5. Now that Game of Thrones is done (can we all agree we will never eat “Pork Sausage” again?) the husband and I need another show to start watching (while we wait for the epic conclusion of Breaking Bad this August). Bells and Pamela have been raving over a show called Orphan Black. The first season just ended on BBC (it’s streaming on NetFlix) so we watched the first two episodes last night. It’s off to a great start. The heroine realizes she is one of several clones, and there is someone out there trying to kill them off. She also assumes the identity of one of her clones. We are hooked!
4. Superman is out today. I WILL be seeing this soon. My husband said he is not really feeling the new Superman. GOODBYE HUBS. I’ve heard the movie is just okay, but really who cares when I get to stare at Henry Cavill for two hours. I’ll report back.
3. Gerard Butler cracks a walnut with has ass. NO REALLY. I have no idea why – it’s all in German. But Damn. And it’s G-rated unfortunately. "Cracks a walnut with his ass" could go so many directions.
2. Go HERE to watch a MMA fighter stretch and do hops for six seconds. Trust me. These six seconds are worth it. I now am craving a MMA romance hero. Yes. Thanks Chelsea! (his name is Georges St-Pierre)
1. It’s Friday! I hope you have a fun weekend planned!! If you read anything Smexy let me know!
Jen says
APRIL 22, 2014??? Thanks for ruining my WHOLE WEEKEND, MANDI.
But 512 pages. That is promising. Isn’t that close to what Shadowfever was at?
Mandi says
That IS promising. I’m sorry your weekend is ruined. You can come over and cry with me
Jen says
Do you provide wine?
Mandi says
Of course. We can drink it straight from the spout on the box. #classy
Carey says
Alcide is supposed to be nakey in the premiere!
Mandi says
*THROWS PEEN SHAPED CONFETTI*
May says
I will watch true blood and note what times you need to watch (like, ep 1, 8:34)
Because I’m a true friend like that.
Mandi says
You really are. I’ll await your report
Selena Mc says
Welcome back! Excellent Top Ten! I asked Karen’s assistant about the later release date on ‘Burned’, still haven’t heard anything back from her, so I’m starting to believe it to be true. I don’t know :'(
I love Orphan Black! I just finished the season finale this morning! Ohmigod!!!! Its such an addicting show & I want a Felix of my very own!!
Selena Mc says
I meant to say, that all pre-ordered Amazon copies of ‘Burned’ had an email sent out also confirming the April release date change.
Mandi says
Ah – thx – I wasn’t sure if that date was set in stone but glad to know it is.
I adore Felix!! I want him too!
blodeuedd says
Loved the Hobbit trailer, saw sexy elves too and sexy..whoever it was. And ARMITAGE
Mandi says
ARMITAGE. <3 him in this role so much!
Julie@my5monkeys says
I LOVE LOVE Orphan Black . I was glad to hear that there is going to be a second season :) Love the cloneclub
I need to finish reading Iced :)
Mandi says
It’s such a well acted show.
And yes – finish Iced! It’s so good :)
Sylvia says
Gerard was on a German show called ‘Wetten dass’ which roughly translates as ‘Wanna bet?’
Stars have to predict if a person will win or lose their bet (like: I can crack 50 walnuts, with my ass, in under 2 minutes).
Apparently Gerard predicted it wrong and then had to read something in German (something about a father who has to hold his son tightly) with ice down his pants.
Mandi says
Thank you so much!!! It all makes sense now! LOL.
Marilyn says
Anyone watching “Hemlock Grove” on Netflix (original series)? Lots of smexy stuff there – nudity – angel sex – werewolves and vampires – you name it! Some of it is really pretty shocking! Just wondering….
Selena Mc says
I start that tomorrow Marilyn :) Can’t wait!
Mandi says
Oooh – I haven’t heard of it. I will def check it out
Krista says
I’m sad to hear about Burned, but I can’t wait for more Richard Armitage! Have you seen his interview with Glamour? Hotness! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAfBKuDo5sg
sarah says
watched the entire season of Orphan Black in two days. LOVED IT
Mandi says
We are continuing tonight!
aurian says
Lol great post Mandi! Let us know what you think of the new Superman movie.
Mandi says
I willllll :)
Alesa says
Mmm Richard Armitage. I was amazed when watching the Hobbit to find myself fancying the Dwarf King but oh that voice. And he was definitely Alpha. And in real life he is 6’3 :)
Mandi says
I saw an interview where he said it took him months to train to walk like a dwarf – heavier, more compact steps etc.
Sophia (FV) says
I watched Orphan Black last night. Only the first episode but I’m intrigued!!
Also, just watched the MMA fighter. Boing, Boing.
Mandi says
LOL. I wish we had more than 6 seconds of boing boing
