Summer Preview: What Will Be Hot in Music, TV & Movies for '08!

 

... In my humble, gay opinion, of course. As Memorial Day inches closer, we're keeping up our kick of shameless eye-candy and celebrity hotness posts - all part of LOGO's Utterly Shameless Hot & Sexy Weekend. Yeah ... you love it. But since we're also doing the whole NewNowNEXT thing, I've got a little warm-weather forecast of who will be particularly hot this summer in movies, TV and music.

OK, so if you already recognize some of this picture, I do not think 12-Pack from I Love New York is hot per se - Heather is, though - but his new show is going to make my summer 100 times better, so I'm deeming the whole package h-o-t.

 

Now check out my summer hot picks - along with lots of lovely photos - after the jump!

 

 

Courtesy once again of OUT magazine, I hope you enjoy these pictures of English actor Dominic Cooper as much as I have ... been.

Cutie Dominic became known when he starred in the movie The History Boys, but I'm just psyched to see him in this summer's ultra-gay - I can tell already - movie-musical Mamma Mia!.

 

 

Dominic plays Sky in Mamma Mia! - I told you about the gay thing - also known as Amanda Seyfried's love interest.

And thank you OUT's hot list for these lovely photos!

 

 

Check out Mamma Mia!'s latest trailer if you haven't seen it ..

 

 

And you know, I think a lot of gays just took notice of Dominic's role in the movie - and not of Meryl's, for once - when this little picture surfaced of Dominic ...

 

 

Um, yeah - I know. But now on to music!

 

 

I've been talking about this one a lot lately, I know, but sequined disco-machine Lady GaGa - a young Manhattan-native who's been glamming up and tearing down small venues, particularly gay bars in the Lower East Side - has her official debut album The Fame coming out this summer, and it's going to be crazy-hot. Disco Heaven!

 

 

Lady GaGa performed last night at the taping of the first NewNowNext Awards, and the smarty gays at LOGO had the artist close out the show, because she's just that amazing live. Check out her raunchy video for "Just Dance" ...

 

 

Lady GaGa's live show is much darker and more futuristic than her music video, and her dancing - and that cat suit - take her catchy pop songs to a different level. Not that I don't also love that music video...

 

 

Clearly, I'm obsessed.

 

 

For my pick of what's going to be in hot in T.V. this summer, I'm leaning more toward hot mess, OK? And we are talking about being shameless here, so whatevs: It's Vh1's I Love Money!

Forget the pretense of love and dating to get these people on camera. The channel brought together the best of the best from its priceless, trashy dating shows for the simple pursuit of money, which, I hope, will result in lots of cat-fighting. Amaaazing...

 

 

As you can see, we've got White Boy, Real and The Entertainer from I Love New York, consistently-drinking Heather from Rock of Love and - although not pictured here - the always-fantastic Bootz from Flavor of Love and Charm School.

Thank god they're back! Summer can't come soon enough.
