20. Tim Gunn, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style
Tim Gunn's professorial smarts on Project Runway and his long-gone makeover series Tim Gunn's Guide to Style make his conservative work attire damn fetching. He's a saucy and sexy guy, and I'm not just saying that because I believe my impersonation of him is Nobel-worthy.

I hated Fear Factor, and I wasn't much a fan of Joe Rogan's Super Amped hosting skills -- but I'll give the man one thing: He was hilarious on Newsradio,...

Christina Hendricks is the sexiest person on Mad Men. Forget Jon Hamm, John Slattery, or January Jones. They're all beautiful people, but Christina Hendricks is the perfect epitome of sexy — you can ask just about anyone who has ever seen her on the show. Her character, office manager Joan, radiates confidence and coolness, and seems to be way beyond her thirty-five years. Sure, she was a little catty in season one, but as the show progressed, she became one of the most lovable characters on television.
That proved to be a little too much on the Ktla Morning Show yesterday, on which Hendricks appeared as an interviewee. She left her interviewer quite speechless just by going so far as to mention taking a bath, which caused former MTV VJ Brian McFayden to turn into, as Entertainment Weekly called it, "a blubbering, pre-pubescent mess."
Obviously the ramifications were awkward.

Stepping out for a promotional gig, Christina Hendricks made an appearance on Ktla’s breakfast show with Brian McFayden today (July 30).
The “Mad Men” babe obviously had a flustering effect on the host when she talked about finding out that she’s up for an Emmy this year.
She explained, “I had to be at work really, really early that morning and I was running my bath. I had everything timed out to get every last minute of sleep because it was 5.30 in the morning.”
McFayden couldn’t seem to get the bath image out of his mind, and later in the interview he seemed to still be stuck in that thought.
“I'm saying you're a beautiful woman and I would like... the bath... the way you made... I mean, I'm stumbling on my words... what I'm trying to say, is you were drawing a bath, you're making a bath...

Christina Hendricks can add “leaving men speechless” to her list of super powers. During the Mad Men star’s appearance on Ktla morning show yesterday, the mere reference to a bath (where should would presumably be…naked) turned poor Brian McFayden (yes, the former MTV VJ) into a blubbering, pre-pubescent mess: “You were drawing a bath…and making a bath for yourself, and I was just thinking…that’s awesome.” Watch the awkwardness unfold below:
Fyi Brian, Joan would never go for a guy who loses his cool so easily. Do you think this sort of reaction ever gets old for Hendricks?...

Melbourne, July 30 – Christina Hendricks usually leaves men speechless with her looks, but this time just her words did the trick.
According to News.com.au, when Ktla anchor Brian McFayden asked Hendricks about the moment she found out about the nomination, she replied saying that she was running her bath at the time – leaving the anchor agape.
The interview moved on, but the picture evidently lingered in McFayden’s mind.
Hendricks recently came under the limelight when British MP Lynne Featherstone described her as the ideal woman for young girls to emulate. (Ani)...

Brian McFayden has been struck by Cupid's arrow. The former MTV VJ has been tapped to host CBS' summer reality series from American Idol judge Simon Cowell and FremantleMedia North America. Production on the one-hour matchmaking show, which aims at finding the perfect mate for an eligible young woman, is set to begin May 19. "Brian is the perfect choice to host the show," FremantleMedia North America president David Lyle said. "He has experience with live television, connects well with young audiences and possesses a sense of humor and spontaneity that will complement the reality elements of the show." McFayden's live TV experience will come into play because the homestretch portion of the series featuring 10 finalists for the woman's heart will be live, with viewers voting off a contestant every week. Cowell is executive producing the series with Craig Piligian and Ken Warrick. At MTV, McFayden served as a substitute host on the network's flagship show Total Request Live and as the host of Hot Zone. He also hosted the 2000 and 2001 Miss Teen USA Pageants as well as the Ford Supermodel of the World Search. He started his broadcasting career in radio, as the comedic sidekick on The Cane Show, which aired on New York's WXRK-FM.
