Tom Cruise                                         Bruce Jenner                                       Mel Gibson

 We're nearing the end of our Top Ten lists and since the end of the year is fast approaching we decided to devote this blog entry to a few miscellaneous lists ---our favorite gayest non-gay celebrities, our top ten all-time women, our favorite "are they or aren't they" sexy men, our whatever happened to pornsters, and one we can only call "what were we thinking?"

 You know what we mean by that one. Those men that we can't believe that we once thought were hot. Either their appearances have deteriorated or they've indulged in behavior or actions that have made us cringe. In any case, they have all obliterated any fantasies we might have retained and we have one message for them all--Go away already. You're giving us a hard-off.

 In no particular order:

Tom Cruise. We changed our mind a long time ago---we don't care if he's gay. We don't want him on our team.
Oh, where to begin?  His Scientology-influenced psychotic behavior? His multiple loveless marriages? His conversion of Katie Holmes into his cult? All good reasons to dislike the crazy gnome. Then there those good movies he participated in that we can't even bear to watch anymore. Thanks, Tom.

Bruce Jenner. This handsome Olympics champion could easily turned his athletic fame into an acting career and indeed tried. But he was also the first example that we can remember of why men shouldn't have plastic surgery. 
He married Elvis' ex girlfriend and spawned good-looking reality show doofus Brody Jenner.
 
Mel Gibson. In every way he has driven a stake in the heart of our attraction to him. Where's the sexy man who made Gallipoli and set everyone's libidos throbbing in the Mad Max movies? Should we mention his derogatory Bird on a Wire performance or his inflammatory Braveheart? His right-wing politics, his drunken bigotry-tainted tirades , and his unapologetic behavior leave a very bad taste in our mouths.

Jan-Michael Vincent. Here was a stunning gorgeous blond Adonis of the late 60s and 70s whose career even lasted into the 80s until he turned into a drunken Mr Hyde and literally drank his career away. He's had public brawls, been involved in domestic abuse, and had car wrecks. He was in a substance abuse facility for awhile and is apparently now living in Mississippi and owns a ranch.

Willie Aames. Talk about teen heartthrobs. On Eight is Enough he was just that. Even when he tried to extend his career on Charles in Charge, he still had it. But you can't stay a teen idol forever and he eventually turned to religion making a career as a children's pastor and touring as Bibleman. He retired to spend time with his family but did turn up on Celebrity Fit Club on VH1.

Chuck Norris. Martial Arts actor who was pretty damn sexy in his younger days. But he started doing those dreadful low budget action movies and Walker Texas Ranger TV series and became a parody of himself and is now about as sexy as a wet kleenex. This doesn't even include his politics which include his endorsement of religious wacko and homophobe Mike Huckabee. Ew.

Sylvester Stallone. Yes, lovable Rocky Balboa and sexy Rambo just keeps on going, getting caught with steroids,having plastic surgery and regurgitating his roles as Rocky & Rambo. Stop it Sly! You're embarrassing yourself!Try those serious roles like Cop Land and stop wheezing your way through roles meant for younger hunks.

Nick Nolte. There was a time when he was not just a muscular sexy actor, but a respected one. But he and Jan-Michael Vincent read the same handbook on how to throw a Hollywood career away. Now when you say his name all you can think of is his mugshot.

Sasha Mitchell. Gorgeous as a young man he was a Calvin Klein model, played Spike of Bensonhurst for director Paul Morrissey (who did many Joe Dallesandro films), and did martial arts movies as well as co-starring on TV's Step by Step. Then came the tattoos, and the wife-beating charges, and the overly big bulked up bod. While he seems to have cleaned up his act and is a happy family man he's no longer the cute stud we once loved.

  Oh, believe us there are more we could have named. But---why bother? We're sure this is enough to bear for now. Hopefully we now know better. But something tells us in another few years there'll be a new generation of
"what were we thinking?"
