• Actually, Anderson, there are quite a few of us who would love to see you in a thong.

• Especially … a candy thong.

• Brick Stone has his way with the WBC. Love the “special” microphone.

• Below you can see adorable Briefs Guy favorite (I may have featured him … 2 … 3 … 12 times) Colby Melvin win a motorcycle on The Price Is Right, with help from … Charles Barkley?

• Here’s your Daily Matt Bomer™. With fellow USA Network star Piper Perabo at the ICG 50th Annual Publicists Awards.

• Continuing the Top 50 Movie Songs Of The 80’s! At #37 is … “Far From Over” by Frank Stallone, from Staying Alive.

• Staying Alive is a treasure trove of goodness, from young & haughty Finola Hughes and the girl-next-door innocence of Cynthia Rhodes, to the towering achievement of the film’s Broadway production, the impossibly tacky Satan’s Alley. Best of all was the soundtrack, which featured some minor Bee Gees hits, as well as the only Top 40 hit for Frank Stallone (who … coincidentally … was the brother of the film’s director.) . “Far From Over” debuted on the chart on July 30th, 1983 and peaked at #10 on October 8th. YOU CAN SEE THE VIDEO HERE. Tomorrow’s clue – “Headin’ into twilight, spreadin’ out her wings tonight”
