Music's sexiest single men
Hey! This is hard rock chick remember! Look who showed up on AOL’s list. But number 17? C’mon. Jared Leto at number 3, JT at 1….and the rest just don’t belong.
Transformers and The Strokes
Have you seen Transformers yet? It’s pretty entertaining, if you’re willing to look past the usual Michael Bay cocktail of gross product placement and foul depictions of women and African-Americans and just enjoy the sounds and sights bonanza that it is.
