The CW Source

The fine folks at KWGN in Denver are hosting a Battle of the CW Hotties as we speak. Right now, the Women's bracket is up, but you can still vote in the Men's bracket as well. The second phase of the Men's competition launches Friday, and the second round of Women's matches goes up on Tuesday, February 18 -- so get voting!

Then there's an all networks battle to the death over at the South Florida Sun Sentinel, where CW stars are going up against the juggernauts from the other four broadcast networks. The Bad Boys division (which includes Chuck Bass, Dean Winchester and Damon Salvatore -- and Dean and Chuck are currently losing) is already off the front page, but you can still vote. Keep checking this page throughout the next month to support your fave stars!

* We know, we know -- there are those among you who sneer at such things, who protest that we should focus on the content of the shows and the nuances of the acting rather than the exterior facade of the people who bring our favorite characters to life. And we like to think we do that here... but that doesn't stop us from being able to celebrate the aesthetic pleasures these folks bring to bear. Are we shallow? Maybe. But we are having fun!

Eonline reports that Gossip Girl received a whopping 14 Teen Choice nominations, including Best Drama, Best Breakout Show, and Choice TV Actor/Actress.

It's true that GG is everywhere on the list of nominations. All three female leads (Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, and Taylor Momsen) are up for Best Breakout Female Star, and we were especially excited to see Ed Westwick's Chuck Bass nominated for Choice TV Villain along with Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum. But One Tree Hill also earned its fair share of nominations, including Choice TV Drama, Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush for Choice TV Actress and Chad Michael Murray for Choice TV Actor. Our complaint: where are James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Galeotti? They deserve some noms, too!

Other shows represented include America's Next Top Model (Cycle 10 winner Whitney is up for Choice TV Female Reality Star, Tyra is up for Choice TV Personality, and the show itself is in the running for Choice TV: Reality Beauty and Makeover), Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (for Reality Music Competition), and Smallville (Choice TV Show Action/Adventure, Choice TV Actor/Actress Action/Adventure for Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk). Even Beauty and The Geek made the list with a nomination for Choice TV: Reality Beauty & Makeover.

Notably absent from the list: Supernatural and Reaper. And what about Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America, Girlfriends, and The Game? We think these shows were seriously overlooked -- do you agree?

Let us know what you think of the nominations in the comments!

Best birthday wishes to Tom Welling, who turns 31 tomorrow, April 26. We hope he has a great time celebrating with his wife and friends.

Tom is, of course, Clark Kent on Smallville, and we can’t think of another actor who could embody the future Man of Steel in quite the same way. Tom’s got it all: The chiseled looks, the killer body, the boy-next-door charm, and the determination that oozes out of every pore. We’ve loved watching him portray the man who will be Superman – the greatest hero the world will ever know.

Tom has taken Clark through a lot over the past seven seasons: He’s been a naïve country boy who moons over the girl next door and can’t tell anyone about his secret life; a high school student who wants to show off what he can do; a kid wanting to rebel against his family; a young man coming to terms with – and fighting against - his destiny; a guy who tries to balance doing the right thing with protecting the people he loves; and even a quasi-father-figure to Kara, the rebellious girl from Krypton. He’s lost his father, seen his best friend go into exile to protect his secret, found and lost and found and lost and found and lost some more the girl of his dreams, and started meeting the people we know will play a big role in the rest of his life as Superman. Through it all, Tom has been a thrill to watch.

What’s more, Tom has stepped behind the camera – he’ll be directing next week’s episode, “Apocalypse,” where we get to see what the world would be like if Kal El had never made it to earth.

We’re thrilled we’re going to see Tom-as-Clark for at least one more season. Happy birthday, Tom!

Great job, guys. After we posted the link to TiFaux's Hottest Men of Television bracket, you guys pushed both Tom Welling and James Marsters to victory! Milo Ventimiglia also moved on.

Well, it's time to do your thing again... Vote in this week's Elite Eight here!

You can also vote for Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell in the women's section. She's up against Claire Danes this week. Pfft, like that's even a contest!

Happy Friday, all. What makes this Friday better than past Fridays? Well, glancing at pics of our fave TV stars definitely helps!

Check out TiFaux's Tournament of Hottest Men on Television, where Smallville's Tom Welling and James Marsters most recently battled Grey's Anatomy's Justin Chambers and Will & Grace's Eric McCormack, respectively.

Unfortunately, it looks TW's journey in the tourney will come to an end. However, Marsters crushed McCormack, and you can start voting for him again starting Monday when he takes on... dum, dum, dum... Jason Bateman!

Gilmore Girls alum Milo Ventimiglia also advances after just squeaking by Lost's Josh Holloway.

Admittedly, we're a little sad to see that none of our Supernatural boys made the cut. Also, Veronica Mars star Jason Dohring got bounced out in the first round. C'est la vie.

Print your bracket here!

Name: Tom Welling

Where you can catch him: On Smallville, season premiere Thursday, September 28 at 8/7c

Where else you've seem him: Judging Amy (Season 2), Undeclared, The Fog, Cheaper by the Dozen 1 & 2

Why we heart him: Those blue eyes! That hot bod! And he can act his socks off too. But can he convincingly complete Clark Kent's journey from boy to man this upcoming season? We shall see...

Did you know? Tommy was a goalkeeper for his high school soccer team and apparently was quite good. But what isn't he great at?
