E! Online ~ Top 9 Hottest Vampires Not in Twilight

E! Online created a list of the hottest Vampires that are NOT part of the Twilight series. They did not include Mick St John, Josef, Coraline or Lola in their Top Nine :( We all know that Moonlight is bursting with sexy vamps. However, E! did leave the number ten spot open for fans to suggest who should round out the list. Let them know what you think!

Top 9 Hottest Vampires Not in Twilight
by Natasha Vargas-Cooper

Robert Pattinson didn't invent the smokin'-hot vampire. Before his army of chastity-lovin' Twilight tweens came along, bloodsuckers were synonymous with S-E-X. Hooking up with a citizen of the underworld meant steamy nights in cramped caskets, making out upside-down in the rafters and illicit fang bangs.

So as Rob Pattz prepares for a massive home invasion with this weekend's DVD release, we look back on the absolute hottest vampires not in Twilight.

Here's our top 9, with No. 10 left open for you to decide (and based on the comments, it looks like you already have):

1. Kiefer Sutherland, The Lost Boys: Proof that the undead can still rock! Sutherland and his glam gang of pasty pals sleep all day, party all night, and toss hilariously camp lines like "You'll never grow old, and you'll never die. But you must feeeeeed!"

2. Nicolas Cage, Vampire's Kiss: His (figuratively) soulless literary agent gets a hickey from a mysterious woman and is convinced he's a vampire. How could you not adore a caped Cage running down the street screaming "I'm a vampire!" Some say eating a real-life wriggling roach for a movie isn't hot, but those people are wrong.

3. Brad Pitt, Interview With the Vampire: So many wistful afternoons are spent dreaming of Pitt's Louis from this flick—so where did he go? Really, Brad, get over the "serious actor" trip, grab some extensions and fangs, and get out of the coffin and into my car!

4. Salma Hayek, From Dusk Till Dawn: As an uncredited stripper/vampire queen in the Quentin Tarantino-Robert Rodriguez flick, she only has one scene. Where she grinds a python. In a bikini. On George Clooney's table. You're welcome.

5. Tom Cruise, Interview With the Vampire: Lestat's pad is without a doubt one of the hottest spots in Hollywood's batcave. Hey, remember that part when he wrapped his mouth around that cold, scaly, reptilian creature so he could stay alive—oh, no, wait, that was Eyes Wide Shut. Whoops!

6. Susan Sarandon, The Hunger: She doesn't want to suckle just anyone's blood—she lusts after the lady blood. Decked out in shoulder pads and a sherm perm, the woman-on-woman scene in this slick little vamp flick is off the chain! It brings to mind only one word: VILF.

7. William Marshall, Blacula: He's deadlier than Dracula—he's Blacula. The ladies say his bite was outta sight!

8. Jim Carrey, Once Bitten: He's adorable as an chaste teenager hunted by an undead countess thirsty for virgin blood. It raises a puzzling question, though: What's more rare in the L.A. dating scene in—a vampire or a virgin? Also, this is the worst movie ever made about Los Angeles—besides Crash.

9. Kate Beckinsale, Underworld: She's one juicy piece of dead! Armed with clingy tops, tight pleather and plenty of guns, this vampire warrior defends her cadre of hemophiles against their sworn unkempt enemies: werewolves. Who are, let's be clear, not hot.

10. You Tell Us!

Australian Cosmopolitan leaves Alex O'Loughlin off list of Homegrown Hunks

Cosmopolitan Magazine Australia recently complied their list of "Homegrown Hunks." Shockingly, Alex O'Loughlin is not included among the 26 choices! They pick men like the one pictured above (Sorry for singling you out, Curtis Stone)... but... don't recognize Alex's beauty?!? At least, they were smart enough to select Hugh Jackman and Simon Baker. However, Alex is much better looking and sexier than the majority of men on the list. I'm sure that you will agree. Lots of people have already left comments asking why Alex is missing. Click on the link below to see the entire list of "hunks."

Who Are the Sexiest Sci-Fi Stars?

What is it that makes sci-fi shows so appealing? Maybe it's because so many of the cast members are "out of this world" hot!

From Supernatural's Jared Padalecki to Battlestar Galactica's sexy cylon Tricia Helfer, there are plenty of sci-fi sexpots to choose from. So, we want to know: Who do you think are the sexiest sci-fi stars?

Share your picks in the comments below, and be sure to tell us why you think your choices are the hottest things on TV. Be sure to check back next week to see if your choice makes the list!

Viewers refuse to delete Moonlight from their DVR/TiVo

You did it! Recently, I posted TV Guide's call for readers to let them know which television programs you recorded to watch over & over again. They have released the results. Thanks to all the wonderful fan comments, Moonlight is on the list of shows viewers refuse to delete! *cheer*

TVGuide.com Users' DVR Keepsakes

The sacred (and shameless) shows our readers can’t delete

"Moonlight, the entire season. Mick St. John was a wonderfully complex character and Beth was strong and gutsy. There were so many places the series could have gone. I loved every minute of it and refuse to let it go." (12000day)

Have you ever boycotted a network?

Mandi, from Entertainment Weekly's Pop Watch Blog, wants our comments. She did a post allowing fans to mourn canceled shows, including Moonlight. While reading the replies, she noticed that a lot of people are planning to boycott CBS. Now, she wants to hear more about it from the fans.

Ooooooo..... and Mandi also mentions the Hollywood Reporter stating that Moonlight is still being shopped :)

PopWatch Blog
Ever boycott a show or a network (and for how long)?

After reading the comments on my post mourning CBS' cancellation of Moonlight (pictured), in which some viewers vow to boycott the network, and those on Abby West's Bones season finale preview and postmortem, in which a handful of fans threaten to abandon the Fox drama after its rushed resolution to the Gormogon case, I'm wondering how often people actually follow through on such promises.

So, tell me: Have you ever boycotted an entire network? Or gone cold turkey on a show because you felt it did you wrong? And how long did you hold out? I'm fascinated.

P.S. While I'm the "obsessed colleague" who wouldn't stop complaining to Abby about Booth's beer helmet — (a) he had a tub caddy that could've held his cans and (b) I know he's a "dude," but he still shops at Spencer's? — I'll be back.

P.P.S. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moonlight is still being shopped to cable networks, including TNT. Hmmm. While TNT has Angel repeats in the morning, I'm not sure I see vamps fitting into its primetime lineup. Angel alums on the other hand, yes: I went to the Turner upfronts last week, and saw that J. August Richards (Gunn) has a role in Steven Bochco's upcoming TNT legal drama, Raising the Bar, while Christian Kane (Lindsey) will be seen opposite Timothy Hutton in the net's Leverage. Of course, TNT already has a double dose of Boreanaz, with Tuesday night Bones repeats.

Parade Magazine poll does not include Moonlight hunks

Walter Scott's Personality Parade was published in Parade magazine today. A reader asked who has the best abs. That led to a new poll ~ Which Hollywood hunk has the best abs? The choices are Eric Bana, Gerard Butler, Djimon Hounsou, Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey & Ryan Phillippe. No Alex O'Loughlin, Jason Dohring or Brian J White! :( We need to let them know how we feel about our boys being left off the list. Also, this may help the campaign we already have of contacting Parade to ask that they feature Moonlight &/or our cast in the magazine.

Thanks to the lovely Mary for making sure I knew about this :)

Here is the original question ~

Q : I can’t decide which star has the best abs. Who is tops in your book? — Julia G., Atlanta, Ga.

A : Our list includes Matthew McConaughey and Djimon Hounsou, but tops is Mario Lopez. “I use boxing, dancing and yoga to strengthen my core muscles,” says Mario, 34, who showed his footwork on Dancing With the Stars and has a workout book due in May. Which Hollywood hunk do you think has the best abs?
