Sexism spotting
TweetingTooHard.com aggregates messages that other Twitter users have voted too self-important, such as "Im already prettier than everyone here" and "my hotness is wasted in an office w/no hot women".
But king of the narcissistic snippet is one Arthur Kade, whose Tweets have the nerdy, self-aggrandising quality of someone touching-typing blindly as they stare helplessly into the mirror, captured by the awesomeness of their own reflection.
On the possibility of meeting Justin Timberlake he says "He's probably a fan", and claims to live "an amazing lifestyle of success, travel,partying & hot girls."
But who is Arthur Kade? What moves hundreds of commenters on his site to threaten to "chop him up with an axe and shoot him into outer space"? Is he even real?
And how would you score on the Kade Scale of hot women?

Hello and happy Monday morning! I'm back for one more week starting today.
Currently myself and the rest of the Jack crew have been having big discussions about boys boy hair. I have funnily enough been getting a fair few emails through about male grooming, hair removal for men and all over body shavers for men! We have even been sent natural looking fake eyelashes for men (we will be doing a road test with these soon after spending a long week finding a boy happy to test them out)!
So as a Monday morning question I put to you some of the questions that have had rattling around our office for a week.
Do women prefer men with hair or without hair?
What happens when waxed/shaved chests become stubble?
And finally................
Are hairy men better in bed?
Have a good week, Lu x
Charity
I know, brilliant. So here's the deal. First you need to download this little thing called Adobe Air. Then you donate a little something to Cancer Research UK. CRUK are coming to the end of their month-long campaign, and are offering donors this free 'Tommy' digital calendar, so you can get Tommy's torso every month of the year. But the neat thing, for those of us who sometimes need to look past male physical beauty for long enough to get our appointments sorted, is that this calendar can be used as a regular calendar on your desk top (as well as a 'breast check' reminder). Tommy is available for just £2 a month, and you can donate here. Small price really, by anyone's standards. And there's a video of the man himself helping with a breast exam (it's those boy scouts all over again) over the page!

Celebrities
I was faintly excited by the prospect of a ridiculously popular child stars turned hotties list, but my excitement quickly dimmed when I realised they were all girls. Time to restore equilibrium, I said to myself. Time for Dollymix, once again, to come through with the alternative. They might not all be hotties in the conventional sense, but wouldn't you like to see what your favourite boys look like now? Come on...
Fashion
Why is it everything that's now for men, but used to be for women, has to have the word MAN in it? Manbags. Manties. Mantyhose. And now... manscara. At least its partner in crime, 'guyliner', is a bit more imaginative. But is male make-up really anything new, or does it just have a new stupid name? Robbie Williams has admitted to wearing eye-liner, the ancient Egyptians went for Winehouse-flicks and even Elvis, not generally known for his effeminacy, wore cover-up. I've known a few male goths (sorry, 'indie kids') who would snap up a bit of manscara - but they'd be just as interested in the girlie kind I'm sure, with their sensitive, experimental ways. So who's this for? These man-bag sporting meterosexuals we've heard so much about? That guy on Big Brother?
Music
Lock up your daughters! Mick Jagger is creaking towards them in a mildly sexually predatory way! Yes, it's a good week so far for the aging Stone and his fake snake hips. According to a new poll, the 65 year old singer is still officially hot stuff. He came seventh in a poll of Britain's sexiest older men (Pierce Brosnan was number one.) Sir Mick (Sir!) was also number six in a style poll, ranked marginally ahead of Prince Charles - and beaten by Prince Michael of Kent. Also appearing in the Britain's Sexiest Older Man list are Sean Connery in second and Rod Stewart in fifth. Sir Paul McCartney came sixth, with Tom Jones eighth and Ozzy Osbourne in ninth place. Who's on your list of hot wrinklies?
Sports
According to a new poll by iVillage, 58% of us do. They even have a gallery of lycra-clad 'hunks' for us to post-feministically ogle. "Whether it is the supple swimmer's physique that gets you hot under the collar or the mammoth shot putter with his boulder-shoulders and Neanderthal grunts, you can be sure that they'll be someone to get your pulse racing." Honestly! Are we really that shallow? It's not that we can't appreciate a well-sculpted adonis. It's just that we can appreciate mindless competitiveness and nonsensically out-moded borderline racist nationalism just as much! Hooray for the Olympics. And all sport.
Hot or not
Batman - and by extension Christian Bale - is having a moment, no doubt about it. But let's not allow the caped crusader to obscure the other great comic-based defenders of our planet. Is Batman, in fact, the hottest superhero? Or just the only one who happens to have a new film out? A compare and contrast is in order, then you can tell us who your fave is...

Politics
In a New Statesman interview recently Gordon Brown was told: "Some women say you remind them of Heathcliff" (I know - right, "which women, blind ones?")
He replied, with no false modesty: "Maybe an older Heathcliff, a wiser Heathcliff". Leaving aside for a moment the question of whether the Heathcliff thing was, in fact, intended as a compliment, a different question - one I'm almost afraid to ask: who's the sexiest political leader?

Top 10
The news that cute-as-a-button Justin Long has split up with equally adorable Drew Barrymore has broken our hive-heart, here at Dollymix. But at least he's back on the market. To cheer ourselves up further, we've compiled a top 5 boys who play kids. Best not to analyse it too much.
