The Daily Swoon

We can’t really say Christmas is just around the corner anymore, because it’s officially this Sunday. Even still it looks like many of us aren’t feeling the Christmas spirit. Trust us… there’ve been studies. So, to pump up the volume, so to speak, on our holiday cheer, we’ve put together a little something special just for you: sexy and shirtless Santas!

Let’s be real, practically none of us know who Harry Judd is or what ‘Strictly Come Dancing‘ is, but we do know ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ right? Well, it’s real simple: ‘Strictly’ is the UK version of ‘DWTS’ and Harry Judd is the English musician who won that competition. Why, might you ask, do we care what happens over seas?

Male models are hot, but male models with tattoos are hotter. Just look at Mateus Verdelho. The 28-year-old Brazilian model’s arms are decked out in glorious designs reminiscent of Ed Hardy logos. Plus, he’ll don a full-fledged beard on occasion, and coupled with his style hairdo and man jewelry makes him the quintessential hipster.

Brad Pitt is definitely one of the sexiest men of all time… and we’re not just talking about the actor. Yes, there’s another hot guy out there with the same name as the famous ‘Moneyball’ star. This Brad Pitt hails from Australia where he’s gained international attention for his boxing skills and amazing upper torso.

Ben Flajnik learned on ‘The Bachelorette‘ that what doesn’t kill you gets you your own reality show. After Ashley Hebert rejected his marriage proposal on national television, ABC decided to make Flajnik the newest ‘Bachelor.’

Don’t you want your man to look like George St-Pierre, ladies? Well, now’s your chance. For the holidays, give the gift of the UFC fighter’s RUSHFIT work out video and in eight weeks time (so it claims) you’ll have your very own sculpted stud.

Eat your heart out Michael Phelps. We’re starting to like your pal Ryan Lochte better. Speedo’s fashion show and the Fatskin3 Racing System launch that took place in London a couple weeks ago re-opened our eyes to the world of cute-guy swimmers. Lochte, with his smoldering good looks, athletic body and tons of gold medals, clearly stood out from the rest of the US Olympic team.

We all owe Ellen DeGeneres a big “thank you” for getting the ‘X Factor’s’ Steve Jones to take his top off on her show Tuesday. It really wasn’t that hard — all it took was a simple “I was hoping that you would take what you have on off…” She did give him a black, ‘Ellen’ v-neck as a cover up, though, but for a few moments of glory we got to gawk at the man’s furry abs.

Telemundo heart throb Eugenio Siller is back in the new Spanish-language soap drama ‘Una Maid en Manhattan.’ Most of us may have cringed just thinking about the American film version, made famous by Jennifer Lopez, being stretched out into a TV series, but Siller makes the show worth your while.

Anyone watch episode of ‘Chuck‘ where Ryan McPartlin takes his shirt off? Wait… Never mind. That happens in almost every episode, but it always seems like a pleasant surprise when it happens. Doesn’t it?

In the above image from left to right, we’ve got Melih F. Cologlu, Kirk Miller, Shane Raymond, Jamie Alderton and James St. Leger. These ripped — and we mean ripped — hardcore athletes make up part of Team Grenade, the shirtless, British hunks behind the Grenade vitamin supplement.

You can tell Johnny Pearman knows a lot about hard work and determination. Just look at his body.
