There is something about French names isnt there? François Arnaud… The way they roll off the tongue, so much more romantic sounding than John Smith :p But if ever a man lived up to the sexiness of his name its François Arnaud; French Canadian stage and film actor. François Arnaud trained at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Montréal in 2007. He is most well known for his portrayal of Cesare Borgia in the TV series The Borgias.

Completely unrelated to The Hunkies I realise but I have spent the last few minutes playing this little video hunt game around the streets of Paris and, to be honest, I´ve become a little addicted – mainly because (as it turns out) my knowledge of Paris isnt really that great so I took more than one incorrect detour. Damn!

The premiss is this – Audrey Marnay, the face of the new Longchamp ad campaign, has hidden in Paris her favourite bag: the Balzane bag of the Autumn 2011 collection and it is your job to go after it… You get to ride on a  motorcycle through the streets of an Autumnal Paris and find the new Balzane, the iconic bag of this season, before it disappears. The chase is on, the rock music starts, your motorcycle passes several of the most beautiful Parisian monuments. You need to chose the correct itinerary because only one way will lead you to the final destination where Audrey and her Balzane bag are waiting for you.

Luckily on your way you will meet three star bloggers (the Chinese blogger Jing Wang, the French blogger Eleonore Bridge of the blog de la méchante, and the American blogger Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast) who will give you useful clues.

Enjoy and Good luck!

This is a sponsored post.

I would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to a new area of the site which is just in the process of being added – the fan communities. Each hunkie on the site, or at least the ones with a vocal enough fan following, will have its own individual fan community in this area.

Each area is a mini social network allowing members to share information, news, images, youtube videos and, of course, chat with like minded people.

To take part in the initial beta you will first need to join the global fan community and then join the relevant group or groups of the hunkies you are interested in (you can join as many as you like!). Post in the group like a social network, add friends and make forum posts. The communities will only be as good as we make them! If your favourite hunkies does not have a fan community yet just drop me a line – either in the comments, via contact form or tweet me.

When you join you will be immediately subscribed to a discussion group which is intended to give you a forum of making suggestions and reporting issues. Enjoy!

Current fan communities exist for Richard Armitage, Eric Balfour, Alex O´Loughlin,  Alex Skarsgard,  Joe Manganiello, Stephen Moyer and Aidan Turner

After a weekend of hectic essential maintenance we are once again live – albeit with slightly diminished content. We have several days ahead of us to go as we are still updating each of our nominees profiles – expanding, editing and generally giving them an all round sprucing. As a result of the chaos this will no doubt cause we have disabled advertisements (now quit that cheering).

If you would like to contribute to your favourites online profile please do drop me a line.

Star tried to have us all believe True Blood stars Alex Skarsgard (Eric Northman) and Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) have been feuding on set in a bid to prove who was the hunkiest. Although the rumour has been debunked by a True Blood insider (thank you for ruining that visual!) we thought we´d help the guys decide with a mini-poll (after all we´ve not had one in quite sometime!)

So, come on dear readers, Alex Skarsgard or Ryan Kwanten – whose muscles would you enjoy rippling in an arm wrestling contest?

Just 24 hours to decide!
