P.M. Lovely Lady of the Day

Jonathan from Houston sent me a great, angry email this morning that he was gracious enough to let me reprint here.

Hey Andy. How about you put a stop to highlighting 1) near anorexic Victoria's Secret models (Joan Smalls for example) and 2) barely post-pubertal (young and scrawny) models/ celebrities. Aren't there enough beautiful women out there who look normal?

For what it's worth, I get this type of email every day. Either the girl is too skinny and they want curvier girls or the girls are too curvy and they want skinnier girls. I've learned to deflect the criticism and do the best I can. So hopefully Jonathan in Houston will approve of Carissa Rosario (click here for full-size gallery).

Good Will Hunting 2

I'm not going to lie. Sometimes it's a challenge trying to find videos for Hot Clicks. So when you see me throw in a random movie scene or old commercial, that's a good indication that I didn't have much. That being said, here's a scene from Good Will Hunting 2 (courtesy of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back). Swearing is involved so put on your headphones.
