    AAAAAH! MY HEAD EXPLODED!

    • Sobaika

      By head you mean ovaries.

  • lilibetp

    Hemsworth all the way.

  • http://twitter.com/gl1tterboots Vanity Affair

    Someday these poor boys will get to stop waxing their chests.

    • homofascist

      Amen sister.  You know Joe would have the most beautiful hairy chest.  Yay!

      Also, Joe wins this walk off in my book.

      • ccinnc

         I agree, because he at least has a little Happy Trail.

        • ccinnc

           Oh wait,somehow I missed seeing Hemsworth’s Happy Trail in pic #1 (too eager to scroll down to Joe, I guess). Now I’m confused …

          • RebeccaKW

             Yes, more data is needed.  We need to examine them up close…

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lucía-Gavello/1253586868 Lucía Gavello

        Joe all the way, I like me some tea with my milk…

      • lilibetp

        Not in to body hair.

    • http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd

       Tell it Sistah!   I loves me a fur bearing critter.  And those chests would both look mighty fine with follicles.

    • http://twitter.com/ZumaZoum Eric

       Joe has said in multiple interviews that he is naturally hairless on his chest.  Whether that’s actually true or not, he maintains it.  So, no fur for the werewolf.

    • lilibetp

      And then maybe we’ll get to see some gorgous American Indian actors, who are NATURALLY not hairy!

  • http://twitter.com/msjwatt J.Watt

    JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL. My ovaries just exploded. I can’t wait for Magic Mike…It’s going to be a riot in the theaters.

    • TropiCarla

      Like x 1 million!  LMAO @ ”JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL”
      My brain was yelling “GOOD LORD IN HEAVEN!” Meanwhile, since my ovaries cannot explode due to the fact that I’ve been growing a baby inside me for 5 months, said girl-child did give me a giant KICK for that towel shot of Thor.

      • http://twitter.com/msjwatt J.Watt

        A+ to baby girl. ;)

        • SRQkitten

          Baby girl has got good taste! Look out Mama!

    I enjoy that Chris Hemsworth looks like a dude at the beach but Joe Manganiello looks like a dude in a photoshoot. (Does his face just DO THAT? Or is it intentional?)

    • terekirkland

       LOL, right? Did Manganiello go to the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good? Because he’s serving up some Blue Steel realness. (or is it Le Tigre?)

      • theblondette

        Genuine LOL at Blue Steel XD

  • ThatPeterG

    Manganiello, please.

  • mdcelebrate

    Chris looks a bit sunburned–I volunteer to re-apply the sun block! Yum!

  • SheWhoMustBeObeyed

    Manganiello, FTW. Hemsworth is gorgeous, no doubt. But he’s just a little too pretty, like he might be worried about getting a hair out of place during…uh, activities.

  • mozzer0906

    Hemsworth needs some sunsceen on those shoulders, no worries love, I’ll handle that for you!  

  • greymain

    OMG……

  • http://www.thechipsterdiaries.blogspot.com/ Jess the Chipster

    Both please. Hemiello sandwich.

    • http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd

       Hemiello sandwich over here too, please!

  • alyce1213

    Too bulgey.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3KCDEX4FOTCFHZP6WLKSOOKUVM Danielle

      That just makes me think of the Rocky Horror Picture Show…

      “I don’t like men with too many muscles.”

  • Vitantonio D’Ambrosio

    Can I get a Sandwich?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1183772509 Jen Hughes

    I can’t. It’s like Sophie’s choice. 

  • crash1212

    Joe. No contest.

    • TieDye64

      Amen to that!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1401197785 Jennifer Peters-Ahnberg

    Both are very nice views! I’m all about Manganiello, for that edge he seems to have. He looks like he’d play a little rough.

    • https://twitter.com/Gayer_Than_Thou Gayer Than Thou

      Five bucks says they’re both big girly bottoms when you get them home.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

      • http://twitter.com/foodycatAlicia foodycatAlicia

        Works for me.

  • http://twitter.com/Glam_Dixie Glam Dixie

    Must I choose? One of each, please.

  • Julie Fountain

    Mangianello FTW

  • Terrie_S

    Quick, someone give me a quarter. I want to see if it will bounce on those abs.

  • http://twitter.com/SparklyCasanova UglyCasanova

    First, this is why I love TLO.  

    I’d have to choose Joe, he’s got bigger breasts, taller, and um … yeah.  

  • QuincyTKatz

    To make this a real compitition we need some shirtless Kravitz!

    • TropiCarla

      I’m with that. A little Khal Drogo would be nice too.

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1401197785 Jennifer Peters-Ahnberg

        Oh yes, that Jason Momoa is HOT! I’m not sure Thor and Alcide could compete with Khal Drogo though…

      • TieDye64

        Mmhmmm!

    • TieDye64

      Yeah, he really is beautiful.

  • http://twitter.com/Goldielox73 Goldie

    I’m not sure Hemsworth is on vacation.  Isn’t he Australian?  But, Manganiello FTW.  I love Eric and Bill but I’m all about the Alcide on TB.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3KCDEX4FOTCFHZP6WLKSOOKUVM Danielle

      People do vacation in their home country sometimes.  Some do it almost exclusively.

      • http://twitter.com/Goldielox73 Goldie

         Well, yeah, I never leave the US.  I just figured since he was rich he could vacation anywhere.  He’s been so busy with The Avengers, I thought maybe he was just chillin’ at home.

        • http://twitter.com/foodycatAlicia foodycatAlicia

           Probably showing the baby off to the grandparents.

          • Cathy Burke

            Plus it’s winter in Sydney so Hemsworth gets extra points for swimming and not looking…shrivelled!

    • http://profile.yahoo.com/GZ6CQPKUQ7QTJG4ANKYDG7ZUII Ashley

      He’s doing press for Snow White and the Huntsman

  • Bozhi

    Chris

  • http://twitter.com/Glam_Dixie Glam Dixie

    Uh, I just noticed Hemsworth is sporting 2 bracelets, 2 rings and a necklace. I just can’t with that. Go away now. Joe ftw!

  • SpcilK

    Oh my!

  • kcaza

    This is gratuitous and I love it.

    Can I say both? I say both.

  • http://twitter.com/PsychicMuppet Bitsy Carver

    I don’t care if Hemsworth is a Norse god. He’s too pale. But they both need chest hair so it’s a draw.

  • Vodeeodoe

    I’m hungry. I think I need a sandwich right about now and it’s not even close to noon.

  • Charmella

     OY VEY! May I have a whiff of smelling salts please?

  • Scarlet39

    Joe.  Not a question, not a doubt about it.

  • NurseEllen

    Joe wins this, pants down.  WHOOPS, I meant, “hands down”.

  • Lina_bee

    God, neither, but Hems looks like he’s freezing, which makes sense given that it’s the tag end of autumn there now.  Why are you at the pool when it’s cold outside, dude??

  • http://profiles.google.com/marteani Barbara Guttman

    BAH! I hate these swim trunks, Joe looks like he just walked into the ocean wearing his pants.  What gives with the belt loops?

  • AlinaValero

    borderline NSFW

  • http://frankbettecenter.org/ sleah_in_norcal

    joe!  joe!  joe!  chris looks too pasty.  i almost thought the cap shot was of a statue.

  • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

    It suddenly got reeeeeally hot in here. I think I need a dip in the ocean with one of (or both?) of these gents too cool off. 

  • http://twitter.com/stellaphone Stella Zawistowski

    YES.

    Oh, you said “Chris OR Joe”?

  • jw_ny

    Hemsworth by default…cannot stand the other.

  • TheOriginalLulu

    They’re both hotties, but if we’re judging soley based on how they look shirtless, I have to say that these dudes are just too “manscaped” for my taste. Give me a good old-fashioned manly fuzzy chest anyday.  

  • unbornfawn

    Why does this have to be an either/or? TIE

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3KCDEX4FOTCFHZP6WLKSOOKUVM Danielle

    Boys, there’s no need to be so competitive, there’s room on my bed for both of you.

  • http://twitter.com/jennsaysmeow Fifi LaRoux

    I’ll take one of each please. Have them sent to my cabana for further inspection.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/toodleskitty79?feature=guide AWS

    Um, what?  My blood is no longer in my head…

  • TLJezebel

    Gottta go with my True Blood wolfie, Alcide.  

  • RebeccaKW

    Rrrowr.

    All I have to say is “shirtless walk-off” should be a regular feature.

  • sweetlilvoice

    Joe definitely. Mmmmmmmmmm.

  • AlexisPayne

    Joe wins this round!

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/7BMHQ3SDESM2B47R4T32P2N5FM Andrew

    I absolutely love how neither of these guys are tan (Chris is like ivory and Joe is pink). Too many white people out there damage their skin and health trying to bake themselves in the sun and salons just so they can sport their burned/scarred skin like it’s the hottest thing out there. Or they’ll expose themselves to chemicals and a spray on tan and look like the jersey shore cast.

    I’m sorry, but these guys and everyone in general are beautiful in the skin they were born in. No need to burn yourselves to make yourself “prettier”.

  • AnaRoW

    I’m going to have to go with Chris because, try as I might, I  just can’t deal with Joe’s face. There’s something off. I’m thinking he wears that beard to hide a weak chin or something.

  • Qitkat

    All I can say is I’m relieved cause that was one weird thumbnail on the Whiteboard. I was afraid it was The Hunchback of the Beach.

  • http://twitter.com/Nancer Nancer

    I love it that they work out so much for our benefit. It is for us, right?

  • http://twitter.com/ZumaZoum Eric

    Weird request time:  Can I get Chris’ body with Liam’s head?

  • http://twitter.com/iraki86 IraKi

    Do they come in an edible form?

  • http://twitter.com/HotMessHousWife Sammi M

    Both delicious, but slight edge to Manganiello for actually having some body hair. 

  • http://www.filmsbyneptune.com/ Dani Colman

    Hi there.

  • MilaXX

    Helmworth for the win.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WKSM57KFWUGRMKPDUW4SPL3GDM Kathryn

    Happy Birthday, Tom!

    • http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/ Tom and Lorenzo

      Thank you, doll. T

  • SapphoPoet

    Oh, my. (fans self)

  • HeatherMcIlrath

    i find it amazing that there are people in the world that actually look like this without photoshop. joe is giving straight up sexy face, whereas chris is being more demure. i honestly can’t pick just one…

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Jaysus, Thor’s about to inspire a figure drawing. He doesn’t do much for my ladybits but that is some defined musculature!

  • Aiste Griciute

    Oooo Manjello…SO much better than the other one. 

  • jan lee

    over here it’s like late midnight, but i just watched thor on hbo sooo…FUCK IT I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN SHIRTLESS BOYS! hemsworth for me of course, me likey pretty boys.

  • Pants_are_a_must

    I refuse to choose.

    I CHOOSE THE CAP.

    • boomchicabowwow

      I this case, I think your user name is a misnomer.

  • gsk241

    Hemsworth by default.  Manganiello does absolutely nothing for me.

  • MsKitty

    Team Joe.  Hemsworth is too pasty (though I should give him points for presumably using sunscreen).

  • http://twitter.com/andsheewas Renee H.

    Thor FTW!

  • Dhammadina

    One of them looks like a Norse god. 

  • mjude

    wow

  • clairellis

    Too much sexy for one page.

  • merciblahblah

    I’m not even exaggerating a little when I say that my lady bits just tingled scrolling down these photos.

  • Susan Crawford

    Aside from the fact that my laptop heated up so much that my thighs need to be iced down . . . and I drooled onto my keyboard . . . I managed to stay calm despite these two shirtless lovelies.

  • http://twitter.com/LianaBrooks Liana Brooks

    I’m partial to blonds, Thor wins again.

  • tylka5

    Holy Cow. Thank. You.

  • j_anson

    Hah, I like how this required zero commentary. :) (Oh, wait, was it a competition? Definitely Hemsworth.)

  • Susan Crawford

    Oh, and I want to wish Tom a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Make it as carbolicious and festive as possible – you’ve earned it. Love you madly.

  • cleep1000

    Joe scares me. The other guy, meh. Too young and the ponytail is douchey.

    • l3icest3r

      The ponytail accentuates the Eddie Munster hairline. :)  

      Otherwise, it’s a tie. Meh = Meh

    • http://twitter.com/Athenabast Athena Bast

       He’s probably stuck with that hair for a while. The filming of the Thor 2 should be right around the corner.

  • CassieLee22

    Helloooooo Chris Hemsworth – also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Emily-Smith/12431153 Emily Smith

    buh.  check please.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4501978 Martha Jackson Deutsch

    am i the only one who doesn’t dig this body type? i just don’t want a man whose boobs are bigger than mine.

    • mhleta

      I agree. Too much beef.  

  • BazoDee

    Soooo pretty! 

  • JMB_edits

    I feel like Homer Simpson staring at a donut, “Hummna, humna, humna”  *wipes drool

  • Lexie

    meow!

  • carpediva

    Oh, Hemsworth for the sweet, sweet win.

    That second pic: damn, make a girl need to take a private solo break away from work!

  • hmariec19

    Sweet Jesus on a whole wheat cracker. But… gotta go with Hemsworth. Love me some Thor.

  • http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

    WELL, THEN!  

  • laylagalise

    There’s not even a contest. Manganiello.

  • Sara__B

    Manganiello for the win.

  • judybrowni

    hummanah hummanah

    or however that’s spelled

  • http://twitter.com/foodycatAlicia foodycatAlicia

    Is this part of the “It’s Tom’s birthday and we have better things to do” strategy? Because this is a distraction technique that works, guys!

    ETA any chance of a correction on the spelling of Sydney? No rush…

    • http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/ Tom and Lorenzo

      Done : )

  • saanrio

    Definitely Hemsworth.  Can’t put my finger on it, but not digging the other… might be the moobs, not sure.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/GZ6CQPKUQ7QTJG4ANKYDG7ZUII Ashley

    I am in absolute lust with Hemsworth right now, so I say him (though I do wish he weren’t so pasty but whatever). But basically we win.

  • boomchicabowwow

    Which one are you getting for your bithday Tom?!  Personaly, I have a thing for Thor….

  • http://asskickingadviser.com/ Ass Kicking Adviser

    oh my god. Happy Birthday indeed!

  • http://angryfemur.tumblr.com Andrea Lane

    I’ll have a Number 2, please. No, no need to wrap it. Thanks!

  • http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

    It’s Tom’s birthday, but we get the presents.  Thanks, and many happy returns of the day, T!

  • http://cheekypinky.wordpress.com/ Rebecca

    DOOOOO JEEEEESUS.

  • Cheri Lee

    DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!

  • kikisayshi

    Well hello there. Need some help with those shorts?

  • tinyredlocks

    Drooooooool…. Both are yummy, but I’ll take the brunette over the blonde, if I must choose.

  • Lisa Kramp

    Thank you, TLO. Thank you very very very very very very very much!

  • elzatelzabelz

    Um….w-o-a-h. Drooling.

  • quiltrx

    They both look more delicious than a $10 cupcake…
    …but I’ll have to choose Joe this time.  I like his suit/shorts/whatever better, and mmmmm…that look on his face just makes me want to attack him.

  • Nanaia

    Yum. Just Yum.

  • http://twitter.com/poptartsjen Pop Tarts Jen

    Why, hello there, boys! They both look excellent. I’d probably give the edge to Joe, because Chris is a little too pale and he’s wearing a silly ponytail. Still, I wouldn’t kick either of them out of bed for eating crackers! (My husband might object if they were eating crackers in our bed, though! He’s no fun at all.)

  • TieDye64

    Ooooooooh my. Sorry. Manganiello FTW ALL the way! Right now I really don’t give a shit that he can’t act his way out of a paper bag.

  • http://twitter.com/pag_baj Paige Boerman

    Oh, Lordy. Get the smelling salts.

  • Dan Kramer

    ummm Joe for sure. At least Joe looks like a reasonably proportioned HUMAN BEING. Chris is all over the place. It’s like he isn’t sure which muscle group needs immediate attention. I can’t with him. However for argument’s sake, their heads both look decisively small. 

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bob-Sponge/100000465550991 Bob Sponge

    Well well. Merry Christmas to me.

  • CQAussie

    Oh holy shit.  That’s too much.  I’m having a stroke, someone call 911!

  • Sally Brownson

    I love them both, but Joe wins this time. Chris’ upper arms are just a little bit too much.

  • RzYoung

    Sheeeeeeeeeeit!

  • http://opinionandamovie.blogspot.com/ Deitra S.

    I guess this means Tom’s birthday is like a birthday for all of us.  Bless you both!  And I hope Tom had a lovely birthday :) <3

  • bloggertobenamedlater

    Sweet holy Jesus. That should be illegal. 

  • guest2visits

    Suddenly I want to go for a swim.

  • http://twitter.com/vintagegoddess just julie

    dear god…

  • ri_dic

    Too beefy.

  • BrightsideSusan

    You ladies made me go back to see the “happy trails”  – omg.

  • http://twitter.com/LOfficielEbony TheVeryLivingEND

    Chris Hemsworth looks like he’s wrapping up to come back to our cabanna for a little closed curtain fun (that was the BEST fantasy I’ve ever had…ever).

  • Srw27

    Yes please…times a million…

  • Vodeeodoe

    Wolfdude for the win. Anyone commenting on manboobs, talk to me when you’ve acquired a six pack, a side pack, an ass pack and you are 35 or older and over 6 feet tall and are dreamy-a** gorgeous.

  • Vodeeodoe

    Chris is 28 or 29, Joe is 35 or 36. Let’s hope Chris can keep up when he hits that age.
