Rob Lowe shirtless is best advertisement the state of California could hope for


The Insider and Entertainment Tonight have a series of segments which are basically paid advertisements for the California Tourism board, but that’s ok because they’re kind of brilliant. Here’s one of their latest (above) featuring the preternaturally young looking Rob Lowe. Lowe explains about how awesome California is for outdoor enthusiasts with activities like skiing, surfing and bicycle riding. Judging from how hot he is it also seems to do wonders for one’s complexion. Unlike a lot of other wealthy famous Californians who attempt to achieve youth through chemistry, Lowe genuinely looks about 15 years younger than his age (47). In a recent interview with In Touch, Lowe said that he’s not about to get any plastic surgery either. I thought that was a Californian’s birth right. That and medicinal pot.

With his sparkling blue eyes and boyish charm, Hollywood veteran Rob Lowe is still a heartthrob. But as he nears 50, the father of two doesn’t fear losing the looks that helped make him a household name three decades ago. “I’m not worried about chronological years,” Rob, the director of the web video Butterfinger the 13th, available on Facebook, tells In Touch in an exclusive interview, adding that he has never even considered plastic surgery or Botox. “I don’t think guys should be monkeying around with that stuff.”

So without a quick fix, how does the actor plan on staying so hot? Rob credits his sons, Edward, 18, and John, 16, with keeping him fit. “I’m outside surfing, diving, you name it,” he says. “I’m very cool with my teenagers.”

[From In Touch]

If that’s the result of living in that climate sign me up. At least get me there on vacation if there are more guys like Lowe around. I’m more of a city girl and am not the outdoorsy type, but given how hot those type of guys are I should at least go buy a pair of hiking boots. I’ll ride my bike and try to surf. There’s no way in hell you’re ever going to get me to go white water rafting or mountain climbing though. I have to draw the line somewhere.

These are just gratuitous shirtless photos of Rob Lowe, plus some event photos where he’s looking dapper. The photo of him in the casual-type suit is from 10-12-11, but it looks like it could have been taken in the 80s! He’s also shown in a tux on 5-16-11 with his wife. Credit: Fame

Taylor Lautner & a bizarre Jackson Rathbone: hot or they do nothing for you?

wenn3611160
I will admit to finding Jackson Rathbone attractive in the past. Like not here at TheBreaking Dawn Part 1 premiere at all, not with the Vegas red velvet suit, the black tie and vest with chains, and the obvious makeup. Also not in any of the Twilight movies, where he has that freaky bleached blonde hair and the serial killer eyes that are unique to the Cullen family. (If they’re not real family members, and are just a rag tag bunch of vampires of varying ages, why do they have to all look like that? It’s probably explained in the books that I skimmed.) I thought this guy was hot in the past, when he was working a well put together rocker look a la Jason Mraz.

Let’s revisit that look for Rathbone, from August, 2010. Look how adorable he is with floppy hair, a cute hat and the right amount of scruff.
wenn2953393

And look at him now. Weird, right? One of the suggested searches for Jackson Rathbone on Google is “Jackson Rathbone gay,” but there’s not a verdict on that and some sites say he has a girlfriend. He looks like a poorly dressed rocker to me, not that it matters. He’s super fug here yet he looks oddly confident. Is this outfit some kind of cheeky joke? That’s the only excuse for it.

Taylor Lautner resembled a Wall Street banker in this very stodgy but stylish suit and tie. He does nothing for me, and I tend to associate him with his whiny bitch character in Twilight. I don’t think of Robert Pattinson as an emotionally abusive stalker, but maybe that’s because he done other roles. Lautner will be Jacob for me for a while. Also, this scruff makes him look like a high school student trying to grow a beard for the first time. Still, I can see how some teeny boppers would find him dreamy.

To cleanse our palettes, lets gaze at Rob Lowe, who isn’t in the movie of course but scored an invite to the premiere. He’s wearing a black shirt with a blue suit, and it looks like his pants are too long for him, but still he’s gorgeous. This dude is 47. There’s a scary aged bloated photo of him hidden in an attic somewhere.

Also here is his wife. I get the sense that they are super kinky.

Rob Lowe’s man-nipples cover Vanity Fair, promote his autobiography

lowe1

Wow, the confessions keep coming this morning. I must be in a particularly honest mood. Here you go: I don’t really care for Rob Lowe. I put him in the “Patrick Dempsey category” of pretty-boys who try to sell me an image of a wholesome family and nothing sketchy whatsoever. I don’t buy it with Dempsey, and I don’t buy it with Lowe. I also don’t care for him as an actor – the overly-earnest dramatic actor thing gets exhausting fast, but I will give Lowe credit for his comedic chops – he’s a better comedic actor than a dramatic actor. All I know is that The West Wing got so much better when Lowe left, and I’ve never been encouraged to watch anything when Lowe is added to the cast. Which is why I don’t watch Parks & Rec.

Anyway, Rob covers the new issue of Vanity Fair, and he’s bringing out his 47-year-old man-nipples. He got the cover because he’s promoting his autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography. You can hear him read an excerpt of his book here, at Vanity Fair, and here are some excerpts from Lowe’s cover story:

New York, N.Y.—“We competed to see who could play harder, then show up for work and still kick ass,” Rob Lowe tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Vanessa Grigoriadis about filming Masquerade in the Hamptons in 1987 while his then buddy, Charlie Sheen, was filming Wall Street. “The verdict: Charlie by a nose.”

Lowe tells Grigoriadis that his friends growing up in Malibu pre-fame were the “uncool” guys who didn’t surf: Chris Penn and Charlie Sheen.

“The cool girls in Malibu had no time for me,” Lowe says. “I wasn’t a beach volleyball player, a surfer, or a quasi-burnout.” However, as Lowe recounts in a Vanity Fair excerpt from his upcoming autobiography, it would be a mere five years after plotting their acting careers in the Sheens’ pool that the actor and his friends would be shot to fame.

Grigroriadis writes that Lowe “wasn’t embarrassed to admit that he began landing the cool girls,” which the actor confessed over the years included Demi Moore, Nastassja Kinski, Princess Stéphanie—who, Lowe remembers “with a fair amount of residual pride,” had a poster of him—and Washington secretary Fawn Hall, whom Lowe tracked down after seeing her at the Oliver North trial.

In his book, Lowe writes that Sheen in his early years was “one-of-a-kind … a Polo preppy clotheshorse in a world of O.P. shorts and surf T-shirts” and “a wonderful mix of nerd … and rebel.”

“At my house we are still saving money by not buying desserts,” Lowe says, comparing his life to that of the Sheens, who lived nearby. “At Charlie’s house, it’s never-ending Häagen-Dazs, brand-new BMWs, a lagoon pool with underwater tunnels, and a lit, professional-grade basketball half-court.”

During the first round of auditions in Los Angeles, Lowe writes of meeting Tom Cruise, then a houseguest of the Sheens: “He’s open, friendly, funny, and has an almost robotic, bloodless focus and an intensity that I’ve never encountered before.” In New York for the second round of auditions, Lowe finds that Cruise is “already showing traits that will make him famous; he’s zeroed in like a laser.”

“We check into the Plaza Hotel. I am taken aback at the luxury and spectacle of the lobby…. The front desk tells us we will be sharing rooms,” Lowe writes of the actors’ arrival in the Big Apple. “In a flash, Cruise is on the phone to his agent, Paula Wagner. ‘Paula, they are making us share,’ he says…. The rest of us are staggering around like happy goofs….. ‘O.K., then. Thank you very much,’ he says like a 50-year-old businessman getting off the phone with his stockbroker. ‘Paula says it’s fine.’ ”

Lowe remembers hanging out with Cruise and the other actors in a gymnasium on set, when Patrick Swayze—who, Lowe writes, “makes Tom Cruise look lobotomized”—“begins to teach us a standing backflip…. When it comes to flips, I’m a pussy. I don’t flip. I don’t even dive into a pool—straight cannonball for me…. No, thanks. Cruise, not surprisingly, is all over it. ‘How about this!’ he says, almost pulling it off without even being spotted. He wipes out, but tries it again immediately.”

Lowe describes the other young actors of The Outsiders, most of whom would later become major names in Hollywood. Patrick Swayze is “as cool as you want, wearing tight jeans and a tattered, sleeveless Harley-Davidson T-shirt revealing his massive, ripped arms. (This is his uniform, he never changes it, and if I looked like him, neither would I.),” Lowe writes. In Vanity Fair’s excerpt, Lowe goes on to describe his Outsiders co-star Matt Dillon as a young ladies’ man—picking up an ogling young fan in the hotel’s lobby; pins Diane Lane as everyone’s set crush (“At only 16, she already seems like a legend.… I watch as she breezes by with her chaperone. With all the teen testosterone on this movie, she’ll need one!”); and recalls how director Francis Ford Coppola had all the actors perform Tai Chi during rehearsal (“How does a 60s greaser know or care about Tai Chi? But if the world’s greatest living director thinks we should stand on our heads to prepare, we should probably do it”).

Lowe tells Grigoriadis that despite a rocky patch following his 80s stardom that landed him in rehab, he has no regrets. “The Brat Pack is timeless,” Lowe says. “We should all be so lucky in our lives to create things that we’re still talking about 25 years later.”

[From Vanity Fair]

Okay, that was more interesting than I thought it would be. But, you can tell that Lowe is being careful to only say nice things about certain people – Tom Cruise (who could still cut a bitch) and Patrick Swayze (who is dead, and therefore it would be rude to say mean things about him).

I have to say, I don’t hate the idea of a middle-aged B-list star writing a “tell-all” about his experiences in Hollywood. I guess I don’t mind it because I doubt Lowe will really be “telling all”. He still wants to work, after all.

Rob Lowe is shirtless, fabulous & 20 years sober for Men’s Fitness

lowe2

Last week or the week before, we got an email suggestion nominating Rob Lowe for Hot Guy Friday. I said no – Rob Lowe annoys me, in general. It’s not that I think he’s untalented. He had his moments in The West Wing, although the show really picked up after he left/was fired. But I’ve always thought Rob was a very underrated comedian – his smaller parts working with Mike Meyers were genius, and I always hoped that he would stop with the heavy dramas and start with the solid comedic career. He must have been listening to me, because he joined the cast of Parks and Recreation, and he’s also got a recurring character on Californication.

But what I really wanted to say is that Rob Lowe looks great, doesn’t he? I don’t get hot for him, but I can still admire him for being beautiful. And this is a beautiful man – great body, great face, aging very well. He’s 46 years old! I can’t believe it. And he’s been sober for 20 years – amazing. About his sobriety, Lowe says: “I’ve been sober for 20 years, but you gotta get your fix some way. At a certain point you realize a whole lot of espresso doesn’t do it. That’s why I like helicopter skiing and big-wave surfing. It’s a way for me to keep my edge.” Et cetera. He talks all about his training and stuff, but I barely care. So here’s the question: does Lowe make you hot? Would you hit it?

Jimmy Kimmel voted out of Handsome Club by Affleck, McConaughey


Last night after the Oscars and local news Jimmy Kimmel aired a funny skit called The Handsome Men’s Club featuring cameos by such attractive souls as Sting, Patrick Dempsey, a shirtless Gilles Marini (from Sex and The City), Rob Lowe, John Kraskinski, Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hartnett, Taye Diggs, Tony Romo, Keith Urban, Lenny Kravitz, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The bit went on way too long and was just an excuse to add cameos by countless celebrities. Every time you turned around it seemed a new celebrity was shown sitting around the ever-expanding table. The premise was that Kimmel was the head of the self-obsessed Handsome Men’s Club and was being voted out by the members for not being handsome enough. Matthew McConaughey challenged Kimmel’s presidency and then Rob Lowe pointed out that Kimmel was wearing Spanx. Kimmel countered that he looked just like Taye Diggs, to which Taye and the members objected.

The whole thing was ridiculous and was capped off in true Kimmel style with his buddies Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Affleck voted against Kimmel, shamefaced, and then Damon entered at the end and laughed maniacally, telling us we were out of time (a long running Kimmel gag). Next we saw Kimmel in bed spooning with his lover Affleck, realizing the whole thing was a bad dream. Affleck reassured Kimmel that he was attractive and was his “big daddy handsome,” at which point Ben’s wife, Jennifer Garner, popped out of bed and said “Ben, that’s enough, it’s getting weird.”

I didn’t think Kimmel could top his “f’ing Ben Affleck” response to then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman’s viral video, “I’m f’ing Matt Damon.” He did, though, sort of. It was more by sheer star power rather than hilarity, although I was pretty amused, particularly by Damon. He always manages to crack me up.

Rob Lowe on his 19 years of sobriety after the sex tape scandal

fp_3653263_rij_invention_lying_092109
Actor Rob Lowe and his wife of 18 years, Sheryl, have one of those interviews in Hello! Magazine in which they show the inside of their lovely home accompanied by quotes about their wonderful life. The Lowes have had their share of difficulties lately, especially all their legal problem after a couple of seemingly frivolous sexual harassment lawsuits filed by former nannies. (I don’t think Lowe or his wife are in any way culpable and both lawsuits were dismissed. Read this article if you’d like to learn more about that story.)

The Lowes don’t talk to Hello! about the Nannygate scandal at all, and Rob only tangentially mentions his troubled past. They make it sound as if everything is pretty great in their lives, and that’s probably true. Some of their quotes are eyeroll-inducing. Overall they seem pretty normal though, and very supportive of each other. They talk about what makes their marriage successful and Lowe also answers some personal question about his 19 years of sobriety.

Lowe of course was involved in a huge scandal in 1988 when a sex tape emerged showing him having a threesome with two women, one of whom was just 16. Lowe met the underage girl and her friend at a bar and was unaware that they were under 21. While reviewing the details on Wikipedia about this 20 year-old scandal I learned that there was another part of the tape showing Lowe and a male friend having sex with a model. After the tape came out Lowe went to rehab for alcoholism and sex addiction, and it sounds like he never looked back. He told Hello! that he’ll serve wine to guests but won’t have a glass himself. He doesn’t mention the sex tape scandal and the interviewer doesn’t bring it up.

You’ve led a sober life for 19 years. Is Sheryl on that same path?
“Sheryl is what they call a ‘normie.’ She doesn’t have the problem. And when I have guests, I want to serve them a great bottle of wine. I enjoy people who are enjoying themselves.”

Did your experience affect what you told your sons about temptations they may face?
“They know that I’m sober, obviously. But they’re also raised in a household where if a guest is having a glass of wine, it isn’t the boogie man. It’s totally about a well-balanced view.”

But you don’t ever have a glass of wine yourself?
“Never ever. For me, what works is early on I bought into the very standard thing about sobriety. You either are an addict/alcoholic or you are not. Some people say ‘You were 26 years old, maybe it’s different now.’ They may be right. But for me, it’s not worth finding out. At that moment, it [sobriety] made all the difference in my life. I don’t know that my life would be where it is today without it. And I love my life today. So I look back thinking it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever done.”

I’m of the opinion that whatever it takes to keep you happy and in control of your life, you do. If you’re a person who cuts loose occasionally but can otherwise have a glass of wine or two, then go ahead. Many alcoholics completely abstain because they don’t want to go down that path again. I have an aunt who’s a lot like Lowe in that she stopped drinking in her mid 20s and hasn’t had a glass since. There’s something so impressive about that.

Lowe seems like he’s learned a lot since his wild youth and that he loves to be a husband and father. Rob and Sheryl have two teenage boys, Matthew, 16, and Johnson, 13. Rob says he’s “very proud of them” and that “they inspire me.” Lowe is promoting his roles in the film The Invention of Lying with Ricky Gervais and the television series “Sisters and Brothers.”

Ricky Gervais: Jennifer Garner’s favorite curse word is ‘rats’

tff invention of lying 2 150909
The Invention of Lying premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last night, and its three biggest stars showed up to walk the red carpet – Ricky Gervais (who not only stars, he’s co-writer and co-director), Jennifer Garner and… Rob Lowe. I’m not a huge Rob Lowe person, so I tend to think Rob showed up to promote his smaller, supporting part in the film just because he really didn’t have anything else to do. The film is about a guy (Gervais) who lives in a world where no one ever lies, so the guy invents lying for his own gain. The film also stars Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Jonah Hill and a slew of other comedians and character actors. It actually looks really good.

Jennifer Garner walked the red carpet for the premiere in a rather stunning, strapless, tiered, green cocktail dress. I can’t find who designed this dress to save my life – to my eye, it looks like Prada, or maybe Oscar de la Renta. Jennifer accessorized with beige and gold platform heels that kind of wash out her legs. But I love her hair when she actually puts some effort into it. She looks really cute – even stunning – when she tries.

My favorite from the red carpet was Ricky Gervais though. I love this man. I love the silly faces he’s making on the red carpet. I like that his version of dressing up is a nice pair of pants, a nice sweater and no tie or jacket. He still looks awesome though!

At the press conference before the premiere, and on the red carpet, Jennifer and Ricky were acting out, of course. Jennifer told reporters that her favorite lie about herself (told by the tabloids) was “There was a lie, just recently, that I have had my lips done, I felt like, have you seen my mum, or my sisters?” Jennifer also gave the lie she’d like to spread around: “I saved a family of twelve by myself as they were burning in a car. I pulled them out and saved them all.”

Rob, Ricky and Jennifer also discussed the Kanye incident, with Jennifer saying, “that’s not honesty, that’s just bad manners. You can choose at any time whether to be civil or not civil — what is the point of thinking it’s cool to wear your honesty on your sleeve at the expense of everyone else?” Ricky praised Jennifer as inherently good, noting “Jen doesn’t even swear. She says things like ‘darn’ and ‘dang’. I asked her what her favourite swear word was, and she said ‘rats’.”

Ricky Gervais talked about the high-concept foundation for the film, saying “A world without lies actually wouldn’t be a very good world…because it would be artless. There would be no white lies, no flattery — I mean, losers don’t need to be told they’re losers every day.” In case you didn’t figure it out, Ricky identifies with “losers” – which makes me wonder why he cast Jennifer Garner as his love interest…

Melissa Gilbert cheated on Rob Lowe with John Cusack

melissagilbertroblowe
Last week Star Magazine had advance details from Melissa Gilbert’s upcoming memoir, Prairie Tale. Gilbert writes that Shannen Doherty, her co-star on “Little House on the Prairie,”slept with her first husband, Bo Brinkman, when they were still married. Star has more juicy findings from the book, including the detail that Melissa cheated on then-fiance Rob Lowe in the 80s with hot commodity John Cusack – who just happened to be Lowe’s best friend. Lucky girl! It wasn’t a clear cut case of betrayal, though, because Lowe was stepping out on her too:

In her new autobiography, Melissa reveals she even slept with her fiance’s best friend – just to get back at him.

Melissa was engaged to Rob Lowe when he went off to make the movie The Hotel New Hampshire in Canada, she writes in Prairie Tale, according to a publishing insider faimliar with the book.

“Rob asked his pal John Cusack to look after Melissa while he was away,” says the source. But it wasn’t long before Melissa learned that Rob was having a torrid affair with his costar Nastassja Kinski. “So, out of revenge, Melissa had a fling with John!”

Melissa and Rob’s whole relationship was on and off. “She writes that she was deeply in love with him and was devastated when they split,” says the source. “She started dating a wonderful guy she adored, but then Rob reappeared and proposed to her.”

Melissa broke up with her new man, and everything was great with Rob – until she found she was pregnant, says the source. “Rob was young and began freaking out, and he and Melissa broke up for good. Melissa reveals that she ended up having a miscarriage.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, June 8, 2009]

How sad that Lowe dumped Gilbert when he found out she was pregnant! They were obviously having other problems in their relationship, but that must have been heartbreaking to lose the baby afterwards.

Gilbert is a busy Twitterer, and she’s very gracious about answering her fans’ questions. She said in answer to a question if she was getting nervous about her book release on June 9 that she was “Kind of freaked out. I’m re-reading it and it’s just so personal…yikes!” Gilbert also said that she had to clean her house for a People Magazine photo shoot so we can expect to see a nice spread with her ahead of the book release. I would bet this book is a big success for Melissa. She sure put enough dirt in there to earn a lot of headlines when she’s promoting it.

Scamming nanny drops lawsuit against Rob Lowe


Rob Lowe was sued for sexual harassment by an ex nanny, Jessica Gibson, in April of last year. Gibson alleged that Lowe tried to get her to touch his manhood and that he and his wife openly discussed their sex lives and routinely walked around the house naked. Lowe filed a peremptory suit for defamation, saying that Gibson was trying to extort money from him.

Gibson’s story didn’t add up
I was willing to believe Gibson at first, but there were so many inconsistencies in her story, and so many people who spoke out against her, that she didn’t seem credible at all. Gibson worked for the Lowes for seven years and returned to work for them twice after she quit for the first time. She never filed any harassment complaints with her supervisor, the police, or the state department of labor. She never told her family or friends about any supposed harassment. Her mother, father, and sister all told People Magazine they were surprised by the allegations because it was the first they had heard of it.

Her sister said she was doing it for money; male employees said she hit on them
Gibson’s own sister issued a sworn statement that her sister told that she wouldn’t have sued if the Lowes would have paid her $200 they owed her. She also claimed Jessica said she was hoping for a large cash settlement. Two other employees of the Lowes, a chef and a tennis instructor, issued separate declarations in which they detailed the ways that Gibson hit on them relentlessly and tried to solicit sex. Several other employees issued declarations on the Lowes’ behalf.

As if all of that isn’t enough, Gibson was also represented by vampire celebrity attorney Gloria Allred. Allred went after the Lowes with venom, admitting that she sent over 100 requests for documents and saying she was anxious to interview them in person. “I’m looking forward to sitting eye to eye with the Lowes,” Allred said, adding that it might make them “uncomfortable.”


In a joint interview with Allred on The Today Show Gibson looked like she was trying not to crack up laughing the whole time. Allred answered most of the questions, Gibson couldn’t explain why she kept working for the Lowes for seven years if she was being harassed, and it just came across like a scam.

Not surprisingly, Gibson has finally dropped her lawsuit and the Lowes have also dropped their suit against her. It’s unknown if any money changed hands, although given everything I’ve seen I would hope that Gibson was at least forced to pay the Lowes’ legal bills.


The Lowes are being sued by another nanny, a woman named Laura Boyce who is also repped by Gloria Allred. Boyce doesn’t claim that Rob Lowe harassed her, but says that his wife, Sheryl, walked around naked and discussed her sex life in a way that made her uncomfortable. In a press conference that Allred held to introduce her new client, Allred ran the show while Boyce cried the entire time with her head down. When reporters asked Boyce a question, Allred covered her mouth so that she wouldn’t speak. That case is probably going to get thrown out too.

I’m glad to see this ended well for the Lowes, but it’s got to have been a hard, expensive battle that cost them a lot of money, time and effort. You also have to wonder what kind of effect it had on Lowe’s career. If you have a lot of sympathy for the accusers, which is natural as you wonder why people would go through all this trouble if it wasn’t true, please read through our past coverage of this and all the evidence to the contrary. I paid close attention to these cases, and it’s hard to come to any other conclusion than the fact that it was a shakedown.

Rob Lowe is ‘too tan” according to TV bosses

stand up to cancer 060908

Apparently Hollywood really is jumping on my “pasty is sexy” campaign. I knew if I plugged it long enough, if was bound to pay off. “Brothers & Sisters” star Rob Lowe has recently been on the receiving end of some stern warnings from studio bosses. Why? For his overly-tanned face. Now to be fair, Rob isn’t really overly tanned. He claims that if you put anyone next to Calista Flockhart, you’re going to look well-done in comparison.

Rob Lowe has been ordered to stay out of the sun after his TV bosses objected to him becoming too tanned. Skip related content

The actor, who plays Senator Robert McCallister on hit U.S. show Brothers & Sisters, lives in sunny Montecito, California with his wife and their teen sons and is an avid sportsman.

But the 44-year-old star had to give up playing outdoor sports with his family after his bosses were angered by his sunkissed complexion.

He says, “I got a phone call from the president of ABC who said, ‘You’re getting too dark. Seriously, stay out of the sun.’ I go, ‘I’m not tanning. I’m active. I surf and I kayak.’”

And Lowe blames his pale co-stars for him now having to slather on the sunscreen before stepping outside.

He adds, “If you stand next to Calista Flockhart, anybody’s going to look like (singer) Harry Belafonte. I wear (sunscreen) over my entire face and a hat that has a chin strap. I look like the biggest idiot.”

[From Yahoo! News]

Ahh, nothing adds to the inherent sexiness of pasty more than a hat with a chin strap. Well, maybe really big glasses and long sleeves. That’s a pretty hot look right there. Rarely do I defend anyone who is capable of getting a tan, due to my seething halfbino jealousy. But in this case I gotta say Rob doesn’t exactly look like George Hamilton or anything. I can definitely believe his skin is that shade from the sun, not the tanning booth. That said, sunscreen is always your friend. I use SPF 85, and if you think I’m kidding, you’re wrong. And I’m not going to have all sort of weird splotches and melanomas when I’m 40 (ahem, Britney Spears). I’m sure in the long run his bosses are doing Rob a favor. And in the short run, he’s doing Calista Flockhart a favor.
