First Gerard Butler in handcuffs, and now a little Clive Owen first thing in the morning. Am I the luckiest gossip blogger ever or what? They are my top two guys, sometimes interchanged, but currently Clive ranks number one. CB and I were chatting about our “top two” yesterday – her top two are Johnny Depp and Matt Damon. While I can appreciate and respect those picks, I don’t understand how anyone can look at Clive and not see a burning hunk of Pure Man. Sigh…

Anyway, this is Clive at an event for Heineken. The beer company is “introducing the UEFA Champions League Soccer Trophy to the USA”. And Clive is some kind of big soccer/football dude. So manly. Yes, I have no idea what any of this about. But it’s Clive in a suit, damn it! Let me ogle him. It just occurred to me that Clive has the kind of George Hamilton perma-tan thing going on. Like he’s too good to be pale. I kind of dig it on Clive though. Because he is the sex.

Anyway, in other Clive news, he’s just signed on to costar with Jason Statham in a film called The Killer Elite. According to Screen Rant, it’s “based on Ranulph Fiennes’ novel ‘The Feathermen,’ and follows ‘a group of former British special forces members who are being hunted by assassins. Statham will play a former Navy Seal who is forced out of retirement to save his closest friend.’” Clive and Jason will presumably be playing friends, maybe. Whatever. I hope he wears a suit and carries a gun. Mm…
