Not for nothing but Hugh Jackman is still and will forever be a sexy, sexy man. Forget the fact that he is a great actor, forget the fact that he is incredibly hot … the fact that he is all these things AND an amazing and considerate father to his children makes him sexy beyond words. He also looks pretty good in these little shorty shorts so … well, you see my point. People magazine may have stripped him from his Sexiest Man Alive title but I contend that his sexiness will never, ever die. Can I get a Woot! y’all?

LOL! It should come as no surprise that grabbing one’s junk in this manner is a practice enjoyed by all men … and for a range of reasons … but it is quite funny when someone is caught in the act like this. Ahh … seeing this photo kinda gives his last name new meaning, don’t you think? Woooooot!!

Yeah, I’m totally convinced that Hugh has more fun on these outings than his daughter does. Sure, she always look like she’s in complete BLISS when she’s running around the playground but you can tell that Hugh is having as much (if not MORE) fun himself. I really love seeing these photos of Hugh Jackman with his children … we don’t see as much of his older son Oscar Maximilian (who is prolly gettin’ a bit too old to play with his pop on a playground) but the pics with Ava are to die for. Man, wouldn’t it be fun to play with Hugh Jackman for an afternoon?

As this HAWT screencap from his movie Australia illustrates, there is a lot to celebrate today … Hugh Jackman is 41 years old and he looks damn good, don’t you think? I hope all y’all will join me in sending Happy Birthday wishes and lots of lurve to Hugh today. Here’s to many more birthdays and lots of shirtless yumminess in the years to come!!

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again … Hugh Jackman looks like he is the funnest/coolest/sweetest dad EVER! He appears to ALWAYS have time to play with his children despite the fact that he is a very bizzy actor in both screen and on stage. No matter his schedule, you can be sure that Hugh makes ample time to spend with his family. Father and daughter look like they are having the time of their lives … it’s just too adorable for words.

Aren’t they just the perfect picture of happy family bliss? While I am none too pleased that the Fall season has come upon us so quickly, I’m glad to see that some folks are able to enjoy it. I’m quite happy with the heat that we still have in SoCal and look forward to many more weeks of soaring temps. But, these photos of the Jackmans enjoying a day at the pumpkin patch does paint a very nice picture of the season. It looks like everyone is having a lot of fun … especially Hugh with his two pink ponies ;)

We don’t get to see much of Ms. Furness here on the blog but I thought these pics of Hugh and his ladies were too cute not to share. As you may know, Hugh is in NYC these days cuz he is performing with Daniel Craig on Broadway in a play called A Steady Rain. I’m thinkin’ Hugh was all dressed up for the show (about two Chicago cops) when these pics were snapped. Ava and Deborra are a couple of lucky ladies, don’tcha think?

Christopher McQuarrie has signed on to write the script for Fox’s sequel to its “Wolverine” movie. Hugh Jackman is set to return as the Marvel Comics character, a mutant with healing powers and a skeleton laced with the indestructible metal known as adamantium. Jackman is also producing via his Fox-based Seed shingle along with Lauren Shuler Donner. The movie’s story line will take its cue from the early 1980s Chris Claremont/Frank Miller miniseries, which is set in Japan and features Wolverine dealing with ninjas as he struggles whether to follow his animal killer instincts or the life under a samurai’s code of honor and respect. The story line was hinted at in one of the movie’s codas after the credits. (The other teased a spinoff based on Deadpool, the character played by Ryan Reynolds.) The studio put a sequel in development after the movie, titled “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” carved up almost $180 million at the domestic boxoffice and $363 million worldwide. McQuarrie is not unfamiliar with the character. The scribe, who won an Oscar for writing “The Usual Suspects” for Bryan Singer, reteamed with the director to write 2000’s “X-Men.” Though McQuarrie could have received a credit, he voluntarily took his name off the movie when the final version was more in line with David Hayter’s script than his.

Thank Lord Jebus above … securing the guy who wrote the amazing film The Usual Suspects is quite a boon for a movie like this. That film was excellent, so chances are Wolverine 2 will be pretty good … or, at the very least, better than the movie that was released this year. I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine … even if all the movies suck, he is still deffo worth seeing in theaters ;)

“Twilight” struck a vein at the Teen Choice Awards. The adolescent vampire drama dominated Sunday’s ceremony with 11 wins, including choice movie drama, romance, liplock, rumble and soundtrack. Kristen Stewart won the movie drama actress category while Robert Pattinson picked up two surfboard-shaped trophies — one for movie drama actor, another for male hottie. “We’ll see you guys in theaters November 20th,” co-star Taylor Lautner teased the squealing crowd. Lautner and Ashley Greene, who will appear alongside Stewart and Pattinson in the upcoming “Twilight” sequel “New Moon,” were honored as the male and female movie fresh faces while Cam Gigandet was crowned movie villain. “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke joined the cast on stage to accept the adaptation’s pack of trophies. The Teen Choice Awards, which were selected by over 83 million votes cast online, honor celebrities in TV, film, music and sports. Several winners — including 16-year-old Miley Cyrus and show hosts the Jonas Brothers — took home multiple trophies at the 11th annual ceremony at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Gibson Amphitheatre. Cyrus sailed away with six awards, winning for comedy TV show and actress for “Hannah Montana;” music/dance movie actress and hissy fit for “Hannah Montana: The Movie;” music single for “The Climb” and summer song for “Before the Storm” with the Jonas Brothers. Cyrus also presented Britney Spears the ultimate choice award. “I’m a huge fans of hers,” Cyrus said before a subdued Spears accepted her own surfboard. The Jonas Brothers won five trophies, including choice male red carpet icons. They kicked off the show performing on a tiny stage that moved through the audience. Throughout the taped ceremony, the trio completed dares submitted by fans. At one point, younger brother Nick was challenged to hug a lineup of female fans. “It’s just hugs,” Joe cautioned the women. “You’re not going for long-term relationships here, girls.” Other big winners included “Gossip Girl” and Zac Efron. Chace Crawford, Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick picked up TV drama actor, actress, villain and TV series awards for the sudsy CW show while Efron won for music/dance movie actor in “High School Musical 3″ and comedy movie actor and rockstar moment in “17 Again.” The ceremony itself was peppered with several odd moments. Kathy Griffin arrived on the red carpet with Levi Johnston, the teenage ex-fiance of Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Mike Tyson took shears to Joe Jonas’ head as part of stunt. And before presenting the choice hottie awards, comedian Dane Cook pleaded to Vanessa Hudgens to keep her clothes on. The Teen Choice Awards is scheduled to air Monday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

LOL! Yes, it was Dane Cook’s shout-out to Vanessa Hudgens’s nekkid pics that was the TRUE highlight of the show … which you can watch HERE just in case FOX decides not to air the interaction on TV tonight. After the jump, check out pics from the show of some of the winners collecting their surf board awards and check out the FULL VERY LONG LIST of Teen Choice Award Winners …

I suppose I should note that Hugh’s wife and the kids mother Deborra-Lee Furness was in attendance at this cute birthday lunch but, dagnabbit, if she didn’t get cut out of the photos again. It’s been some time since we’ve seen Hugh out and about with his kiddies … and now that the Summer weather is heating up, I’m hoping we’ll get to see more pics of Hugh wearing as little clothing as possible ;) Oh yeah … and Happy Birthday, Ava Eliot!
