Memorial Day is just a few days away and with it ushers in summer blockbusters and, more importantly, the hot Hollywood actors starring in them! From the much-welcome return of Mr. Summer Movie himself Will Smith to super hot superheroes like Andrew Garfield and Chris Hemsworth, here's a roundup of the action-packed flicks that will be hitting the big screen this season and the gorgeous guys that will be heating them (and us!) up all summer long.]]> Memorial Day is just a few days away and with it ushers in summer blockbusters and, more importantly, the hot Hollywood actors starring in them!

Will Smith

Memorial Day weekend is simply not complete without Mr. Smith blowing up the big screen, and this MWD will be no different. The Fresh Prince is back in black for the third installment of the Men in Black series out May 25th, this time doing intergalactic fighting alongside Josh Brolin. It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen the Hitch hunk on the screen (his last film was Seven Pounds in ’08), and MIB3 will not only be the perfect way to get summer started but also a nice little reunion with our beloved Will.

Gilles Marini

French actor Gilles Marini doesn’t have to do much to get attention—all it takes is a shirtless-glistening-bod photo to do the job! Marini made his big-screen debut in Sex and the City as Samantha Jones’s sexy (and naked!) neighbor—with a hot neighbor like him, who needs a boyfriend? The Grasse-born gent followed it up by shaking his bon bon in Dancing with the Stars and with TV roles on Brothers & Sisters, Modern Family, Hot in Cleveland and more. Whether he’s a good actor or not is hard to tell—actually, it’s just plain hard to focus on his acting skills at all when he looks this good!

Now we're all for hooking up with an older man but there's a big difference shacking up with a George Clooney-suave type versus a Woody Allen-Bengay type. If an intimate dinner consists of me watching you readjust your dentures, I’ll have to pass! The older guy-younger gal dynamic is a tale as old as time, seen in age gap-touting celeb couples ranging from cute (ex: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) to creepy (we're looking at you Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson!).

The older guy-younger gal dynamic is a tale as old as time, seen in age gap-touting celeb couples ranging from cute (ex: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) to creepy (we’re looking at you Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson!). There’s a very fine line between hot and Hefner—sure, with an older gent, you get perks like experience and confidence, but society may do a double take when you smooch on your 50+ sweetheart or even confuse him for your dad, or worse, your grandpa! Whatever the case, before checking that 40 or 50-something box, definitely get acquainted with the pros and cons of dating an older guy.

-Kenia Mazariegos

Pros

1. Less likely to play mind games: If he’s in his forties or fifties, you won’t have to wonder “Does he like me? Why is he blowing hot ‘n’ cold? Did I do something wrong? Why isn’t he returning my bloody calls?!” There’s the exception to the rule, but 99% of the time he will implement a strict “No BS Rule.” In other words, if he likes you, you’ll know. If he wants to see you, you’ll know. If he’s feeling unsure about you, you’ll know. Older men want more than an occasional booty call so chances are, he’ll take you and the relationship seriously.

2. Has a ton of Sexual Experience: Last summer, I met this older guy who was so good in bed, I gave a silent prayer thanking God for his, um, hard work. Let’s just say it was a great summer! With years of practice, older men have made perfect and mastered the art of the female anatomy. If he was ever shy in the bedroom, that age difference gave him enough time to get over those fears, refine his bedroom skills and turn into your personal Karma Sutra. They’re all about giving and giving, and pleasing and pleasing. They’re patient, take their time and, most importantly, pay attention to your body,which is saying a lot considering younger guys are often too eager to finish the job!

3. Financially stable and has a set career: Generally speaking, older guys are usually well-established and in a better financial position than their younger counterparts. What does this mean to you? Cha-ching! Ha—just kidding! But it’s safe to say, older guys take pleasure making you feel secure in the relationship, plus it always feels nice when a guy lavishes you with presents like flowers and candy.

4. Full of wisdom and life experience: Dating an older guy has always afforded me the opportunity to learn new things—they have so much life experience that it’s only natural to be intrigued by the many lessons they’ve learned over the years. Not only will he be full of information, but great advice too!

5. Isn’t afraid to tell you what he wants:I love a confident man—I mean, who doesn’t? There’s just something sexy about a guy who knows he’s a catch and isn’t afraid to show it. While younger guys confuse confidence with arrogance, older guys know the difference and know when to turn the charm button on. Older guys aren’t afraid to get what they want or tell you what they want, which is great because if he’s just looking to have a casual relationship or something more long term, he will definitely make it clear.

6. Ages like a fine wine:What do George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Richard Gere have in common? Like a full-bodied red, they simply have gotten yummier with age! Time has made these hotties distinguished rather than boyish, which is even better in our book. That salt ‘n’ pepper hair and sophisticated dress code are just a few of the things that make these silver foxes so, well, foxy!

Congratulations! Yes, that’s right—congratulations! Wrenching heartache aside, we think breakups rock. After all, when else do you have the opportunity for deep reflection, soul work and re-ignition? When else can you stare in the mirror and decide, ‘today is the day I begin to think about love differently’?

So put aside the Oreos, sappy movies and binge drinking, and start using your breakup to create a new and improved you with these tips to makeover your mind and heart!

Release: To move forward, it’s essential to release the toxicity that lingers post-breakup. This means abolishing your ex from your digital life. This means dumping his toothbrush, boxer shorts and leftover beer in your fridge. This means taking down couple pics in your pad and earmarked wedding mags you had secretly stashed in hopes of marriage. Only by letting go of the old can you make room for the new!

Scenario #1: The Report Card

The Lie: “Wow that was fast— uh, best sex ever!”

When it comes to sex, nobody wants to be the bearer of bad news. It’s damn right awkward! Instead of faking the big “O,” kindly suggest new and fun ways to heat things up. If he’s a one-minute-man, learn to slow things down and help him relax or if he’s sexually challenged, visit your local bookstore and get acquainted with the self help aisle. Make sure you reassure him by emphasizing what rocks your boat and how you enjoy when he does “this” and “that”—remember, guys are really sensitive about the bedroom so choose your words wisely!

Paul Rudd

With his sweet smile, light blue eyes and surprisingly buff bod, Rudd could have easily gone the typical leading man route after starring as Cher’s ex-stepbrother-turned-slightly-incestuous-boyfriend Josh in Clueless, but instead he served up the silly in flicks like Wet Hot American Summer, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up and slappin’ the bass, mon in I Love You, Man. Rudd has apparently discovered the fountain of youth (seriously, the man does not age!), so he’ll surely be bringing that hot humor for many years to come!

Let’s break it down]]> It’s the engagement heard ‘round the world, an event we’ll be talking about for months to come. Hell, if the sun explodes tomorrow, the last words uttered from crazed celebrity-mongers would be “Who designed your wedding dress, Angie?” That’s right, the King and Queen of Hollywood a.k.a Brangelina are tying the knot after seven long years of dating, so all you skeptics can let that “finally!” out. The gorgeous pair got me thinking—now, I know relationships take time to develop and grow, but just how long is too long to wait to get married? When should you stay and when should you say sayonara? Let’s break it down:

- Jinee Son

When to Wait It Out

First of all, if you’re two months into the relationship, you shouldn’t even be thinking about marriage yet. Six months, nine months, hell, twelve months—it’s still way too soon to be thinking about china patterns, honeymoon destinations and “chicken or fish?” Marriage is defined in many ways but when most people think about it, they know it isn’t just some Joe Schmo off the street who they’ll be with forever—it’s the one. You’ve got to know each other, see each other at your best and worst before you can make a life-long commitment—that means meeting each other’s parents, traveling together, and weathering hard times, whether it’s a death in the family to the almost-cancellation of Community. If you can get through all of that and still want to hang out with each other, then you can start thinking about marriage. After all, you’ve got the rest of your life to be married to a person, so there’s really no rush!

Try Sex Toys

I’m not talking about a Cabbage Patch…er, unless that’s what you’re into. Most people think sex toys are strictly for solo activities, but on the contrary, using them with a partner is highly recommended by sexpert, Dr. Laura Berman. Toys heighten any rendezvous, bringing out a playful side you might not have known was there. Whether you want to go the conventional route with The Rabbit or delve a little deeper with other freaky things, come play—trust me, you will have a lot of fun. Forget diamonds, sex toys are a girl’s best friend!
