Summer's Hottest Celebrity Men

Terry Kennedy, 25 - While many of us may not appreciate a smooth kick and push as much as the rest of the skateboard world, we can celebrate the cutie making the most noise. And this summer we did just that, welcoming Terry Kennedy to BET with a reality special, “The Kennedys,” which comes out this October. Who’s on board? We are!

Drake, 23 - Drake has gone from being featured on every hot artist’s single to completely stealing radio air waves, all in one summer. With the debut of his first album behind him, Drake is “showing the ladies a good time” with a mouth-watering combo of R&B and hip-hop. Music critics are split, but as one of the cutest guys in the rap game, we give him five stars.

Oguchi Onyweu, 28 - Watching the World Cup, especially the U.S. Men’s National Team, brought out the inner-teenage-girl in a lot of us; but we have to say a large part of the appeal was seeing Oguchi Onyewu. Hey, the exhilarating, dramatic goals that ended in shirtless male bonding didn’t hurt either!

Isaiah Mustafa, 36 - Old Spice front man Isaiah Mustafa has the uncanny ability to be amazingly charismatic or a total dweeb, and looks (and smells!) yummy all the while. A former wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks and a trained actor, we will have no problem watching Isaiah and his absolutely alluring smile soon on NBC.

LeBron James, 25 - The rumors and questions swirled all summer: Will King James give up on Cleveland? Will he leave the Cavs for the Heat or Knicks? There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding LeBron, but two things are clear now: his new home is in Miami and his heat factor will only get hotter.

Mehcad Brooks - Actor Mehcad Brooks is returning to his fashion-model roots as co-host. In the past, we’ve seen him woo Melanie in of "The Game," and star in “Desperate Housewives” and vampire series “True Blood.”

Mehcad Brooks, 29 - True, we never had fantasies of seeing vampires without their shirts, but something about the way “Eggs” latched on to his woman’s neck as his chest heaved heavily, just won us over. Plus, we have a weakness for men in Calvin Klein underwear, and Mehcad Brooks is among the best of them.

Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, 32 - Whether he's sporting a blonde mohawk or cartwheeling into the end zone, Chad Ochocinco is one beautiful man. Sometimes he's a little too cocky for our tastes, but other times — like when he’s dressed in a suit, soft spoken and looking for love on VH1 – he is just right.

Trey Songz, 25 - Goodbye boy toy, hello sex symbol. Trey Songz grew up and so did his lyrics. He premiered “I Invented Sex” right in time to keep us warm through the winter months and sexy in the summer. And lucky for us, Trey has no problem showing off his super-fine figure. That means a lot more shirtless days to come.

Ludacris, 32 - We have loved Ludacris ever since “Southern Hospitality” in 2000, and his performance in “Crash” just endeared him to us even more. We think he’s a brilliant rapper, amazing actor and businessman, but we also just think he’s hot.

Michael Ealy, 36 - Michael Ealy adds a little something special to every movie he's in. Is there any girl out there who didn't have a little crush on him since he was so bad-boy dreamy in “Barbershop”? This summer's super-hyped “Takers” will be the perfect chance to see him on the big screen again.

Devin Thomas, 23 - We know Washington Redskins cheerleaders have a major thing for wide receiver Devin Thomas, and we must admit, there’s something loveable and enchanting about him.

Usher, 31 - Of course Usher Raymond is on this list. Even after two kids and a divorce, our massive love for him won’t quit. Frankly, Usher is The Man of every season. He's “Hey Daddy.” He’s “Lil’ Freak.” He’s “OMG.”
