Hot Hunks of Summer

"I can't get the words out thinking of him." -- Tommi Lewis


What do CHRIS KLEIN, JASON BIGGS, HEATH LEDGER, PAUL WALKER, MARK WAHLBERG, JOSH HARTNETT and JUDE LAW have in common -- besides being hunks? They are all starring in the coolest of the hottest flicks this summer as picked by ET and Teen Magazine, and were photographed for the June issue of the magazine, which hits the stand on May 8. 

As announced yesterday, 'American Pie 2' is the number-one choice to go nuclear this summer, so Teen Magazine Editor-in-Chief TOMMI LEWIS picked the "Pie" guys as the cover boys for the sexy films of summer. "I think they were all equal," Ms. Lewis comments, "but Chris Klein and Jason Biggs were definitely standouts in terms of having a lot of potential. Girls want to see them in another movie." 

But when ET spoke to Chris, he disappointed us by revealing that he's not the one doing the sexy stuff in this film. "You'll have to talk to my man Jason Biggs," Chris revealed. "He has some antics that I think you'll like." 

Heath Ledger held his own against MEL GIBSON in 'The Patriot.' Now he is the star of 'A Knight's Tale.' Tommi says, "Ever since Heath came out last year in 'The Patriot,' the girls have been clamoring for him and dying for a new Heath Ledger movie. In this, you have the sexy knight thing going. He is going to be pretty awesome." 

Then there is Mark Wahlberg, who last summer co-starred with GEORGE CLOONEY in the box-office smash, 'The Perfect Storm.' This summer Mark is the star of 'Planet of the Apes.' "Mark is so unbelievably hunky," Tommi admits. "I can't get the words out thinking of him in the CALVIN KLEIN ad. He is so hot; it is worth going to see 'Ape.'" 

ET and Teen Magazine also named (in no particular order): 'Tomb Raider,' 'The Fast and the Furious,' 'Angel Eyes,' 'Swordfish,' 'Pearl Harbor,' 'Tomb Raider,' 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' and 'Scary Movie 2' as the sexiest films to see this summer.
