Rear of the Year
29 December
What better way to celebrate the end of the year with a refreshing reminder of some of the rears which have seen us through 2008.
There were many who were deeply enamoured of Chris Fountain's (late of Hollyoaks) efforts on the televisual ice dancing show. I thought him slightly doughy but that's buns for you, I suppose.
Still gracing those hallowed halls they call Hollyoaks, Ashley Taylor-Dawson flashed his ass for us. There's be a calendar in it next year, I'm sure.
Steven Gerrard gave us one cheek.
John Barrowman gave us a little bit of both cheeks.
Joey Barton gave us the lot but don't you just wish that the attractiveness of his whole character was in direct proportion to the attractiveness of his rear end.
Cristiano Ronaldo insisted on keeping his kit on but still managed to show us the luscious and peachy roundedness that is his derrière.
Leonardo Capalbo proved that even opera singers can look good in their skivvies.
Ross's brother Sam proved that pert buttocks will out, given appropriate supporting garments.
Shia LaBeouf looked good in jeans.
Dima Bilan looked good out of them - with or without the helmet.
Anthony Ogogo had his moment of public acclaim on Celebrity Big Brother and then did the right thing by showing us his bum.
Milo Ventimiglia took his shirt off for TV and then removed his pants for the cinema.
Kevin Bishop showed a lot of early promise in this teenage rôle.
Ryan Phillipe showed that he is still a class act in all the right departments.
But, bringing up the rear, in many more ways than one, was studmuffin de nos jours, James McAvoy.
Take a bite out of those.
