Your Shirtless Celebrity Roundup Takes No Prisoners!

Baptiste Giabiconi is a Golden God! Mechad Brooks is an excellent neighbor. Tom Hardy and Dane Cook are covered in ink, and a football star shaves his pubes. All this and more in your Shirtless Celebrity Roundup!

Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld stripped his "muse" (read: sex slave) Baptiste Giabiconi down to nothing more than a wreath of leaves and a codpiece for his Greek mythology themed 2011 Pirelli Calendar. Karl Lagerfeld is basically the luckiest queen alive.

Tom Hardy strips down to get a new tattoo from friend and Vancouver tattoo artist, Bryan Glatiotis. We can't quite figure out what makes this story newsworthy. The accompanying article from The Globe And Mail doesn't do much to promote Hardy's latest film, "This Means War," nor does it really do much to promote Glatiotis' tattoo parlor. We guess having the gorgeously pouty actor in town is more than enough to justify two pages of detailed tattoo descriptions, and hey, shirtless pics of Tom Hardy! How can we complain?

Like a good neighbor, Mechad Brooks is there! And rippling with muscle. Dear god, get this man back on a TV show immediately!!!

David Beckham was strutting his ripped, tattooed stuff on the field of an LA Galaxy game in Australia this past week. It's good to know that even when it's freezing in the Northern Hemisphere, it's always shirt-stripping weather somewhere!

We didn't get to cover this due to the Thanksgiving break, but last week Dane Cook performed a shirtless serenade to Taylor Swift on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" while boasting a gigantic (hopefully fake) tattoo of the country starlet on his chest. Sweet or Creepy? You be the judge. We're just glad to see that 38-year-old comedian, whose shirtlessness was once an indispensible component of his stand up routine, hasn't completely lost his touch.

Yesterday he wowed us with the insanely epic, 13-minute-long music video for 30 Seconds to Mars' "Hurricane," but that's not all that Jared Leto has been up to lately. The musician/actor (and how we miss the days when that was the other way around) got all sexy for a new Zoo Magazine shoot by photographer Bryan Adams.

British boy band The Reason shed their clothes for a photo shoot with the UK Gay Times in this behind the scenes video. You know, boy bands are always a little gay, but these guys are SO. FUCKING. GAY. This is a good thing! Who knows how our lives might have turned out if the Backstreet Boys had been a little more buff, a little more queer friendly, and a little more shirtless? (Answer: We would have spent waaay more time masturbating.)

Chad Ochocinco, wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals (for the non-sports-following gays out there: that's a football team) and generally sexy hunk of man got naked for one of those naked celebrity PETA ads. And it looks like he shaves his pubes! The question is: did he do it for the special occasion or does he always keep it smooth down there? We love a hairy dude, but you're gonna manscape, you might as well go all the way.

You may know him best as Kevin Volchok from "The O.C." or the sexy vampire villain James from the first "Twilight." Now actor Cam Gigandet has made his return to leading man status as a likely personality-free bit of arm candy in Cher and Christina Aguilera's would-be gay cult masterpiece, "Burlesque." And from the look of the shirtless film still that made it's way online this week, that candy tastes pretty sweet!
