Weeds Cutie Hunter Parrish to Appear in Spring Awakening on Broadway

Weeds cutie Hunter Parrish is coming to Broadway.

Can he sing? Who cares? Look at his body!

Parrish, who plays Silas Botwin on the Showtime hit, will star as Melchior in the Tony Award winning hit starting in August.

Though I can't find any photos of the part of his anatomy he'll be showing at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre (those of you who have seen the show know which part I'm talking about), here are a few other photos of the lovely young man.

Enjoy!

SYTYCD: Is Jessica This Year's Kameron?

Love her or hate her, So You Think You Can Dance contestant Jessica King is certainly giving us something to talk about this year. Partnered with Will Wingfield, easily among the Top 5 guys in the competion, Jessica has received harsh criticism from the judges and ire from the fans. In fact, my significant other just the other night tried to convince me that she was this year's Cedric, that notorious SYTYCD buzzkill.

My vote, however, is that she's this year's Kameron -- with a caveat. Here's why: just like Kameron, she's surviving based on the strength of her partner. If America was to vote for individual dancers at this point in the competition, I'd wager she'd be gone in a flash. Like Kameron last year, she is getting by week-to-week because America is head over heels in love with Will (and his abs).

There's one big difference between Jessica and Kameron, however -- Kameron brought something to the table. Sure, he didn't have the star presence or versatility of his partner Lacey Schwimmer, but he was there for her every step of the way. Think of their Top 20 dance -- if he hadn't been solidly there to catch her, she couldn't have hurled herself into his arms the way she did.

Jessica, on the other hand, brings to the table...well...I'm not quite sure.

Another difference -- Kameron made Lacey look better. His strength and consistency and connection to his partner allowed Lacey to shine. Jessica, on the other hand, makes Will look worse. Would he have ever lost his balance in his disco routine a few weeks back if Jessica had been able to stay on two feet? Probably not. She holds him back, whereas Kameron allowed Lacey to soar.

So -- not exactly a historical debate a la David Cook vs. David Archuleta, but that's my $.02 on Jessica's connection to SYTYCD past.

Thoughts?
