Lucky Vanos made our tongues tingle for more than just Diet Coke nearly two decades ago. But now the torch has been passed to Andrew Cooper, the beverage's new spokes hunk. Check out Andrew's first spot for Diet Coke after the jump. 

Judging from Ellen's taste, when it comes time for our own bachelor parties, we want our lead lesbians in charge of casting the stripping talent. Ellen surprised soon-to-be-remarried Nene Leakes with four feverishly fit male strippers this week. Grab the dolla dolla bills and follow the jump to join the impromptu bachelorette party. 

Roughly 60 percent of the lower 48 is covered in snow. Brrr. What better way to warm up the body without raising the heat bill than with a review of the Top 10 hotties that made 2012 so abs-olutely delectable (with emphasis on "abs" for a reason)?

Take a stroll cruise down memory lane with us as Instinct's editorial team (Editor in Chief Mike Wood, Senior Editor Jeff Katz, Associate Web Editor Jonathan Higbee and Web Superstar Nigel Campbell) counts down the men who made us swoon the most throughout 2012. As we always ask at the New Year's Day after hours, who will find themselves on top?

Now here's something to sing about!

Barihunks--aptly named in celebration of hunky baritone opera singers--has released a new calendar.

More after the jump!

Darren Criss who?

Just kidding. New Glee kid on the block Dean Geyer still has a lot to do to prove his love to us. But while we wait, why not take a gander at Glee's new resident hunk skateboarding shirtless in Santa Monica? 

Andrew Christian has certainly been burning the candle at both ends with his near-weekly release of super-steamy softcore videos (not that we're complaining). At least with his latest, "Lights Out," he drips some of the hot wax from that ever burning candle onto the skin of his unfairly gorgeous underwear models!

Watch Andrew Christian's latest, a NSFW ode to lite S&M featuring the equally sexy new single "Role Play" by Jessi Malay, after the jump!

The Obama 2012 campaign's gay outreach program needs to take some tips from "Wrong Direction" on how to really speak to us and capture our attention in political ads. The group—made up of five model-esque gays with a disdain for Bain—attacks Romney in a spoof of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful."

The Pure Pole Studs, a gay Australian trio boasting a name that'll likely break our servers, have taken Octomom's new profession to new heights (literally). But will Australian TV audiences appreciate their gravity defying enough to vote for them on the country's popular Everybody Dance Now reality show? 

Our prayer for even more hunkiness on daytime TV and the Internet has been answered in the form of a male model contest for The Price Is Right! Yep, we're gay gluttons and no game of Plinko would tell you otherwise! Details follow. 

“In the end, all of what you do in your life makes you who you are,” says Aiden Leslie. “Why not celebrate it and reach for the Diamond Dreams that inspire you? You only have one go-around to make it happen."

Aiden—easily one of pop music's hunkiest artists—has made at least one of our dreams come true by premiering the video for his newest "rocktronic" single "Diamond Dreams" right here on Instinct! We know you've been waiting to see the latest from the club-chart-topping artist of 2011’s “Worlds Away,” so without further ado, head to our Web Exclusives area to check out “Diamond Dreams,” from Aiden Leslie and famed NYC-based director Marco Ovando!

Aiden Leslie teased us with this sorching hot behind-the-scenes image from the music video shoot for "Diamond Dreams," but tomorrow Instinct will have the full release (of the video that is)!

Check back here at InstinctMagazine.com on Tuesday, August 7 at 12 p.m. EST for the world premiere of Aiden Leslie's "Diamond Dreams," directed by the incredible Marco Ovando. We can't wait!

Just in time to provide appropriate decorations for our True Blood premiere party come these jaw droppingly yummy pictures of our hubby Joe Manganiello in strikingly fine form for Men's Health U.K.

Take a deep breath and follow the jump for your weekly dose of Hump Day hotness.
