We won't shake our freshly-manicured fingers at the U.K.'s Men's Health for keeping our husband Joe Manganiello clothed on their July cover (what a waste!), but still might write a sternly-worded letter to the editor for not including us as the model for the damsel-in-distress shot (viewable after the jump).

International superstar model Andrej Pejic has seen the fire of fame burn bright due to his exceptional, beautiful androgyny.

Rolling Stone is scheduled to venture into brick and mortar (and disco balls) starting next summer with the launch of a Rolling Stone brand restaurant and nightclub at Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles.
