If you think Paris Hilton is the only person that can do burger based food porn, then think again, because Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi proves that she knows a thing or two about making meat sexy as well:

…2009 is a good year for calendars?
The start of a new year is always the perfect time for planning and preparation, and if you’re the type that likes to map out your life inside of the structure that a calendar provides, then DYH is here to help you pick out a good one:
First, there’s the 2009 Nerdcore Calendar, a return of the geek culture pin-up collection (2009 is their third annual calendar), and this year, they’re highlighting science fiction themes and motifs, from epic space operas to more intimate retro-chic, ala your favorite sexy super spies from the 60s.
Inside you’ll find portraits of a fiery redhead being carried off by giant robots (starring geek goddess Justine Joli), a purple-haired vixen presiding over a futuristic metropolis (European sensation Jana Cova), and a topless cyborg adorned in western gear, revolvers and all (starlet Bobbi Starr).
Plus, the Nerdcore calendar is designed to help you remember all those regular and nerdy holidays, such as major movie releases; conventions like San Diego Comic-Con, Alternative Press Expo, etc.; anniversaries for major franchises and cult classics; birthdays for of genre favorite creators, actors, writers, and directors; and key fictional happenings, from obscure to awesome.
Second, Pirelli’s famous/infamous calendar is back, and this year they’re taking the girls on a safari (and ditching any reference to automotive culture in the process).
Though the calendar is sent out by Pirelli to only the best of the best in the auto industry, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few of these end up on the eBay auction block, and even if you can’t get your hands on an actually copy, Pirelli has been kind enough to put most of the images (as well as a few outtakes) online for your NSFW browsing pleasure.
Lastly, if you spend all day staring at blogs anyways, then why not buy a calendar that helps to support some of the hottest bloggers around?
The 2009 Hot Bloggers Calendar can be ordered as either a collection of Male or a collection of Female bloggers, and each features some of the hottest hands to ever grace a keyboard. It’s as social as social media is ever going to get, and part of each sale goes directly to the bloggers themselves, so buying one helps them to keep doing what they’re doing for another year or more.
So there you have it, there calendars for three very different audiences, but all with the same goal: Give you a little bit of eye candy to look at while you’re planning out what to do with your days.
…DJ Earworm has released the United States of Pop 2008?
DJ Earworm has once again put together a year-end mashup of the Top 25 hits of 2008 according to Billboard Magazine, and it’s called United States of Pop 2008 (Though the current edit also carries the title of Viva La Pop.)
According to DJ Earworm:
This year in the charts, we’ve gone all soft. The songs are sexy and defiant, less macho than in previous years. Accordingly, I’ve selected Coldplay as the instrumental track, giving the whole year a sort of symphonic feel.

- Timbaland Featuring OneRepublic – Apologize

…The Confederate Fighter is an amazing bike?
Confederate Motorcycles have always been a cut above.
After nearly being wiped out by Katrina, Confederate is back and better than ever with the release of their new Fighter bike.
Featuring tons of carbon fiber and titanium, including the front “blade” style suspension, aggressive lines and enough speed to scare just about anyone (top speed is north of 190 mph), the Fighter is just plain sexy.
Confederate bikes have always been known for their fusing of raw power and crisp simplicity, and in words straight from the company’s mouth,
-
It’s an evolution of the machine, at once taken back down to its core elements while being reinvented and re-engineered for optimal performance. It’s our street-legal sci-fi dream come to life, in the form of the limited-edition Fighter Motorcycle.
If you’re looking to score one of the 45 being made, then you better have your checkbook ready, because the first one off the lot carries a price tag of $110,000, along with special Neiman Marcus edition features, and is sure to go quick. (In more ways than one!)

…It’s Tuner Tuesday: Fisker Karma?
Fisker Automotive wants to bring the sexy back to green sport car design.
With Tesla taking a sad and slow turn towards the automotive afterlife, there’s now a gaping hole in the car world for people who want to drive green, but don’t want to drive slow to do so.
Enter: Fisker
The Karma (clever) will be a four-door plug-in hybrid sports sedan, and will start at just $80,000. (I say just because technology like this doesn’t come cheap when you’re trying to debut a whole new type of transportation.)
With initial delivery scheduled for late 2009, and an estimated production run of at least 15,000, there’s definitely some hope of this thing seeing the light of day.
And if it does, what will drivers see?
A sexy exterior wrapped around an even sexier interior powered by a Q DRIVE powertrain. (Q DRIVE is Fisker’s name for their plug-in hybrid technology.) Basically, a small gas engine turns a generator which charges the lithium ion battery pack which then powers the electric motor.
With this configuration, the car can be driven for up to 50 miles per day, as long as the car is then plugged in each night. By following this routine, the car then also only needs one fuel fill-up. Per year.
Will this change the face of green automotive design?
As with the Tesla, only time will tell; though I do hope that this one at least makes it into production, since we’re at going to need baby steps if there’s ever going to be hope of running towards a cleaner type of automobile.
