Is it just my computer being stupid or is his website not working? I'm having withdrawls. ::hugs knees::

Give me a sec. I'll check it out for ya. ;)

It's working for me. :-\

Okay, all you have to do is click on his page link when you get the page cant be found thing. It will take you right to his site. I almost went catatonic when I saw that error page. They CANNOT do that to me again. :o

Sorry guys, I think I tripped everyone up a bit. I renamed some of the pages, including the home page and I've gotten a flood of emails ever since! :lol2: The site is not down. Just check the URL's on your favorite pages and re-bookmark them if necessary. As I work out my computer problems at home, I will be rebuilding quite a few of the pages and sections. ;D

Oh! lol Yeah, I got a little scared there! I'll re-bookmark it right now! ;D

Sorry! I didn't mean to mess with everyone so much. :-[ There are just some things I've been meaning to do for ages and I'm finally getting around to some of them. Being forced to switch everything over to a new computer is a great motivator! :lol:

OK MrsBeck, I am really stupid, really blonde, and really late to the party LOL

Is that your site? FWIW you're the bomb, babe, awesome job. My muses and I thank you :)

*going back to not being a geek now, please ignore me if I connected the dots wrong, I've been fighting work all evening LOL

She is teh best!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Jayde, you're not any of those things. :) If anything, I forget that not everyone knows who I am anymore. There was a time when I could keep up with all the message boards, but not so much anymore. :( But to answer your question - yep, Ian Then Some is my site. Or my obsession, whichever you prefer. :lol2:

Mrs.beck i have a question about the Friday Five. Ok I'm still a little nervous 2 ask Ian a question but if i hit the submint button, what happens after that? Thats my question.

AWWWWWW! Ian's sweet. ::looks at pic with him giving someone's purse back::

He is so sweet! That is Maggie's purse btw! If you look in all the golden globe pics with him and Jorge and Maggie, you can see her holding the purse in all the other pics. Awww... ::melt::

And this is the guy that TPTB thought was worth letting go. ::) Whatever! :P

Ian is just the most adorable guy on TV in a long time. ;)

Mrs.beck i have a question about the Friday Five. Ok I'm still a little nervous 2 ask Ian a question but if i hit the submint button, what happens after that? Thats* my question.


Your question ends up in my website inbox and I add it to one of the F5 folders. Then each week I take 5 of the questions and send them on to Ian. He answers them and sends them back. I update the site and we do it all again the following week.

Nothing at all to be nervous about. ;D

ok thanks Mrs.Beck

Do you ever ask him more than 5 questions? I'm just wondering if you do and then pick the best 5 for that week and put the other answers in the following weeks 5 or do you just stick to the 5? Ian is the best for doing this for his fans. :) Some stars just think they are above that sort of thing, but not OUR Ian! ;)

It's funny that when we started I had a hard time getting 5 questions in each week, now it's hard picking just 5 each week. But yes, I only send him five each week, which is why we are often late if Ian's work schedule keeps him busy or if he (or I) can't get to a computer on Friday.

Not that I couldn't save answers and use them for another time - I just don't. I just like the idea of sending something that week and getting his answer that week. Feels more honest to me and I like how his moods change, his silliness, etc... We catch a lot of Ian's personality through the Friday Five. I think we'd miss a lot of that if we did it any other way.

I dont think I could find any LESS than 40 quetions to ask him each week. :D He seems like such an approachable guy.

I don't think I could find ANY, rofl. I'd be all UH.... HI. *blush and stammer and big, stupid grin, which is a neat trick for Email* :lol2:

BUT! I really enjoy reading the FF, and Thanks MrsBeck for organizing that, it really is awesome to see what a nice guy Ian actually is.

There really isn't anything to be nervous about. :) Just think of something you'd like to know about him and send it in or PM it to me.

No, nervous is when you've had a baby, you're struggling with PPD and you still have a ton of baby weight to lose. Nothing in your closet fits, nothing looks right and you'll be spending the day with one of the best looking guys on the planet. Which you don't want to give up for anything because it happens so rarely. But you really, really don't want to see him because, well, you look like absolute crap and you don't want him to see you that way. That is Nervous! :o :lol2:

OMG yeah, you win! Total basket case material. That's awesome, though! *spending time w/ him, not being a basket case lol :lol2:

Ok Mrs. Beck i got the picture I'll send in my question to you and could you send it in for me tho?

No problem. :)

Thanks Mrs.beck

Jayde, where did you get this pic of Ian? I dont think I have ever seen that one, and I have seen A LOT of his pics. ;)

If you mean her av pic, it looks like a screen shot from when he was on L&O SVU.

Thanks MB! I almost thougt it was a pic of Drew Fuler(Charmed) for a moment. Drew and Ian really do look a lot alike sometimes.

This sounds terrible of me to say, but the more I look at it, the more I'm not sure.* * :-[* Guess we'll have to wait for her to tell us.*


ETA: You really want to go to this page (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/MBBP/MBBP.htm) and click on the top two pictures. Oldies, but very goodies. ;)

LOL!!

It's not Ian at all :lol2: It's Drew Fuller

of the he has nothing to do with LOST at all but I was sick of looking at avvies of Boone and Sawyer so sue me! LOL

LOL!!

It's not Ian at all* :lol2: It's Drew Fuller

of the he has nothing to do with LOST at all but I was sick of looking at avvies of Boone and Sawyer so sue me! LOL




:lol:* When I looked at it the first time, I thought it looked like SVU, but then I kept looking at it and thinking, "nah...something isn't right...."* :lol:* Shows what I know, huh?* Oops.* :-[*

I know nothing of Charmed though, so I wouldn't have the first clue about the other guy.* I've had three different sets of old modeling pics sent to me this week and they're all of pictures that people think are of Ian from like 10 years ago.* There are some pictures where it's really hard to tell and I end up having to ask Ian.* I feel totally silly doing that, but sometimes it's the only way.

I KNEW IT! ;D Ian is so adorable, but Drew is a treat for the eyes as well. ;) Hey Jayde, a little of topic, but do you have any idea what Drew is up to these days since Chris was "killed" on Charmed? I haven't seen him on anything since then.


*Well, I remembered 1 second after I pressed the post button that he was Lindsey Lohan's b/f in her video for the song Over*

Krazy he's filming some movie called Dark Ride overseas I believe, which I know abosolutely nothing about but you can read about it www.drewfullerfan.com (http://www.drewfullerfan.com) there.

Now back to the regularly scheduled love for MrsBeck and all the hard work she does!! **HUGS**

I think we can call it the regularly scheduled love for Ian instead. ;D

And on that note, a whole lotta pictures have been added lately. Not always new, but larger and always yummy. :D Still more to come, too!

Just wanted to say that you do a great job with Ian's site. I love looking at the pictures and reading the Friday 5. Thanks for all your hard work!!! :)

I think its Ian cuz it looks JUST like him

Mrs. Beck, someone is posting all over IMDB that Ian is going to play the male lead in Sharon Stone's newly announced romantic comedy Cougars. It's so random - is it true, do you know?

The first time I saw Jayde's avie, I was like, "Huh? Is that Ian?" I studied it and nope, I knew it wasn't him.

I haven't heard about this yet. I'll have to ask Ian. Take anything about Ian that comes from IMDB with a grain of salt though. There is a group of guys that frequent that site that absolutely hate him and just will not get over it. They spread lies like you wouldn't believe. ::)

Oh, I know, I've seen them. I honestly think it's the same guy posting under 3 or 4 aliases. I've seen him on every message board dedicated to male celebrities, Lost, or Ian himself known to mankind. He always says the same thing. Over and over and over. It's kind of freakish and obsessive.

But no, this person just registered today on imdb, and was very excited about the news, and said Ian was gorgeous. It looked like a PR plant. :P

I still gotta write you back about that thing. With the thing. :angel:

Anyone that slams Ian should be forced to watch Bill O'Rielly 24/7 for a soild week! >:(

Oh, if you read the rants, they are so irrational and repetitive that it's obviously got nothing to do with anything Ian himself has said or done; it's just that this person has unfortunately chosen Ian as his negative fixation/ target.

I hope that new film rumor turns out to be true. =)

I hope it is. New projects are always great, but I'd love a romantic comedy! I'll see if I can get confirmation. :)

The naysayers are going to be disappointed that Ian will not give them the negative response they are looking for. They cant push his hot button the way they can some other actors. Ian is NOT Russell Crowe(thats a good thing), and wont go all anger manangement on the press and other idiots like Crowe does. Ian has WAY TOO much class to do that. :)

The official word on Cougars is that Ian is not involved with this project. I don't know where this guy is getting his info from, but it isn't true.

HMM going to have to go find MORE people that don't look like Ian, but do, to see if I can tricksy you guys again LOL

Back when Smallville first came on Entertainment Weekly ran this picture of Tom Welling that looked so much like Ian it was scary. Even my husband was like "isn't that your actor dude?" :lol:

Thanks MrsBeck =)

I think Ian looks a lot like Wes Bentley in some shots. Ian is better looking but (don't hurt me y'all) Wes is more my type. =) Incidentally they were both thrown around as names for "who should play a young Bruce Wayne" in the Smallville fandom a couple of years ago. I think they could pass for brothers.

http://www.celebritypicturesarchive.com/pgs/w/wes-bentley/wes-bentley-pictures.htm

ETA: Tom Welling does NOTHING, I mean NOTHING for me, I think he's beady eyed and fish lipped, and I think Ian is *exponentially* better looking than Tom is. Acting wise, Tom Welling is (er, usually) competent in his limited role as Clark Kent, but Ian S. can act circles around him.

As if rumors in Hollywood is a shock. :o I just wish people would get their facts straight so peeps dont get their hopes up.

Thanks MrsBeck =)

Mr Welling always has that vacant look in hie eyes. He dosen't do sqwat for me either. :P Ian NEVER has a vacant look in his eyes. They always say, "Take me to your bed now" to me.! ;)

I certainly don't mind looking at Mr. Welling ;) but Ian is much more appealing to me for a variety of reasons. Not the least of which is his personality. ;D I won't even begin to compare their acting skills. There was a really great article that did that already-and it was not very nice to Tom. :lol2:

I kind of felt like that when I saw Armageddon. Although Ben Affleck was nice to look at, I was more drawn to how hot Owen Wilson was. I also find Owen to be a better actor. He has such a gift for comic timing.

It's just something about Welling that really turns me off. I just cant out my finger on it. 8)

Hey guys!!! I agree, Welling does nothing for me either. Krazy1, you and I are on the same page again. Maybe we're twins. ;D

This really is starting to FREAK ME OUT!!! ;) I dont think we are twins----WE ARE CLONES!!!!!!!!!!! :o ;D

WE'RE CLONES!!! That's even scarier. ;D

And with that I need an Advil and a stiff drink. :D

Keep the Advil - just pass me the stiff drink!* *:lol2:


Edited to keep it on topic:

Sigh. (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/GlamUK/Glam03.htm)

Edited again:* Hmmmm...apparently we can't post pictures.* :(

Wow, I love that pose!!! Thanks. :o

And again I say---DAMN TPTB FOR KILLING BOONE!! >:(


Ian looks so yummy in that pic :)

*krazy goes to get a napkin*

Tom who? Drew who?

*total loss of brain function* That one is just lovely, MrsBeck, thanks :)

You're welcome. I need distractions today and Ian is about as good of a distraction as I can think of...

More hotness. (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/flaunt/flaunt01.htm)

I haven't been in this topic for a while...its been a horrible past 48 hours and getting on here seeing all of you talking about Ian...seeing links for new pictures (a pleasant surprise and greatly appreciated!!). After finishing todays works it was wonderful to read the new Friday Fives posted. Puts a smile on my face and reduces the "war wounds" so to speak.

*Thought to self spoken outloud: When did I become such a big Ian fan?*

Not that its bad...it went from Dominic this and Dom that...and instantly turned into...wow Ian is really good...not bad on the eyes either!

Stop the insanity! I beg of you no more pics! I cannot stand this any longer! God please---------------------------------------------------------------------*FWAP*------------------------------------Thanks, I needed that. BRING ON THE IAN HOTTNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Kinda fun and adorable while still being totally hot. (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/GlamUK/Glam08.htm)

I like that one better than the other one - something about the shadows and the way like 1/3 of his head is cropped out that I'm not crazy about. That's from the Flaunt spread he did a couple of years ago, right? That's a really interesting shoot. They're known for their artful celebrity spreads, but that one was fascinating for a lot of art-historical/perspective reasons which I won't bore you all with right now. =)

Oh those pics are NICE!!! Thanks mrs.beck!!! ;D

Were talking about the ones where he's wearing jeans, right?* One of the pics ran in the UK version of Glamour (http://iansomerhalder.net/Articles/GlamourUK.htm) in 2003.

You can bore me. :)

Am I just crazy or at the bottom of that scan does in the "Forthcoming Projects" That he "will" be the star of Pirates of the Caribbean? I wonder if he was originally supposed to be in it? Interesting :)

No, I meant this spread. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/dryope/140571.html#cutid1) Please note, those pictures contain some nudity and graphic sexuality, and while I think it's artfully done, please don't click if you're underage. Thanks.

mrsbeck, you have a few of these in your galleries, I'm assuming she declined your adding her versions =) What I think is interesting about that spread is its visual extremism and the relationship it builds between their subject matter and us as viewers. The stark contrasts, the lighting, the extreme features/ body of the woman make it all a little surreal and jarring. Its perspective is very unusual too. Traditionally, in art, women are the reclining, passive, inviting sex object to the viewer in pictures like these. In this particular shoot, there's a naked woman in almost every picture, but she's almost... incidental. The sexually charged focus of the pictures is Ian himself. The naked woman is almost just another accessory. She is never allowed to look at the camera head-on; she is faceless in a lot of them, has her eyes closed, is in profile, etc., but Ian's looking right at the camera in almost every picture.

A lot of his poses in that spread, and a lot of the angles from which they are photographed, put the viewer in the role of being physically dominant over him, which isn't something you see outside of heterosexual pornography (with women as the focus) and depictions of women as sexual objects. The woman is thoroughly, but purposefully IMHO, objectified in those pictures, and by association they serve to objectify Ian's sexuality too. They're especially unusual in that the "gaze" of the viewer in photos where there is a partially clothed man and a fully unclothed woman is usually assumed to be male (hence the ubiquity of reclining naked women in porn and art). Is this, then a work of homoerotica, where the subjects are putting on a show for the male viewers despite the fact that the woman is completely naked? (Flaunt is certainly a publication with a male-heavy subscriber base). Or is it intended to have women as the viewer and switching up traditional photographic gender roles, which makes it a very radical photo spread? It's just a really interesting work of paradoxes and oxymorons; I think it's probably the most interesting thing I've ever seen Ian do as a model.

The least interesting is this Versace spread (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/Versace/Versace.htm) but I'll save that for another day. =)

The UK Glamour outtakes are adorable because they show his personality a lot. They're very candid for a photo spread and those are always fun. This (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/GG2005/GG2005gg.htm) is still my all time favorite picture of Ian, though, because he is, like, three and a half sheets to the wind in that one (Exhibit B! (http://www.iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/GG2005/GG2005t.htm)), and just walking about, waving around Maggie's purse. :laugh:

Am I just crazy or at the bottom of that scan does in the "Forthcoming Projects" That he "will" be the star of Pirates of the Caribbean? I wonder if he was originally supposed to be in it? Interesting :)


No, it says, Ian will be the star of Jerry Bruckheimer's (PotC, CSI) new TV show "Fearless". It's not really easy to read, though.

@ mrsbeck: I can't thank you enough for "Ian then some"! But you already know what a huge fan I am, don't you? ;) (that is, if you got my e-mails... you did get them, right?) Although I admit, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't pick my question for the F5. ;) Nah, j/k, I can see why you didn't pick it! ;) For the other thing... it'd be nice to get a little reply, even it's a "no, thanx". I won't freak out or anything, I promise! (and I do hope you got my mails, otherwise you have no clue what I'm talking about :-[ )

Send Ian our love and tell him, he's always welcome back here at 'lage! :)

I have the Flaunt pictures up: http://iansomerhalder.net/Pictures/flaunt/flaunt.htm I just didn't advertise them as being up since I know I have a lot of underage kids who visit the site and I wasn't comfortable with them being posted. I think I'm going to have to mention it somewhere though because I've had to answer a ton of email over those pictures! :lol:

Majandra, you'll have to refresh my memory on what emails you sent. I get literally hundreds a day for the site. Plus I've been having a lot of computer issues for the past few months and a lot of emails got lost. I just got a new computer, so I'm working on transferring everything over and setting up the new machine.

Majandra, you'll have to refresh my memory on what emails you sent.


Umm, sure, okay.... think I gonna pm you, if that's alright with you?

Ya know, half of the female supermodels cant have the camera love them like Ian does. :)

I am really tired of how women are always the naked ones in pics like this. I am NOT gay, so this kind of pissed me off that I couldn't enjoy Ian as much as I would have liked to. >:( I wish women would stop letting other people tell them they have to get naked to stay in the industry. This has been a thorn in my side for many years. As a straight woman, I would have rather seen Ian naked. ;D But, alas, the tribe of men have spoken! ::)

Good God, I love the Flaunt people. They come up with the greatest photo spreads.

Well, not feeling the love for totally naked anorexic chick, but whatever, nobody's perfect :lol2:

Thanks for posting those, guys :)

As do I (love the Flaunt photographers). Amazing photos, angles...very appealing. The naked model shocked me a bit...scrolling down the page..hello :o. Caught a bit off guard, but Ian looked great and the photos are amazing.

The model's nudity isn't as jarring as her extreme look is. A lot of people have commented on how gaunt and angular she was, but truly, I think that was on purpose. Especially the one where she's leaning back and all her ribs are showing... I think it was purposeful that she look shockingly gaunt and unsexy. She's not the sexually charged subject of the photos, after all.

Flaunt has a bunch of really amazing celebrity spreads. There's a gallery of them somewhere on the 'net. I'll have to Google.

Note to Flaunt: Next time some needs to show some skin, let it be Ian. Let the girl stay home. Okay? Okay. ;D

LOL Amen mrs.beck!!! :lol2:

Note to Flaunt:* Next time some needs to show some skin, let it be Ian.* Let the girl stay home.* Okay?* Okay.* *;D


And that is exactly what I was saying in my last post. I want to see Ian, not some objectified nekked woman. ::)

Artistic, edgy, different...all of those things are good. Just in that particular case I wasn't that crazy about it. I preferred the shots of Ian alone (especially the ones of him in white.) Maybe, it was the voice in my head going "oh boy, this is going to be interesting to have to post" coloring my perception first, who knows? I just prefer the ones with Ian alone.
