Best known for his six-pack abs, the blond hearthrob has thrown his hat (shirt?) into Arianna Huffington’s blog ring. His first column - about the International Federation of Competitive Eating - debuted today. Deep thoughts from Ryan: “As the fourth of July fast approaches, what better way to celebrate being at the top of the food chain than having a good ol’ fashioned competitive eating contest?”

Those championing him are just as complex:

“I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a long time, I really think Just Friends is underrated,” writes one commenter. ”Aside from that, loved this blog entry, very entertaining, love your sarcasm.”

And another: 

“its a toss up! I can’t decide what I like to do more, look at him or read his column…”

Can’t wait to hear Ryan’s future musings on Darfur!
