AJ did a little modeling earlier in his
career and is featured in the book Heartthrob: A Hundred Years of
Beautiful Men in which he is described as possessing
"almost-too-good-looking-for-words attractiveness." AJ parleyed his good
looks, charm, and broadcast skills in a very lucrative gig with CNN as host of HLN's evening
celebrity news show, Showbiz Tonight. AJ has been with
Showbiz Tonight since its launch in February 2005 after hosting
Court TV's Hollywood Heat and reportedly signed a new
contract with HLN in November 2011 to keep him him hosting the show for
several more years as well asan entertainment correspondent for CNN.
Although billed as “Television’s Most
Provocative Entertainment News Show," AJ generally comes across as too
nice to be provocative and generally has guests with more moderate
viewpoints to discuss the often tangled webs of celebrities' lives in
the news.
So to celebrate AJ's birthday, we suggest
toasting him with a Velvet Hammer and watch the episode "Running on E"
in 2009's TV series
Entourage that features AJ
appearing as himself. As a side note, there is an unfortunate street
jargon sexual connotation of the term "Velvet Hammer: which we hope
won't detract those preferring missionary-position sex from enjoying
this tasty concoction.
