Pure Derek Hough

Of course.  Derek’s interview starts on page 2 on Bella’s website, but be sure to click over to page 3 to read all of it. Little excerpt below.  Thanks to Justafan for the heads up.

Tidbit: What’s it like to be dubbed one of BELLA’s Sexiest Men of 2012?

“I’m honored and I’m shocked! I certainly don’t mind being thought of as sexy, but it’s a surprise. That’s really a wonderful thing since I’m certainly not conventionally handsome. I’m a little crooked and weird.”

Derek Hough: The Sexiest in the Ballroom

With moves like – or perhaps better than – Jagger, sparkling blue eyes and three mirror ball trophies on his mantel (the only pro dancer on “Dancing With the Stars” to earn that distinction), it’s no surprise that Derek Hough, 27, is one of the sexiest guys of 2012.

But his grounded sense of self and unwavering passion is what landed Hough, a thoughtful, deliberate, and somewhat soft-spoken hunk, on our list of most sexy.

His definition of beauty: Talent, ambition and character. “Oh, and humor,” he adds. “Someone who is talented, funny, ambitious and overall very comfortable in their own skin and self, and happy with who they are, is very beautiful to me.”

What idiot told that boy he wasn’t “conventionally” handsome?? I think he’s gorgeous, conventionally or not….and very sexy.

So cute. Hawaii does a body good.

These photos are all on Ryan’s facebook page – there is a whole bunch of them, so follow the link to see them all. Looks like fun!! I assume they made it to the Sorority dance at some point, since they are doing “The Bernie” in that last photo.

It looks like Tristan…but is it Tristan?? Very, very interesting. Glad that he’s hanging out with Tristan, if that’s who it is. Where’s Magnolia, she’ll be able to tell. Looks like they’re having fun anyway.

More pictures, that is!! Lookin’ good. The larger ones are from Zimbio – be sure to click the link to see more of their pics. Thanks to Dona.

Ashley Torres tweeted this picture…and there are some on Getty. Maybe I’ll have more by the end of the day.

Everyone say thank you to some silly girl on TMZ for claiming Derek is “chubby” and then go KISS Mark Harari from Pulse for tweeting this in response:

Thank you, Baby Jesus, for Derek’s abs. And the sweat. And the biceps.

Zimbio has a bunch more photos of Derek on the Beach in Hawaii that I hadn’t seen. Looking very buff. Click the link to see all 10 of them.

I’mNotObsessed has several photos like the one below of Derek (and Julianne) heading to an early dinner…or late lunch. Who can say. Click the link to see all of them.

ETA: @DWTSGossip sent me this photo that I hadn’t seen – so cute. Both of them are hilarious.

I know…lame title. But after a while you can’t think of anything. Anyway, Eyeprime caught Derek and his sister in the surf; I’ve posted my favorite one, below, but be sure to go to their site to see all 8 or so shots of lovely, bulked up, Derek.

With Kelly Ripa! @NoahLovesTheRipa tweeted this lovely picture:

I think he got it from @TinasHope because she tweeted this one and it’s similar in quality.

This one too…

alyssa_lala put this on instagram – Derek sitting next to her at a luau. Looking gorgeous.

And most of you probably saw this picture that Derek tweeted of him and Katherine
