    Hot Bachelors Strip Down

    Beefcake overload! Houston's hottest bachelors strip down for trend-setting TV show at a swanky pool

    Just when we thought that H-Town couldn't possibly get any hotter, Inside Edition arrives and turns up the sizzle factor with its quest for "Houston's Hottest Bachelors." Endowed with mega pecs and killer six packs, 13 of the city's most eligible men stripped down to their swimsuits for the cameras in a friendly competition to be decided by viewers.

    The gents, aged 24 to 50, posed for portraits by local photographer Julie Soefer, were interviewed by an Inside Edition producer and rollicked through one of three pools at the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa for a titillating video.

    The segment airs at 3:30 p.m. Thursday (Sept. 18) on KTRK Channel 13.

    Candidates not only had to be attractive when shirtless but also had to have charisma, have interesting careers and be active in the community.

    Inside Edition senior publicist Irene Rogers explained that the candidates not only had to be attractive when shirtless but also had to have charisma, have interesting careers and be active in the community.

    Flexing their muscles for the cameras were Asai Adame, 24, a service analyst; Nick Anderson, 47, editorial cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winner; Lawrence Clayton III, 40, oil trader and agent with Posh Properties; brothers Jason Cohen, 27, and Eric B. Cohen, 25, in the furniture business; Austin Hughes, 27, in luxury car sales; Chris Jones, 37, Air Force pilot; John Klien, 33, in the oil and gas industry; Jason LaCarter, 31, in software sales and modeling; Clark Shao, 31, personal trainer; Mike Valdez, 50, "Sky Mike" radio DJ; Chris Williams, 39, realtor and model; and Don Vaughn, neuroscientist and musician.

    The bachelor competition is a regular feature on Inside Edition, which today has viewers voting online for Dallas' hottest bachelor. The program has played the game in other cities including Washington D.C., Cleveland and Detroit.

    Houston voting begins with the show on Thursday afternoon.

    For the official Houston portrait, Inside Edition provided the guys with black v-neck T-shirts.

    What: Feed the Soul Foundation Second Annual Heart and Soul Scholarship Dinner

    Where: The Corinthian Houston

    The Scoop: Houston’s hospitality set showed up for Feed the Soul Foundation’s second annual Heart and Soul Scholarship Dinner. With the theme “Nourish the Culture,” the sold-out evening proved that food can also fund futures.

    Co-chairs Brandi Carson, Brandon Carson, David Cordua, and Sara Cordua helped steer the evening, while emcees Chelsea Edwards and Kim Castro kept the program moving.

    More than 240 guests settled in for a six-course passport of flavors crafted by a dream-team roster of chefs. The lineup included James Beard Award winner Thomas Bille, Michelle Wallace, James Beard Award finalist Adrian Torres, Dominick Lee, Beatriz Martinez, and Reginald Scott. Highlights included grilled strawberry gazpacho, East Coast oysters, chicken tortilla soup, seared salmon, smoked pork belly, and a white chocolate and corn mousse finale that landed like a mic drop.

    The evening also paused to celebrate Houston culinary A listers. Sallie Creuzot received the Culinary Impact Award for her enduring contributions to the city’s food culture, while James Beard Award winner Hugo Ortega and Mark Holley were honored with the Chef Legacy Award for innovation, mentorship, and influence on the next wave of talent.

    Culinary students from Houston City College assisted throughout the dinner, gaining hands-on experience. The event raised more than $100,000 for culinary and hospitality students nationwide.

    Who: John Creuzot, Percy Creuzot, Cheryl Creuzot, Felice Sloan, Shannen Tune, Gerald Smith, Heid McDonald Smith, Merele Yarborough, Warren and Karinn Luckett, Gaynell Drexler, and John and Brittany Gilmore.
