And now, for the CHUB OF THE YEAR 2009:

No that's not Harry Potter, that's Chub of the Year James Corden playing some dress up.

No other chub this year has had James's tabloid popularity, singing abilities, depth of emotion, fatness, drumming skills, willingness to get his clothes off and show his bum, dancing chops, or life guarding talent.

And for those reasons, James took the lead early on in the poll and never looked back, dominating the vote all the way to the end.

Congratulations to James and thanks to every person who took the time to vote.

Here's the thing about our #5, Greg Grunberg.  For one, is Heroes like....even on any more?  I mean, I know it probably is, but does anybody care?  Answer: no, not really.  Has Grunny really done anything else this year?  He had a voice role in Star Trek (there he is above with co-star Zach Quinto) but otherwise, he's not exactly bringing down the big roles.  And really, check out the picture.  He's not even that fat anymore.

So what's the explanation?  Why did Grunberg break into the top 5 once again?  It's just a theory, but maybe he's just really, really going to be smoking hot no matter what his weight is.  Just look at that face, with the pinchable cheeks and whatnot.  With so much undeniable chub-appeal Chubarama readers just can't let Greg go, even when he hasn't had the biggest year and has lost a little off his waistline.

So good job, all who remembered Greg, and make sure to check out our previous Greg Grunberg coverage in case you missed anything the first time around.

We've posted this long ago but it's always getting taken down and put back up on YouTube for various reasons. But a kind reader just pointed us to this one and it looks like it's been up for a while so maybe this one will stay up! Enjoy this blast from the past, Grunny showing off what he's got, shirt unbuttoned and pants giving a peek.

Wow, I...had not seen this before.  It's just a wee bit filthy!  Don't watch it at work.  Or stick some headphones in.  Gee whiz.  Thanks to the submitter.  Greg always seemed like such a...sweet guy before this!

No word on if he'll do the chat shirtless, but a reader has alerted us to this auction.  The winner gets a live video chat with Grunny himself and all the proceeds go to charity.

Current bid is $1,001.00, anyone ponying up some cash?

Not a lot of details but if you send Greg Grunberg stuff like this via Twitter, he will show the world.  Why you would send Greg Grunberg something like this is another story...unless this guy knows something we don't?  Hmmm?

Thanks to the submitter.

Shocking absolutely no one, Mr. Nick Frost is our winner of the 2008 poll.  Nick Frost and Kevin James actually dominated the poll with nearly 40% of the votes overall.

For the best of our previous Nick Frost coverage, check out the trailer for the upcoming The Boat That Rocked, Nick shirtless in his trailer, Nick in his undies, and our first ever post with Nick where he shows a whole buncha skin.
