Now that Gossip Girl is on hiatus until March, what better to take its place than (definitely steroid-free) muscle men in tights beating each other up in the ring? That’s right, pull up a chair (and hold on to it, lest it be swiped from under you for use as a prop), it’s WWE’s Monday Night Raw, featuring such, er, breathtakingly handsome talents as John Cena, Triple H and Shawn Michaels versus the studly stunners Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and Big Show in the Raw 6 Man Tag Match. Oh, but it doesn’t end there: more beefcakes on the menu include Kofi Kingston, MVP, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Mark Henry, Evan Bourne, Melina and more. Mon., Dec. 21, 8:15 p.m., St. Pete Times Forum, 401 Channelside Dr., Tampa, $20-$70, sptimesforum.com. – Franki Weddington
