My fondness for this actor is well documented on this blog, but now GQ agrees that Darren Criss is among the most dapper men on TV. The Glee breakout star joins a list of 25 performers for GQ's June issue, including American Idol's Ryan Seacrest, Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick, and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard. Also in the issue are a dozen adorable pictures of Criss for the magazine's Summer Wedding Primer shoot. Criss also talks about his sudden rise to fame:

Our pals at Zap2it have the scoop on the ladies of Pretty Little Liars visit to the Ryan Seacrest Radio Show this morning. The PPL gang dished that A's identity won't be revealed this season.
