For the guys, reality TV is (often) all in a day's work. Among the non-competition reality programs, shows like "Ice Road Truckers," "Man vs. Wild," and "Black Gold" make small-screen heroes out of their mostly male blue-collar crews. While the most popular women of reality TV draw interest (and lots of online searches) more for who they are rather than for what they do, the leading men of reality TV generate buzz for their sleight-of-hand, body slams, and crime hauling. Still, bad boys and lost boys do draw their fair share of popularity. Ladies were first in our look at the top reality TV stars: Now, we take a gander at the gents who have scored the most searches -- for better or for worse -- during the past 30 days.Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 9:13 PM

How does Criss Angel walk on water? How did he make that building implode? And where does he get off levitating? A man with secrets pretty much guarantees first-place Search popularity… that and being a guy willing to stick fish hooks into his back and hang from a helicopter. The fourth season of "Criss Angel Mindfreak" on A&E levitated his Search numbers up 234%, but don't be fooled: Angel's no mere illusionist. His legerdemain extends to looking like a rock star, opening a clothing line, debunking mentalists and partnering up with the French-Canadian performance troupe Cirque du Soleil. Ooh la la.A&E - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

While Hulk Hogan scores second on the list, his reality show came to a halt when reality proved too much. The pro wrestler started the VH1 sitcom-show "Hogan Knows Best" mainly to promote daughter Brooke's singing career. Despite -- or because of -- the constant camera presence, the family imploded like a Criss Angel magic trick, with son Nick in jail and wife Linda dating a 19-year-old. Ironically, chaos helped land Brooke her own show, proving dad might actually know something. A recent jailhouse chat stirred up a public outcry against Hogan, but he'll likely reinvent himself again while staying exactly the same.NBC/Paul Drinkwater - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

Aside from "Hawaii Five-O" reruns, most outsiders viewed Hawaii as a law-abiding paradise… until "Dog the Bounty Hunter" started dragging out wife beaters, thieves, and other scofflaws. Our number 3 Dog Chapman almost put the A&E show on the endangered list after his racist slur about his son's girlfriend. Apologies were made, time passed, and Season 5's summer debut has brought about a more obedient -- but still shaggy -- Dog, plus more viewers than ever. However, fellow bondsman Timothy Chapman (no relation) has gone astray. Given Tim's January arrest for indecent exposure, a tamer Dog won't likely be sniffing out his old partner.A&E/Scott Gries - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

No. 4 Brody Jenner may be the purebred of reality TV males. His dad won a gold medal, his mom dated Elvis and hung out on "Hee Haw," but boy Jenner's sole claim to fame has been one reality show bender after another, beginning with blink-and-you-missed-it "The Princes of Malibu," peaking with "Laguna Beach," and hanging on with "The Hills." Of course, it's his relationships with reality TV castmates and aimless celebrity offspring that have become his bread-and-butter. His next MTV gig "Bromance," though, aims to find him brotherly affection. This may be the realest thing Jenner may ever do.Steve Granitz/WireImage.com - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

Corey Haim (5) may have a bigger online profile than his namesake Corey Feldman, but truth be told, the two together are more popular in Search than they are apart. Hollywood's Siamese twins accelerated each other's '80s fame, and their 21st century re-emergence in A&E's "The Two Coreys" underscores the yin-yangness of their relationship. Arguably the one with the most promising youthful talent and unarguably the more tragic figure of the two now, Haim has unleashed second season confessions that have sent fans scurrying to look up "corey haim molested," "corey haim fat," and "corey haim and corey feldman fallout."A&E/Andrew Eccles - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

A wannabe drifter in automobile racing, Nick Hogan (6) unwittingly introduced true tragedy into the otherwise pedestrian ravages of a C-list celebrity family. He spent his teen years under the VH1 "Hogan Knows Best" spotlight as the goofy younger brother getting into scraps. That changed with the 2007 automobile accident that horribly injured his passenger John Graziano and got the 17-year-old sent to jail. Jailhouse calls during which he and his dad planned a new reality TV show for Nick triggered a tide of public negative opinion. Unless he scripts in redemption, Hogan may find solitary confinement extending beyond cell walls.Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage.com - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

Taking off his make-up verged on sacrilege already, but wouldn't baring his domestic life in "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" risk the KISS singer's rock cred? Then again, that cred was aging anyhow, and Ozzy Osbourne had already cleared the path. Unmasking showed Gene Simmons could not only rock and still have a reasonably harmonious family life, but also that he was truly a businessman at heart. The reality peek gave A&E its second-highest rated program. The still-touring Simmons has also branched out into cartoons ("My Dad the Rock Star") and hits the sweet 7th spot in online searches.A&E - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

Hanging on the sidelines of fame, Dean McDermott established a surreal infamy by falling in love with an equally married Tori Spelling on a Lifetime Channel movie set. The two dispatched their previous partners and settled into an appalling level of storybook contentment, from running a bed-and-breakfast to popping out two kids in quick succession. Relative normalcy earned McDermott high ratings on the Oxygen Channel's "Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" (although the return hasn't always been dignified), but his 8th place Search ranking is partly due to questions about his marital past. Expect answers with his ex-wife's upcoming book. Paul Redmond/WireImage.com - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

Being more stable doesn't pay off in popularity, but Corey Feldman still makes the number 9 spot among reality TV leading men. Reunited on A&E with '80s teen acting bud Corey Haim in "The Two Coreys," Feldman followed Haim in the confessional arms race with his own sexual molestation revelations in Season 2. Has their tiff endangered a third season (despite signed contracts)? Will Feldman-starved fans have to resort to the "Lost Boys: The Tribe" DVD sequel? Someone get these boys to make up… and stat.A&E/Andrew Eccles - Wednesday, August, 13, 2008, 6:13 PM

No matter how many reality shows Hugh Hefner may wander in and out of, the Playboy founder will never seem quite real. Three ladies are the true focus in "The Girls Next Door," but the octogenarian provides the show's creative, er, backbone. The E! series prepares for its fifth outing, amidst rumors about discord in the mansion and a possible brunette in the offing. Here's reality: Hefner has defined American sexuality over a half century and managed to push Playboy into every medium. With staying power like his, no wonder he can still make a Top 10. E!
