People Magazine – Sexiest Man Alive Winners (by Year)

People magazine is at it again; They have named their “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2010. I’ll give you 3 guesses who the stud will be?

No, it’s not McDreamy.

Nope, it’s not “The Situation”, either.

Jim Belushi? Now you’re just being silly!

While all these men would’ve made excellent picks for ‘SEXIEST’, there is one who stands above the rest; RYAN REYNOLDS.

“Who?”, you ask? Well, if you don’t know him by now, you may never ever ever know him, oooohhhh. Sorry, it’s been a while since they played that song in supermarkets, leaving me without a normal fix of Harold Melvin & The Notes.

Ryan Reynolds has starred in such films as National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and The Proposal alongside Sandra Bullock, however, his biggest gig is the up-coming comic book flick “The Green Lantern.”

Oh, and if you haven’t seen the cult comedy “Waiting…”, you may want to pick that up and learn about “The Goat.”

So what does being named Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine mean for the career of the ‘Chosen One’? We go back in time to find out…

In 1985, People Magazine gave the honor to a young Mel Gibson, of Mad Max fame. He went on to star and direct in some of the defining films of the last 25 years. He also went on to beat his girlfriend while she was holding his baby and release a series of hilarious party tapes. My personal favorite quote from the tapes: “You should just shut up and BLOOOOWWWW me!”You tell her, Braveheart!

In 1986, it was Mark Harmon who earned the title, and as we all know; Mark Harmon is God.

In 1987, it was Harry Hamlin, who did nothing.

In 1989, Sean Connery got the nod, mostly because the editor was a year away from retirement at the time.

At the turn of the decade they named Tom Cruise the Sexiest. Seemed like a good bet at the time, after all the man did dance around in socks and underwear while singing Old Time Rock and Roll. That’s gotta count for something. So what if he ended up becoming a freaky Scientologist and went batshit crazy on Oprah. No biggie.

Fast forward to 1992, when Nick Nolte inexplicably graced the cover. Yea, THAT Nick Nolte. No, not that guy, you’re thinking of Gary Busey. Two totally different people, I assure you.

In 93, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were named the Sexiest Couple Alive. Of course, this was until Richard decided to show his penis on screen. The fact that he was packing like an infant in the dead of winter didn’t exactly help the matter.

1995 marked the year of Pitt. Brad took home the prize and I’m talking long-haired, squinted-eyes, look how hott I am Brad. Not scruffy, beanie-wearing, If I wasn’t so rich I’d be homeless Brad.

Denzel Washington was the man in 96, marking the first black man to bring home the crown. Let’s think of him as the Jackie Robinson of People Magazine. You go, Denzel!

Next up was George Clooney, who breezed through ER and became a household name almost overnight. I honestly have nothing funny to say about him, except he had his Penis rendered fruitless. ME 1 GEORGE 0.

1998 was Harrison Ford’s time in the sun. Too bad that sun must cause old age because Harrison looks like he’s ready to play a round of golf with George Burns and Frank Sinatra.

1999 marked the first time a man held the title Sexiest Man Alive twice. So Richard Gere and his small penis made an appearance again.

Of course, if People gave Richard Gere 2 Sexiest titles, they HAD to give a second to Brad Pitt, which they did in 2000. Nothing for nothing, but Brad looks swell in this cover.

Next up was Pierce Brosnan, who is the second man to play James Bond and be named Sexiest on our list. People later retracted this award based on the monstrosity that is ‘Dante’s Peak’.

Ben Affleck gave his best James Dean impression on the 2002 cover. Unfortunately, he only won this award because he was sleeping with the biggest ass in Hollywood, Jennifer Lopez.

2003 marked Johnny Depp’s first appearance, and he would go on to play a gay pirate in celebration. HUUUGAHHH Me MATEYS!

In 2004, Jude Law was next in line for the crown, however his career disappeared soon after. It is rumored it’s hiding in Charlie Sheen’s lost watch.

Matthew McConaughey was the big thing in 2005. It’s ashame every character he does is the same, from Failure to Launch to Surfer Dude, he’s dropped his share of bombs.

An older, grayer George Clooney topped the list again in 2006. He’s alright in my book.

After years of Ben Affleck bragging about it to Matt Damon, Matt finally got his. The far superior actor and writer, Damon took some bumps getting to the top (Stuck on You, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) but eventually made it big with The Bourne Trilogy.

Wolverine was number 1 in 2008. To celebrate he went out slashing people’s tires along the upper-eastside of Manhattan while singing showtunes.

And finally, Johnny Depp brought home his second cover in 2009, primarily due to his appearance as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Ohhh LA LA!

So what does the future hold for Ryan Reynolds? The Green Lantern is a good start. People these days are eating up these comic-book flicks like they’re doobie snacks. He already has a decent resume, and I’m assuming there will be a sequel to Green Lantern in the works after the opening night numbers roll in.

Finally, who is the early favorite to win the title next year? We have a sneak peek;

CHAZZ BONO.

She’s a MAN Bay-Bee!

Celebrity Teeth Transformations

Celebrities are notorious for keeping the plastic surgery industry alive, but some of the changes that we mock are extremely desirable for many of us. When you are distracted by a ‘flaw’ of an actor or actress, it hurts their career. Is it their slowly-forming wrinkles, their average-sized lips, or bust size that distract us from enjoying and appreciating their performances in movies and television? Probably not. However, transforming those gnarled yellows into pearly whites is an extremely smart career move.

Tom Cruise

The Top Gun star turned Scientology maniac did wonders for his teeth; too bad he didn’t make the same smart career moves. Before his bout with Katie Holmes-induced insanity on Oprah, Tom gladly showed off his adult braces on a multitude of talk shows, claiming that dental health is important at any age, and it is never too late for braces!

Zac Efron

Nothing like a few adolescent fall into gap jokes to make you self-conscious about your teeth, right? Efron’s current award-winning smile has taken him to the big screen more than once, so it is safe to say that the return on his investment was well worth it.

Miley Cyrus

Speaking of child celebrities, Hannah Montana’s alter ego has a much sweeter smile than the younger counterpart. It is safe to say that her new teeth are going to bring her confidence and a much bigger grin in years to come.

50 Cent

One of the biggest rappers of all time, 50 took the right path by getting veneers instead of a grill like many of his colleagues. With a mike that close to his mouth it may be difficult to see his new additions, but they are nonetheless a beautiful upgrade.

Elliot Yamin

Not the biggest celebrity of all time, but one of the biggest transformations in the last few years. Many stars that hit Hollywood got their because of talent and connections as well as good looks. It’s not to say that Elliot isn’t a stud, but his modified smile looks much nicer to look at than the original.

Steve O

While there is no hope of taming this Jackass survivor and star, his teeth certainly look like they’ve finally gotten back on track. It goes to show you that no matter what kinds of crazy things you may have done, you can always salvage your smile.

Well, there you have it; some of the best, and most-admired recent celebrity teeth transformations!

Over-The-Top Celebrity Weddings

When it comes to throwing away exorbitant amounts of money, no one can do it better than our beloved celebrities. With luxurious parties, high-end clothing, and sports cars galore, it’s easy to see where the majority of their money goes. But to get a glimpse of where the real bucks are spent, look no further than celebrity weddings. These top-notch celebrations provide the perfect way for the rich and famous to flaunt their seemingly endless wealth. So for ideas for what to do with your own heaps of money (once we bounce back from this recession, of course), take note of how the A-listers spend.

A wedding for an average couple can cost between $20,000 and $30,000. That’s a lot of money. However, that is but a tiny drop in the over-sized nuptial bucket for a celebrity. Today’s famous couples (think TomKat, Khloe Kardashian, and the likes) easily spend one million bucks on their over-the-top special day.

How is such excess even conceivable? Easy. Start by lavishing guests with $350 a piece party favors from Tiffany’s (Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban), mix in a little vintage pink champagne for $120,000 (Elton John and David Furnish), a beautiful designer-made gown for $50,000 (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes), and you’re well on your way to blowing through a bigger chunk of change than most Americans will ever hope to see.

But only one million dollars seemed paltry to Elizabeth Hurley when she wed then-fiance Arun Nayar in 2007. By spoiling themselves and their guests to private jets for $300,000 and booking a some of the finest hotels for $100,000, this pair racked up an estimated $2.5 million tab for their wedding. How do other celebrity weddings stack up? TomKat came in at an estimated $2 million for their ceremony. After spending $100,000 on chocolates and champagne, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas had a grand total of $1.5 million. And though Donald Trump shelled out $18,000 for caviar when he wed Melania Knauss, he only ended up spending around a cool $1 million–what a bargain!

It’s easy to see that celebrity weddings showcase an array of expensive finery of which most can only dream. They display the best of the best when it comes to their gowns, cakes, alcohol, and all the other details surrounding their weddings. They may not be this country’s brightest–or best–but they are the richest, and that’s what counts…right?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have 1st Daughter “Suri”

Hooray, another baby from Tom Cruise… really, is anyone excited about this or are you just interested to find out if Cruise and Katie Holmes are going to stay together?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the high-profile pair dubbed TomKat by the media, had a baby girl Tuesday, said Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson. The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long, he said.

“Both mother and daughter are doing well,” Robinson said in a prepared statement. Associated Press – Read more…

It looks like it was a healthy baby, so everything’s good in that department.

Not really sure about the name, but it seems to be a thoughtful name based on the Hebrew and Persian translations, “princess” and “red rose” respectively.

Bets are now on to see how long these two will stay together… I don’t think it will last more than 18 months personally.
