People’s "Sexiest Man Alive" issue comes out this Wednesday, and it’s about time — this whole year I’ve had no idea who I should be considering hot! According to NY Post gossip columnist Liz Smith, Diddy will be one of the 15 finalists hand-picked by God. Him? Eh.
So who else should it be, PopWatchers? If I had my way, the winner would be my fake boyfriend, Henry Ian Cusick from Lost. He’s tall, strong, believable in tie-dye, and (understandably) a little off in the head, just the way I like ‘em. (I embrace this obsession of mine well aware that if not for the accent, I probably wouldn’t care about the dude.)
I’ll start off a list (based on an informal staff poll that had Slezak "clutching his pearls" at the mere thought of Wenty) to get the ball rolling…
- Christian Bale
- Wentworth Miller
- Wentworth Miller’s brother on that show
- David Caruso
- KIDDING!
- John Krasinski
- Jason Lee
- Jamie Foxx (probably deserves it after being relegated to "Sexiest Body Parts" last year)
- Justin Timberlake (Obligatory. It will happen.)
- Sacha Baron Cohen (Sexytime!)
- Eric Dane
- Robin Thicke
- Romany Malco (Weeds)
- James Tupper (Men in Trees)
- Allistair Appleton (because who doesn’t DVR Cash in the Attic)?
- Are we TV-obsessed much? Movies? What?
- Tyra Banks
- Hurley

If JT doesn’t win there is something wrong in the world…
Justin Timberlake that is
JOHN KRASINSKI!! I love that he made your initial list
Ok, as much as I love John I could see he might not be universally sexy, so I guess I would go for WENTWORTH MILLER.
OMG. thats the ONLY reason why I watch Cash in the Attic!!!
Eric Dane, without a doubt. He’s the only guy that can make Patrick Dempsey homely just by standing next to him.
Tyra Banks… lol. I think it will be Patrick Dempsey. Not my first choice, but a good one. I’d vote for Wentworth Miller or his doppleganger, Chaning Tatum.
I’m so happy that Wentworth made the list. Definitely Wentowrth. I would also put up Jensen Ackles from “Supernatural”. Very very hot.
Henry Ian Cusick, but of course.
To know him is to love him…with or without the accent, sistah!
For all of us at The Henry Ian Cusick Group, Ian most definitely IS The Sexiest Man Alive!!
It will probably be John Stamos or the perpetually over-hyped McDreamy (Perhaps Sexiest Cast would be better to get neglected McVet, McSteamy, Burke,etc in the mix). However, my gut reaction when I read the question was that they are going to go back to Sexiest Couple Alive for Brad and Angelina (like they had done with Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford).
I love Allistair!! He is the only real reason to watch that show unless you love converting English pounds to dollars for fun.
This is Hugh Jackman’s year (and I’m taking this contest way too seriously). Team Jackman!
I second the John Krasinski nomination! May I also put forward, for everyone’s consideration, Britain’s David Tennant (the most recent Doctor Who)?
Your third suggestion’s name is Dominic Purcell, and man oh man is he one masterpiece of a man!
Steve Carell or Stephen Colbert? Funny is sexy!
George Clooney is my one & only; if Brad Pitt can get it twice then so should he. My runners up: Clive Owen & Christian Bale. Of course it’ll be someone who’s got something to promote…
Rita – I was so hoping there was a smart on in here…a proud member of TEAMJackman. Hugh Jackman…*le sigh*
Always a fave.
This year I found the likes of the following, particularly fetching…
-Wentworth Miller (of course!)
-Justin Timberlake (like, duh!)
-Daniel Craig (sexiest Bond, ever…PERIOD)
-Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes)
-And the dude who plays his flying brother…
-Aaron Eckhart (Thank You For Smoking)
-Michael C. Hall (Dexter…scary, but sexy)
-Gale Harold (Vanished)
-All the sons on “Brothers & Sisters”
-Brandon Routh (c’mon, I mean, he was SUPERMAN!)
-George Clooney (will probably be on that list when he turns 112)
-Alec Baldwin (“Five inches, but it’s thick.”)
-Eric Dane (WAY better than McDreamy)
I could go on forever, really…
All about John Krasinski. Would throw Ethan Hawke on that pile. Jeremy Piven gets a shove. David Wright is a big yeah! Eric Dane would be a yes as well.
Must be Wentworth Miller. he’s cool from ‘prison break’ till now
Hugh Jackman and Jensen Ackles definitely. Hugh for that grin and Jensen for the grin and the freckles.
Hello? Where’s Sawyer on this list?!
Hello? Where’s Sawyer on this list?!
OK, time for me to open a can of worms. How come it’s OK for People to have a Sexiest Man Alive issue, but Holy Hell would be raised if a Sexiest Woman issue was done (or, for one that already exists, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue)? I’m not saying that this should be discontinued; just that if you’re going to objectify us from time to time, you can’t give us grief for objectifying you.
Winner: Wentworth Miller
Runner-up: Wentworth Miller
Honorary Mention: Wentworth Miller
Does it matter? It’s probably some white guy I’m sure.
Howard — Doesn’t Maxim or one of those magazines have a Sexiest Woman Alive issue? I thought I heard something about Scarlett Johanssen being picked for that. As far as the SI Swimsuit issue… let’s not even go there. Women are objectified a lot more often than men.
Alistair Appleton!!!! Yes! Thank you for giving props where it is due. He is the only reason to watch Cash in the Attic, such a hottie and knows how to dress to boot, no wonder he is gay. If only I could snag a man like that. Thank you Annie!
David Caruso, seriously? Yuck. I take James Tupper the Men in trees guy. He’s so hot….and if I had to pick a guy not on this list, I recruit Eric Bana. So hot and so very talented!!!!
Definitely Wentworth Miller. What a hottie!
I LOVE Cash in the Attic and Mr. Appleton is quite yummy. What would I do without BBC-A?
Christian Bale!! He was sexy as a dancing paperboy, a superhero, and a magician. He has it all. Honorable mention-John Krasinski
