Sure, he's a good looking guy but hearing his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" (a brilliant song) made me want to throw my radio across the room. From what I can tell his voice seems to be a love it or hate it kind of thing.
Haha, I often raise an eyebrow with what you post, but in this case I agree with you completely. It's not a man thing though...most of my female friends are hopelessly crushed out on Colbert and Bourdain.
when People comes out with "Sexiest Women" or whatever I'd like to see a comparable list of untraditionally hot gals here as well.
Some pretty nice choices, such as the gone-to-seed Alec Baldwin, but I'd like to suggest one other: Ray Davies, who with his brother Dave founded the now-defunct Kinks. Ray has written some of the best songs ever ("Days," "Waterloo Sunset," "You Really Got Me," "Dead-End Street," etc), as well as a very imaginative book, "X-Ray." He combines great looks (tall, bony, with a gap-tooth grin) with lyricism and intelligence and a twisted sense of humor that plays to
whatever your sexual appetites might be. And he's had a very inconsistent career, too, which makes him all the more endearing.
The hair! The 'stache! The bruised knuckles!
The degree from Princeton???

How is someone who ends his movie with the hero saying "not wearing a condom was the best think I ever did" qualified to be sexy? Creepy, yes. Sexy, definitely not. I just don't get the love.
The former cricket player is not only seriously hot, but is at heart, fearlessly political and intellectual.
He has taken the dictatorship-military establishment in Pakistan head-on, built a state-of-the-art cancer treatment and research hospital in Pakistan, has fought relentlessly for democracy and solutions for the common man, isn't afraid to get down and dirty to play their game on his terms, and has just yesterday been jailed for his advocacy. Khan is seriously in it to win it.
I second that vote for Cary Tennis. He is compassionate, poetic, liberal - but still solid on family values. He actually seems to think and care about his readers and letter-writers. Plus he's cute.
Runners up: Farhad Manjoo, Glenn Greenwald, and Gary Kamiya!
Stephen Colbert is the sexist man alive, period.
My husband runs a very close second, but he doesn't have the wicked insouciance Stephen does (on the other hand, my husband doesn't have a portrait of himself over the fireplace either!)
Honorable Mention:
*George Clooney
*Chazz Palmintieri
*Denzel Washington
*Any man over 30 who can wear a ponytail without looking like
Eurotrash or a time-capsuled hippie biker
*Dennis Quaid in that hot video with Bonnie Raitt
Really interesting and sexy guys. But you really got me by including Alec Baldwin. I love him, even though he can be such a jerk. Once I was reading a peice of gossip (with an accompanying photo) about him on a website where he had reportedly had some sort of fender-bender then got out and slapped the other driver. The reader comments all said something to the effect of "He is looking really good lately." not even mentioning his obnoxious behavior. He is like that beloved, but obnoxious ex-boyfriend that made you crazy, but whom you never really stop missing. I just love him so much that even though he is often in the news for being a douche, I am just glad to see him (and even gladder to see him looking well).
How was he overlooked?
John Malkovich has always given me that little tingle. I agree with 90% of your other choices. Thanks for the estrogen surge.
New Orleans chef John Besh? Former Marine, father of 4 boys, was out in a row boat rescuing people after Katrina. Oh, and he can COOK!! He can make me cheerios any time.
And actor William Fichtner. He's great to watch no matter the role.
What about Mike Rowe, of TV's "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe?"
Of course, he's ruggedly good-looking, but, most enticingly, he exudes enormous, easy-going charm and friendliness, and an "every man" persona which serves him well relating to all the guys with dirty, sometimes to the extent of embarrassing, jobs.
He is arch without being patronizing - a very sexy quality.
Yep, thanks.
What? No Jon Stewart? No Al Gore? No Stephen Colbert?
Shoot the Choosers.
I was expecting Al Gore to be number one, and he didn't make the list! Aren't a Nobel and Oscar pretty hot, after all? And that piece about saving the world does it too.
These guys are ok, but not up to last year's standards. Last year was the ultimate geek chick Crush Fest what with Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen. Even if you did leave out Chow Yun Fat, which was almost inexcusable.
This year's list leaves me unimpressed, sorry. And no straight men should get to decide who's a hot guy, come on, I don't care about their "man crush"! LOL.
Once again, you managed to leave out General Wesley Clark. Come on, people... not only handsome, but scary smart! Talk about SEXY!
I'd also like to nominate Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz, George Clooney (sorry, it is what it is...), Bill Clinton, Keith Olbermann, Tim Robbins, Gordon Ramsay, and from the world of sports, the delectable and dimpled Michael Cuddyer of the Minnesota Twins.
really salon? this is it? cause i'm not feeling a vast majority of this list.
Who would have known a suicide attempt makes you sexier? Sure, you're probably dealing with depression, guilt, despair, and hopelessness, blah blah blah--who cares?! You're hotter than you were before!
So for all those guys who in spite of being handsome, happy, funny, and talented, are not getting much action, here's Heather's advice: Add drama! Maybe a few cuts on the arms? Perhaps doing a little heroin, only if you make sure to show your bruises off. Anything self-destructive will do.
I wonder what else Heather finds sexy: beating up your girl, maybe? ooh, danger... so hot.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
