Yay, Peter Sarsgaard and Inarritu make the list! When I first saw Sarsgaard, that slightly disheveled look and intelligent eyes did it for me. As for Inarritu - I swear, he's even more sexy than any of his actors! Speaking of whom, why no Gabriel Garcia Bernal on the list ?
For opera buffs only, perhaps, and a few years late, but to pick up on the Cate Blanchett-as-Bob-Dylan line of thinking - I'd like to proffer the charismatic androgynous yet totally masculine attraction exuded by the fantastic British mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly in the title role in "Giulio Cesare" in the Glyndebourne production in 2005 (check out the DVD, people!) !
Whooops - make that GAEL Garcia Bernal! Sorry!
I second "cirty Jobs" Mike Rowe love. Sexy, witty, dirty (really dirty) with a twinkle in his eye.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. And "sexiest man" has no inherent celebrity qualification attached.
He has Olbermann's political sensibilities and sense of humor without the overweening ego. (Sorry, I love Keith, but if there were a drinking game where you had to take a shot every time he made a self-congratulatory comment, we'd all have cirrhosis by now.)
He's absolutely adorable, and incredibly sexy, and completely clueless about it.
He is totally goofy about our dog, and plays with him on the floor like a six-year-old.
He is conscientious and thoughtful without a whiff of pomp or piety.
He is insanely smart but never show-offy.
My friends call him "the gold standard," and the women in his office love him.
The guys do, too.
Okay, and so do kids and dogs.
He doesn't take any crap, but doesn't make many enemies, either.
He buys me a little gift a day for the month of my birthday. (The first year he did this, when we'd just started going out, he bought me a lot of soaps, which made me wonder if he was trying to tell me something. But it was just the guy-think "women like soaps" thing.)
He still roots for the Detroit Lions, the team he grew up with, who have pretty much never won anything. Ditto the Tigers, who have won once. And he still loves screw-ups like Denny McClain.
He defends me to his mother. (He was her late-in-life "miracle baby," and she still thinks he's a little too young to be married, at 47.)
The first thing he bought for our house was a Sears workbench, like his dad had.
After 14 years, I still grab him every chance I get.
And mostly for good (and sometimes for ill!), he still really drives me mad.
Shouldn't the quote from Martin Luther King in the clean energy activit profile actually be from Martin Luther King Jr.?
What the hell! You don't have Vince Young, Colt McCoy, or Tony Romo on your friggin' list. These guys are a man's man and know how to treat their Momma and other ladies. Good day, Mam.
... Were out of line, imho.
Would we be saying the same thing about an older woman who, say, decided to go to the gym and died of a heart attack while on the treadmill?
She was an adult. She was obviously smart enough to know what she wanted. And I bet she knew the risks involved.
It isn't that cosmetic procedures are peachy and problem-free. It's that the discourse around them has gotten annoyingly self-righteous.
If I were Kanye West, I would not be returning the love right about now.
Ah, Jacques Pepin.
One of my favorite tv moments ever was watching Rick Bayless's Mexico cooking show featuring Pepin who has obviously not embraced Rick's encyclopedia of exotic, healthy living schtick. They're bustling around the kitchen and Pepin is getting more and more wine-drunk—it's like four in the afternoon—and there's this great quick moment when Rick almost snaps at Pepin for working slow, drunk, happy. I love weird Rick just as much, though.
Omar Vizquel? Are you talking about the same crybaby who had an onfield meltdown over Arthur Rhodes diamond earring? Oh, yeah! Temper tantrums by overpaid athletes are sexy. Puh-leez!
...to Flight of the Conchords! But where's my favorite (possibly weird choice, but still...) actor Alan Rickman?
An old soul with a voice that stops people in their tracks, not to mention a smile that turns patellas to butter and makes hearts flutter. An ever changing combo of jazzy country with a Latin underpinning and a nod to the swingin' 60s. And he's actually NICE to his fans, takes time after nearly every show to sign autographs and take pictures until the last fan has gone home. Check out his brand new Christmas album, Marshmallow World and Other Holiday Favorites. You'll be hooked.
Check out his MySpace page if you don't believe me: www.myspace.com/raulmalo
He wants universal, single-payer health care and a Department of Peace. He stood up to the banks and saved Cleveland's municipal utility -- and saved residents millions in energy costs over the years. He was against war with Iraq from the beginning and voted his beliefs.
Dennis Kucinich, squinty-eyed, off-key, narrow-shouldered little Dennis from Cleveland, gets my vote. The brain packed inside that guy is a suitcase bomb of sexiness.
Peter Sarsgaard is large and in charge whenever he's on screen. I'm happy to see that he made the cut.
To this list I would add John Barrowman, the omnisexual alien-hunter from the BBC's Torchwood (on BBCA in the States). He's out, he's a hunk, and he kissed the 9th Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston square on the lips. Yum!!!
Jon Hamm is the man. I thought he was my delicious little secret. Could he be more manly? No. He could not.
Kpao, Alan Rickman was one of my picks last year!
We are SO catfighting.
"There's more to life than pretty boys"... but John Hamm comes in number one? When did Salon jump the shark?
I read three pages of this, then couldn't stand it anymore, so I went to letters. Brightstar finally contributed something of value by alerting non-readers like me that Colbert wasn't in here.
Salon, when you try to go frothy you really just look kind of pathetic, like a middle-aged woman flirting with the frat boys in the bar.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
