Thu, Nov 17, 11:15 amWho would have thought, back in 1985, that they could take an idea like printing photos of a sexy movie star and giving them the title "People's Sexiest Man Alive," and, 20 years later, you'd be celebrating your 20th anniversary? People magazine, that's who.
That's right, the 20thsexiest man is on the magazine scene, and that is none other than bongo-playing Rain of Fire star Matthew Macconegehy. I meant, that's the 20th sequentially. He's People's Sexiest Man Alive, but he's the 20th one they've selected in a friendly yearly competition among men.
It's not my magazine, so I won't be catty about it. He's all right, but let's just say that if I had a Jackie Harvey's Sexiest Man Alive, I don't think he would have made the top 40. Plus, since it's my contest, I would have a Sexiest Woman Alive as well, and this would be the year of the Gyllennhaals, believe me.
It might interest you to know that according to People and the Today Show, the biggest selling issue for People's Sexiest Man Alive was John F. Kennedy Jr (now tragically deceased) in 1988. I know, I don't get it either. He was sexy, but he wasn't in any movies. If he hadn't been on the cover and subsequently died in a plane crash, most people wouldn't know who he was. Shoot, you may as well make me the People Magazine Sexiest Man Alive (hint hint). Now Harry Hamlin, there's a Sexiest Man of the Year Alive you can sink your teeth into, sexiness wise.
