Buzzstuff: Looks like I missed out again!

Looks like I missed out again!

I think this year, I must have missed it by just this much.

NEW YORK (AP) - People magazine has named Johnny Depp the "Sexiest Man Alive 2003," saying the actor, known for his "brooding eccentricities," has mellowed since becoming a father.

Depp, star of this year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," has two young children with his girlfriend, French actress and pop singer Vanessa Paradis.

"Because he arrived at his new, happy place without selling out, without becoming slick or packaged or politically correct, he is a hero to his fans and an idol to his young co-stars," People says in its Dec. 1 issue.

The 40-year-old actor is known for hiding under layers of hats and blankets in his private life and behind oddball characters in his films, the magazine said. "But he is finally coming to terms with his own charisma..."

Depp also has starred in "Edward Scissorhands,""What's Eating Gilbert Grape,""Sleepy Hollow" and "Chocolat." His upcoming movies include "J.M. Barrie's Neverland."

People also picked its Top 10 sexiest men: Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher, George Clooney, Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake, Hugh Grant, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Denzel Washington and Colin Farrell.

I have a great deal of respect for Johnny Depp; it would have been pretty easy for him to cash in on that teen idol crap, but he didn't go that route.

Justin Timiberlake isn't fit to wash Johnny's hair. Hate him.

ahhhh, poor buzz, I'm sure you were up there.

I like Dep, but I like him better with washed hair. Really. Good hygiene adds a lot to anyone's sex appeal.

Yeah, he is soooo yummy!! I really think Hugh G. shoulda gotten it though....

He's 40?!? Wow. I had no idea.

40. Wow. Damn.

Not bad for a 40-year-old. I hope I look that good when I'm 40. Holy cow.

I don't know about you, Shelley, but I don't look that good now.

And I'm a girl.

Posted by: kat at November 20, 2003 11:34 PM

The only ones on that list that I like are Hugh Grant and Hugh Jackman. I guess I have a thing for guys named Hugh. And accents! ACK!

Ok, everyone is good except Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake and Colin Farrell. Idiot child, ditto, and scumbag, respectively.

Yikes.
