Congratulations are in order for hottie actor Johnny Depp who has just been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine. As you may be aware, Depp also just became the highest paid actor ever after securing a $33 million paycheck to appear in Pirates of the Caribbean 4 … so needless to say, he is having a good week. Here is Johnny on the cover of the new issue of People magazine which pays tribute to Hollywood’s sexiest men:

Break out the Bordeaux, the whoopee cushions and the bangin’ Keith Richards guitar solos, because the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive party is officially under way. Bringing the fun with him wherever he goes – whether it’s onscreen in fizzy roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island – is just one reason why Johnny Depp, who also scored the honor in 2003, has joined an elite club of two-time SMA title holders (only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have matched the feat). At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood’s most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.

Considering how sexy Johnny really is, I’m surprised this is the photo that People decided to use for their cover … they deffo could’ve found a sexier photo, don’t you think? As you may recall, People selected Hugh Jackman as the Sexiest Man Alive last year … but there are 109 other sexy men who made the cut this year along with Johnny. After the jump, check out a few photos of some of the other dudes who were selected by People magazine this year …

Did you know that Jake Gyllenhaal is an eyeglass wearer? I sure didn’t … which I why I was very surprised to see his appearance in the new issue of In Style magazine talking about his need to wear glasses and his lending support to the New Eyes for the Needy charity which gives out vouchers for folks in the US to receive free eye exams and free glasses as well as donates prescription glasses to underprivileged countries. Here is Jake’s New Eyes advertisement in In Style mag:

The copy reads: I’ve had really poor vision ever since I was a little kid — my mom first took me to the doctor because I was smacking into walls — and every time my prescription changed, we gave my old glasses to New Eyes. So when I started looking for a cause that I had a strong, visceral connection to, I thought of it and wanted to help bring awareness to its work. New Eyes sends donated prescription glasses to underdeveloped countries, and in the U.S. it distributes vouchers to patients for a free checkup and free glasses. There are so many people who have bad vision and don’t know it. I’ve seen kids who were on the verge of failing out of school who got glasses from New Eyes and their lives changed. It made me think, What if, when I was young, my parents hadn’t been able to afford my glasses? What would my life have been? Thankfully, my eyesight is something that I can take for granted. I want to try and help other people take theirs for granted as well.

This is so cool … there are so many needy charities out there and this is but another one. But, before Jake’s appearance in this ad I had no idea that New Eyes even existed. It sounds like they do a lot of great work for a lot of very needy people. Jake also appears in a promo vid for the charity — after the jump, check it out in full …

Sesame Street is gettin’ ready to air its 40th season on PBS and have announced a new batch of celebs who will be paying a visit to the Sesame gang in upcoming new eps. Here is a pic of Elmo with Jake Gyllenhaal, who will be among the famous folks visiting Sesame Street this season:

For their upcoming 40th season, “Sesame Street” welcomes a whole host of famous faces — Cameron Diaz, Adam Sandler, Eva Longoria, Ricky Gervais, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, Hugh Jackman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Matthew Fox and Michelle Obama — and one totally non-famous one — me! I recently had the privilege of visiting the world’s most famous address, but more on that closer to the Nov. 10 season premiere. In the meanwhile, please enjoy this pic of my favorite furry friend, Jake Gyllehnaal Elmo, spending some QT with the equally adorable Jake Gyllenhaal.

Damn … kids these days are lucky has hell! I honestly don’t remember too many famous faces popping up on Sesame Street back in the day when I used to watch but I still have fond memories of the show. Now that kids get all the fun of Sesame PLUS Jakey poo … ugh, learning is so fun!!

Hottie McHoster Jake Gyllenhaal and his father Stephen were spotted roaming the streets of NYC together this weekend enjoying a bit of bonding time together. It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen Jakey poo out and about without Reese Witherspoon by his side so while I would much prefer to see photos of the chap all by himself (preferably in some state of undress), I guess I can live with photos of Jake with his dad:

Aren’t these a fine pair of handsome men? I love it when Jake spends time with his family … we usually see him with his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal but it really looks like Jake and his dad are best buds. He’s such a nice boy … whoever manages to nab him is a lucky duck … and worthy of my jealous hate ;) I keed, I keed … kinda but not really ;)

I’m not sure how I missed this last week but Pink reader Jay pointed me in the direction of a cute People magazine snippet about Jake Gyllenhaal and his new action/adventure film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It turns out that the folks at Lego will be releasing little dudes in conjunction with the film’s release … here is what Jakey poo will look like as Prince Dastan as a Lego character:

Dozens of celebrities have been immortalized with wax replicas at Madame Tussauds, but how many people can boast a Lego miniature action figure? Well, Jake Gyllenhaal for one. In honor of Disney’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Lego is releasing a set – including a mini-Jake figurine! – next year. The film will hit theaters May 28, 2010.

OMG … this is cute as hell. Little Lego Jake is about as cute as real life fleshy Jake is hot. This is absolutely a must own for me. Now that Reese Witherspoon has got her meat hooks into real Jake, I guess the rest of us will have to content ourselves with little Lego Jake … just make sure y’all play nice with him, tho … no naughty biz, ya hear?

Hollywood’s most exciting couple, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon, were spotted enjoying a lovely afternoon together strolling Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, CA this past Sunday just … you know … strollin’:

Nothin’ too excitin’ … nothin’ really to see just … strollin’. It seems evident that GyllenSpoon are still very much together, happy as clams, which is very heartening. And altho these two as a couple are about as thrilling as drying paint on a wall, it’s encouraging that they appear to still be going strong … and in lurve … or whatever. Carry on, GyllenSpoon … please, carry on.

Here is a kinda cute pic of Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon and her children Ava Elizabeth and Deacon Reese at the Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday night rockin’ out at the Elton John/Billy Joel concert … you gotta love the way that little Deacon is holding on to Jake’s head:

The make a cute little family … well, pretend family that is. I understand that during Elton’s performance, he dedicated the song Tiny Dancer to Reese Witherspoon. Ain’t that just the most precious thing you’ve ever heard?
