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 …

Yesterday we saw a couple photos of hottie Ryan Reynolds making his way to the gym and today we get to see a few more pics of the lad out and about here in SoCal … as you can see, Ryan was out for a motorcycle ride and he was lookin’ damn goooood:

I kinda love that it looks like Ryan fell out of a catalog … he has that simple style that seems effortless and yet totally put together. The sweater, gloves, boots … he looks great! Ugh … not only is Ryan Reynolds a hottie to the max but he’s also a terribly stylish man who knows how to dress. Scarlett Johansson may be a nice girl and all but she SO does not deserve this. Boo!

It’s been some time since we’ve seen hottie Ryan Reynolds here on the blog … as you may recall, homie hosted Saturday Night Live in early October and then quickly fell off the face of the planet. Over the weekend, Ryan showed up here in SoCal making his way into Factory Fitness in West Hollywood, CA to do some work on his hot bod …

… tho, judging by the looks of those bulging muscles showing thru his very tight shirt, it looks like he doesn’t really have a lot of work to do. Isn’t it soooooo annoying that Ryan Reynolds can look so good even when he’s trying to look all scrubby on his way into the gym? Ugh. I wonder how wifey Scarlett Johansson is able to handle this level of hotness on a daily basis. Yeah, I hate her ;)

Ryan Reynolds was the celebrity guest host on last night’s ep of Saturday Night Live and while I love me some Ryan Reynolds, I was horribly dismayed that he didn’t take off his shirt once … not once! All in all, SNL was kinda entertaining but truth be told, it was far from the funniest ep of the show I’ve ever seen:

At least Ryan looked good and did his best with the skits that they came up with for the show … he even brought along his wife Scarlett Johansson to do a little cameo in one of his skits:

If you would like to see a sampling of Ryan’s appearance on SNL last night, you can check out his monologue, his skit with Scarlett and a digital short that featured Andy Samburg and Elijah Wood — after the jump …

Happily marrieds Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were spotted enjoying a bike ride in SoCal on Ryan’s motorcycle yesterday afternoon … of course, Ryan was lookin’ hawt on the bike … ScarJo, not so much:

I mean, it’s not that Scarlett looked bad … I think it’s just that I don’t really care for her helmet and plaid is not a good look for her. Mebbe it’s just that Ryan really knows how to look good on a bike and dear Scarlett pales in comparison. Or, you know, mebbe it’s the fact that Scarlett is married to one of the hottest guys in Hollywood and I kinda, sorta hate her guts for it? HMMM … well, whatever the case may be, I think it’s safe to assume that most folks would much prefer to see photos of Ryan Reynolds on his motorcycle all by himself … sans wife (and shirt). I mean … right?

It is being reported that Ryan Reynolds has won the casting battle to play the part of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in the planned big screen movie adaptation of the comic book hero. It was rumored that both Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper were up against Ryan for the role but it looks like Ryan won the role. This makes Reynolds the first actor to play a character from both Marvel Comics (he featured in the Blade series of films and played Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and DC Comics (Green Lantern is one DC’s big superheroes):

Warner Bros. Pictures has hired X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Proposal star Ryan Reynolds to play the title role in the anticipated Green Lantern, scheduled for a June 17, 2011 release. Based on the DC Comics hero, the action-adventure will be directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, GoldenEye) and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti. Berlanti wrote the script with Marc Guggenheim and Michael Green. The Hollywood trades say that Reynolds and his camp entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests, along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test. The studio had holding options on the actors, but, except for Reynolds, those expired Monday. Reynolds’ option would have expired end of day Friday. Production is expected to begin in January. The “Green Lantern” was created in 1940 by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell. Introduced in 1959, Hal Jordan is a second-generation test pilot, an ordinary man who was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur. When Abin Sur’s spaceship crashed on Earth, the alien used his ring to seek out an individual to take his place as Green Lantern: someone who was “utterly honest and born without fear.” Reynolds recently starred in Fox’s “Wolverine,” in which he played Wade Wilson/Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spin-off to which Reynolds is attached. He also played Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity.

As much as I LOVE Ryan Reynolds, I was really pullin’ for Bradley Cooper to get the part. I can totally see Hal Jordan in Cooper … and I was really lookin’ forward to seeing Coop in those tight superhero spandex. Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to settle for Ryan Reynolds squeezin’ his goodies in those superhero spanx. Wait … why was I all upset for again?? On second thought, WOOT!! What do y’all think … is this good news or bad news?

Earlier this week we got our first look at Ryan Reynolds, star of the new film The Proposal which opens in theaters this weekend, on the cover of the Must List issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine … today we get to see the alternate covers of the mag which feature Ryan in alternate (yet equally hawt) poses:

I’m not sure if these alt covers are actually being printed for sale or home delivery around the country but my issue of the mag arrived with the cover we saw on Wednesday (lower right corner, with the water wings) and the other 3 covers printed inside the mag. I have to say … each alt cover is suitable for ripping out of the mag and affixing to one’s wall — not that I did that myself, I swear.

Ryan Reynolds + any state of undress + wet = Yes, please!!
