DEAR PEOPLE MAGAZINE,

Oh, my gaw, y'all. Ok, y'all are, like, my all-time favorite celebrity magazine. And I'm not just sayin' that 'cause in 2004 y'all produced the most amazing spread of Prince William pictures EVER for y'all's "25 Hottest Bachelors" issue (you know, with him lookin' all pissed off and sexy, back when he wasn't ball-and-chained to Kate Middleton and his hairline was intact?) but also because y'all do those crazy survivor stories and stuff and because y'all did that awesome "I'm Gay!" thing for Lance Bass and it was really sweet the way y'all pretended y'all didn't know and stuff beforehand.

Y'all, I really hate to point out y'all's mistakes and stuff because I love y'all so much but I think something's wrong with y'all's website. There is some crazy banner over there that says something about George Clooney being the Sexiest Man Alive! Y'all! No one's gonna believe that! I mean, George is pretty sexy but he's not the Sexiest Man Alive! No way!

So anyway, I was flippin' through y'all's pictures and I noticed that there was someone a little further down the list who was a lot sexier than George and at first I was, like, no way! I mean, this guy's nickname is The Sex. Who's sexier than The Sex? But then I realized that y'all also had a picture of Tad Hamilton and I was like, geez, it all makes sense! Somebody mixed up y'all's pictures! Tad Hamilton isn't even a real celebrity! Y'all, he was made up for that movie with Kate what's-her-name (you know, she shacks up with Orlando sometimes?) and then he showed up on that Las Vegas show, not the CSI one, but the other one. Oh my gawd, what was I talking about?

Oh yeah, I hate to be the one to bring it to y'all's attention but just so y'all didn't have any unnecessary embarrassment, I thought I'd tell y'all so y'all could fix y'all's list. And y'all, Jake is so nice. He won't even care that y'all mixed this up. But I wanted to thank y'all for giving some attention to Jim from "The Office" because I always said that if Jake didn't accept that marriage proposal I mailed him, I'd try Jim next. Or maybe I'd try Johnny Depp next, but I'd try Jim at some point. Johnny's supposedly taken but I don't ever cross a man off the list until he has entered the sacred union of holy matrimony.

Alright, y'all go change that now. I mean, everyone's gonna realize it was a mistake so y'all might as well get on it now before too many people find out. Aren't y'all glad you have such good readers like me? Bye, y'all! Love ya!

P.S. Why do y'all always knock K-Fed? He's an artist, y'all. I saved up all my money so I could buy tickets to his concert and it was the greatest experience of my life even though I was really drunk and I don't remember it. I can't even believe Britney let that man go!

(OK, seriously, THIS is the picture they use, and he's not at the top of the list? What is this, a list for blind people?)

...Wow, this is like the SNL skit where they were making fun of Britney going to the divorce lawyer.

I apologise sincerely for the shortsightedness - nay, blindness - of the judges in this sorry matter. Obviously, I am not the sexiest man in the world, nor would I wish to be. I regret any unhappiness that this undersight has caused both to The Sex and to his Agents - of which I count myself honored to be a member - albeit a lurker.

PS Saarsy's sexier than me too, oh and Heath.

Linna said...

PG, you're so funny! :)

And YES, definitely a list for blind people, I see no other explanation!! As said, who can be sexier than The Sex?! It just doesn't make sense!

Dumbo said...

Exactly, how could he not be at the top with that picture?

veeveevee said...

Someone was high over there at People - how could anyone look at that picture and not realize he was the Sexiest. Man. Ever.???

I feel bad for the other guys in the mag, even Clooney, because when people buy the magazine, and open it up to find that pic of Jake inside, the sexiness level of every single one of the others is going to slide down a notch or two in comparison...

this seems to be a list for people who have no idea about beauty

Finally!!! The Zodiac trailer will be with the new James Bond movie this weekend!!!!!!!

http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=13588

In widest release this weekend is the latest James Bond picture, CASINO ROYALE. This is the first Bond film for Daniel Craig and, hopefully, not his last. Craig is best known for his work in LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER, ROAD TO PERDITION, LAYER CAKE, and MUNICH (I implore you to look for ENDURING LOVE). Trailers looking for placement include SPIDER-MAN 3, ZODIAC, DREAMGIRLS, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, ERAGON, PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, and WE ARE MARSHALL.

Plus, the sneak peak on ET tonight!!

There was a time in my life, long long ago, when George Clooney and Johnny Depp were the standard against which I measured all others. I call that period: Before Jake. Then I made a list. And I put Jake at the top. I haven't been able to fill the rest of it in. Bcz there's Jake. Then there's everyone else.

3:25PM: Finally the trailer! I may go see Casino Royale now this weekend!!

Dude, you're so right. Huh. Props to Amy Poehler for sticking in my head, even when I didn't realize it...

Casino Royale. I am THERE!

If you see only with your eyes, sometimes you see very little. But if you can see with your heart you see truth.


His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
From Kubla Khan
by S.T. Coleridge 1798


For some reason this quote comes to my mind when I see this picture of Jake. Maybe it's magic and we are all bewitched here on JW because he definately is far and away ahead of the pack.

Agnes said...

Blind people indeed. One look at that picture and you can't vote on anyone else. And its so stupid to have a poll about this; his nick is for God sake The sex, how hard can it be?!

Wet For Went said...

Hey at least he made the 15 featured on the site! My Wenty did not. He is #3 on the Internet's Sexiest Guys though. Jake looks GREAT in that pic!

Anonymous said...

I think that Jake just has to bide his time, you know he's gonna get even BETTER looking the older he gets (I know how can that possibly be, he's already HOT, well he's gonna be off the scale as the years go by and mark my words People won't be able to KEEP him off the cover as sexiest man alive!)

britpopbaby said...

The ONLY thing that George has going for him that Jake does not is a mansion on Lake Como but I like to think Jake is still shopping around the Italian lakes for that perfect summer house.

I also like to pretend I'm shopping around for that perfect summer house...but I can't even afford a rest of the year house.

Lizzie said...

You are not gonna believe this, but there ARE people out there who think Jake's ugly. Take my sister for example, she hates him. I don't think I wanna be related to her anymore....

By the way, britpopbaby - thanks for putting our Jake-rocks-our-world-blog on the link list, I feel honored!!!

veeveevee said...

Oh Lizzie, your sister needs help! ;-)

Darn. I really didn't have any interest in going to see the new Bond movie, but now...how crazy would it be to pay $8 just to watch the previews and then head home???

And to Anon 5:22 - you are absolutely right - it sometimes scares me to think how sexy and amazing he's going to be as he ages. People mag WILL take Joyce's advice and rename it the Second Sexiest Man, because NO ONE will compare. (We all know that no one does now, it's just that the rest of the world hasn't caught up yet.)

Elena said...

Mr. Clooney is a bit monotonous in his actin for my taste, although I wouldn't refuse an intimate dinner with George at a Saint-Tropez bistro. btw, Brits, thanks for fixing my link!

Just saw it!!!! It looks so good!! :-)

salailama said...

oh whoa, trailer! but i'm debating if i want to watch it. i have a feeling it will only get me more excited and the anticipation will torture even me more since it won't come out til next march! in fact, i should start wiping it from my memory now so i'll be pleasantly surprised when they start to heavily promote it next feb or something! haha, i'm weird.

salailama said...

btw, don't think it was mentioned, so i just wanted to say happy birthday to the sex's sister and the most adorable new mom maggie, who turns 29 today! haha, because of course, all the gyllenhaal's are reading this blog and its comments religiously (hmm... and maggie's right, irony doesn't translate well in print!)

Nothing Really Matters said...

That looks good!

LOL


OT: be good to this poor not native-speaker girl and explain why there is so much y'all in this post? is it smth the people magazine does, that cloony does or just plain and simple PG's poetic license?

god he's so hot in that pic.

but i still prefer the voting one...

JadziaDragonRider said...

That pic is so sexy I can't stand it. Stupid magazinre people! It reminds me of the "Out Magazine" spread where Jake is lifting up his shirt and there is copious amounts of belly fur and the Scowl of Sex was on full display.

Scowl of Sex


OMG, LOL LOL LOL

Becky Heineke said...

The "y'all" thing was a subtle commentary on the general readership of People magazine, suggesting that that they are not the most educated lot ("y'all" is a Southern thing and while it's not nice to say Southerners aren't educated, being one myself, I feel I can poke fun at my own kind) and thus the choice of George Clooney was a choice based on this readership who is far more likely to have seen Ocean's 12 than Brokeback Mountain. I was suggesting that People made a choice based on their lowest common denominator and not on the fact that George is actually sexier than Jake. 'Cause clearly no.

See, you guys think we just throw these things out there, but we're really trying to make some kind of social commentary here. :) OK, honestly, I came up that theory several hours after I actually wrote the damned thing, but for all I know, that COULD be why I wrote it... :D

i totally recognize your social involvement;P

and thanks for the explanation.

i too think they have to be dim to think that there's someone sexier than jake (i'm almost ashamed of myself for saying that)

Jess said...

Yeah right!! Like there's anyone out there who's sexier than Jake! Please...

Sam said...

I totally agree with you PG. How dare they even consider anyone BUT jake! He should b number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 10, no1 else even comes friggan close! Have they changed it yet?! haha
