Kim Kardashian hosted ABC's "People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2010" special on Wednesday, Nov. 17, because, in her words: "I happen to know a little bit about sexy." [Insert obligatory sex tape joke here.]So who is the sexiest man alive? (By the way, previous winner Matthew McConaughey would like to note that it's not about who is the sexiest man on earth. "There's life out there, extraterrestrial life," he reminds us.)
The coveted prize goes to Ryan Reynolds, who has certainly had a banner year, most notably gaining critical acclaim from his performance in "Buried."
According to the special, there's a very complicated algorithm for choosing who tops the list. In several top secret meetings People Magazine experts analyze the public's interest in a celebrity. The oldest Sexiest Man Alive was Sean Connery, at 59. The youngest was John F. Kennedy, Jr., who was 27 when he was chosen.
Don't expect them to go any younger. "It's not the Sexiest Teenybopper Alive," one exec quipped. "It's not Justin Bieber's time."
So what do you think of Reynolds, who is currently anticipating the release of his 2011 blockbuster "Green Lantern," winning? One woman who agrees with the choice is sexy man expert Betty White. "So many young men at that age are so full of themselves and so full of attitude," she says. "He wasn't."

I whole heartily agree with People Magazine naming Ryan Reynold as Sexiest Man of the Year. We have been talking about him at lunch (at an elementary school, and I am 55!) I used to watch him on Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. He was so sweet in Definitely Maybe and funny and sexy in The Proposal. He is also a great dramatic actor. And those abs definitely don't hurt!
yup, i remember him when he was
on ABC's sitcom 2 guys a pizza place
and a girl..Anyone remember that
show? I knew then he was sexy as
hell...what took People magazine so
long??
I've been a fan of Ryan for quite a while and I must say that I whole-heartily agree with People Magazine. You go Ryan!
Hundred Thousand % agree with the win for Ryan! I've always thought he was gorgeous! WTG! Reynolds FTW!
Honestly, I'd never heard of him until now. I think it should have gone to Ian Somerhalder!! LOL
Picture doesn't do him justice...he's much better looking than the People cover... but yes, agree - very sexy and sweet, too
Yayyyyy clooney or pitt didnt win!!! lol
Guess People hasn't seen Craigery Morgan. Sexy on a stick.
He definately is!!! I've been into Ryan for a looong time and this is a long time happening. Go you handsome hunk.
Congratulations to Ryan!!! I think he is a good choice. It is so sad that there are so many people who seem to be angry about it. Of all the names being battered around. No panel in their right mind could ever decide on anybody!! This is so subjective
