SEXIEST MAN AWARD GOES TO...
Hugh Jackman (better known for his role as Wolverine in XMEN) was just voted by the public as "Sexiest man alive" by People Magazine.
Sneak Peak at the article below:
He's a triple threat: a star who can sing, dance and wield a weapon. At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Jackman, 40, looms large in the epic Australia, and left people stammering, "Oh ... my ... God," according to costar Nicole Kidman. Jackman's wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form "the Body of Doom – but I like what's inside": a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for kids Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.

!HOT ACTOR ALERT!
ROBERT PATTINSON
Birth date: May 13, 1986
Hometown: London, England UK
Teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson is about to take on his second MAJOR role as "the perfect, handsome, and dazzling stud." He played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire who was described in the novel as "PERFECT", now in the new movie TWILIGHT (see entry) he is ready to take on another studly character, Edward Cullen, a vampire who falls in love with a human and is forbidden to be close to her without putting her in harms way.
He was not a very well known actor before Goblet of Fire, and is just now getting his chance in the spotlight. Because of the trendy new book TWILIGHT and the rest of the series,that have brought on a HUGEEEEEE fan base, he is now literally in danger when roaming the streets because of how many girls are after him.
He started off in straight plays, starring in "Our town" and only later decided to be in films. He began his film career doing short films; some now released.
He has a love for music, plays guitar, and sings, however he is an independent artist who has recently put out one of his songs on the soundtrack for TWILIGHT titled "Never Think." This might lead to his release as a known artist.
His trademark is his hair, said that he has "not washed it for two years." haha
Still his good looks makeup for any rumor that come out.

STORY:
After being betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Having captured Mr. White, and in pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and 'M' interrogate Mr. White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper to steal Bond's casino winnings is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille, a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene, a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious criminal organization known only as 'Quantum'.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the worlds most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a nameless Latin American country, giving General Medrano control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land which is, however, a main source of the South American water supply. In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists, and even 'M' herself, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop Quantum from getting its way.
