Who should be People's 2006 Sexiest Man Alive?

People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue comes out this Wednesday, and it’s about time — this whole year I’ve had no idea who I should be considering hot! According to NY Post gossip columnist Liz Smith, Diddy will be one of the 15 finalists hand-picked by God. Him? Eh.

So who else should it be, PopWatchers? If I had my way, the winner would be my fake boyfriend, Henry Ian Cusick from Lost. He’s tall, strong, believable in tie-dye, and (understandably) a little off in the head, just the way I like ’em. (I embrace this obsession of mine well aware that if not for the accent, I probably wouldn’t care about the dude.)

I’ll start off a list (based on an informal staff poll that had Slezak “clutching his pearls” at the mere thought of Wenty) to get the ball rolling…

• Christian Bale
• Wentworth Miller
• Wentworth Miller’s brother on that show
• David Caruso
• KIDDING!
• John Krasinski
• Jason Lee
• Jamie Foxx (probably deserves it after being relegated to “Sexiest Body Parts” last year)
• Justin Timberlake (Obligatory. It will happen.)
• Sacha Baron Cohen (Sexytime!)
• Eric Dane
• Robin Thicke
• Romany Malco (Weeds)
• James Tupper (Men in Trees)
• Allistair Appleton (because who doesn’t DVR Cash in the Attic)?
• Are we TV-obsessed much? Movies? What?
• Tyra Banks
• Hurley
