As you probably already know, I have a deep and unending Pinterest love affair with Ryan Gosling. Hey girl Ryan Gosling is pretty much my favorite piece of eye candy in the whole box of delicious eye candy.
Remember the hubub last year about People’s Sexiest Man Alive? When Bradley Cooper beat out Ryan Gosling for Sexiest Man Alive 2011 and we were all clutching our pearls and protesting in the streets — I mean, for real, there were people who created signs and protested People Magazine’s headquarters. That. Happened. Of course, later it was rumored that, Hey Girl Ryan Gosling respectfully declined the coveted title because he’s sexy enough on his own without a magazine confirming it. Hey Girl Ryan Gosling is far too hipster for that pedestrian nonsense.
Yesterday People released this year’s Sexiest Man Alive 2012, none other than star of this year’s Sexiest Movie Alive, Magic Mike, Channing Tatum. The fact that I always want to type his name Channum Tating aside, I was shocked, surprised and in complete disagreement with this choice. Hot, sure. Glistening chiseled bod? Correct. Able to accurately portray a stripper? Absolutely. Sexiest Man Alive? Eh. Meh. Oh. Hey Girl Ryan Gosling was robbed. Again.
In the article, Channing Tatum was surprised about being awarded Sexiest Man Alive 2012:
“My first thought was, ‘Y’all are messing with me,’….I told Jenna after we’d been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they’d gotten skunked.”
America, THIS IS YOUR SEXIEST MAN ALIVE .
There is no contest. Hey Girl Ryan Gosling is way sexier.
Or?
I think the choice is clear. Hey Girl Ryan Gosling was beat out of Sexiest Man Alive by a beefcake. Although EarthHam makes a very sound argument about how People got it right using MATH (and math doesn’t lie) (Just like Shakira’s hips)(2006 called and they said we could keep that dated Shakira joke), Buzzfeed posted an amazing pictorial about how People got Sexiest Man Alive wrong.
Hey Girl Ryan Gosling is OK with it.

RIGHT!? It’s ‘just unfair is what it is.
People magazine’s choice for Sexiest Anything is never the right one. People does not speak for the people. Or something.
I don’t find Channing attractive at all. But I’ve only seen pictures online. I haven’t seen any of his movies yet.

This is so whack. Ok – I agree with you about Ryan Gossling. But do you know I have been developing a teeny-tiny (i.e. stalker like) crush on lately? Chris Hemsworth.
Fuck it. Guy is HOT.

That photo of Channing Tatum sums up how I think he is in real life. Just kinda gross. Ryan Gosling? Yum. And he’s here in Austin RIGHT. NOW. filming a movie, so of course I have to go everywhere fully dressed and looking somewhat decent JUST in case I run into him.

Channing Tatum may be as dumb as a pile of bricks, but he doesn’t really need to talk for what I need him for.

Both of these men are my boyfriends, so I’m ok with this year’s choice. Bradley Cooper, on the other hand, was totally undeserving of the award. The man does absolutely nothing for me. I will, however, be loudly cheering for our boy Ryan for next year’s title!

I agree. Ally and I went to see Magic Mike and we were all aflutter afterward. Because that boy is not hard to look at. However, there is no contest between him and The Gos when it comes to sexy. Not even a little bit.

I thought of you when I saw the news of People’s Sexiest Man. I wasn’t a big Ryan Gosling fan – until this year. And Channing Tatum? Ugh. Definite no.
