I liked their choices up until the title “Drama Queen of the Year” — because Mr. Penn played a homosexual? And all gay men are automatically drag queens, I suppose. Did we just jump back a decade or four?

I’ll lighten up by mentioning that I almost busted a gut at your “tongue in cheek” comment, Liz. ;-)

I should probably get off this addictive site and get ready for work, now…

Liz, aren’t I on the list of top men?! Ha! Glad you and Marlo got to powwow recently. Two of my favorite women!

Barack Obama, Jon Hamm and Michael Phelps are each incredibly handsome men….but Leonardo? I just don’t see that……

I wondered about the same thing. Is it because of his work to save the Polar Bears, or did his publicist get him on it. Although, I think he sells a lot of magazine covers.

Well, my choice for man of the year for just one more time is Mr. Timeless himself—-Paul Newman. He was a prince of a man, he loved his craft and had an innate ability to find the character within, and wasn’t bad looking on top of it all. And, his charities donated millions to those in need.

Liz!

Well it appears that GQ has covered every possible male demographic in order to beef up the year end sales. Perfect choices to appeal to the broadest base of men 16-40/gay/straight. As a woman I appreciate every one of them as a major talent.

As for Megan Fox. Huh? WTF? Is Paris Hilton getting too old to be the most famous non-talent?

Did we really have to go out and find a new NON-celebrity with one meagre acting credit who by proxy will make some plastic surgeon more famous and desirable than SHE is??? Or perhaps she’s someone’s love child yet to be revealed?

Argh. Men really do have two brains.

Liz, more videos please. It is just so much more funny to actually HEAR the cheekiness in your delivery. You crack me up.
