1. Channing Tatum is People's Sexiest Man Alive

Today, People announced that Magic Mike star Channing Tatum had earned the magazine's — and perhaps our nation's — highest honor: The Sexiest Man Alive award. The magazine praises the "Alabama-bred heartthrob" as a man who sculpts, gives excellent massages, and quotes Edgar Allan Poe (surely the most sensuous writer of the grotesque and macabre). Tatum's wife praises him as "emotionally deep and spiritually open" — qualities that seem to rank somewhere below "looked really hot in that male stripper movie."
