Hats off to you, Johnny Depp.  You have managed to snag People’s coveted Sexiest Man Alive distinction twice in this decade.  The first to do so and only the fourth (can you name the other three?) man to get the honor twice.  Now, I have a sneaking suspicion that this title doesn’t mean much to you…you seem like the type of guy to eschew such fan fare.  But then again, you did just sign on to do the fourth Pirates movie…to the sweet tune of $35 million dollars.  To paraphrase you from your Vanity Fair interview earlier this year, “Money doesn’t buy you happiness but it can buy you an island to pull your boat up to.”  I’m gonna guess you’re having the last laugh and soaking up your sexiness on your island in the Bahamas…

People magazine must have decided to forecast that you are going to be the sexiest thing around again once that Pirates movie starts filming and all the hoopla that is sure to follow.  And you were working on several movies this year that will be coming out in 2010, so that is surely part of it.  But you flew under the radar and this choice seems like an odd one, especially with New Moon coming out on Friday and all of the  frenzy surrounding Robert Pattinson.  Even Jennie Garth was talking on the red carpet that she can’t wait to see more of Rob with his shirt off - even though her husband was standing there and plays one of the main vampires in the movie.  Rob is a hot ticket and, if I was a betting woman, I would have bet he owned the Sexiest Man Title this year.  So I gotta hand it to you, Johnny, you sexy thang.
