Most of my favs have already been pictured and I'm hopless posting pics anyway--so I'll stick to text for my list:

1-George Clooney--the man is a modern-day Cary Grant.

2-Cary Grant-because he was the original! Even he said he wanted to be Cary Grant!

3-Sean Connery--the man is over 70 and is still fine. Seeing him in old Bond films back in the day makes me swoon.

4-Harrison Ford-I don't think he's aged well but I've been in love with him since I was 12 years old and saw Star Wars for the first time. All my little friends were in love with Mark Hamill but not me--my heart belonged to Harrison.

5-Hugh Grant--Again, very Cary Grant like but in a more inept way which is all the more endearing.

6-Colin Firth-because he just is. He's so good at saying everything without saying much of anything. He just smolders.

7-Russell Crowe-it's that whole bad boy thing he's got going on that I adore.

8-And another golden oldie--Clark Gable. Remember the scene in Gone With the Wind where we (and Scarlett) see him for the first time--standing at the bottom of the stairway at the party? Damn, he was fine.

And I've also got a list for news hotties (this may indicate that I spend way too much of my time watching the news btw)

1-Anderson Cooper-CNN-because he's adorable, funny, and smart.

2-Keith Olbermann-MSNBC-because he's smart and funny and can use his wit to snap lesser beings into bits. And because he's not a media whore unlike 99% of the hacks out there today.

(*Upon reflection, I now realize I have a thing with guys who are either grey or getting that way rapidly, who also have Ivy League educations and snarky senses of humor. Hmmm.)

3-John Roberts-CBS-Lord I wish Dan Rather would go ahead and retire and let John have his job.

4-Dan Abrams--MSNBC-legal eagle and hottie.
