Jake Gyllenhaal & Robert Pattinson: sexiest men in People's 2009 list

JAKE GYLLENHAAL, 28
"Jake is the kind of guy who can do a spot-on impression of someone you work with that will make you giggle", ravesBrothers costar Natalie Portman about the 28-year-old. "He plays guitar and has a great voice. Kids and dogs love him. He loves his mom and sister and girlfriend. He's perfect. Too bad he's ugly".
From a sexy swashbuckler in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to quirkier roles like Edward Scissorhands, the 46-year-old star has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on 21 Jump Street. Yet it's his devotion to his family that really makes the actor so endearing. "I could sit there all day and do nothing but watch them grow," he's said of children Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, 7. "I'm totally inspired by them.""Johnny Depp takes the cover of People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue (he also scored the honor in 2003).

“Johnny Depp has magical powers. He’s unlike anyone else,” says actress Isla Fisher, who’s married to Sacha Baron Cohen. “He’s funny, generous and clever. It’s just a shame he’s so hard on the eyes.”

Other stars who made the cut: Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and the Glee guys".

ADAM LAMBERT
Think you have a shot with the American Idol star? You do if you're an upbeat person. "I love people with good energy," says Lambert, 27. "It's even better when you can hook up with one of them."
What list of sexy men would be complete without the New Moon heartthrob? From his eyes to his artfully messy hair, the 23-year-old makes girls swoon the world over – or does he? As Pattinson says, "I still can't get a date."
"Those eyes. That pout. That stubble. The unkempt flow of his devil-may-care mane. Is it any wonder that People magazine has dubbed New Moon star Robert Pattinson the top hunk in show-biz? Source: www.people.com

"To the surprise of probably no one, R-Pattz got the Sexiest Man Alive nod from People for 2009, landing his dreamy mug on a new special double-issue.

"The Twilight series follows the shy Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart, who arrives in the town of Forks, Washington, and promptly falls in love with the “impossibly beautiful” Edward, a vampire destined to be 17-years-old for eternity.The self-effacing Pattinson believes it’s his character fans have fallen for, not him. “I think a lot of people want to hold up the Edward and Bella relationship as being an ideal relationship. It’s about total commitment but there’s always that sense of danger there as well.”A dangerous vampire he may be but he’s also charming, cultured and romantic. More importantly perhaps, he’s the hot guy that falls for the ordinary girl-next-door and that’s always going to resonate with hopeful teens.The ’Pattinson effect’ may now see fans fainting at the mere mention of his name, but rewind a couple of years to the news that he’d been cast in the lead role and there was an outcry from ’Twi-hards’ who labelled him “disgusting”, “scruffy” and even “repulsive”. There’s been much talk of an off-screen romance between Pattinson and Stewart, 19, something that neither party will confirm or deny despite recent photos of the pair holding hands in Paris.An accomplished musician, he also misses playing the piano and guitar at open mic nights, something he used to do when work dried up pre-Twilight. “I guess the only way to do gigs now is to do an album to silence everybody first. Then you can play as many gigs as you want.”To satisfy the teenage thirst for the boys and their pecs, “You get a lot of nipple shots in this movie,” says Pattinson laughing. Lautner piled on 30 pounds of muscle for the second movie and it’s his physical transformation that’s currently causing a stir. “I was really terrified,” says Pattinson chuckling. “I hadn’t worked out at all and then I saw Taylor at the beginning of the year and I did feel incredibly inadequate.”Aside from wishing to hide what he describes as his “pre-pubescent girl’s body”, the other reason he prefers to don the layers rather than take them off is so that fans “can’t see me hyperventilating”.Bewildered, almost apologetic about his success, it sounds like he has his family to thank for keeping him so grounded despite the hype. “I don’t think they really know what I’m doing,” he says with another infectious chuckle. “I still think they have trouble understanding I’m supposed to be an actor, the same way I do.”

Fans want Pattinson & Stewart together

More outtakes of Robert Pattinson in "Vanity Fair" magazine, December 2009.

"I dream explicit dreams about Edward. You can't put down what I dream about Edward. It is very, very erotic. It's not Rob Pattinson. It's Edward."That said, all the women feel that "there's a little bit of Edward in every guy" if you dig, but it seems unlikely that the dudes are going to bother to find out, let alone read the "7 Lessons Guys Can Learn from Edward Cullen" posted (by a woman) on YouTube". Source: www.jezebel.com

"Twilight is different from other vampire movies. Not to sound too girly, but I liked the love-story aspect. Edward's like an old-fashioned gentleman. He's got strength, speed, and a charm that women can't resist."If the Twilight saga taps into a vein of female fantasy and male failure, then Forks—smack-dab in the part of the country that gave us Kurt Cobain and Twin Peaks—truly is the perfect setting for it. Forks is, in a way, an emasculated town. It used to be a timber hub; right on Main Street there's a commemorative slab of Sitka spruce nearly 12 feet in diameter and marked by a sign that says: WELCOME TO FORKS: LOGGING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. You can't miss the phallic symbolism."Jim Roden, a 37-year-old Navy reservist from Oregon who's about to ship off to Afghanistan, made a pilgrimage to Forks with his two young sons and his 33-year-old wife, Dawn. This whole Edward thing—Roden's given it some serious thought. "The seduction aspect of it, that forbidden romance, that hint of danger and intrigue—most of the girls dig that stuff, and most of the guys are not able to pan it out on a daily basis", he says. "It makes you think: Why can't I ante up and do those kinds of things? Have I slipped a little? Have I gotten a little too comfortable? When was the last time I bought her flowers? Or took her out? When was the last time I was spontaneous?"

"Kristen Stewart has shot to fame since the beginning of the Twilight Saga, but the fame has not strayed her focus. The 19-year-old actress recently opened up to Parade magazine about diving into the role of Bella Swan and her romance with Robert Pattinson. “She is confident but not arrogant. Bella is like, ‘I’m allowed to make mistakes and I’m going to do things and take chances and not be ashamed of it”, Kristen explained about her character. “You see this girl really build herself back up, and by the time she makes this sort of rash decision to spend eternity with a vampire, you believe her. She’s lived life. She’s grown up.”With nailing the role of Bella, Kristen has had to face more fame than most actresses. "As soon as I stopped trying to control everything that came out of my mouth and every picture of me that came out, that's when I became so much happier,” Kristen revealed. “It wasn't like some big turning point; I've just grown into being able not to care as much. I realize that I'm not going to be able to influence the way everybody perceives me."As far as her relationship with Robert Pattinson, Kristen knows what people want, but she’s not opening-up about her personal relationship with him. “I get why fans want to know more about the cast as real people and they want us to be together and all of that. I just have to sort of not think about that”, Kristen explained. “People have a hard time separating us from our characters. There's an incredibly large group that spends most of their time absorbed in the lives of people who've gotten some notoriety. It's strange to me. I can't have anything to do with it or else I'd step in and mess it up for myself, I just let it fall by the wayside. It doesn't really affect me." Source: www.dailyfill.com

Kirsten Dunst Allure Photo Shoot & Interview

"Kirsten Dunst has played the victim of a vampire and the guillotine. But at our cover shoot, she was cheery and game for anything. See these exclusive outtakes from her shoot with photographer Carter Smith. For more photos, as well as the profile "Testing the Waters", pick up the December issue of Allure, on newsstands November 24.Dunst has been famous since she was 12, but she's low-key nonetheless: She drove to our shoot at Los Angeles's Franklin Canyon Lake in a silver Prius, and didn't ask for anything more than a Hansen's pomegranate soda throughout the steaming-hot day."Kirsten's hair has a great natural wave, but I wanted to make it more playful and tousled," said hairstylist Ken O'Rourke, shown here with the actress. He curled pieces with a curling iron, then misted the sections with a mix of water and mousse—his own concoction—to make the hair look "less polished", he said."My look for Kirsten was a sexed-up version of her usual laid-back approach to beauty," said makeup artist Polly Osmond, who applied short false eyelashes and rimmed her eyes with black liner, then added black mascara, cream blush, and nude lip gloss. Here, the actress poses carefully (it was muddy) for Smith in a cotton dress by Nolita.When Allure's creative director, Paul Cavaco (above), called the actress a week before the shoot to discuss clothes and ideas for the photographs, the actress was on her way to New Orleans. Her road trip through the South inspired her to suggest a Southern Gothic theme for the pictures. "You can see why Kirsten is a good actress," said Cavaco. "She is involved in the entire process."1999: WITH MICHELLE WILLIAMS IN DICK
"Michelle and I have remained friends. We played Deep Throat in the Watergate scandal. It's a really clever film. It's funny for kids, but also good for adults".
2004: WITH THEN BOYFRIEND JAKE GYLLENHAAL AT THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW PREMIERE IN NEW YORK CITY
"I'm wearing a Chanel blazer, and all my hair is chopped off. I think that's fake snow. We were at the Museum of Natural History. If I saw him, it'd be nice to see him, but we're not good friends".
2006: WITH SOFIA COPPOLA ON THE SET OF MARIE ANTOINETTE
"I remember this outfit because she's being cut in half—that kind of metaphor. She was interested in painting and dancing and not studying, and Louis XVI was thrown into it, as was she. He liked to make clocks. When you think of them like that, it's more human."
2007: WITH KARL LAGERFELD AT THE CHANEL SHOW IN PARIS
"He uses the same stuff I do to make your hair look clean: Klorane dry shampoo. It's great stuff—you just have to shower less. It has a white powdery effect. He's from Germany, and I speak a little from my dad, so we chatted in German."
2009: ON SET FOR A TAKASHI MURAKAMI VIDEO IN TOKYO
"There are girls who dress up like cartoons—they live out this weird fantasy that we would never live out in America. Murakami is so humble and kind. I collect art, but I can't afford Murakami". Dunst's role in All Good Things, which comes out in March, is different than anything she's done before. She plays Kathleen McCormack, the first wife of real-estate heir Robert A. Durst; McCormack disappeared in the early 1980s and has never been found. "I got to play out things emotionally —I can recognize the behavior I share with this character, then work things out that I didn't have a way of expressing", says the actress".
