Like terrorism, hotness is subjective
OK, I get it. Obviously I committed a cardinal sin by emphasising the attraction of teenage girls to droopy pale vampires. Older women heart Edward too.
I agree with whoever said, rather understatedly, that they're a bit clingy (see pic). I have to confess, though, that after seeing the first film, I went off and read the entire Twilight series, which helped a lot when it came to understanding what the heck was going on in New Moon.
It's interesting how reluctant I am to publicly admit that I've read all the Twilight books. I think it's the lingering shameful thought that I should really have outgrown all this Twitarded nonsense.
Especially since I really don't think Bella and Edward have a healthy relationship at all, what with all the depression and obsessive stalking and 100-year age gap and all. And the relationship between the werewolf pack-leader Sam and his fiancee is just frightening (she was standing too close when he got mad, so he lost control and turned into a werewolf and scarred her face for life, but it's OK because he wasn't himself and she's happy hiding in their cabin and making breakfast for his gang...)
But it's undeniable that Robert Pattinson is the hotness. And Jacob is fairly nice to look at, too, especially when he has to rip his shirt off... which is all the time... cos being part wolf makes you oh so overheated all the time. (And I've always been more of a dog person.)
Although it is a bit weird thinking about Taylor Lautner in that way, since before he turned into a wolf-whistle-worthy werewolf, I remember seeing him as a child actor in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D.
It's interesting that there seems to be a cultural divide when it comes to hotness - the Americans still don't rate RPatz worthy of the top 10 spunk-rats of the year, but the Brits do, rating him top spunkrat ... (depending on which magazine survey you believe.)
Actor Johnny Depp was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive for 2009 (there really should be a Sexiest Man Dead award too, to be fair - I vote for Elvis).
Here's the US magazine's list of 15 sexiest men (alive).
1. JOHNNY DEPP
2. RYAN REYNOLDS (The Proposal)
3. JAKE GYLLENHAAL
4. BRADLEY COOPER (The Hangover)
5. ROBERT DOWNEY JR
6. DAVID BECKHAM
7. GILLES MARINI (Brothers and Sisters)
8. THE GLEE GUYS (from the Glee TV series)
9. NICK CANNON (America's Got Talent host)
10. ADAM LAMBERT (American Idol star) 11. JOHN CHO (Flash Forward)
12. CHRIS DAUGHTRY (singer)
13. JERRY O'CONNELL (actor)
14. JOHN LEGEND (singer)
15. ROBERT PATTINSON (Twilight films)
(Sorry, you're not on the list again, honey... I don't know how that happened.)
So, mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the hottest of them all? And who's scandalously missing from the list? (And no, you can't just write "Me". I mean you, Oh, you know what I mean.)

Don't see the appeal of either of the twilight boys, or most of the guys on the "People" list either. This is more my kind of style (even though I was not alive in any of the decades referred to...): http://www.life.com/image/2637961/in-gallery/35762/sexiest-men-of-the-50s-60s-70s
I thought you were over the vampire buzz?!?! Stop blogging about Twilight!! Roooaaarr!
Anywho, hottest guys on my list: Clive Owen, Gerard Butler, Stephen Moyer and Johnny Depp.
Maybe its because Pattinson is English - the Brits could just be backing their own. He's probably too white and sickly looking for Americans but the Brits are used to paleness. I must say having seen Lautner topless several times in the movie, Pattinson's unbuttoning of his shirt to reveal his skinny white chest was quite laughable.
Johnny Depp deserves number 1, he is the definition of hot, at least in my books. I would have liked to see Gerarld Butler there, although I think its mainly his accent that I like. The accent plus not being hard on the eyes makes him very attractive
*gag* Pattinson. Seriously, he looks like he's 14 and trying to be a big boy. I really dont see the attraction at all! I like my men to look like men, not like wee boys. Clooney....now why isnt he on the list? Eddie Vedder...I'm so looking forward to perving on Friday night!
Hotness is indeed subjective. With the exception of Johnny Depp, I either don't know who these guys are or they leave me cold. I'd add Alexander Skarsgard, Marco Hietala and basically all the members of Opeth.
Generally I find there are more female Hollywood hotties than male ones. I wonder why that is?
That list is wrong. Hugh Jackman isn't in the top 10 let alone the top spot
Well, I'm over New Moon, and so is Miley Cyrus (who's anti-vampire, apparently) but no-one else seems to be with the news that NZ hearts New Moon even more than Hobbits! According the the latest press release: New Moon grossed over $2,640,000 in its opening weekend (4 days) making it the biggest opening of any film in New Zealand history. The previous record holder was The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. The film took over NZ$2.6m at the box office from 91 screens nationwide. It opened at cinemas on Thursday 19th November taking over $200,000 from midnight sessions alone. The film will definitely exceed the first movie in the saga, Twilight, which took over $3.7m.
Johnny is timeless and gorgeous and is still the ideal for me!
But speaking of hot vampires, why the hell wasn't Alexander Skarsgard on anyone's list? I think he's been voted Sweden's hottest man several times, but the U.S and the U.K haven't caught on. He's pretty damn delicious!
I'm so frustrated by all this romantic blood-sucking nerdiness. Honestly, a theme gets a chance turn in cinema and suddenly it's being done to death. I'd rather watch a Police Academy remake than another vampire film. Vampire-cum-emo teenagers? How about something rough and raunchy for a change? Cthulu-esque bank robbers, Hyborean-origin extreme sports and flesh-eating marines sounds more like my cup of fantastic tea. Alas, all too scarce these days. Likewise, good, hard science fiction films. Trek is classified as SF solely because it is set largely in space but there's no story to speak of. It's a disgrace and I won't stand for it!

For me I think it will always be Johnny. I am very curious to see what he looks like when he hits 60 or something because to me he only seems to get hotter the older he gets.
