I had to admit to Alpha Man last night that I was bumping George Clooney off my list for a newbie. You know the list I mean, right? Don’t even try to tell me you don’t all have a list. It’s the Can’t-Divorce-Me-If-I-Do-Them list!
Anyway, I was reading one of my fave sites this morning, Dooce, and saw she’d done the same thing.
Here’s my newest edition to my list:
I know there’s all this talk about how ridiculously low he wears his swimgear, and I have to say, that doesn’t bother me one little bit. 
So here’s my new top five:
Matt Damon
Johnny Depp
Clive Owen
Michael Phelps
Matt Damon
You’ll notice I have Matt Damon on twice. I call it a Matt Damon sandwich.
Now you. Your top five?

Hmmm can’t say Mr Phelps does it for me but then it leaves the field clear for you
My list is:
Sam West
Hugh Jackman
Gerard Butler
The Great Britain Men’s Rowing Quad
Sam West
Mind you having met Sam West and made a fool of myself (also know as The Sam West Debacle)the likelihood is less than if I hadn’t met him *sigh*

Johnny Depp - for Captain Jack Sparrow.
Daniel Sunjata - Go ahead. Google him, baby. But he’s mine. He danced with Carrie on Sex and the City. I think the episode was The Fleet’s In.
Jude Law for being the sexiest man alive in glasses. See The Holiday.
Viggo Mortensen - but only if we could play Lord of the Rings together.
Johnny Depp - for Roux in Chocolat.
There. I sandwiched them, but you could put them all in a nice big ice cream dish and give me a spoon.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 5:31 amBoy, that woke me up. I don’t even think I need caffeine.
Dee says:
I hate to tell you this, but Viggo Mortenson missed my list because I read something that says he doesn’t wear deoderant. Eeeuw….
I cannot think of George Clooney as sexy AT ALL - why? My brother looks enough like him that it creates a yuck forcefield that I cannot see past. However, any of you Clooney-swooners who want to see my brother, send me an email. The address is on my blog.
Jude Law - I forgot him. He is incredibly sexy.
I’m single, so I get more fantasy men! Yay!
Dee

Wow, so many to choose from…I guess my five would be…
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 6:06 amCarter Oosterhouse -yummy carpenter
Josh Lucas -apparantly Jill doesn’t want him anymore so I’ll take him!!
Paul Walker -too hot
Josh Hartnett -cutie
and Johnny Knoxville, although I’m not sure why!!
Elen says:
Dee said: I hate to tell you this, but Viggo Mortenson missed my list because I read something that says he doesn’t wear deoderant. Eeeuw….
But, but, but Dee, My To Do list has to do exactly what I want. And that’s exactly how I filed this list after I compiled it — To Do List 2008. rotfl
This is all your fault, Jill.

I don’t know who Clive Owen is…….
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 6:31 amMelissa says:
There’s only one, Paul McGillion. Yeah, he’s shorter than me but so is most of the male populace. I’m THAT tall. There’s just something about a Scotts man that melts me and makes me go all a twitterpaited.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 6:51 amCasee says:

I have to edit my list to add Mr. Drew Fuller. For those of you who don’t know who he is… ever watch Army Wives? Trevor LeBlanc? OMG. I just flipped open my Redbook this morning to see his beautiful face (only, uh, could ya smile Drew? Your smile is just too darn pretty to waste!) and went “OH! I have to add him to my list!”
Also stealing JDM and Patrick Dempsey from Ang. How could I forget them?! Oh! And Justin Chambers!
Ok, looks like I have to implement the “I’m single” rule…

Hmmm. Is there really only one American on my list?
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 9:42 amJill says:
I am loving these lists and am glad I’m not alone in having one.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 9:57 amapril says:
I have a Freebie list. It hasn’t changed in forever.
My childhood freebie was always Chris O’Donnell so he always gets special treatment. My all-time top of the list is Kyle Chandler (so you can imagine how happy I was that both appeared in Season 2 of Grey’s Anatomy).
Jensen Ackles definitely makes my revised list. I really like Simon Baker, Jesse Spencer, and I’ll throw in Taye Diggs after his year on Private Practice and ending the season with him shirtless. mmmm (Though wow to Tim Daly, too.)
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 10:15 amDonna M says:
Oh Wow! I don’t really have a list but I do have an oh yum factor!!!!
I would let Michael Phelps date my daughter!! He looks like he could be trusted with them!! Of course, one daughter is married & the other is quite a few years older… 
1. David James Elliott
2. Tom Sellack
3. Sean Connery
4. Tom Hanks
5. Denzel Washington
None of them are available but I think it is okay to drool in private!!
I’m sure once I submit this my brain will kick in with more!! 
Fun subject for the day!!

I have to disagree with you on the Michael Phelps thing. He is just too geeky for me. Granted, he’s an amazing athlete and seems like a good boy, but he is so unappealing to me. I thought if they showed him screaming with his arms out one more time, I was going to hurl … but that’s just me.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 11:10 amOk, my list:
George Clooney (totally used to have VIVID dreams about him
Hugh Jackman Oh my!
Dennis Quaid
Brett Favre

Diana says:
Hmm, not sure who my top five would be, but I know actor Ryan Gosling would be on the list. Probably Christian Bale, too.
I was quite obsessed with Michael Phelps four years ago and collected anything I could related to him. Jill, have you seen this?

Jill - there’s a video of Phelps and his team winning that amazing relay… I watched it half a dozen times for all the waxed, ripped, wet men in low-riding swim trunks. With their arms around each other. I drool just thinking about it.
Okay, we’re seriously missing the Brad Pitt representation here…
1) Brad Pitt (first and forever, can’t get around it)
2) Johnny Depp - as Captain Jack
3) Russell Crowe - in a Gladiator skirt, baby
4) Hugh Jackman
5) Patrick Dempsey — new to the list, but wow
I consider The List a fluid thing… it usually changes with which movie I’ve seen last.

I will have to think on a list…… 
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 2:24 pmTori Lennox says:
Wow. I thought I was the only person in the world who knew who Sam West was! He’s definitely on my list. So is:
Ryan Lochte
Hugh Jackman
Pierce Brosnan
Robson Green
Considering I’m not actually English, I have a lot of Brit actors on my list. *g* And one cutie pie swimmer.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 2:53 pmVictoria says:
Patrick Dempsey as Dr. McDreamy and only McDreamy!!
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 4:05 pmDavid James Elliott in his Navy uniform from JAG YUM!
Brad Pitt cuz he’s just hot!
Pierce Brosnan cuz I like his accent
And McDreamy again… I’d do him forever! (if he didn’t have that whole wife thing)

p.s. Jill - Clive Owen is one yummy hombre. Did you see the British detective series he was in? Then, there was King Arthur, The Bourne Identity, Children of Men…. Okay. Maybe he gets his own list.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 6:42 pmJulieLeto says:
Eduardo Verastegui (google him! You’ll be glad you did.)
Colin Firth
Jon Bon Jovi
Benjamin Bratt
Nicholas Cage
I have very eclectic tastes.
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 9:11 pmNina says:
I read these lists and since I have a huge memory for info I probably won’t need I remembered what Elen said about Daniel Sunjata. Had no idea who he was or anything. Guess what. I go channel surfing last night during a commercial break instead of raiding the fridge and I happen to come across the exact scene of SATC where Carrie dances with him. What are the odds of that? I mean, it’s not like I’m a regular fan or anything of the series. Just had to share.
Hmm… got to have a cup of tea before I compile a list. Too early in the morning. I’ll be back!

Ooh, fun!
1) Jeffrey Dean Morgan (GAH! LOVE him. Completely obsessed.)
2) Clooney
3) Gerard Butler
Oh, I can’t decide….Jensen Ackles? Richard Armitage? Helo from Battlestar Galactica? Chris Noth 10 years ago?
Posted on August 20th, 2008 at 2:49 pmPatricia says:
I don’t have a list, but, I know if I did, it would include:
1. Simon Baker (joining several others here). When he did that CBS series, I kept asking myself, why is this guy unknown?
2. Clooney. Not only is he dreamy, but, he’s so intelligent about important RL issues. Hard to not be impressed with a guy who has both!
Still thinking beyond this…

Chris Noth-Oh, he’s Mr. Big alright!
Jack Nicholson-OK, I hate to admit this one, but there is just so much animal magnatism in that man!
