Not many people realize that 71-year old grizzled whisky hound Nick Nolte actually got his start in Hollywood after he starred in a Clairol commercial with Sigourney Weaver. Now you have something that you can impress your friends with when you all meet for Bud heavies after you punch out at the steel mill. Nolte was also originally a promising football player, but thanks to his success as a hunky model, casting directors quickly took notice and he first showed up in Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, whatever that was.

Nolte soon carved his niche as ultimate rough-around-the-edges leading male, culminating in People Magazine naming him the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1992. Nick Nolte was Channing Tatum before Channing Tatum was even strapping on his first pair of fly kicks.

Unfortunately, most people only know Nolte for his unfortunate 2002 drunk driving mugshot, and not this much more handsome mugshot. But I’m extremely happy to tell you all today – especially the ladies – that hunky Nolte is back and he is better than ever.

Burnsy already broke the news yesterday accompanied by this glorious Photoshop, but in case you didn’t trust an early exclusive from a site called “gossipcop,” rest easy as it has been confirmed, Channing Tatum has been named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. Burnsy and I feel pretty confident in taking credit for all of C-Tates’ success thus far, and we couldn’t be happier for him.

But of course, the internet couldn’t simply accept this news without starting

“I really think it’s time that we as a nation confront @PeopleMag about their Sexiest Man Alive voting. Recount! #teamryan” wrote @haleyleigh.

“Channing Tatum looks a lot like this one guy I regretted making out with. Gosling looks like the human personification of Ecstasy. #teamryan” wrote @summeranne.

“One could make the argument that Ryan Gosling would even be the sexiest man dead, too. #teamryan,” wrote @samir.

“PEOPLE should just start a monthly Ryan Gosling mag to make up for the travesty of not picking him for Sexiest Man again. #teamryan” wrote @msmarysa.

“Seriously, does People magazine have something against Gosling? No offense Tatum, I think you’re tops, just not as tops as #teamryan” ‏@Gillian_English [AlbanyUnion]

Stop it, just stop. This is stupid. Look, I’m the President of Huggalo Nation, but comparing Baby Goose and C-Tates is like comparing the white swan to the… uh… the swan that dresses like a black swan. Sometimes you want a sweet boy who’ll bake you a lasagna and sing double dutch rhymes with your niece, and other times you want a guy to drop the beat and wave his C-piece in your face. True story: When SirMixaLot sang “even whiteboys got ta shout,” he was talking about Channing Tatum. Let’s let him enjoy the moment, shall we?

Earlier today, I received an email from the fine people at Gentlemen’s Quarterly magazine regarding their selections for the annual “Men of the Year” feature, or however they refer to it. Ben Affleck was named Director of the Year for Argo, and you can tell it’s a distinguishing honor because he has a sprinkle of salt in his pepper. And singer Rihanna was named Obsession of the Year, and I don’t know what that means, because I feel like she needs a vacation.

But the big winner was our favorite rec center savior, Channing Tatum, who was named Movie Star of the Year, and nobody can deny how much he absolutely deserves that honor. His films The Vow, 21 Jump Street and Magic Mike each grossed more than $100 million, and his presence (or lack thereof) managed to derail the summer release of Paramount’s blockbuster, GI Joe: Retaliation, because his fans were irate that his character Duke was being killed off.

So does the good news stop there? HELL NAW. According to Gossip Cop, our beloved C-Tates will bring home his greatest honor yet when People Magazine will reportedly announce tomorrow that he is the 2012 Sexiest Man Alive. Respek.

It has only been three months, but the pain still feels fresh. Back in November, People magazine had the nerve – nay, THE BALLS! – to claim that Bradley Cooper was the Sexiest Man Alive. Normally, we wouldn’t care, but People chose the star of Limitless and The A*Team over our favorite chosen son, Ryan Gosling. And the world shared our outrage and acted accordingly.

As if the dagger wound wasn’t painful enough, along comes Heat magazine – whatever that is – to twist the blade and leave us in further agony. According to 1,000 or so of Heat’s readers, Gosling is indeed in the conversation of the Sexiest Man on the Planet, but once again he is left in the dust of a greater stag – David Beckham.

According to Digital Spy, heat’s Top 25 looks like this…
