John Legend

Old hat.

For the second time, People has named Johnny Depp as its Sexiest Man Alive. Last year they picked Hugh Jackman. Depp had won in 2003 too. (See the covers from now and then above.)

Hot damn!

John Legend is packing heat!

The multiple Grammy award winning artist was snapped on Ocean Drive in Miami this afternoon taking his bulldog, and some serious músculos, for a walk about.

Herro. We had no idea there was so much good lovin' going on under those pesky clothes he usually wears.

—Sasha Perl-Raver

This is NOT a trend we support!

We hoped men in black leather calf boots went out with the plaid tide that Nirvana and Pearl Jam washed in, but apparently some a-hole has decided to revive the hideousness.

Bad call!

This afternoon Russell Brand, wearing Mary-Kate Olsen’s hand-me-downs, was spotted in Beverly Hills wearing the lace up version of this fashion travesty while, on Saturday, John Legend pulled on the high sheen Gestapo version to goose-step down the CNN Heroes tribute red carpet at the Kodak Theater.

Before a single dancer hit the floor last night, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, sounding incredible, sang her classic “Chain of Fools.” If ABC is going to make us sit through an hour of filler before announcing which three couples have made it to the finals, THIS is the kind of entertainment we wish we had all the time.

Following Aretha was the emerging princess of pop, Leona Lewis. She is stunning in every imaginable way: her face, her voice, her body, her hair. We love Leona!
