People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive 2009 has been named and some are saying it's a bit of a shocker, as it's Johnny Depp and not the favorite Robert Pattinson.

Many thought that the world's favorite vampire was a shoe-in to win, but for the second time in his life, Johnny Depp has taken the title from the younger man. Only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have also been named People's Sexiest Man Alive twice.

At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.

Don't worry, Robert Pattinson did make the list, as did Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey Jr, David Beckham, Gilles Marini, The guys from Glee, Nick Cannon, Adam Lambert, John Cho, Chris Daughtry, Jerry O'Connell and John Legend.

He uses more mascara than any other sexy man about which I am aware.

I do not think Robert Pattinson should have even qualified. My personal vote goes for Bradley Cooper. But, I think Johnny Depp is a legit choice too.

I want Hugh Jackman to be on the list.

Johnny Depp is so deserving of this title... F Rob Pattinson! Although I would have settled for Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal or Robert Downey Jr. LOL
