Breaking news: woman thinks Bono is sexy

In USA Today’s “Pop Candy” column, Whitney Matheson lists men she thinks ought to be named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive.” (Warning to sensitive readers: the column contains some mild Jude Law bashing.) Our pal Bono is Whitney’s number one pick:

1. Bono. He sings! He unites! He wears leather pants! In my mind, People’s pick should be a no-brainer this year-and the fact the mag has never named a rock star the sexiest man alive makes it all the more reason why his time has come.

…Not that I spend my break time at work reading this kind of stuff.

    OF COURSE bono is #1! he’s so… ubersexual! lol. And no bias here! ;) Not as great as a Nobel mind you but that’d be sweet!

    The others listed, esp. Gyllenhaal, Murray and Kanye (????) wouldn’t make it onto my list and Viggo would be a whole lot higher! And there could be a few more musicians there too. But to each their own…

    ha ha. love your headline.
    someone emailed me that story yesterday and reminded me that whitney matheson has written of her bono fandom before. i believe she once wrote an artice in usa today that included her thoughts on bono’s manly smell.

    Thank you, C. The headline was my primary reason for posting this li’l piece of fluff.

    Lots of people, especially men, just don’t *get* why I think Bono is bloody sexy - yeah yeah Brad and Clooney are sexy in an obvious way but gimme Bono any day! BONO FOR SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!
