Dear Gossips,

Tomorrow morning, PEOPLE Magazine will unveil this year’s Sexiest Man Alive. It’s been an annual tradition too at LaineyGossip.com to handicap the top candidates and predict the winner. Don’t forget, it’s a PREDICTION. It is NOT a preference.

I’ve narrowed it down to the final four and I’m still writing. And it’s 5am PT and I still haven’t decided. It’s the most difficult year so far.

PLEASE NOTE: the Sexiest Man Alive analysis will work in reverse order. So the introduction to the piece and the longshots will be posted first and will appear lower down on the page. My prediction will come LAST, and show up at the top of the page later on this morning. For quick reference to all the Sexiest Man Alive 2011 articles, click here.

Thoughts? Let me know!

Regular gossip is also on the sched today once we get past the SMA.

It’s a full, full column so keep scrolling down, and refresh often!

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
