Dear Gossips,

The Washington Post predicted yesterday that PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive would be Neil Patrick Harris. Click here to read why I didn’t think NPH had a chance. As you know, I was predicting Chris Pratt. Still, the possibility of NPH was exciting. Would the MiniVan Majority actually accept its first gay SMA?

No.

And not Chris Pratt either.

As you’ve probably heard by now, it’s Chris Hemsworth which…kinda came out of nowhere. He’s not a gross douchebag though, so there’s that. Chris Hemsworth is infinitely more palatable than Adam Levine, 100%. But, also, the selection of Hemsworth might be infinitely more gossipy as well. Does it feel, a little, like the year Bradley Cooper took the title? Analysis coming.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
