Dear Gossips,

On Monday I wrote about PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2014 and was considering scrapping my annual SMA handicap feature this year because, at the time, it was so obvious to be me that it would either be Matthew McConaughey or Chris Pratt. Click here for a refresher. Thank you for your emails weighing in on whether or not to do it. We’ll do it today, even though you pretty much know who my prediction will be… although I do have someone else in mind who could take it from Pratt. Read on!

But first…

Yesterday’s blog was heavy so it spilled onto two pages. If you haven’t caught up, please scroll down and click VIEW OLDER. Today’s blog will be heavy as well with the SMA articles coming later. I’m guessing it’ll be a 20 post day so please keep refreshing.

Also…

Jacek and I have been working from the Dominican Republic this week to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. We leave tomorrow and I’d like to take much of the day off. So I’ve pre-written most of the articles overnight to roll out through the morning and early afternoon. Duana and Sarah are writing too. But if anything major breaks though – and by major, I mean A List real celebrities and not Kanye West’s wife – I’ll be on it right away. Thanks in advance for understanding.

Have a great weekend!

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
