Get lost, Hugh Jackman. This year's "Sexiest Man Alive" is once again Johnny Depp.
Depp nudged aside Jackman to get the coveted endorsement from People magazine Wednesday. It's the 46-year-old actor's second time as "Sexiest Man Alive." He also won in 2003.
Kate Coyne, senior editor at People, said on CBS' "Early Show" that Depp has achieved an almost "iconic status in terms of sexiness."
Matt Bomer, who stars in USA's "White Collar," was named "Sexiest Rising Star."
Cheech, Chong to 'Get It Legal' in Tampa
Cheech and Chong bring stoner humor to the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts on March 12.
The duo played to a sold-out crowd at the same venue, formerly the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, in 2008 on their reunion tour.
The upcoming tour is titled "Get It Legal," a reference to the comedians' support for the legalization of marijuana.
Tickets, $38.50 and $48.50, plus service charges, go on sale at 4:20 p.m. Friday. The center's box office is at 1010 N. MacInnes Place in Tampa. Call (813) 229-7827.
