GAVE YOU THE STORY YESTERDAY ON FB...
(so you should follow at: http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage)
"People" magazine drops its Sexiest Man Alive issue this week. And this year's winner is...RYAN REYNOLDS.

Despite the honor, Ryan doesn't necessarily feel sexy. At 6-foot-2, he says, "My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke. When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper."

Not that he doesn't plan on milking it...not only with his wife SCARLETT JOHANSSON, but with anyone else he can brag to. He says, "Now it's going to be, 'Sexiest man, take out the garbage.' That does sound better.

"The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers."

Last year's top dog, JOHNNY DEPP, was voted Sexiest Man of All Time in a poll on People.com.

And VIN DIESEL was named Sexiest Man Alive on Facebook...in a five-way online poll that also included Enrique Iglesias, Pauly D from "Jersey Shore", Chad Ochocinco and the Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa.

Here are some of the other dudes who made it into the Sexiest Man Alive issue . . .

Jon Hamm
George Clooney
Robert Pattinson
Kellan Lutz
Robert Downey Jr.
Bradley Cooper
Rob Mackenzie
Jake Gyllenhaal
"Glee" star Matthew Morrison
Hugh Jackman
Justin Timberlake
Patrick Dempsey
Joel McHale
Hugh Laurie
Drake






SPEAKING OF DRAKE...
DRAKE was just named one of "GQ" magazine's "Men of the Year," and in the issue, he tells a story about how he was once set up to be robbed...by his DATE.

It happened in the spring of last year, after he'd started his rap career...but BEFORE he'd made it big. He says at the time he, "wasn't even really Drake yet." Oh, and it happened in the GANGSTA nation of Canada.

Anyway, Drake was robbed AT GUNPOINT, while he was still on the date.

He says, "I knew it was a setup, because I had on a sweater and a jacket...but when they banged on the car window with a gun and opened the door, the first thing he said was, 'Yo, run that chain.'

He was asking for a chain that Drake had on him, which LIL WAYNE had recently given him. Wayne, of course, has been Drake's mentor.

He adds, "They didn't rob [my date], and her purse was sitting right there. So I was like, 'OK, yup...you set the whole thing up.'"

Drake ended up losing $4,000 in cash and the chain. By the way, he also said that he expects his next album "Take Care" to drop in the spring.







"THE LAST THING I'M THINKING..."
RIHANNA has explained why she posed for a picture with those kids while wearing an "(Eff) You" necklace. Basically, it sounds like it was just an oversight.

You can peep that pic at http://www.facebook.com/robbiemackpage

She says, "I never tell kids no when it comes to pictures or autographs. The last thing I'm thinking about is my necklace."






SWIFTY SCENTS...
TAYLOR SWIFT doesn't just write about her past relationships...she continues to smell them. For real. She tells "Allure" magazine, "Different smells bring different relationships to mind for me.

"I have always loved how fragrance can shape a memory, the way certain scents remind you of events and people that are imprinted in your thoughts."

But Taylor doesn't just rely on her memory. She says she used to keep a tray of perfume and cologne at her parents' house, so she could wear the scent of the guy she wanted to remember.
Um...creepy, isn't it?! A little bit...

She explains, "I'd put on Abercrombie 8 to remember when I was in ninth grade and had my first boyfriend, because he gave me that."

The downside to Taylor's, uh, quirk, is that certain scents also bring back some bad memories. She says, "Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is still a difficult one for me to smell."

Didn't say why though. Joe? John?







BLACK FRIDAY MOVES EARLIER AND EARLIER...
I don't honestly understand it. Great deals, sure...but I'm still not getting up at 3:30am to fight thousands of people for cheap DVDs. But hey, it's a chance for the girls to get out, let us guys sleep in...eventually get up, scratch ourselves and sit around and watch college football in our boxers all day! Win? WIN!

Anyway, Black Friday is starting earlier than ever this year...fewer and fewer retailers are waiting until 5:00 A.M. on the Friday after Thanksgiving to open their doors.

Wal-Mart has announced it will be starting its Black Friday sale at MIDNIGHT on Thanksgiving night. And they're not alone. Old Navy and The Gap are starting at midnight too.

Last several years, I've seen lines around the building at Best Buy stores!

Toys "R" Us is beating them by two hours...they'll open at 10:00 P.M. on Thanksgiving and start offering their deals.

Sears and Kmart are trying to get the jump on everyone...they'll be opening and offering their best sale offers at 6:00 A.M. on Thanksgiving morning.

For now, Target is still set to open at 4:00 A.M. on Black Friday, Best Buy is set to open at 5:00 A.M.

But there's a major price war going this holiday season, as these stores are desperately competing to grab your gift budget...however small it is in this economy.
So other stores could still respond and push up their Black Friday opening times, too.







People seem cranky today. Cheer up! Gonna be a great Thursday!
