Well, we finally made it.  It was hard work looking at all these hot guys and grading them but somebody had to do it.  No worries, I Smell Smutters, Tanya and I took the bullet for you   So of all these hot guys, who was the creme de la creme?  The big cheese?  The sexiest of the sexy?

Jason Statham.  Mmmmmmmm.  Jason Statham.

Style/Wardrobe: 10

Body: 10

Face: 8.5

Charisma: 10

Sleaze Factor: 0

Lust Factor: 10

Hot Score:  48.25

Yup, Jason is our guy.  The Hottest of the Hot.  And he really really is.  Tanya and I agreed about him across the board.  And even though it is a bit by default win, since Henry Cavill was demoted earlier this week, it feels right doesn’t it?   A full 4.75 points ahead of our #2 guy, Hugh Jackman, he is the clear cut winner.

He has the whole package.  From head to toe the man is perfection.  While he may not be as pretty as Hugh, Jason has that something that we have been searching for.  That something extra that gets us drooling.  That something that we can’t quit put or finger on but makes us think those unspeakable thoughts.  And with his low sleaze score (he sits at a big zero), he rose above the other hot men, like David Beckham, whose sleaze score makes them just slightly unappealing.

So what is it about Jason that we just can’t resist?

For starters, he is so manly.  I mean, this guy could really kick some one’s ass.  Not that I would encourage fighting but couldn’t you just picture him stepping up to someone who had wronged you and throw down in your honor, muscles glistening with sweat and testosterone.  And after that, he would pick you up, throw you over his shoulder and carry you off to the bedroom.

Go a head.  Take a minute and soak that image in.  Nice isn’t it?

And any of you feminist chippies out there who say you wouldn’t like that are lying!  Lying I say!  Because as much as those emo skinny man children seem to be popular right now (Zach Efron, Robert Pattinson), all us women really want a man who will take charge, who we feel safe with, and who could bench press the combined weight of those “men”.

Plus Jason is a total dude.  I mean, which one of you guys out there wouldn’t want to hang out with Jason?  He is a cool guy and he is likable.  He must be!  Because a couple of his movies are fairly questionable yet we all watch them.  And as crappy as they can be, Jason makes them tolerable. Have you seen Death Race?  Without Jason, it would be garbage but with him I actually watched it twice. And while there are a few bad ones, he has been in some good ones too.  Snatch, Crank, The Transporter, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Italian Job, etc.  Really, I will see anything he is in.

So, in the end, Jason Statham is the total package; manly, great dresser, cool, good looking, sexy, in great shape….the list can go on and on.

So congratulations Jason!  You are I Smell Smut’s Hottest Guy.  And to show your gratitude, please feel free to take Tanya and I out on a date or give us massages or intimate things of that nature .  Well, mostly just me.  Forget Tanya.  Yes people, I think we have found the man that Tanya and I would actually fight over

Tanya: I would fight you for Jason Statham. No question about it. Not that I don’t value our friendship, because I do, but I value those muscles, that accent, the twinkle in his eye and that look that says “let’s go get into trouble” even more. No hard feelings though, right?

Bumping Jason up to #1 just felt right. He deserves it. He’s overall just hotter then the other guys when all things are considered. Even Henry Cavill, who is definitely jumpable, doesn’t have the same magnetism. And while Jason is definitely “manly” and could probably kick the ass of anyone else on our list, he’s not “macho” (aka an arrogant douch) about it all. Case in point: while Statham could probably get any lady he wants, we don’t hear anything about him bragging about his conquests or parading various women around town. I dare say he may even respect the ladies. Sigh!

#2 Hugh Jackman

Style/Wardrobe: 9.5

Body: 10

Face: 9

Charisma:  9.5

Sleaze Factor: 0

Lust Factor: 6.5

Hot Score:  44.5

Hugh Jackman.  Seriously.  What is there not to love about Hugh Jackman?  He is pretty much the perfect man.  Like if I could pick a man out from a catalogue, I am fairly certain he would be almost identical to Hugh.  Selling features?

Face?  Gorgeous; near perfect.

Body?  Ummmm, also perfect.

Personality?  Delightful.

Caring father of two?  Yup!

Loving and devoted husband?  Check!

Good to fans?  Double check!

Talented?  Very.

Played a superhero?  Yup, done that too.  And done well, might I add.

In the mail order man world, Hugh is the deluxe model.

So what’s with the lust factor?  Tanya and I both agree that while he is wonderful to look at and drama free he just doesn’t do “it” for us. I mean, he does something, but not the same thing David Beckham does.  And that is not to take away from him at all.  Really, he seems like a wonderful human being and that’s all great and everything but he doesn’t give us the urge to jump in the sack with him.  Much like Aaron Eckhart, I feel the urge to take a moon light stroll, holding hands, and talk about the wonderful day we just had going the market and taking a yoga class.  Not the urge to take a moon lit stroll and jump in the bushes for a quicky like some of our other Hot Guys can cause.

Thankfully, his perfect exterior and squeaky clean image is pretty much flawless so it saved him from the low lust factor to land him as out #2 spot.  Because quite frankly, I love Hugh so much, I wouldn’t be comfortable with him, being any lower.

Tanya: Hugh Jackman is hot. Great body, great face, and a wicked sense of humor. And he nailed his performance of Wolverine/Logan in the X-Men movies. Oh, and he’s a pretty awesome father and husband. And he has no “drama”. He’s pretty much the perfect package. But he is missing that extra something… that thing that makes you think of nothing else but running your hands through his hair. At least he is missing that for me, but I’m sure a LOT of women would disagree!

Stacey: BTW, I spent a lot (A LOT) of time going through Hugh Jackman photos…why you might ask?  Well for 1, he’s gorgeous and 2 there are just so damn many good ones.  Its like asking me to pick my favorite candy; it can’t be done.

# 3 David Beckham
Style/Wardrobe: 9
Body: 9
Face: 8
Charisma:  9.5
Sleaze Factor: 7
Lust Factor: 10
Hot Score:  38.5

A perfect 10 for lust factor. We have finally come to the section of men that we both agree on. And if we can both agree on these guys, they must be hot!

David Beckham’s hotness is one that I frequently use in conversations of relative hotness. Let’s have a fake conversation between me and a dinner guest… I’ll call her Stacey.

Stacey: You know who’s hot? James Franco.

Tanya: Oh, he is hot. But he’s no David Beckham.

*both ladies stop to drool and blush*

And that’s pretty much how it goes. Any mention of David Beckham and the conversation stops and both women start to fantasize about him.

So what is it that makes Becks soooo freekin’ hot? Well, he’s got great style and a super hot body (and isn’t too bad in the face either!) which helped him score well, but I think the big one for Becks is his charisma. He’s got something about him that just oozes “sex”. I’ve come to believe that the very image of the man triggers some kind of hormonal reaction in our brains. If Aaron Eckhart is your neighbour he’ll help you carry your groceries. If David Beckham is your neighbour he’ll probably put the moves on you in the elevator and succeed. He’d hit up all the ladies in the apartment and you’d all still blush about it.

Ladies world wide would drop their panties for David Beckham if given the chance, and the thing about David Beckham is… well… from what we hear about him he might not turn down the opportunity. I’m not sure if the fact that the fantasy might come true makes it hotter or not, but it makes Becks a bit of a sleaze ball in our book and brings down his overall hot score to land him at 3^rd on the I Smell Smut Hottest Guys list.

Stacey: Seriously, Becks is so hot.  SO hot.  I can actually smell his pheromones when I look at a picture of him.  And, quite honestly, it smells like sex.  I’m not sure what exactly it is.  Maybe how well he wears clothes, ANY clothes, or no clothes at all, or how fantastic he looks in underwear, or the fact that he is super rich, or that he appears to be a loving father with three beautiful boys, I don’t know.  But whatever it is, I want it.  Bad.  In fact, I don’t think I have ever come across any woman that does not find him irresistible.  And while his sleaze factor is a little high, let’s be honest, which one of us could turn down Becks even though he is married?  I know I couldn’t.  And if you say you could, you are lying.  Because Becks is so hot it is a little unfair….*fewf*…is it hot in here or is it just me?

# 4 Daniel Craig
Style/Wardrobe: 9
Body: 9
Face: 7
Charisma:  8
Sleaze Factor: 2
Lust Factor: 6.75
Hot Score:  37.75

Daniel Craig. Even with the moustache, he brings the hot. Remember that scene in James Bond when he comes out of the water all wet and glistening in his tiny (and yet manly) shorts? So hot. He’s got the English accent, he’s a wonderful dresser (most of the time, let’s not forget ‘70s Gay Biker Chic), and he’s got a beautiful non-famous wife who he appears to adore. Swoon!

What more can I say? Not much. Just enjoy the photos.

Stacey: Another man that you and I will never agree on.  Yes, so sexy, and his style (minus the gay biker chic) kills me.  But honestly, he reminds me so much of one of my really good friends that the sex appeal is all but dead for me.  Don’t get me wrong, though, I totally appreciate his hotness and can see why you lust after him.  And for the record, the part in James Bond that you mentioned, one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

# 5 Gabriel Aubry
Style/Wardrobe: 9
Body: 10
Face: 10
Charisma:  5.5
Sleaze Factor: 0
Lust Factor: 5.5
Hot Score:  40

If you’re paying close attention to our Hot Score you’ll notice that Gabriel Aubrey scored 40, which is 4.5 points higher than Bradley Cooper. This is a really big jump if you take a look at our last 5 hot men who are all within 1 Hot Point of each other. Let me tell you why:

Tanya: We should have Gabriel Aubrey on the list.

Stacey: But he’s not even famous.

He’s a model, dating Halle Berry and we post about him on the blog.

He’s not really that famous. If we put him on we’ll have to put everybody on.

No we won’t. Not many people are as hot him.

I don’t think he should make the list.

I don’t think we should be friends anymore.

So after I threatened excommunication of friendship, Stacey caved and let him go on the list. And clearly, we agree on his hotness. Perfect 10′s for his face and body, he’s got an amazing sense of style, and a sleaze factor of 0. Gabriel is a doting father, a devoted partner, and doesn’t seem to ever step out of line. Gabriel made the list and scored quite well. So well that he’s technically our #4 hottest man, but as a concession to Stacey I let her use her editorial discretion to bump him down a few spots due to his unfamousness. (update: Because Henry Cavill forgot how to be hot Gabriel Aubry has snuck his way into the top 5 again, and is technically now #3. Had we more time and people left we’d have moved him back down but we don’t so he stays)

Stacey: Sorry Tanya, he is just not famous enough to rank over out Top 5 hottest guys.  I never disputed his looks, body, or face, but being Halle Barry’s baby daddy does not equate to fame.  I would love to see him around more, and if he were to step outside the realm of model that would be great.  But until then, his charisma and lust factor are staying as is.  I just have nothing to base it on!

Today you will not get a Hottest Guy post. Blame it on Henry Cavill. Blame it on his hair, his awful suit, and those shoes. Please check out the thumbnail below that shows the shoes to see what I mean. They might actually be worse than the hair. (scratch that, the hair is worse. Brushed out curls? No thanks.)

The whole reason we started the Hottest Guys list was because we were disappointed with People Magazine for leaving out some key hotties – like Henry Cavill. So we made sure to include him. And he did well. Very well. Henry Cavill was 6 days away from being our #1 hottest guy.

And then I got an email from Stacey with the subject “Have we made a mistake?” and a link to these photos. I think we DID make a mistake. This is so awful that it automatically disqualifies Henry from #1. Actually, from the whole list. I would feel bad putting any of our hot men on a rank lower than this. Henry has gone from #1 to an honorable mention – and it’s only a mention because of how AWFUL it is!! WHY HENRY WHY??

He looks like a cross between Nicolas Cage & Orlando Bloom. Or Hayden Christensen. Or like a guy that has a weekend gig playing a pirate in Vegas. And not at a classy joint on the strip either. Hey, for all I know that’s what Nicolas Cage is doing to make ends meet since he ran out of money.

So instead of a hot guy today, you get Nicolas Bloom the Weekend Pirate. A little harsh, yes, but I’m incredibly dissapointed that he effed up our list – and killed his hotness! I’ve included some pictures of Henry Cavill not fighting the hot (don’t fight it Henry! Embrace it!) so you can remember why we had him on the list to begin with. Hot men will be back tomorrow.

Stacey: There are no words to describe the deep sorrow that I feel for the loss of Henry Cavill.  I was so proud of our list. So so proud.  We had the perfect mixture of the main stream guys and the odd choices and was especially proud that our #1 hottest guy wasn’t your typical pick.  Henry was our guy.  But those pictures.  And that hair!  *shudder*  Honestly, I had to look twice to make sure they didn’t just tag it wrong.  I could not believe that was our Henry.  But, alas, it really was him.  Our beautiful Henry.  Looking like some terrible 80′s gigolo.  I am just hoping it is for a movie role or something because I am having a hard time believing that he is choosing to look like this for no other reason than thinking it looks good.

It was a hard decision to make, but I think we made the right one in disqualify him.  But really, he disqualified himself.  There is just really no excuse for that…that….whatever the heck that is.  I have shed my tear and we must sally forth!  Fear not, ISS readers.  There are still 5 more hot guys to come.

And Henry, please please rethink what you have allowed to grow on your head.  And do it soon.  Because next year I will be rooting for you to be on our list. And it is going to take an entire year of unquestionable hotness to erase that travesty from our minds.

Stacey: I’ve added some of my fav pics of Henry to remind myself that he is hot.

# 7 Bradley Cooper:

Style/Wardrobe: 7.5

Body: 8.5

Face: 8.5

Charisma:  7

Sleaze Factor: 3.5

Lust Factor: 7.5

Hot Score:  35.5

Ok people, we have something to admit.  When first doing this list, Bradley Cooper wasn’t on this list; not even discussed.  Then I saw The Hangover with my husband and the whole time I am thinking “goodness gracious Bradley Cooper is hot.  I can’t remember where he ranked on our list”.  And then it hit me.  He wasn’t on the list.  How on earth could we forget Bradley Cooper?  It was a travesty.  SO, now after being added, he rests nicely at the #7 spot.

Coops, as I like to call him, is the total hotness right now.  And might I say he has the most amazing hair.  Like run your hands through it and grab it kind of amazing.  Plus he has, like, the perfect body; tall, muscular but not too muscular, broad shoulders, great ass.  While watching The Hangover all I could think was how perfectly his clothes fit him and how delicious he looked.

And he is so funny.  My hubby and I just rented the 5^th Season of Nip/Tuck, which he is in and he is hilarious.  And he is in the two highest grossing R rated comedies ever, The Wedding Crashers and The Hangover. Funny + gorgeous = irresistible.  And even when he is not playing funny, like He’s Just Not That Into You, he is still awesome to watch because he is just so damn good looking.  He played a total ass in that movie and I still wanted him.

So what’s Coops down side?  Well, for starters, he’s dating Renee Zellweger.  Out of all the women in the world he could have he picks her?  Not to be mean or anything but that makes me question his taste, and thus, who he is as a person.  Also, normally, he is dressed quite well, but every once in while he dresses like he doesn’t have a mirror.  And I am sorry, but to be the hottest of the hot you need to be impeccably dressed at all times.

Overall, Bradley has so much going for him.  Great face, great body, tall, funny, but we are getting to the nitty gritty here and needed to be fairly cut throat when grading.  Bradley is up there but he isn’t playing with the big boys yet.  Maybe with a few more movies under his belt and a better girlfriend, he might rank higher on our list.

Tanya: I think you pretty much covered everything J Hot body, hot face, nice ass, great personality, but he’s hit and miss with his style and puh-lease, Renee Zellweger?? Seriously? I just don’t buy it. When they first started dating I thought he might be getting paid to do it, but now… I know that he wouldn’t get bankrolled this long with nothing to promote… but it still seems weird. Well, good for you Renee, you’ve bagged a hottie. But can you imagine how much Coops’ profile would be lifted if he dated say… Natalie Portman or one of the other hot young (but not too young) actresses?

 Stacey: PS.  Upon scowering literally hundreds of photos in search of the perfect ones for this post I have discovered that Bradley does not photgraph as well as one would expect from I Smell Smut’s Hot Guy #7.  He is just one of those guys that is way hotter in action.  So as a favor to ISS for crowning Bradley #7 he in turn is going to have to do more movies so we have more to drool over.  Deal?

# 8 James Franco

Style/Wardrobe: 7

Body: 8.75

Face: 8

Charisma:  9

Sleaze Factor: 2.5

Lust Factor: 5

Hot Score:  35.3

One thing we have mentioned a few times before is that Tanya and I have been friends for a long time. One of the main reasons this has happened is that we have never been interested in the same guy.  Ever.  Sure we find some of the same guys attractive but very rarely does the same guy get us both hot under the collars, if you know what I mean.  Some guys, we were in total agreement and with other guys we couldn’t disagree more. 

Take James Franco for example.  I LOVE James Franco.  In fact, he is currently on my Freebie Five list.  The only other guys on this list who rank higher than him for Lust Factor are also on my Freebie Five.  In other words, James Franco, in my opinion, is the bee’s knees.  I gave him an 8 for lust.  Tanya, on the other hand, graded him at a 2.  2!  Colin Farrell I could forgive, but James Franco?  I am drawing the line in the sand.

How could you not lust after him?  He is delicious.  He’s talented (have you seen Milk?), educated (has an undergraduate degree in English from UCLA), funny, (Pineapple Express), doesn’t take himself too seriously (he is doing a stint on General Hospital), and he is gorgeous (dark eyes, pouty lips). 

And he is just so amazing to watch on screen.  There is just something about him that is so sexy and earnest.  *sigh*

When I first fell in love with him was on Freaks and Geeks.  One of the best shows ever but unfortunately it was cancelled after one season.  He plaid the tortured hot bad boy.  Come people, which one of us wasn’t in love with that guy? 

James, I wish you were higher, but Hottest Guy #8 is pretty decent.  If it’s any consolation, if it were just me doing this list, you would be higher.

T: James Franco seems like a really awesome guy and he is deservedly WAY higher on the list than Colin Ferile  Farrell. James is attractive, no doubt about that. But I just don’t feel the lust. Hot body, great face, tons of charisma but I’d rather just curl up and read a book with him. We can listen to Led Zeppelin, watch some Super Troopers, talk about the underlying themes of To Kill a Mockingbird, but at the end of the day I still have my pants on.

# 9 Aaron Eckhart

Style/Wardrobe: 7.75

Body: 8

Face: 8.75

Charisma: 7.25

Sleaze Factor: 1

Lust Factor: 4.5

Hot Score:  35.3

*sigh* Aaron Eckhart is ever so dreamy.  Seriously, look at this guy.  Dashing good looks, strong jaw line, tall, handsome …*sigh* .  I am pretty sure that he is actually Prince Charming.  Couldn’t you see him riding up on his white horse, sweeping you off your feet and carrying you into the sunset?

………..*swoon*……….

Wow.  I’m sorry.  I was day dreaming a little there.  Aaron is someone I think that often gets overlooked on Hottest Guys lists.  Why?  Maybe because he isn’t super high profile.  Maybe because he hasn’t had a big, celeb girlfriend.  Whatever the reason, Tanya and I have recognized his hotness and rewarded him with #9 on our list.

Tanya and I agreed on Aaron across the board.  The one area of concern on Aaron’s grading was his lust factor.  He just doesn’t make us crazy like some of the other guys on this list.  I don’t look at him and think “oh gawd, the things I would do to him”.  Rather, I look at him and think “I would love to take a long moon lit stroll on the beach with him”.  Which is all fine and dandy, but this list isn’t I Smell Smut’s Guys We’d Like to Cuddle with list.  No, this is the hottest guys list.  And to be at the top of the heap, you need to bring the quiveration.

Luckily though, he was Harvey Dent/Two Face in Batman which automatically makes him hot by association.  Couple that with his great looks and that really saved his ass.  Oh!  I almost forgot his nice ass.  Fewf.  That was a close one!

Tanya: Aaron Eckhart looks like a superhero. Like he might actually be Captain America in disguise. Aaron Eckhart is the kinda guy I’d like to have as a neighbour – to run into on the elevator, to carry my groceries, to “casually” run into with friends to show him off. lol, he’s “the guy next door”.

# 10 Kellan Lutz
Style/Wardrobe: 8
Body: 10
Face: 7.75
Charisma: 7
Sleaze Factor: 5.5
Lust Factor: 7.5
Hot Score:  34.75

Kellan Lutz has a hot, hot body. Stacey & I agree on this (notice the perfect 10 score) and really how could you not? I recall there was a post where he was wearing Hammer Pants and I didn’t even notice because I was distracted by those abs. Kellan was also one of the best actors in the Twilight movies and I was honestly disappointed when he only had 2 scenes in New Moon. I read the books & knew that the vampires were gone for most of it, but I was really hoping they’d find a way for more Lutz.

We don’t have any confirmed Lutz sleaziness, just rumours of an on-and-off romance with AnnaLynne McCord and there was some gossip about him and Lindsay Lohan. Lohan rumours definitely up the sleaze factor, even if they’re not true.

Another Kellan bonus: I hear he’s a good kisser!

Stacey: Good kisser, eh?  I may need to test that rumour out for myself.  Kellan is hawt. And funny.  Tanya posted a video of him doing a reading as Edward from New Moon.  Hysterical.  And I just want to bit his bottom lip.  Yes, we need more Kellan.
