西部落：2006全美钻石王老五排行榜

Who says all the good guys are taken? Well according to People Magazine, they are not the upcoming issue features, it's a list of this year's hottest bachelors and Galena Espinoza is a senior editor of People Magazine, Galina, good morning!

Good morning!

You chose your cover, Taylor Hicks. Now some people might say he's the most popular choice. Is he the hottest choice? Galina.

We think so. I mean this is a guy who's really in the right place at the right time. He's a fresh face. Everyone's been buzzing¹ about him for months, given his amazing run at American Idol², and he is available.

Very available, and that you've actually interviewed one of his old girlfriends who talks about what was like to date him.

Yeah, and he is really a great guy. He is down-to-earth. A lot of people thought he may have come across a little cheesy on the show, a little bit like a goofy wedding singer, but in person he is actually a very serious guy. He is down-to-earth. He drinks Budweiser. He's never paid more than 40 dollars for a haircut. This is a real guy. You could actually walk into a bar and meet a guy like that.

This is that we met him here just a few days ago. He seemed to give that impression as well(Yeah).Um so, you , you also have a category, you don't count to call it a category, but I'd call it a category. If guys went out newly⁴ available, er,they are Matt McConaughey.

Who just broke up with Penelope Cruz, (Nick Lachey) of course Nick Lacheyis back on the block, (Kenny Chesney) looking very vulnerable⁵, Kenny Chesney, his marriage to Rene Zellweger didn't work out, but he says he still believes in love and people love to get married again.

So what don't we know about these guys?

These guys are a lot more interesting than you might think. Nick Lachey, for example, you know, he is a superstar. He sells records. He says it's more important to him to have kids than to sell a million records, who loves being an uncle. His brother Drew just had a baby a couple of months ago, and that's the thing that he wants most in his life at this point.

You also have on your list Allan Wilson who is so incredibly funny, Jamie Fox, and Jake Gyllenhaal, those last two especially incredibly good actors.

Good actors and very sensitive types. Jake Gyllenhaal loves to cook and he's another guy who can't wait to be a dad. He wants at least 4 kids!

Really?

Yeah!

Ha, ok, good to know for somebody out there. Ok, Wentworth Miller⁶. He's kinda a breakout guy. I mean I~I find him to be a fascinating young actor (and what's..) he was in this movie, in this TV show (in Prison Break, which is one of the breakout success stories from the past. (Very good-looking, very talented). and not only that, he's got brain. He graduated from Princeton.

Er, ok, all right. He is a young man, what, 30 something years old.

Yeah, he is young, tall, dark, and handsome.

Oh, ok, you also have look alike⁷, you got the sort of, wow I can't believe...when did you get this idea? Will you have people who look like, people who a lot women wish they could date,for example, er, instead of going after Brad Pitt, who is actually taken now(yeah), you suggest Chris Pine?

Chris Pine, who starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in the movie Just My Luck. The movie didn't do so well but keep your eye on this guy because just like Brat⁸ Pitt, he's got the,er,great piercing⁹ eyes and this eerie¹⁰ mystery about him that we think it's gonna make him a big star.

Tom Cruise¹¹ is taken but Brandon Routh?

Routh, yes, he is starring in the upcoming Superman movie and unlike Tom Cruise, he is actually pretty tall. He is 6 foot 3!

OK, that was kind of a little bit out of date, but ok Johnny Depp isn't, because he's taken, you've got Kevin Zegers?

Zegers, he was in Transamerica, he played Felicity Huffman, as Felicity Huffman's son, and you wanna talk about versatility¹². Everyone know he says that Johnny Depp can play anything, well this guy, went to playing a hustler in Transamerica from the Air Bud³ movies in which he co-starred with the golden retriever.

Now comes my favorite part of the magazine. Did you actually talk about people who are not celebrities¹³, who are every-day guys who actually we can meet?

Real men, yes, (real men), they are out there.

And this guy named Josh Miller Montash (right) and actually he is a member of, he's a rescue swimmer. (Yeah), with the coast guard in San Diego and actually the..when you titled this part of the magazine, er you rescue me ,

Yes. I mean, 'cause work at this sector¹⁴, that a guy who's strong and brave and Josh Miller Montash is someone, who is actually, he goes down in a helicopter in those water rescues, and he told us this is a great story of rescuing a premature¹⁵ baby who'd been born on a cruise ship in Mexico, and he brought her back to San Diego by a helicopter which was working on her the whole way back and she survived.

How do you find this guy? I mean WOW

Yeah, there are amazing guys. Everyway you look, all parts of the country and they're all in this issue.

And you have actually,er,not put in a lot of the men here on the today show. I, I actually have a.. But there are a lot of guys available here behind the scenes.
