People magazine names Blake Shelton 'sexiest man alive'

LOS ANGELES -- Country crooner Blake Shelton -- also known for his role as a judge on TV's "The Voice" -- is this year's "sexiest man alive," People Magazine announced Tuesday.

Shelton, 41, is the boyfriend of rocker Gwen Stefani, who may have already come to this conclusion.

"She goes, ‘Listen to me, you’re going to regret this for the rest of your life if you don’t take this gift and just live in the moment,'" Shelton told the magazine.

The lanky Oklahoma native, who has a passion for eating and a chubby past, laughed that he has finally come into his own.

"It’s going to be used in every conversation, whether it’s at 'The Voice', or at the feed in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, or in a conversation with a doctor," he said.

"You’re damn right, I’m Mr. Sexy! I’ve been ugly my whole life, if I can be sexy for a year, I’m taking it. I’m taking it.”

The title is yet another thing he shares with "Voice" co-star Adam Levine of Maroon 5, now a close friend.

"I can’t wait to shove this up Adam’s ass," Shelton adds. "As proud as I am and honored that you guys asked me, that’s really the only thing I care about."

Is Pia Wurtzbach dating 'sexiest doctor alive?'

Clearly in a playful mood, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurztbach did not give a direct answer when she was asked if she is dating "Sexiest Doctor Alive" Mikhail Varshavski during a Facebook Q&A session hosted by American TV show "Extra."

The 26-year-old Wurtzbach, who earlier denied that there is a "specific someone in her life" at the moment, said that she will reveal her relationship status at the right time. "Sa tamang panahon," she teased.

Rumors about the Filipina dating Varshavski, who was featured in People magazine's 2015 "Sexiest Man Alive" issue, began swirling when the two met in New York last month. They were also spotted hitting a boxing gym together, as well sharing a few videos on Snapchat.

Varshavski, described as the "the real life McDreamy," is a Russian-born doctor working at the Overlook Medical Center in New Jersey. Known as Dr. Mike for short, the 26-year-old has more than one million followers on Instagram.

In an interview with the Huffington Post back in January, Varshavski admitted that he is "actively looking for a serious relationship and surprisingly this fame has not made it simpler to find a compatible partner."

Around the same time, Wurtzbach described her "ideal man" as someone who is smart and has a good sense of humor. "Those are the two qualities that are important to me," she said.

Other men who have been linked to Wurtzbach since she won the Miss Universe crown last December include ABS-CBN reporter Atom Araullo and Hollywood actor James Franco.

Wurtzbach, however, has repeatedly maintained that her focus remains to be on her duties as the reigning Miss Universe and on her advocacy of raising awareness on HIV.

David Beckham named People's 'Sexiest Man Alive'

LOS ANGELES - Retired English soccer star David Beckham, an international celebrity both on and off the field, was named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," on Tuesday.

"It's a huge honor," Beckham, 40, told People of being handed the title on its 30th anniversary. "I'm very pleased to accept."

The soccer legend and husband of pop star and fashion designer Victoria Beckham has long been known for his chiseled good looks.

He has been featured in advertisements for Pepsi, Adidas, and modeled underwear for Giorgio Armani, but the sportsman and father of four told People he has never thought of himself as "an attractive, sexy person."

"I mean I like to wear nice clothes and nice suits and look and feel good, but I don't ever think of myself that way," he said.

Beckham's wife, Victoria, 41, was supportive of his new title, he said.

"I would hope that she feels this way about me all the time anyway," he told People.

Adam Levine named People's sexiest man alive

NEW YORK -- Singer Adam Levine, the frontman of the Grammy Award-winning rock group Maroon 5 and a judge on the hit NBC singing show "The Voice," was named People magazine's sexiest man alive, the magazine announced on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old singer-songwriter, who is engaged to Victoria's Secrets model Behati Prinsloo, told People magazine he was taken aback by the announcement.

"As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table," Levine said.

"I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool."

Levine joins an illustrious list of prior winners of the award including Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, George Clooney and Matt Damon.

The singer branched into acting last year with his debut role on the television series "American Horror Story." He also appears in the 2013 film "Can A Song Save Your Life?" with Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

"This is just a really interesting time where everything seems to be heading in a certain direction," he said. "And I'm not taking any of it for granted."

Levine and Maroon 5 launched their fourth studio album "Overexposed" last year, which received mixed reviews from critics. The group shot to fame in 2002 with their debut album, "Songs About Jane."

The group's hit singles include "This Love," "She Will be Loved" and "Moves Like Jagger," which features Christina Aguilera.
