    People Magazine's annual quest for the Sexiest Man Alive will come to an end Wednesday when the winner is announced. This year, the editors are taking a lighter approach, launching "funny is the new sexy" campaign which will likely lead to a more unconventionally attractive winner. After 26 years, they've learned a valuable lesson. Brooding five o' clock shadows and bright, blue wild man eyes don't always make for the ideal guy.

    See People's very first SMA choice for proof. At least twice a year the magazine doles out praise in the form of "sexiest" and "most beautiful" lists. It's only logical that a few of those list-makers let it get to their head. Here are some of the more regrettable hunks honored by the magazine, long before their rap sheets and tabloid scandals. Hey, everybody makes bad choices sometimes. But if People Magazine ever wants to set you up with a really great guy, do a background check first.

    Mel Gibson: Sexiest Man Alive, 1985
    The very first SMA ever chosen, he was still Mad Max and not Mad Mel when he was bestowed the title. Over two decades later he's still making Hollywood headlines but for not-so-sexy things like racist, anti-Semitic tirades and tape-recorded threats to the mother of his child.

    John Edwards: Sexiest Politician, 2000
    Chosen for his "clean-cut boyish charm," Edwards was still a political hopeful and a family man when the magazine's turn of the century sexy list debuted. Posing for his mug-shot, in preparation for his fraud trial, his boyish charm was the only thing hard to spot under those precinct lights.
