Apparently so, according to People magazine. Surely I cannot be the only one who has noticed this. Save for one (Denzel Washington), there has never been a man of color on the cover of the annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue. Seriously? You mean Nick Nolte actually once "graced" the cover of People as the "Sexiest Man Alive" and the likes of Benjamin Bratt, Taye Diggs, Blair Underwood, Boris Kodjoe, Will Smith, Jesse L. Martin (Law & Order), Terrence Howard, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Edris Elba, Eddie Murphy, Welsley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), Tyson Beckford, Rodrigo Santoro (The 300), Esai Morales, Oscar De La Hoya, um, President-elect Barack Obama, somehow don't measure up? Seriously? Isn't the adage or standard of masculine beauty "talk, dark and handsome?" So can someone please explain to me why People magazine religiously voids that on their cover, every single year?

Yet another photo of a celeb and his family at the Pumpkin Patch. I think we're going to need to set up an entirely separate Pumpkin blog! Here's Benjamin Bratt, 44, and wife Talisa with kids Sophia, 5, and Mateo, 3, in Beverly Hills Sunday.
