People's Sexiest Man Alive is...

Robert Pattinson.

The sparkly vampire clearly does it for the world's women, but we think without Edward Cullen, R-Patz would just be a no-name brand indie actor picking up roles playing strung out, has-been musicians hooked on crack. He's just got that look.

There's no denying that Edward Cullen's pale skin and red eyes are instant panty-droppers, but Robert's got nothing on his character. And he knows it. In an interview with the American magazine he says, "I have to look like the poster at all times". Damn straight - that's the way we like you.

Robert Pattinson steals the throne from last year's winner, Hugh Jackman. Who's hotter - Edward Cullen or Wolverine?

If neither characters or actors do it for you, tell us who you think this year's sexiest man is.
