Hicks Tops People's `Hottest Bachelors' List

NEW YORK (AP) -- "American Idol" Taylor Hicks is ranked as the No. 1 "hottest bachelor" by People magazine -- and he's looking for love.

The 29-year-old silver-haired crooner tops People's list in the magazine's new issue, on newsstands Friday. But the "Idol" winner says he'd happily give up his bachelor days.

"There's been no time," Hicks says of his dating life. "Now,I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with the right woman."
 
Hicks also wants to find a woman he exchanged glances with on a recent airline flight. Of the mystery blonde, he says, "We waved and did a double-take look. It seemed like something out of a movie."

The magazine has set up e-mail and mailing addresses for the mystery woman to contact Hicks. The singer will also perform the song "Possibilities" in a new commercial for the Ford Motor Co., it was announced Wednesday.

Other "hot" bachelors -- who aren't ranked by the magazine -- are several celebrities no longer involved in high-profile romances, including Matthew McConaughey (ex-boyfriend of Penelope Cruz), Nick Lachey (formerly married to Jessica Simpson), Jake Gyllenhaal (who dated Kirsten Dunst) and Kenny Chesney (briefly married to Renee Zellweger). The list also includes Ryan Seacrest, Jamie Foxx, Owen Wilson and Wentworth Miller.

16. Taylor is a fun-loving, silver-haired #1 American Idol's choice!! He was chosen by popular vote, and that is what the show is all about.

Chris, too, for whatever reason, should have been at least runner-up, but again, the votes were not there!! Unless there is room for dishonesty in the show, then we all should be happy with the majority ruling, as it should always be in America!

Taylor is a showman, entertainer, has lots of energy and I wish him all the best. Hope that gal that caught his eye, will at least give him a second look!!

Keep us in tune now to what the next episode will bring!!

Best of luck Taylor, you won and should be very proud of all your accomplishments!! We love you!!

18. Now for once I can agree with these silly lists!
Just the same, I see I can stop reading after I read the
first name.
Only this time it makes sense.

Good for Taylor, good for us Soul Patrollers who like to see Taylor's name and picture anywhere, anytime, not to mention love to hear the beautiful music Taylor composed and released on his Under the Radar CD and the many other songs such as "Somehow".

Thanks PM!

22. How refreshing to see a truly nice guy make the "A" list for once! There were several from the "Idols" competition... Chris, of course is already married, but what a great talent and personality! I am always happy to see someone as genuine, talented and deserving as Taylor have his day in the sun, too. It's not just about bein' hot~ Taylor, good on ya, Mate!

23. I can't believe it! Taylor Hicks is the UGLIEST man alive, and he STINKS at singing! I couldn't believe he won American Idol, which I will never watch again, and now this. UNBELIEVABLE! I think the people who voted for American Idol were tone deaf and I think whoever is in charge of picking the top bachelors is blind!

27. Okay, he's seems nice enough but HOTTEST?? Not even. And, gimme a break on the mystery blonde thing....why didn't he (or one of his entourage) just get her name? That's weird!! The only reason he is on the cover is because People wants a piece of the American Idol pie. He's the latest craze....enjoy your 15 minutes Taylor.

28. I think it's great that Taylor was chosen - he IS kind of handsome. :) How amazing that he won the title. Can't wait for his album. Go Taylor!

29. I think Taylor is a beautiful man, inside and out. If you don't like him deal with it. Apparently alot more people like him than not, I mean come on he did win didn't he. You get one good look into those eyes of his, (I swear you can see straight into that man's heart and soul), And his smile, (lord help me). He deserves to be on the cover! As for the Hillbilly Heaven comment, you really must get out more, he is far from Hillbilly, the Heaven part I'll take. You go Taylor!!!

30. Hottest bachelor???? There are many who are so much more deserving of that title! As for the whole American Idol win, we can only hope he disappears as fast as the last few have!! The whole soul patrol thing is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard for a man who is almost 30 years old! And seeing pictures of his constipated dance moves almost scared me to death! Enough American Idol! It has clearly run its course as people are no longer voted on because of their talent! Personally I think it comes down to just proving Simon wrong! Look at the final three!
