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.

31. With Taylor Hicks on the cover I had to buy the issue - read it from cover to cover I thought - now i find out that there were other men in the issue - fancy that. I thought there was only one. Well, there was only one worth reading about. Taylor Hicks! He really has IT! Glad that he caught up with his Dream! He deserved it! He is bringing a lot of our dreams to life too.

34. I am offended that Taylor Hicks usedthe logo, "Soul Patrol." I am from Alabama, and I have yet to see soul brothers or sister at any of his functions, especially at LULUs. I also obseved that the songs he sung on idol were written by African-Americans. Whenever he performed down south, he sung country music. I am curious to see how far he actually goes with this type of PR. Down south, we are keeping our eyes on you. We are waiting to see raw talent. Shiloh Sing

35. I think every one is wrong Taylor Hicks is hott but Orlando Bloom is the HOTTEST guy ever. Chris Daughtry and Elliot Yamin are the UGLIEST guys in the world and yes, I do think Chris can sing.

37. Really tired of the "if he's 29" statements...Lord, it isn't that hard to verify and it has been. GEEZ...GET OVER IT. Some people just go gray early. And on him, believe me, it is GORGEOUS. Even his friends will tell you that when he would go out with them, women flocked to him. He isn't a pretty boy like Matthew McC or Ace Young. He is masculine and sweet...and very very very sexy...and I would not kick him out of my bed. Hell, I wouldn't even let him OUT of the bed if I ever got him there!

43. Taylor is okay, but I much prefer Elliott Yamin. Nick Lachey is okay too, but I really, really like his brother, Drew Lachey, even more. Now there is a hunk. Another one that makes my heart go pitter-pat is Bucky Covington. I love his smile and mellow disposition. I don't see anything special at all about Matthew McConaughey though. His looks ae average and he strikes me as being self-absorbed and superficial.

44. Enough about the "grey fox"
The hands down "idol" winner was Katherine McPhee
Enough of this southern gentleman junk
Does anyone else aghree with me ?

45. I don't know about some of you - but I'm a little tired of hearing about the "silver fox" southern gentleman

He's just another gyrating singer and should have probably been SECOND
Miss K McPhee was hands down winner.
