Apparently, you're not really feelin' Johnny Depp.

Based on your numerous comments and clicks on our poll this morning, many of you agree with People's pick for Sexiest Man Alive, but a majority of you would have gone in a different direction.

Well, we hear you loud and clear...and you're not alone.

"I'm a bit surprised," a taken-aback America's Next Top Model judge "Miss J" Alexander told us at the VH1 Save the Music Big Shopping event at the W Hotel Times Square this afternoon.

We read what you had to say about this hot-button issue and tallied your first choices (yeah, we're that scientific from time to time). We're not going to lie—you surprised us.

Your hottest hottie, by a landslide, is...

Hugh Jackman, it's time to pass the baton.

Johnny Depp has been named People's 2009 Sexiest Man Alive.

He joins Brad Pitt and George Clooney as only the third to earn this prestigious title for a second time-the erstwhile Captain Jack Sparrow won in 2003 as well.

Too bad most guessers in the Twitterverse were completely off-track. The magazine offered clues over the past few days, promising the man on the stands would have roots in a foreign country, has proposed at least once and was taller than Ryan Seacrest. All signs pointed to Robert Pattinson or Ryan Reynolds.

But the magazine tends to choose an older, more established star, and the 46-year-old definitely still definintely has it goin' on.

Not enough hotness for you this morning? Here's 10 Guys We Crave.

Levi Johnston must be more bashful than we thought.

After all the hype, the father to Sarah Palin's grandson won't be giving Playgirl the full monty. What a tease!

"[Levi] did not give 'full frontal' as his manager Tank [Jones] reported he would," Daniel Nardicio, a spokesman for Playgirl, told the New York Daily News.

However, the rep does promise minor peeks at Bristol Palin's ex's goodies and that the overall, ahem, package is sure to please.

"We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them, but although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity."

So much for that "aspiring porn" career! Sounds like there may be one less thing to talk about at the Palin family Thanksgiving dinner table.

There was no nudity (or even a moon) on the New Moon red carpet, but everyone looked hot nonetheless.

The discovery of significant amounts of water on the moon a few days ago was a key moment in the history of space exploration. But we're guessing there's a different kind of New Moon info that's more likely to send you into orbit, what with Monday's big Twilight sequel premiere in Los Angeles an all.

Which got us to thinking, do icy moon rocks rock your world, or do you favor icy-hot vampires? OK, we've got a pretty good guess which way you're leaning on this, but let's keep things scientific and you tell us in the poll below.

Just as he has with so many other women, Robert Pattinson has become a full-fleged citizen of Stephenie Meyer's fantasy world.

The usually press-shy author who gave life to Bella, Edward, Jacob and a billion-dollar media phenomenon told Oprah Winfrey today that R.Pattz and his unique and "significantly featured" face brought her visions of Edward to life.

"I knew that the problem was going to be Edward, because he's the perfect vampire," Meyer said in what will be her only formal interview before New Moon hits theaters Nov. 20. "How do you cast that from your pool of human actors?"

But Pattinson "doesn't look like everybody else," she said. "There's something unusual. There are moments where he looks exactly like he did in my head." 

As for the role of Bella, "there's plenty of people who look like the girl next door. We were really lucky with Kristen Stewart, who is a phenomenal actress."

And the rest is history.

History wrought by a dream that Meyer, a first-time author who had never tried to publish anything, just happened to have.

Hey, if everyone's seen you naked anyway...

Prominent porn studio Vivid Entertainment has reextended its $1 million offer to ex-Miss California USA Carrie Prejean to star in an adult film, hopeful that she'd be more receptive to the idea now that they know it's not a matter of her being too shy to strip for the camera.

And timing is everything.

Since when did Men's Health feature guys in shirts?

We thought the whole point of the mag was for ladies to drool and men to get jealous enough to buy a copy so they can learn how to make their ladies drool.

So why, pray tell, would Taylor Lautner, New Moon's resident Shirtless Sherman, be all buttoned up on the cover of the lad mag—especially since the article tells the tale of how a 140-pound 17-year-old built all the muscle to hold on to the part of Jacob Black.

It's not because those Twilighters are afraid of nudity—Christian Serratos proved that yesterday. And Lautner told us this weekend that he's not done disrobing, so that can't be the reason.

Clothed or not, Tay-Tay still looks adorable, especially when he covers up those filthy shirts with a leather jacket and does one of his big jumping tricks. We like those. We just like them better shirtless.

See more stunts and dirty shirt sexiness after the jump!

Ecstatic screams and fluttering hearts translate the same in any language.

"Thank you all so much for coming," Robert Pattinson told a crowd of adoring fans in Tokyo, his latest stop on the whirlwind New Moon publicity tour.

"It's always really surprising, whenever we go anywhere in the world, there seems to be so many people everywhere who are just as passionate...It's always just amazing to find that out."

You'd think the British über-heartthrob would be used to it by now.

The largely female crowd started lining up hours ahead of time for Rob's appearance at Shinigawa Intercity Hall, where the ambiguously attached vampire portrayer took questions from the audience—which was instructed beforehand not to inquire about his personal life.

Yet the Edward-lovers found stuff to ask him, maybe about the movie or whatever. New Moon director Chris Weitz was also on-hand for the Q&A session and to take pictures afterward, as was Japanese pop star Miliyah Kato, whose song "Destiny" has been heard in some of the film's trailers.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Bella and Jacob held court...

Chelsea Handler's dad must be so proud.

Playboy's December cover girl set herself up for the big reveal tonight on The Jay Leno Show, joking with the host that her pop was going to love it "because he thinks I'm very sexual."

Then Jay surprised Chelsea with a larger-than-life version of the leggy blonde's Playboy cover, featuring the Chelsea Lately host (who quit drinking for "like a day and a half" to get in shape) standing in some faux snow, clad in a barely there white bikini and tall cushy boots.

Handler demurred, however, when a slightly worked-up Jay encouraged her to strike a similar pose for the audience.

"We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back," she cracked.
