Both Will Smith and Shemar Moore made People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, although Matt Damon got the top spot. Do the editors just go to the Ocean’s 11 IMDB page, close their eyes, and point around this time every year? Of course, it’s an automatic do-over if the finger lands on Don Cheadle.

Anyway, here’s the ridiculousness Shemar had to say about preserving his sexy.

The ex-model has come up with the perfect recipe for what it takes to feel sexy: “A fresh haircut is so important. I wear my hair so low. Freshly faded,” says Moore, 37, who stars on CBS’s Criminal Minds. “A nice tan in my back yard so I can get that bronze, brown-sugar glow, a vintage pair of jeans and white button down shirt with a couple of buttons open. A chrome chain. Pair of sneakers.”

Nothing about gay nude beaches? [ONTD]

Shemar Moore, completely unconcerned that the world has now seen him with no clothes on, is finally speaking out on the gay rumors. He wasn’t naked on a gay beach, he says. He was just naked.

“People find it interesting to try to make me gay; I’m not gay. I went on vacation with two girlfriends of mine who, interestingly enough got cut out of the pictures. We found a nude beach, as far as I know, was a unisex beach…. We took off our clothes and jumped in the water. I’ve been trying to skinny dip since I was a teenager. I’m just grateful that the water was warm!”

What kind of person has been trying to skinny dip since they were teens and only just now, at the age of 37, manages to do it? Like his house doesn’t have a pool! Am I dwelling on the wrong thing? Oh yeah — gay or not? He hasn’t convinced me, yet.

Essence’s 2007 list of “Do Right Men” includes Shemar Moore, who may be looking* for his own do right man, Brian McKnight (eh), the cover-gracing athletes — Kerry Rhodes, Dhani Jones, and Braylon Edwards — above, and a bunch of randoms who probably deserve the “Do Right” designation far more than the famous ones. You can peruse pics of the 60 guys and even send them e-mails that will never get answered at Essence.com. And if you’d like to see far more of Shemar Moore than Essence will ever show, check out some NSFW uncensored pics of his nude beach excursion here.

Once a sex symbol, now a symbol of everything that is wrong with Hollywood, Shemar Moore is the latest (but definitely not the greatest) to catch a DUI on the mean streets of Los Angeles.

According to TMZ, which obviously keeps a very close watch on LA county arrest reports, Moore, late of Young & The Restless and currently seen on Criminal Minds, was released on $5,000 bail after being pulled over around 1:30 this morning. Seeing as DUIs are so damn trendy lately and Moore’s name hasn’t been in the papers since, well, ever, this may be the smartest dumb mistake he’s ever made.
