You know those Hollywood men that drive women crazy and drive us men crazy for a very different reason because they are rich and just all around perfect? Well here is a list of some Hollywood guys that we actually love as much as women do because they actually seem like they would be fun to hang out with, well in my opinion anyway.
1. George Clooney
George Clooney is the quintessential guy’s guy. Not only is he popular with the ladies, but he’s into practical jokes, always seems in control and he likes fast cars and motorcycles. In Ocean’s 11, he made every guy want to be part of his crew, and on the red carpet he makes men think about how cool they would look in a tuxedo.
2. Leonardo Dicaprio
In 1998, after starring in the guy-Krypton Oscar winner Titanic, Leo’s cherubic face was plastered across teeny bopper magazines that ruined his rep with everyday bros. Thanks to some judicious role selection and a three-movie run with Martin Scorcese, Leonardo has since redeemed himself in the eyes of guys everywhere.
3. Denzel Washington
Ever since he came on the scene with his breakout role in the 1983 movie Cry Freedom, Denzel Washington has been walking the line between swoon-worthy hunk and politically-aware intellectual. Along the way, Denzel landed in movies like Training Day and American Gangster that showed just how badass this intellectual hunk can be.
4. James Franco
It might be his self-deprecating sense of humor or the fact that Judd Apatow just makes him seem so damn likeable, but for whatever reason James Franco transcends heartthrob status and is in with the guys. Sure he was named “Sexiest Man Living” by Salon.com, but he was also hilarious in the guy-centric Pineapple Express.
5. Robert Redford
Robert Redford may be past his full-on hunk days, but he still pulls off a rugged sense of cool that’s been much-emulated and rarely achieved. It helps his status with guys that he made probably the best buddy cowboy movie ever with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
6. Jon Hamm
It’s hard to believe that Jon Hamm’s breakout role in Mad Men came just three years ago. Since then, Jon has hosted Saturday Night Live twice and landed on both People and Salon.com’s lists of sexiest men. But don’t confuse him with his alter ego. Jon is quick to warn people off looking up to Don Draper too much and says he’s actually nothing like the brooding leading man.
7. Benicio del Toro
Benicio del Toro has said he doesn’t see himself as a hunk and he doesn’t know why he ends up on lists like these, but admits he’s always been popular with the ladies. His roles in guy favorites like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Sin City, have helped make him a hit on both sides of the gender divide.
8. Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt is the cool guy that guys want to hang out with. Sure he’d probably always win the attention of the hottest girl in the room, but he’d also be a really awesome wingman. Brad won over the ladies first in Legends of the Fall, but by the time he played Tyler Durden in Fight Club, the guys couldn’t resist. He gets bonus points with guys for growing ill-conceived facial hair.
9. Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is a one-of-a-kind cultural anomoly. He’s spent the better part of his career enjoying full-on heartthrob status. He’s flirted with androgyny. He spends about half his time in France and has insulted the United States in interviews. And still he’s adored by guys and girls alike. How could this be? Simple. Guys love pirates.
10. Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey, Jr. has some serious demons in his past, but that just seems to give him character. Not only is he the guy that guys would love to party with, he’s the guy whose stories would actually be interesting. He’s got a cocky attitude that works for him somehow, leading future co-star Chris Evans to remark, “I don’t think anybody tells Downey what to do, and that’s what makes [him] Downey.”
11. Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx has shamelessly played up his lady’s man status throughout his career, and while the way he’s pandered to the audience doesn’t earn him cool points, somehow it hasn’t hurt him either. Jamie got an inexplicable Mike Tyson-like head tattoo, he’s trotted out his Oscar-winning Ray Charles impression more than once for pop music, and yet he’s still cool enough to get Ron Howard to show up in his music video.
12. Paul Rudd
Look at his resume and you’ll quickly realize Paul Rudd has one of the coolest filmographies in Hollywood. He had his breakout in the 1995 chick flick Clueless, and more recently he starred alongside Jason Segal in I Love You, Man, which is basically how guys feel when they see him play his everybro schtick for laughs on the big screen.
13. Justin Timberlake
Sure he got his start making teenage girls scream with N*Sync, but with the help of a haircut, some snappy clothes, and a “D— in a Box,” J.T. successfully reinvented his image as guy friendly.
14. Alec Baldwin
How do you win over guys and girls alike? Being good looking and hilarious has worked out for Alec Baldwin. Tina Fey saved his career, but before 30 Rock, Alec’s mix of charm and quick wit was cracking up SNL fans with sketches like his classic “Schweddy Balls.

MovieFone have come up with their annual list of the 25 hottest stars in Hollywood that are all under the age of 25.
Miley Cyrus, Age: 16
Years on List: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: Um, hello? Anyone heard of ‘Hannah Montana’? But it’s not just Kids’/Teen Choice awards for Cyrus — she was nominated for a Golden Globe for original song in ‘Bolt.’
What’s Next: Starring in Nicholas Sparks’ big screen version of ‘The Last Song’; a fish-out-of-water flick called ‘Wings’; and the remake of ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun.’ (Makes sense — she’s already covered Cyndi Lauper’s hit theme song.)
Megan Fox, Age: 23
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: Fox made another summer a lot hotter, with ‘Transformers 2,’ the year’s biggest box office earner thus far. And she continues to be the world’s best interview — just when you think she’s said the craziest thing ever, she tops herself.
What’s Next: ‘Jennifer’s Body’ (the comedy horror penned by ‘Juno’ scribe Diablo Cody) is just around the corner; and she’ll play a hooker in 2010′s ‘Jonah Hex’ and a water-breathing superhero in the in-development ‘Fathom.’
I’m not even old but this list makes me feel old, thoughts?
Mia Wasikowska, Age: 19

What She’s Done: Hailing from the land Down Under, she had a breakthrough role in the HBO series ‘In Treatment.’
What’s Next: This fall she’ll play rival pilot to Hilary Swank’s ‘Amelia’ (Earhart). Then it’s the title, potentially star-making role in Tim Burton’s highly anticipated ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ alongside Johnny Depp, and as the child of a lesbian couple in the comedy ‘The Kids Are All Right.’
Robert Pattinson, Age: 23
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: You don’t have to be a ‘Twi’-hard to appreciate R-Pattz’s smoldering gaze in the first film adaptation of the teen-vampire love story ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: The ‘Twilight’ saga continues; ‘New Moon’ will hit theaters later this year, and ‘Eclipse’ — already filming — is set for summer 2010. If that’s not enough Pattinson for you, also look for him in the 2010 indie romantic drama ‘Remember Me.’
Scarlett Johansson, Age: 24
Years on the List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: Though she’s never scored an Oscar nod, she’s earned critical kudos for her turns in ‘Lost in Translation,’ ‘The Girl With the Pearl Earring’ and Woody Allen’s ‘Match Point’ and ‘Vicki Cristina Barcelona.’
What’s Next: At long last, ScarJo is going superhero: She’ll play Natasha Romanoff, otherwise known as the leather-clad villainous vixen the Black Widow, in next summer’s eagerly anticipated ‘Iron Man 2.’ Also, she’ll continue to make you wish you were Ryan Reynolds.
Daniel Radcliffe, Age: 20
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: Ever heard of a little film series called ‘Harry Potter’? Well, we hear he’s in it. He also bared his soul — and a lot more — onstage in ‘Equus’; how many other young actors have done that (without there being alcohol or a bet involved)?
What’s Next: His next non-Potter project is a biopic entitled ‘The Journey Is the Destination,’ in which he plays the late photojournalist Dan Eldon, who was killed in 1993 by a mob in Mogadishu.
Gemma Arterton, Age: 23
Years on Lists: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She reportedly beat out 1,499 other candidates to score the role of ill-fated 007 temptress Strawberry Fields in ‘Quantum of Solace.’
What’s Next: Two mega-roles: She’ll get lo — that’s her character’s name — opposite Sam Worthington in March 2010′s ‘Clash of the Titans,’ and play princess to Jake Gyllenhaal’s ‘Prince of Persia’ two months later. Also, yet another ‘Wuthering Heights.’
Freida Pinto, Age: 24
Years on List: 2009
What She’s Done: Pinto’s breakout role in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ made the former fashion model a serious actress … and a household name in the states almost overnight.
What’s Next: Woody Allen’s new star-studded project (alongside Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Sir Anthony Hopkins); and playing the title character in Julian Schnabel’s ‘Miral.’
Vanessa Hudgens, Age: 20
Years on List: 2009
What She’s Done: You might know her from a little franchise called ‘High School Musical,’ but Hudgens is now taking non-Disney gigs, like summer’s surprisingly well-reviewed (but still musical) ‘Bandslam.’
What’s Next: ‘Beastly,’ a modern-day live-action retelling of ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ coming in 2010; and ‘Sucker Punch,’ Zack Snyder’s latest surreal offering, slated for 2011.
Dakota Fanning, Age: 15
Years on List: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: This year Hollywood’s youngest veteran actress starred in the thriller ‘Push’ and voiced the lead in the animated hit ‘Coraline,’ seamlessly transitioning from child star to adept teen actress.

Shia LaBeouf, Age: 23
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: From the ‘Transformers’ franchise to meatier flicks like ‘A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints,’ LaBeouf has proven that his range extends well past ‘Even Stevens.’

Saoirse Ronan, Age: 15
Years on List: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: Stole the screen from none other than Keira Knightley in the acclaimed 2007 drama ‘Atonement,’ earning several awards nominations (including Best Supporting Actress Oscar) for her troubles.
What’s Next: She’ll anchor Peter Jackson’s much-anticipated ‘The Lovely Bones,’ as murdered girl Susie Salman, and hold her own against such acting heavyweights as Colin Farrell and Ed Harris in Peter Weir’s upcoming ‘The Way Back.’
Kristen Stewart, Age: 19
Years on List: 2007, 2008
What She’s Done: She’d already garnered acclaim as a child actor (‘Panic Room’) and an extraordinarily mature teen actor (‘Into the Wild’) before being cast in the career-changing role of the headstrong, lovestruck Bella Swan in ‘Twilight’ and its future sequels.
What’s Next: She’ll play Joan Jett in the biopic ‘The Runaways’ and hopes to be able to do her own singing in the movie. And then, of course, there are enough ‘Twilight’ sequels to keep her going until she’s almost too old for this list.
Ellen Page, Age: 22
Years on the List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She’s best known for playing superhero Kitty Pride in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and a super-pregnant teen in ‘Juno,’ for which she scored an Oscar nod.

Bobb’e J. Thompson, Age: 13
Years on List: 2009
What He’s Done: After small roles in ‘Cellular,’ ‘Idlewild’ and ‘Fred Claus,’ the older-than-he-looks tween became an instant comedy hero with his deliciously vulgar turn as the Little Brother from hell in ‘Role Models.’
What’s Next: In addition to scoring his own Cartoon Network series, ‘Bobb’e Says,’ he’ll voice a character alongside Bill Hader and Anna Faris in this month’s animated ‘Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.’
Michael Cera, Age: 21
Years on the List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: After breaking out on TV’s ‘Arrested Development,’ Cera scored box office success in 2007 with ‘Superbad’ and the Oscar-nominated ‘Juno.’
What’s Next: He’ll play two roles (an affable teen and his bad-boy French alter ego) in this fall’s indie comedy ‘Youth in Revolt,’ battle his dream girls’ five evil ex-boyfriends in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ and (fingers crossed) return to his roots for an ‘Arrested Development’ feature film.
Keira Knightley, Age: 24
Years on the List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She played the sexiest swashbuckler ever in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise, scored an Oscar nod for 2005′s ‘Pride & Prejudice’ and bathed with Sienna Miller (platonically, of course) in this year’s ‘The Edge of Love.’
What’s Next: Though she won’t be returning for ‘Pirates 4,’ she has a quartet of films due in 2010 — including ‘London Boulevard’ (opposite Colin Farrell), and ‘Never Let Me Go,’ based on Kazu Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel.
Dev Patel, Age: 19
Years on List: 2009
What He’s Done: The Indian-English actor was best known for the TV series ‘Skins’ — in Britain, only — until hitting the jackpot when the lead role in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ made him world famous.
What’s Next: He teams with Hollywood’s most famous Indian-American, M. Night Shyamalan, for next summer’s action-adventure ‘The Last Airbender’ (based on the animated series ‘Avatar’).
Emile Hirsch, Age: 24
Years on List: 2007, 2009
What He’s Done: He’s come a long way since ‘The Girl Next Door,’ blowing us away in ‘Into the Wild’ and ‘Milk’ — and really, the failure of ‘Speed Racer’ wasn’t his fault.
What’s Next: How do you know when you’ve really made it as an actor? When you’ve played Hamlet, which Hirsch will do in 2010 under the tutelage of ‘Twilight’ director Catherine Hardwicke (the two are already old friends, from their ‘Lords of Dogtown’ days).
Chace Crawford, Age: 24
Years on List: 2009
What He’s Done: He blew up as pretty boy Nate Archibald on ‘Gossip Girl.’ And despite poor career choices (Ã la ‘Haunting of Molly Hartley’), his old Hollywood charm and dashing good looks can’t be ignored.
What’s Next: In 2010 he’ll step into Kevin Bacon’s dancing shoes as Ren in the remake of ‘Footloose,’ then star in Joel Schumacher’s crime-drama ‘Twelve.’
Taylor Lautner, Age: 17
Years on List: 2009
What He’s Done: The family flicks ‘Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl’ and ‘Cheaper by the Dozen 2′ put him in position to land the iconic role of Jacob Back (you know, star of Team Jacob) in ‘Twilight.’
What’s Next: Lautner had to fight a public battle to keep the role of werewolf Jacob for November’s sequel ‘New Moon,’ putting on 30 pounds in the process. Fan reactions to his shirtless publicity stills say the studio made the right call. In between ‘Twilight’s, he’ll appear in 2010′s star-studded rom-com ‘Valentine’s Day.’
Emma Watson, Age: 19
Years on List: 2007, 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: She’s embodied our favorite girl wizard, Hermione Granger, in the beloved — and wildly successful — ‘Harry Potter’ movies.
What’s Next: The clever Brit has enrolled in Brown University, but with two ‘Potter’ films still to come, we doubt that Watson will be disappearing from our radar anytime soon.
Amanda Seyfried, Age: 23
Years on List: 2008, 2009
What She’s Done: The TV-turned-movie star appeared in small films like ‘Alpha Dog’ and ‘Nine Lives’ before breaking out in sing-a-long fashion opposite Meryl Streep in ‘Mamma Mia!’
What’s Next: This month she’s good girl to Megan Fox’s evil bloodsucker in the horror flick ‘Jennifer’s Body.’ Then she has the Atom Egoyan-helmed ‘Chloe,’ plus 2010′s ‘Dear John’ (based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks), a film version of beloved comic-strip ‘Marmaduke,’ and ‘Letters to Juliet,’ opposite Gael GarcÃa Bernal.
Carey Mulligan, Age: 24
Years on List: 2009
What She’s Done: Writing a letter to the producers won her the role of Kitty Bennett in the 2005 Keira Knightley starrer ‘Pride & Prejudice,’ and she appeared briefly in summer’s ‘Public Enemies.’
What’s Next: She’s getting immaculate grades for her role in the coming-of-age Sundance darling ‘An Education,’ with some pundits even whispering Oscar. She’ll also be seen in December’s ‘Brothers’ and next year stars in ‘Wall Street 2′ with Shia LaBeouf, whom she’s rumored to now be dating.
Zac Efron, Age: 21
Years on Lists: 2007, 2008, 2009
What He’s Done: He of the perfect hair sang and danced his way to superstardom in ‘High School Musical’ (with ‘HSM’ 3′ even hitting the big screen) before branching out in the ‘Big’-like hit ’17 Again.’
What’s Next: Will prove he’s got dramatic chops in November’s ‘Me and Orson Welles’ (directed by Richard Linklater); then takes two title roles, in the drama ‘The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud,’ and the video-game adaptation ‘Johnny Quest.’
I’m not even old, but this list makes me feel it.

Popularity: unranked [?]
Hollywood is an excellent spot for ghost hunting. From scorned starlets to personable pets, some of Tinseltown’s most famous faces are still haunting the town, decades after their deaths.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery
6000 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, Calif.
Previously named Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the resting (and haunting) place of many stars of the silver screen. One famous phantom is early 20th century newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst who is said to visit the grave of his mistress, Marion Davies. Wander near the grave of silent film actress Virginia Rappe and listen for sounds of sobbing. Rappe died a few days after suffering a violent sexual assault during a party held by Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle at San Francisco’s Saint Francis hotel. Arbuckle was acquitted of murder charges, but the scandal ruined his career.
L.A. Pet Cemetery
Canoga Park, Calif.
Many pets of the rich and famous find their final resting place in this celebrity cemetery. Some of the popular pets include Topper, the real horse of fictional hero Bill “Hopalong” Cassidy from the 1935 film Hopalong Cassidy, starring William Boyd. Also buried here is dog Petey from the 1920s and ’30s TV series Our Gang (later known as The Little Rascals). 1920s Italian actor Rudolph Valentino’s Great Dane, Kabar, is the most famous furry friend buried there. Legend claims that he affectionately haunts the grounds and is said to playfully lick people who stop at his grave.
Culver Studios
9336 West Washington Blvd., Culver City, Calif.
Stagehands have reported seeing a ghostly figure who looks like silent filmmaker Thomas Ince roaming the catwalks of Culver Studios. Ince died on William Randolph Hearst’s yacht, Oneida, supposedly from indigestion, although some claim he was actually shot by Hearst. Hearst supposedly mistook Ince for the comedian Charlie Chaplin, whom he thought was having an affair with his sweetheart, actress Marion Davies.
The Hollywood Sign
There have been many suicides off the famous Hollywood sign, which originally read “Hollywoodland.” The ghosts of the dead are said to roam the woods surrounding the sign. Most famous is the ghost of Welsh actress Peg Entwistle. Depressed by her lack of career success, she decided to take her own life by jumping from the “H” in the sign. Ironically, Entwistle found fame after death, making headlines across America as “The Hollywood Sign Girl.” There have been many reports of a pretty, but very sad, blonde dressed in 1930s clothing wandering aimlessly around the sign.
The Wild Goose
2431 W. PCH, Newport Beach, Calif.
The Wild Goose was once a Canadian war ship in World War II. She was bought by legendary actor John Wayne in 1965. Wayne loved the yacht and spent a lot of time on it while alive and, according to legend, since he’s been dead. It is said that the ghost of Wayne wanders the boat. The Wild Goose is now owned by Hornblower Cruises & Events in California and is still sailed, probably much to Wayne’s pleasure.
The Vogue Theatre
6675 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Calif.
The Vogue Theatre was built on the same spot once occupied by a school house that burned down in 1901, killing the teacher and all the students. Afterward, a textile factory was built on the site, only to burn down as well. Not only is the site cursed, the theater is one of the most haunted places in Hollywood. An entire movie theater full of people once complained of a little girl jumping rope up and down the aisle, only to have staff explain there was no little girl in the theater. Another time, during a film festival, the projectionist allegedly fell asleep and someone changed the reels for him, letting the show go on.
Harry Houdini’s Mansion
Corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Willow Glen Road, Laurel Canyon, Calif.
The magician Harry Houdini was fascinated with the idea of a parallel world and reportedly held séances in his mansion in Laurel Canyon. He promised his wife he would make contact with her after he died, going so far as to develop a secret contact code. Eventually, Houdini’s wife sold the mansion, and, in the 1950s, most of it burned down. On Halloween night, many claim to see the ghost of Houdini walking the remaining parts of his beloved mansion. They say he likes to walk the original staircase. Houdini, always fascinated with ghosts, may now be one himself.
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
7000 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, Calif.
There are a number of different supposed hauntings at this famous Hollywood hotel, which first opened in 1927. Cabana 928 on the ninth floor is where 1940s actor Montgomery Clift stayed while filming the 1953 flick From Here to Eternity. Apparently, guests can still hear him practicing the bugle that he played in the movie. Marilyn Monroe lived in Cabana 246, and her personal mirror is in the lobby where startled visitors can sometimes see her staring back at them.
Pickfair Mansion
1143 Summit Dr, Beverly Hills, Calif.
Pickfair, what some call Hollywood’s first mansion, was named for the owners, silent film actress Mary Pickford and her husband, actor Douglas Fairbanks. The house was first claimed to be haunted by the couple themselves. While living there, the famous couple reported seeing the image of a woman, supposedly a maid who was shot in the house, walking up the stairs with sheet music in her hands. Numerous subsequent owners say they have seen Mary’s ghost wearing a ruffled white dress wandering the first floor. Eventually, the house was torn down by actress Pia Zadora and her husband, and a new one was built on the site.
