Ryan Reynolds Named Sexiest Dad Alive

From HERE.

Our little Ryan is all grown up. Next stop: dad bod? Hard to believe it was decade ago when he posed for Men's Fitness looking the HOTTEST he ever has.

Ryan Reynolds Takes One for the Team

Ryan Reynolds is pretty much where you'd expect him to be in 2016 -- still looking hot and starring in Hyundai commercials ... looking hot.

Ryan Reynolds’ Father Dies After Battle With Parkinson’s Disease

Sad to hear about the passing of Ryan Reynolds' father, James C. Reynolds, after battling Parkison's disease for many years. Last Thanksgiving we were devastated when my mother announced that she had just been diagnosed with the degenerative disorder -- yet her doctor said she was so old (Ryan's dad's exact age) and it was so early that she'd probably "die of something else" before it got her. (With that sense of "humor," I couldn't help but wonder if this doctor was my biological father!) While it's true that my mother's back issues -- unrelated to PD -- were a more pressing concern, here's hoping for a cure to this insidious killer soon. Donate to the Michael J. Fox Foundation HERE.

Ryan Reynolds Older, Still Hot

Reynolds Rap

Ryan with Roger Durling and co-star Abigail Bresling

Dreamy Ryan Reynolds has a reputation for making really bad movies, yet I keep racing to see them. Might "Definitely, Maybe," his new romantic comedy about a single dad in Manhattan whose 10-year-old daughter wants to know the full story about his life before fatherhood, finally be the one that ends the streak of duds? Either way, I'll be there! Watch the trailer below:

Mirror Moves

In what can only be described as the most delusional creative casting move in the history of film, Ryan Reynolds plays Jim August -- the gay writer/director behind "Go" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" -- in the new film "The Nines." (Advocate)
