Bradley Cooper has been named People magazine's 2011 Sexiest Man Alive. It's B-Coop's first time winning the title, which he takes over from last year's SMA Ryan Reynolds, who is probably softly weeping into Blake Lively's breasts as we speak.

“I think it’s really cool that a guy who doesn’t look like a model can have this [title],” Brad said in his interview with the mag. “I think I’m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.” After fulfilling his false modesty quota, Cooper drove through the streets of LA with a megaphone loudly declaring, "I AM THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!" Okay, maybe not, but that's what I would have done.

The Hangover star went on to talk about how happy his mother would be with the honor, but did not address rumors that he's doing some sort of on-again-off-again thing with Jennifer Lopez. Let's hope there's no truth to those claims. Banging Skeletor's sloppy seconds would be a total waste of a Sexiest Man Alive.
