GQ December 2006 : Men of the Year

[kimair]

from wwd...

It's not quite Time magazine, but speculation has been growing over who will make GQ's "Men of the Year" issue in December. Playing the field, the title has picked the "comic, musician and actor of our time" to appear on separate covers: Will Ferrell, Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio. Lindsay Lohan is named "obsession of the year" and gives a tongue-and-cheek interview about how she wishes celebrity magazines would write more about her. (Are there enough trees?) Meanwhile, the photographs with the story show Lohan happily ripping up the pages of a tabloid.

GQ's December issue also honors Pamela Anderson, who caused a traffic jam during her 40-minute photo shoot with Michael Thompson. She pretended to be hitching a ride on the Pacific Coast Highway, clad in a white bikini. Back to the men, other honorees include Stephen Colbert, Thom Browne (who was interviewed by Simon Doonan), Ryan Gosling and Burberry's Christopher Bailey as designer of the year. Editor in chief Jim Nelson said he asked Terry Richardson to shoot the honorees (excluding Bailey and Anderson) because of his "versatility in style and approach." The issue will hit newsstands Nov. 21.

Lindsay, obsession? I would say Scarlett would be best put in that category... but Lohan definitely had the exposure...

I'm looking forward to the covers. I agree with Will Ferrell...

I love Stephen Colbert.

you're not the only one I hope it's more than a one-page image and description. Considering the small number of men listed in the original post and cover, it gives me hope that each profile will be a bit more substantial than the usual lists compiled by magazines.

How hot and charming does Leonardo Dicaprio look on that cover?

The Leo`s cover was from perezhilton.com forum
