Like many superstar artists' signature songs, Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time" was actually written for someone else, according to author John Seabrook's book "The Song Machine," which explains the process that has created some of the biggest hit songs of the past two decades.
The piece, initially called "Hit Me Baby," was written by Swedish music producer and songwriter Max Martin for TLC, the three-woman American R&B group.
TLC passed.
Singer T-Boz, one-third of TLC, later recalled the group's decision to reject the song.
"I was like, I like the song, but do I think it's a hit? Do I think it's TLC? ... Was I going to say, 'Hit me baby one more time'? Hell no!" she said, according to Seabrook.
Because of its misleading and potentially ominous meaning, "Hit Me Baby" was later tweaked to "...Baby One More Time."
"It's hard to imagine that anyone for whom English is a first language would write the phrase 'Hit me baby' without intending it as an allusion to domestic violence or S&M," Seabrook wrote.
But, he adds, "that was the furthest thing from the mind of the gentle Swedes [Martin and his collaborators], who were only trying to use up-to-the-minute lingo for 'Call me.'"
Apparently, Martin had a misunderstanding of American slang or how the phrase would translate in the song.
After TLC rejected it, Martin sent the tune to Robyn — the Swedish teen-pop queen who has redefined herself as a more adult pop singer — but nothing materialized from that, either.
After meeting then 15-year-old Britney Spears, who was newly signed at Jive Records, Martin went back to Stockholm and "worked on the song a little more with her in mind, made a copy, and mailed it to Jive," Seabrook wrote.

Seabrook wrote: "'...Baby One More Time' is a song about obsession, and it takes all of two seconds to hook you, not once but twice, first with the sung triplet 'Da Nah Nah' and then with that alluring growl-purr Britney emits with her first line, 'Oh baby bay-bee.'"
The song spent 32 weeks on the Hot 100 chart and still remains Spears' longest-charting single, according to Billboard.
In 2011, Spears' high-school-set music video was voted by Billboard readers the best of the 1990s and was honored in the final episode of "TRL" as the most requested video of all time.

No, you aren't imagining things: Superhero movies are long, and they're about to get longer.
Following the news that "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has a running time of 2 hours and 31 minutes, /Film is reporting that the superhero movie immediately following it, "Captain America: Civil War," will go to 2 hours and 26 minutes.
Which makes it the longest Marvel movie yet.
That's a whole lot of Marvel action, as this chapter, which Robert Downey Jr. has dubbed "'The Godfather' of superhero movies," will look at the division within the ranks of The Avengers.
But the 146-minute running time isn't vastly longer than past titles from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" clocked at 141 minutes and "The Avengers" was 143 minutes.
Both made over $1 billion worldwide in their theatrical releases.
It'll be interesting to see if a Marvel movie will one day venture into the rarefied air of "The Dark Knight Rises," with its 164 minutes of superhero brooding.
"Captain America: Civil War" opens May 6.

The current television season is just a couple months from ending, so networks are making the tough decisions as to what will stay and what has to go.
With today's shrinking live viewership, it takes more than just ratings for a TV show to survive to see another season. Networks are now looking at online, On Demand, and streaming viewership; social-media audiences; and international appeal, among countless other factors.
It can be a pretty anxious time for fans: Did you fall in love with a new show you desperately want to come back? Or did you invest years on something that might suddenly get the ax? Or do you just need one essential plot question solved so you can move on with your life? We feel you.

50 Cent (real name: Curtis Jackson) filed for bankruptcky after he was ordered to pay $7 million for allegedly releasing a sex tape. But that didn't stop him from flaunting a whole lot of cash on his Instagram.
A judge then ordered 50 Cent to explain all the cash so the court could ensure he was being honest about his money woes and bankruptcy proceedings.
In a court declaration filed on Tuesday, the rapper claims the photos depict "'prop money' used for G-Unit Records and videos and photo shoots," TheWrap reports.
"Hip-hop culture is widely recognized as aspirational in nature. The standard by which artists and fans engage is commonly tied to money, jewelry, products and advertising over social media,” 50 Cent said in the filing. "Products and brands are now marketed through social media as an effective way to engage with consumers.
"Just because I am sensitive to the needs of maintaining my brand does not mean that I am hiding assets or that I have lied on my filings in this Bankruptcy Case, neither of which is true."

In the early days of Snapchat, models viewed the fast-rising social app as a risk.
The disappearing photo network had been known at its start as a network for anatomy pics, to put it politely. Its first name, after all, was "Peekaboo." Models and photographers hadn't found a safe spot on the social network yet.
"If you were an Insta-model, you weren’t on Snapchat," says Billy Hawkins co-founder and CEO of Arsenic. "If you were like a model with a million adoring fans, many of them male, that wasn’t the most comfortable space."
That changed when Snapchat introduced public stories, and now many models are finding their own slice of fame on the social network — largely thanks to Arsenic.
The media powerhouse morphed from a side project of Hawkins and Amanda Micallef to a venture-backed business in the last year. Women wanting to feel sexy in their own way, whether that's lounging by a pool or buying candy at a grocery store, are crowdsourced to "take over" the account and post pictures.
The real, raw, and edgy nature of the content has more than half a million people tuning into it every single day on Snapchat. Arsenic's Instagram account already has double the followers of Maxim Magazine's.
While most people use Snapchat just to send snapshots of their life to friends, Arsenic has been at the forefront of experimenting with new ways to run a media company on an app where everything disappears 24 hours later.
Snapchat began as a way to send photos to friends, only to have them disappear immediately. In 2013, the company introduced Stories, where users can post photos or videos in succession in a place where all their friends on Snapchat can see it. While it originally meant sending a message to a list of friends one-by-one, the stories were more like broadcasting.
Arsenic decided to give it a shot.
A 19-year-old film student volunteering with Arsenic suggested they create an account, but soon it was just this woman complaining about traffic in L.A. or ranting about whatever was on her mind — ways many people use Snapchat right now.
It fit the platform, but didn't fit Arsenic's mission of a crowdsourced magazine where everyone had the power.
The next day, there was a photo shoot and Arsenic models filmed a little of the behind-the-scenes view, showing what it was like to be photographed from their point of view.
"People see the resultant pictures, but the idea that there is a place and you can be there seeing what these beautiful women are creating, you don’t get that kind of access," Hawkins said.
The views doubled, but that didn't mean it was an instant success.
Unlike Instagram, when people could upload photos whenever, Snapchat was live — and the photos would disappear.
That meant Snapchat needed fresh content every single day, which was tough as Arsenic was still mainly a hobby for its founders.
“24 hours later, no matter how much work you put into it, it’s gone," Hawkins said. "We call it feeding the beast.”
That's when they started doing Snapchat takeovers. The then-all volunteer crew would put a call out on Instagram for someone to sign up, and then pick a candidate from the comments.
They kept it open to anyone. They didn't want an "Arsenic Girl" to be a tightly defined body type or look like a Victoria's Secret model or Playboy bunny.
"We embrace lots of types of women. It's part of the reason that women engage with it," Micallef said. "You don’t have to be blonde or six feet tall. It could be my next door neighbor. It could be my best friend."
Arsenic was among the first to do these kinds of takeovers, they believe. It wasn't like they were geniuses, Hawkins adds. They just didn't know what else to do.
Soon, what had been one young woman blabbering about traffic became sexy snapshots of people's lives, whether they were perusing the candy aisle at the gas station or laying out by the pool.
Most of what Arsenic is now calling "Snapshows" start with a hand-drawn logo and then a clip of an old TV show with the Snapchat or Instagram handle of whoever is about to come onto the show.
More recently, the company started trying rolling takeovers, where multiple hosts take over the account on the same day, one after the other. Arsenic asks the crowd in the Instagram comments if it's going well, and if it's not, the next person will get on.
It's also experimenting with more programmed content. While getting a model to take over a Snapchat account for a day takes some effort, coordinating 40 people to broadcast the same thing is something new.
During a car wash in February, 40 people filmed their point of view of the scene. In the background, a luxury car rental brand paid to have their car be used as a prop for the men and women involved in the shoot. It's a way of taking an event and getting millions of eyes on it in a way that's not curated by Snapchat, but is unfiltered.
In January 2015, six weeks after launching on Snapchat, the videos were already garnering 60,000 views, larger than some small cable television shows.
"These were small cable channels obviously, but it did put this idea in our heads: could this become bigger than the television shows we grew up watching?" Micallef said.
So they started mimicking and adapting on what had once been staples of pop culture television. Arsenic created its own version of "MTV Cribs." Their models have broadcast from behind-the-scenes at a concert or sat with Flo Rida in the studio.
"You tuned in because you didn't know what you would miss," Micallef said.
With so many takeovers and different people on the account, making it a comfortable accepting space has remained a priority. Occasionally they've had to block bad actors for sending inappropriate pictures, but the community is generally more supportive or curious than disparaging, Hawkins argues.
More importantly, every idea they've tried has come from the Arsenic community. The mantra right off the bat was that no one tells anyone how they should look — it's about what they want to do and what makes them comfortable, even if it's considered sexy to others.
"We’re edgy and we get that. We believe that we have the opportunity where the edge can serve us well," Hawkins said. "It’s cut through the noise. It’s been consistent with our belief. It’s enabled us to be uncompromising. We have no apologies."

NOW WATCH: Two simple ways to make your Snapchat captions longer
Sacha Baron Cohen, a comedian best known for playing the clueless Borat, revealed a hilarious new persona on Tuesday: he plays an Apple-like executive unveiling a new movie character instead of an iPhone.
The video is pretty funny, and it should be pretty familiar to anyone who's watched an Apple product keynote, from Cohen's speaking rhythms to the same Helvetica Neue font that Apple used to use in its signage.
Cohen fans should enjoy the spot as well, as it references some of his most popular characters, such as Ali G.
But which Apple executive is Cohen channeling? The obvious choice is former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, but there's quite a bit of design boss Jony Ive in Cohen's accent and dress. Part of the clip shows Cohen in an all-white room, similar to the setting in which Ive has often appeared in Apple videos.
"It's a thin veneer of satire and plot, that's so thin, it's actually the smallest and lightest and most confusing plot that's ever been released from a major studio," Cohen deadpans.
The clip was made to promote The Brothers Grimsby, a comedy opening this week in which Cohen plays a die-hard soccer fan that must join his secret agent brother for a new spy assignment. The movie doesn't appear to have any product keynotes in its plot, but perhaps Cohen's just perfecting the character for his next movie.
Here's the full clip:

The second Wachowski sibling of "The Matrix" fame came out as transgender on Tuesday.
Lilly Wachowski, formerly known as Andy, made her announcement in a statement in The Windy City Times, and claimed that a journalist from The Daily Mail showed up at her door with the intention of outing her.
"So yeah, I’m transgender. And yeah, I’ve transitioned," Wachowski wrote.
The announcement comes four years after Lilly's sister Lana came out as transgender.
The pair of filmmakers directed the "Matrix" trilogy and wrote and produced "V for Vendetta," among other films.
Here's Wachowski's full statement:
“SEX CHANGE SHOCKER—WACHOWSKI BROTHERS NOW SISTERS!!!”
There’s the headline I’ve been waiting for this past year. Up until now with dread and/or eye rolling exasperation. The “news” has almost come out a couple of times. Each was preceded by an ominous email from my agent—reporters have been asking for statements regarding the “Andy Wachowski gender transition” story they were about to publish. In response to this threatened public outing against my will, I had a prepared a statement that was one part piss, one part vinegar and 12 parts gasoline.
It had a lot of politically relevant insights regarding the dangers of outing trans people, and the statistical horrors of transgender suicide and murder rates. Not to mention a slightly sarcastic wrap-up that “revealed” my father had injected praying mantis blood into his paternal ball-sac before conceiving each of his children to produce a brood of super women, hellbent on female domination. Okay, mega sarcastic.
But it didn’t happen. The editors of these publications didn’t print a story that was only salacious in substance and could possibly have a potentially fatal effect. And being the optimist that I am, I was happy to chalk it up to progress.
Then last night while getting ready to go out for dinner my doorbell rang. Standing on my front porch was a man I did not recognize.
“This might be a little awkward,” he said in an English accent.
I remember sighing.
Sometimes it’s really tough work to be an optimist.
He proceeded to explain he was a journalist from the Daily Mail, which was the largest news service in the UK and was most definitely not a tabloid. And that I really had to sit down with him tomorrow or the next day or next week so that I could have my picture taken and tell my story which was so inspirational! And that I really didn’t want to have someone from the National Enquirer following me around, did I? BTW—The Daily Mail is so definitely not a tabloid.
My sister Lana and I have largely avoided the press. I find talking about my art frustratingly tedious and talking about myself a wholly mortifying experience. I knew at some point I would have to come out publicly. You know, when you’re living as an out transgender person it’s … kind of difficult to hide. I just wanted—needed some time to get my head right, to feel comfortable.
But apparently I don’t get to decide this.
After he had given me his card, and I closed the door it began to dawn on me where I had heard of the Daily Mail. It was the “news” organization that had played a huge part in the national public outing of Lucy Meadows, an elementary school teacher and trans woman in the UK. An editorial in the “not-a-tabloid” demonized her as a damaging influence on the children’s delicate innocence and summarized “he’s not only trapped in the wrong body, he’s in the wrong job.” The reason I knew about her wasn’t because she was transgender it was because three months after the Daily Mail article came out, Lucy committed suicide.
And now here they were, at my front door, almost as if to say—
“There’s another one! Let’s drag ’em out in the open so we can all have a look!”
Being transgender is not easy. We live in a majority-enforced gender binary world. This means when you’re transgender you have to face the hard reality of living the rest of your life in a world that is openly hostile to you.
I am one of the lucky ones. Having the support of my family and the means to afford doctors and therapists has given me the chance to actually survive this process. Transgender people without support, means and privilege do not have this luxury. And many do not survive. In 2015, the transgender murder rate hit an all-time high in this country. A horrifying disproportionate number of the victims were trans women of color. These are only the recorded homicides so, since trans people do not all fit in the tidy gender binary statistics of murder rates, it means the actual numbers are higher.
And though we have come a long way since Silence of the Lambs, we continue to be demonized and vilified in the media where attack ads portray us as potential predators to keep us from even using the goddamn bathroom. The so-called bathroom bills that are popping up all over this country do not keep children safe, they force trans people into using bathrooms where they can be beaten and or murdered. We are not predators, we are prey.
So yeah, I’m transgender.
And yeah, I’ve transitioned.
I’m out to my friends and family. Most people at work know too. Everyone is cool with it. Yes, thanks to my fabulous sister they’ve done it before, but also because they’re fantastic people. Without the love and support of my wife and friends and family I would not be where I am today.
But these words, “transgender” and “transitioned” are hard for me because they both have lost their complexity in their assimilation into the mainstream. There is a lack of nuance of time and space. To be transgender is something largely understood as existing within the dogmatic terminus of male or female. And to “transition” imparts a sense of immediacy, a before and after from one terminus to another. But the reality, my reality is that I’ve been transitioning and will continue to transition all of my life, through the infinite that exists between male and female as it does in the infinite between the binary of zero and one. We need to elevate the dialogue beyond the simplicity of binary. Binary is a false idol.
Now, gender theory and queer theory hurt my tiny brain. The combinations of words, like freeform jazz, clang disjointed and discordant in my ears. I long for understanding of queer and gender theory but it’s a struggle as is the struggle for understanding of my own identity. I have a quote in my office though by José Muñoz given to me by a good friend. I stare at it in contemplation sometimes trying to decipher its meaning but the last sentence resonates:
“Queerness is essentially about the rejection of a here and now and an insistence on potentiality for another world.”
So I will continue to be an optimist adding my shoulder to the Sisyphean struggle of progress and in my very being, be an example of the potentiality of another world.

With "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (opening March 25) giving us a new look at the Dark Knight as Ben Affleck takes over the character, it's time to take stock of the best — and the worst — Batmans we've seen in movies and TV.
The Batman of the screen has evolved from a witty crime fighter on TV to a darkly conflicted man in the movies.
Fans of Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, are extremely loyal to the actor they believe portrayed him best. Any objection is liable to lead to rowdy debates. Who can forget Seth Rogen and Zac Efron arguing the better Batman — Michael Keaton or Christian Bale — in "Neighbors"?
So let's add some more fuel to this superhero debate. Here are the actors who played Batman on TV and in movies (we've excluded animation, with a couple of important exceptions), ranked, starting with the worst.

Still trying to find his footing post-"ER," Clooney was jumping back and forth between romantic comedies and action movies when he took the Batman role after Val Kilmer was one-and-done in "Batman Forever." It turned out to be a disaster. Fans were exhausted by director Joel Schumacher's colorful aesthetic and the cartoonish villains played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (Mr. Freeze) and Uma Thurman (Poison Ivy). And Clooney’s Batman was too jokey. The gruff Dark Knight had become playful and soft.
"Batman & Robin" is the lowest-grossing movie in the franchise, making $238 million worldwide.

The most famous and highly debated photo of John F. Kennedy's shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, got a modern remake on Hulu's new series, "11.22.63."
The show's producers took advantage of the time spent shooting in Dallas, Texas, Oswald's 1960s stomping grounds. That scene with Oswald in his pose was even filmed where it actually happened — in the JFK killer's house.
"[Executive producers Bridget Carpenter, J.J. Abrams, and Stephen King] really strove to to create that world, so much so that we shot in Dealey Plaza, we shot in Lee's actual home," Daniel Webber, who plays Oswald, told Business Insider. "Those small things, which, if you're not there, the audience can tell they're not there. But when they are there, it's what makes great storytelling."
Based on the 2012 King novel of the same title and executive-produced by Abrams ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") and showrunner Bridget Carpenter ("Friday Night Lights"), "11.22.63" stars James Franco as Jake, a high school teacher who's drafted by his aging mentor into using a hidden portal to 1960 in order to stop the JFK assassination.
The photo in question, dubbed the "backyard photo" of Oswald, captures the enigmatic man holding the same type of rifle used to assassinate JFK in one hand and two Communist newspapers in the other. In 1964, the photo went public on the cover of Life magazine and on the front page of the Detroit Free Press. Many believed the image to be fake. And from his jail cell, Oswald said it was a forgery, that someone had placed his head on another person's body.
"It was one of the ones which they picked at — 'the shadows are wrong so it's a setup,' 'it's not his real body, they put his head on there.' It's a very contentious photograph and an intimate photograph," Webber explained.
It was deemed authentic by the Warren Commission and a congressional committee, yet skeptics still believed it could be forged. But last year, Dartmouth College used sophisticated 3D imaging technology to study the photo and it, too, ruled that the photo is real.
Although the scene appears early in the eight-part Hulu series, the cast and crew reenacted the photo on their last day of shooting. They really wanted to make sure they got it right, Webber told BI.
"We had the joy of really looking around and seeing who was there to take the shot, as well. Was there anybody else there? What was the day like? And just all these different things," the Australian actor recalled.
Viewers of the Hulu series will also recognize other pivotal historic touches, such as the book depository where Oswald took the shot at the president from the sixth floor (which is a museum now — the show actually filmed the scene from the seventh floor). The show uses hundreds of extras to fill Dealey Plaza, the location of JFK's motorcade when the fatal shot rang out. "11.22.63" also recreated the unforgettable footage of the assassination captured on private citizen Abraham Zapruder's home-video camera.
"There are little details that people are going to pick up on," Webber said. "People who are up to date on their history and know this story really well — because it is such a part of the American psyche — are going to really love these little details that we put out there."

Mitt Romney faced the consequences of opposing Donald Trump during Tuesday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
Last week, Romney made a nationally televised speech imploring fellow Republicans not to vote for Trump during the primaries. That was just part of the Republican party's efforts to stop Trump's almost-certain win of the party's nomination.
In an act of genius, Kimmel adopted his popular "Mean Tweets" segment for Romney and presented him with messages directed to him from Trump and Trump supporters.
The 2012 presidential candidate was a good sport about it, and even flexed the rebuttal skills he's honed from a lifetime in politics.
Mitt Romney had his chance and blew it. Lindsey Graham ran for president, got ZERO, and quit! Why are they now spokesmen against me? Sad!

In the midst of the Simpson case, Clark was also going through a fight for her kids.
"I was goingthrough a custody battle," she told Vulture. "And a divorce. And, yes, it was very difficult. On that particular subject, both of us voluntarily don’t talk about it because it’s better for the kids."
In the episode, Clark tells the court that she can't go late because she has to get back to her kids. This leads to some unkind remarks from Johnnie Cochran. Clark then fires back at Cochran in front of everyone in the court.
"I can't remember," said Clark about the scene. "Could it have happened? Oh, yes. It certainly could've happened. And if Johnnie had smarted off at me, I certainly would have had a retort. So all I can say is, it's probably true."
A big conflict of the series up to this episode is Marcia and Chris discussing if detective Mark Furhman should be put on the stand. Chris continues to voice his disapproval this episode.
"That's not true," Clark said. "That's what comes from [Jeffrey Toobin's] book and is just absurd. And Toobin doesn't know. He made that up. Toobin's idea was, why did we even have to call Fuhrman? And that comes from somebody who really doesn't know a thing about trial work. We cannot get away with not calling Mark Fuhrman. That's a silly, ridiculous thing to say."
Keith Olbermann is so disgusted by Donald Trump's politics that he's moving from his Trump-owned building.
"I’m getting out because of the degree to which the very name 'Trump' has degraded the public discourse and the nation itself," the former MSNBC and ESPN personality wrote in a new opinion piece for the Washington Post. "I can’t hear, or see, or say that name any longer without spitting. Frankly, I’m running out of Trump spit."
Olbermann said that he has lived in one of the New York City Trump buildings for nearly nine years. He describes his time there as "largely happy" and says the staff has been "excellent." But the effect of Trump in this election has just gotten the better of him.
"I’m merely moving out of one of New York’s many buildings slathered in equal portions with gratuitous gold and the name 'Trump,'" he said.
The liberal commentator does acknowledge the irony of blaming Trump for "coarsening" politics when he was the one who "promulgated a 'Worst Persons in the World' list for most of the past decade." But Trump has taken things further in his mind.
"That’s how vulgar this has all become. It’s worse even than Worst Persons," he said.
And while he's had a basically uneventful stay at the Trump building, Olbermann writes that a recent Trump-ordered repair became a nuisance. The owner's men showed up to install a revolving door at the back of the lobby, which should've taken three weeks but actually "stretched past three months."
"So at least there’s this comfort," Olbermann pointed out. "If there is a President Trump and he decides to build this ludicrous wall to prevent the immigration from Mexico that isn’t happening, and he uses that same contractor, it’ll take them about a thousand years to finish it."

UPDATE: According to TMZ, Dr. Luke's attorney denies reports that Sony is dropping Luke a year before the contract is up. The attorney said, "Luke has an excellent relationship with Sony. His representatives are in regular contact with executives at the highest levels at Sony, and this has never come up."
--
According to TheWrap, Sony will be ending its contract with producer Dr. Luke — real name Lukasz Gottwald — a year before it's up for renewal.
The company has been facing backlash during the duration of the legal battle between Dr. Luke and Kesha, who is signed to his record label under Sony and is seeking to leave after accusing him of sexual assault.
In February, a New York judge denied Kesha's injunction request that would have allowed her to continue making music under another label while the case is ongoing.
The singer hasn't released music since 2013 and is currently required to release six more albums under Dr. Luke's Kemosabe Records.
Celebrities such as Adele, Lady Gaga, and Demi Lovato have voiced their support for the artist, and Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to help with the legal battle.
A small group of fans gathered outside of Sony's New York City headquarters to protest in support of Kesha February 26 .
Neither Sony nor representatives for Dr. Luke confirmed the news to TheWrap.
Sources told the site that a mutual negotiation will most likely be required to break the contract and said, "No court has convicted this person [Dr. Luke], so there may not be any legal basis to terminate an agreement. It would have to be mutual."

Style is inherently subjective.
Who does it better? Who is better dressed than somebody else? When it comes down to it, style is really half nailing the basics and half personal preference.
With that in mind, we've decided to rank the best-dressed men in the world according to pure style, keeping in mind how well each nails the basics of tailoring and grooming.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but these are the 15 guys who we think are the most stylish in the world right now:

Michael B. Jordan has been killing the game in his recent red-carpet appearances and promotions for his 2015 movie "Creed."
He's since taken an interest in men's style, and we have to say that he's a natural — enough to earn the last spot on our list.
It's no surprise that the most stylish man in the NFL would make a list like this. We respect Newton's irreverent take on press-room dress, which includes a lot of bare ankle and loud patterns.
For that reason, he's dabbed his way onto our list.
Gosling already? Yes, the dreamiest man in show business is good enough to only take No. 13 on our list.
But that doesn't mean that "The Big Short" actor is any slouch. We respect his penchant to switch it up, wearing shawl collars with no tie and a top that can be referred to only as a "pajama shirt."
