US magazine People has declared Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, star of The Proposal and the forthcoming Green Lantern, as the “sexiest man alive.”

Reynolds has also appeared in several other blockbuster movies, such as Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Smokin’ Aces.

The 25-year-old feature has been an annual hit for the magazine and it’s the first time Reynolds has featured.

Speaking of his achievement, Reynolds declared “this gives my family entry into teasing me for the rest of my life.”

The award has been held by some big Hollywood names, with George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp topping the list in recent years.

“The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers,” Reynolds explained.

“The sexiest thing about Canadians is that there’s an inherent ability to be self-deprecating. That has served me well in my career and personal life.”

Fellow actors seem to be fully behind People’s decision to put Reynolds at the top of the list.

George Clooney revealed that he is ”very happy for him” and included  ”I’m also happy that it’s not Brad.”

Reynolds has also starred as a US contractor, working in Iraq who is buried alive in the film ‘Buried’.

Once engaged Canadian singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette, he married fellow Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson in 2008.

Recent reports have suggested that the celebrity couple have been going through a rocky period in their relationship caused by hectic work hours.

One source revealed that “they are working through relationship troubles caused primarily by work schedules that keep them apart.”

A lack of compromise on both parts isn’t helping either, according to one insider: “Nothing is going to change unless Scarlett and Ryan can learn to compromise — and they won’t.

“Scarlett won’t cancel anything she has coming up or wants to go to, and neither will Ryan.”

“They’re struggling to see eye-to-eye on almost anything,” a source told US newspaper the National Enquirer.

“From when to start a family — he’s ready, but she isn’t — to her smoking and what she sees as his reckless motorcycle riding.

“What’s making matters worse is that their busy careers are keeping them apart, so they get really out of sync.

“It’s gotten so bad that neither of them is hurrying home just to start fighting again.”

It seems all the celebs at the moment have either just had a child, pregnant, or desperately considering parenthood!

Pregnant Couple Number One:

Gareth Gates and his new wife Suzanne have revealed they are expecting a baby girl in April. It is thought that the Suzanne fell pregnant the day after their wedding last year.

Gareth, now 24, said: “at twenty weeks we were pleased to discover that it was a girl. I was so happy. I think Suzanne wanted a boy. I was in floods of tears.

“I thought we’d enjoy a few months together before babies came along but I couldn’t be happier. Suzanne wanted to start the day after the wedding!”

31-year-old Suzanne told OK! Magazine: “Well, you just don’t know how long it could take. It could have taken years so it was best to start trying straight away. If you talk about starting a family, then start it, don’t beat around the bush!”

Pregnant Couple Number Two:

Rapper Nas has also confirmed that his celeb wife Kelis is also pregnant.

Nas says he is thrilled about the prospect of a child with his wife, famous for her song ‘Milkshake’ a few years back.

This will be the 35-year-old rapper’s second child, as he also has a fifteen year old daughter by a previous relationship.

Kelis has previously admitted she was reluctant to start a family because of the effect it would have on her figure, stating: “I want a whole bunch of kids. But I want to enjoy my size eight body while I can.”
 
Who has a brand new bundle of joy?

On top of this, ‘Groovejet’ singer, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, has just given birth to her second son.

The singer, daughter of former ‘Blue Peter’ presenter Janet Ellis, gave birth nine weeks early after a difficult pregnancy. She has been suffering from potentially fatal pregnancy related illness, pre-eclampsia.

Her son is said to weigh a tiny 2lb 2oz, but is said to be doing fine.

“Sophie has just had her second little boy. He was early, nine weeks early, but he is doing fine. He is doing very well,” her mother told press.

Who wants more?

And finally, 44-year-old actress Sandra Bullock has revealed she still wants children before it’s too late.

The actress is famous for starring in many Hollywood hits, including ‘Speed’, ‘Miss Congeniality’ and ‘Premonition’, currently helps to raise her husband’s three children from two previous marriages, but says she still wants to have children herself.

She originally put off having children to concentrate on her charity work, but now is beginning to get broody.

She said: “I have family in spades. Everything we do is about the kids. I haven’t had children biologically. I had shut that off – then I met Jesse and it turned back on again. I was like, ‘Oh, it’s that feeling.’”

However, the couple haven’t ruled out adoption if she is too old to have children naturally.
