In a surprise move that will make piano nerds -- and generally scrawny, lonely, odd-looking men -- worldwide very happy, PEOPLE magazine included Communist piano man Lang Lang in their list of the world's hawtest men (no. 1 was that taurine piece of Australian mountain man, Hugh Jackman)
Lang Lang, according to the mag, is hawt.
Roberto Bolle, not on their list, is not hawt, in PEOPLE's universe.
How unfortunate Mr. Jackmans physique should be thus mutilated...

I'd do him. But only on the back of one of his Steinways :-)

Lang lang isn't flatout terrible, but putting him on the sexiest man alive list is pushing it a little too far. He's not hot or really all that sexy. But he's got the list beaten with his cuteness!

Opera Chic! You failed to mention the Gunnster. He made this list this year, much to the mirth of his fans. ;)

Oh my...that is indeed a little bit too far...

People also had a "Sexy A-Z" list, and under O (for Opera) was NATHAN GUNN! I hope you didn't miss that!

Lang Lang sells well and talks to all generations; his message is nice; he attracts millions of kids in China who start playing piano these days; his skills look good and his music sounds good too etc etc
and yet for some reason I don't like Lang Lang :( There is something indefinite and fake about him that rubs me the wrong way.
He puts up a good show but it just isn't IT.
