WHO'S HOTTER: (round three) Paul Rudd or James Dean?

PAUL STEPHEN RUDD

Why is he hot?
The "aw shucks" factor. He's got the cutest face you've ever seen, and his own brand of goofy charm. And if you're into men with abundant body hair, he's your guy (and if you're not, he's still super cute). He's also a good actor. He's had a loyal fanbase ever since Clueless.

Hotter than:
Anderson Cooper
John Stamos

Hottest role:
I gather this is a tossup between Clueless and Wet Hot American Summer. Unfortunately, I've seen neither. But I know they both have die-hard fans. I don't think Rudd plays the gay guy in Wet Hot; if he did, this would be an easy call. Where do you guys think he's hottest? I'm ignorant on this one.

JAMES BYRON DEAN

Why is he hot?
In the immortal words of Catherine Keener's Maxine: "YAWN, figure it out?" He's JAMES DEAN. He needs no introduction. If you don't know why he's hot, that's your own fault.

Hotter than:
Matt Damon
Marlon Brando
(and just about everyone else)

Hottest role:
Well, there are only three to choose from. Sadly. Of those three, I'd go with the one he wasn't oscar-nominated for: Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause. The thing with Sal Mineo kinda clinches it (for more info on their relationship, click here).
