"American Idol" Taylor Hicks is ranked as the No. 1 "hottest bachelor" by
People magazine - and he's looking for love.
The 29-year-old silver-haired crooner tops People's list in the magazine's
new issue, on newsstands Friday. But the "Idol" winner says he'd happily give up
his bachelor days.
"There's been no time," Hicks says of his dating life. "Now, I wouldn't mind
spending the rest of my life with the right woman."
Hicks also wants to find a woman he exchanged glances with on a recent
airline flight. Of the mystery blonde, he says, "We waved and did a double-take
look. It seemed like something out of a movie."
The magazine has set up e-mail and mailing addresses for the mystery woman to
contact Hicks. The singer will also perform the song "Possibilities" in a new
commercial for the Ford Motor Co., it was announced Wednesday.
Other "hot" bachelors - who aren't ranked by the magazine - are
several celebrities no longer involved in high-profile romances, including
Matthew McConaughey (ex-boyfriend of Penelope Cruz), Nick Lachey (formerly
married to Jessica Simpson), Jake Gyllenhaal (who dated Kirsten Dunst) and Kenny
Chesney (briefly married to Renee Zellweger).
The list also includes Ryan Seacrest, Jamie Foxx, Owen Wilson and Wentworth
Miller.
