10 hottest men in showbiz

continued from page 3
Luke Wilson

This rugged actor recently starred in hit comedy The Royal Tenenbaums with his older brother, writer/producer/actor Owen Wilson (they also acted together in Luke's 1996 debut Bottle Rocket).

Fast facts:

He dated the recently separated Drew Barrymore, with whom he co-starred in the forgettable romantic comedy Home Fries, in 1997-98.

Luke has been dating Gwyneth Paltrow since last year. But is Gwyneth too much of a party girl to stick with one man?

Russell Crowe

This 38-year-old New Zealand-born party boy is not only nice to look at, but he's a good actor too. The best combination. His breakthrough role in the star-studded 1997 film LA Confidential established Russell as the kind of guy who you wouldn't kick out of bed. His starring roles in The Insider, Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind have established him as a top box-office draw.

Fast facts:

His nickname is Rusty.

His rock group is named 30 Odd Foot of Grunts.

He dated actress Danielle Spencer from 1990 to 1995.

As the world already knows, he dated Meg Ryan, 40, following her public split from Dennis Quaid in 2000. Then he publicly dumped her. Or she dumped him. Whatever.

The Quick and the Dead was his first American film. Star Sharon Stone held up filming on the Western until Crowe could join them.

Taye Diggs

It's hard to decide if 30-year-old Taye Diggs made a more memorable impression as the object of Angela Bassett's desire in his 1999 screen debut How Stella Got Her Groove Back or as the tantric sex evangelist in the 1999 fast-paced comedy Go. Frankly, it's a toss-up - but oh so fun to think about.

Fast facts:

Taye started out in the hit Broadway musical Rent after earning a degree in musical theatre.

As of April 2002, Taye is engaged to singer/actress Idina Menzel, whom he's been involved with since the two met on the set of Rent in 1996.

Taye has divided his time between films and television - he guest starred as sexy lawyer Jackson Duper in TV's Ally McBeal.

Taye was a cast member at Tokyo Disneyland before he got the job in Rent.
