Here are two men whom you may not recognize and may not ever hear about again, but to whom you may one day want to say thank you.They were awarded together the 2005 Nobel Prize for medicine because they established that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacteria and not stress. It means you can be cured. You do not have to spend the rest of your life eating babyfood and staying sober. Hurrah for

This is a photo of a beautiful boy. He's considered the latest Italian sex symbol, although this photo doesn't promote that image so well.A little Google time for images, however, reveals that he's the man of a hundred faces and appears to be an entirely different person depending on the image you choose.Sure, he's an actor and should be capable of some of that, but the differences in Scamorcio

Another real guy, and accessible to the United States readers.Rowan is another Brit, like Reid, and is also sitting on top of the world. What is it about that position and British men?He cooks, ladies, and makes wine and beer. He's in a highly technical job and likes the relaxation of the kitchen and the stillroom. I know him from the cookery pastime. Polite and funny and there you go. What

Let's get at the chefs again. There's just something so nice about a man who can really cook. Tony recently made news again when he took over Michael Ruhlman's blog to talk about Food TV Network. Within days that post had over 500 comments, including some from Bourdain in Patagonia. Presumably Patagonia was for his travel show.He's a famous and accomplished chef who also write about cooking

Time for some straight up male beauty taken neat.Bova was a swimming champion who turned on a dime to acting and for once it worked. Born in 1971 at Rome, that makes him just about old enough to watch without wincing. And watch we will, because there probably isn't any male in movies today who is more beautiful than Bova. It also seems he might be a decent guy, a family man and good to work

This might be the nicest man in Paris.If you feel like hanging out in cafes and bistros, you may very well do better with "Monsieur Chocolat" than "Monsieur MovesinonyouatCrazyHorse." Witty, kind and a great cook who can amuse you with a tale of finding the right cake container for moving oeuvres d'art in the Paris Metro. He knows where to eat, he knows what to drink.

From the beginning to the end of his career, his private life was as striking as his acting.I wasn't alert to the beginnings; on Broadway, where only those who went to New York plays would have known about him, nor yet his first films, "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront." I don't remember even hearing about them from the older women in my life. They may have been just a bit too

Bolle is Italy's primo ballerino, which simply means first male dancer. Bolle is generally said by the critics to be very elegant and extraordinarily supportive of the ballerinas with whom he dances. He doesn't usually get points for acting, but it may well be that properly supporting the ballerina who is praised for her acting is good acting. His unusual height allows him to partner taller

My vote goes here for the single, all-around most attractive man ever. Courtesy www.facade.comSeems like everything about him was a part of it. The slight British accent that remained forever. His height and carriage. The face which had enough variations from the ordinary to photograph and film well in black and white. The humor that seemed to go where he went so that even in a serious role,

I do think he is really fine. Born in Kentucky, living in France. That seems a leap. I have actually seen and liked Depp in a couple of movies, but he usually makes movies I don't see. I did once think I'd like him to cut my hair. I think it might be best to just look, because he doesn't take to being bothered.

I think the French are making a mistake. The don't portray their cyclists apart from their bikes and their gear.After you've lived in a cycling mad culture for a while, you know that there are some exceptional athletes involved, but if you never see them off a bike, they tend to seem boyish. Not to say that being boyish is a bad thing, but it appeals to a quite narrow slice of womanhood. So

Actor, musician, writer, director, this Frenchman at 33 seems to have done it all. He was a protagonist in Le Divorce, which had an international release and in Time to Leave, a more recent film which may come to you. There is a great nude poster of him for his film "Le Temps Qui Reste" if you've a mind to look at it. It's quite unusual.

This mild-mannered, ordinary guy is one of the most successful television personalities in Italy.Cortesia biografia.leonardo.itI have found him quick-witted and easy on his guests.

I don't remember when Gérard Depardieu looked like thisCourtesy of le-papier-a-gaumet.comBut I think it doesn't matter a whit. I don't think anybody loves him for his beauty.
