On the eve of People magazine's announcement of the Sexiest Man Alive, Showbiz Tonight decided to come up with our own picks for who we think can dethrone Bradley Cooper for this year's coveted title. We broke it down into six different categories.

Veterans: The men of Hollywood who have been making women swoon for years.

Newbies: These guys are just breaking onto the scene and into the ladies' hearts.

Musicians: What's sexier than a guy who can serenade you?

Athletes: From the field to the court and the swimming pool, these men make our hearts go pitter patter in the stands.

Funny Fellas: These men are charming the ladies with their wits and good looks.

Christian Grey?: These actors are contenders to bring the "50 Shades" character to life on the big screen.

Let us know if there's anyone you think we left off the list, and tune in on Wednesday when People reveals its Sexiest Man Alive 2012.
