People's Most Eligible Bachelors

People's Most Eligible Bachelors
Wednesday June 20, 2001

Benicio Del Toro hit the bull’s eye. Matt and Ben are back in the hunt, and “Pearl Harbor” heartthrob Josh Harnett just made the cut.

Hold on to your girlfriend’s guys, its People's 2nd annual Most Eligible Bachelors issue is about to hit the stands. There's Tom Cavanaugh from “Ed,” who says he's looking for a lady who doesn't need much sleep.

Jason Cerbone got bumped off “The Soprano’s” but he's a hit on the People list. He says, “It was very flattering.”

The jury's also in favor of NBC legal correspondent Dan Abrams. He says, “When I think People magazine and eligible bachelor's. I’m thinking you Ben Affleck and George Clooney. Not the dorky legal guy from NBC.”

Sure Tiger Woods made the par, but you don't have to be a superstar. The list has a cop, a cowboy, a baker, and a ski king risk taker.

People editor, Susan Horsburgh says correspondents scoured the country to find that special single guy. So what do they look for? She says, “They have to be sexy single and successful and obviously no skeletons in the closet.

The People list isn't rocket science. Unless you’re Satish Krishnan, a mechanical engineer at JPL. He says, “I'm thinking to myself man all of the real eligible bachelors must have gotten married last year or something.”
