NEW YORK—In an effort to boost the local man’s self-esteem, People magazine reportedly did single buddy Dominic Johnson a favor Thursday by naming him the “Sexiest Man Alive.” “Sure, Sterling K.

And hey, at his age, that’s not nothing. Sure, he’s no Hudson Williams, but he’s a good-looking dude, right? Right? I mean, he’s definitely one of the best-looking guys in our friend group.
