Fancy Face Fray: Ryan Gosling VS Bradley Cooper

The land is in a sexy frenzy following today's shocking news that Bradley Cooper - not Ryan Gosling - has been dubbed People's 2011 Sexiest Man Alive. Recounts have been demanded, tears have been shed and BuzzFeed has launched a Change.org petition.

We admit, it's been a day of shattered concentration, our feeds clogged with mentions of RyGo. But when we discovered the petition, "People Magazine: Admit Ryan Gosling should have been named Sexiest Man Alive 2011," we realized just how bloody RyGo fans were willing to become.

"2011 was clearly the year of Ryan Gosling," says the petition, demanding "that People Magazine give Ryan his own magazine cover." Over half of the 1,000 required signatures have been penned, and here's why some of the petition supporters are signing.

Mark Parker wrote, "what's the first thing you think of when you hear 2011? Gosling."

"ABSURD. This is clearly poor decision-making season," posted r r.

Dakota Docherty hinted at her opposition of People's choice. "BRADLEY COOPER SUCKS."

"Ryan made me believe in love again," said Amy Sly.
