There has been much mooning and dreamy talk about Robert Pattison (Twilight) and Chris Pine (Star Trek, The Princess Diaries 2) over recent weeks, and while that’s all well & good, I want to add one of my own – Simon Baker.

Young Simon (Baker-Denny) first came to my attention in Aussie Soap E Street in 1989 and like a fine, fine red wine, has simply improved with age. Even playing bad boy Christian Thompson in The Devil Wears Prada did not divert me and with twinkling eyes and ‘ever-so-naughty’ smiles abounding in his current lead role as Patrick Jane in the Mentalist, is it any wonder that the baddies always crumble…I know I would…sigh!!!!!

ps…he’s quite a good actor too, no really he is…truly!
pps…I learned today that he is only 2 days older than me, making him a fellow Leo/Rooster – surely his wife and three children can’t compete with that?
ppps…J has Keira Knightley to go weak-knee-d about – so by my calculations, we are even…
