The guys at Askmen.com must have been high on hair dye fumes when they picked Becks as the manliest man of 2007, so we went ahead and made a list of guys who helped our fine gender progress the most over the last calendar year.


10. Robert Rodriguez
Grindhouse didn't exactly clean up at the box office, but Rodriguez's Planet Terror was a fine addition to his already-respectable résumé.
2007 Highlights
• Convincing Rose McGowan to wear a machine gun for a leg.
• Wearing a cowboy hat and not looking like a total douche.
• Convincing Rose McGowan to marry him.



9. Vinnie Jones
When Vinnie was a soccer player he used his fists almost as much as his feet. All that scrapping has made him one of the most believable tough-guy actors around.
2007 Highlights
• Ran around the jungle alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin in The Condemned.
• Didn't get injured and frost the tips of his hair like some other famous soccer players we can think of.




8. 50 Cent
If bulletproof vests weren't so friggin' expensive, we would totally wear one, too.
2007 Highlights
• He didn't beat Kanye in sales, but we give him a ton of credit for not falling into the trap of crossover rap-rock and ridiculously stupid sunglasses.
• Filed a lawsuit against one of those irritating Internet ad companies for using his image in a banner for ringtones.




7. Master Chief
The man behind the Spartan armor is once again giving everyone a reason to go on Xbox Live and swear like crazy with Halo 3.
2007 Highlights
• Made the assault rifle the hot new accessory for this year's holiday season.
• Saved all life in the universe from being completely incinerated. You're welcome.




6. Lemmy
Motorhead's frontman has lived a rock star life that makes Mötley Crüe look like a boy's choir.
2007 Highlights
• Smoked more than any other man alive.
• Had more dirty hotel sex than any other man alive.
• Continued to have the world's gnarliest mole.
