Random Acts of Ali Larter: Maternity cover by Ryan Reynolds

So as you know, Ali’s a bit busy being pregnant – and trying to sell vodka at bus stops:

So being random is hard to fit in (although the above seems quite random). Last week, maternity cover was provided by Scarlett Johansson. However, this week, she’s too busy lolling over strange objects, and being airbrushed as GQ‘s “Babe of the Year” to be doing anything too random:

But fortunately, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has stepped in this week to breach the gap by taking his top off.

Reynolds, who normally spends most of his time being charming, intelligent, funny (basically, Canadian), was also voted sexiest man alive this week by People magazine (George Clooney nicely sent his congratulations), which is quite random. Think what his and Scarlett’s kids are going to be like.

The actor does expect a few new perks at home with his wife of two years, Scarlett Johansson. “Now it’s going to be, ‘Sexiest man, take out the garbage.’ That does sound better,” Reynolds says. “The most difficult part is going to be organically working this title into a conversation with random strangers.”

See? How are men around the world supposed to be content with their lives, knowing that Ryan Reynolds is out there being so much better than they are? It’s just not fair.

But most randomly, he’s decided to be Green Lantern and become an interplanetary crime fighter this week by wearing a ring. There’s a trailer, too, in which Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively co-stars. Cruelly, she’s dyed her hair brown. That should be a crime.
