Cosmo's Fun Fearless Males

Twelve men were honored at the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Male Awards Monday night and Nick Lachey was one of them. They say he gave the best acceptance speech...

Lachey received an "awww" from the audience when he said, "It is a little ironic to receive the Fun Fearless Award right now, because in some ways, I'm feeling that at this point in my life, I've never been more afraid." He thanked friends and family for supporting him.

Seated in the audience was Lachey's Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano, who said his speech was "honest and endearing, self-deprecating and humble."

Also honored: Brett Ratner, Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard and Patrick Dempsey. Howard said on the most fearless thing he ever did, "Stepping out of the womb and saying, 'I can handle this' was pretty fearless. Out of half a billion sperm, I got to that egg, hijacked my mother's body and greeted the world."

Patrick Dempsey was Fun Fearless Male of the Year. All the men were chosen "because they're the perfect combination of smarts, wit, talent and good looks," the mag said.
