Blind Item: Top 5 Beards from 2000-'10

Is there anything more manly than a beard? I mean, think of a lumberjack, the manliest thing on earth, I bet you conjured him up with a beard. Beards can be a sign of strength like when it comes to chuck norris. They can be a sign of wisdom like with Gandalf the Grey. They can be awkward like on any asian. They can also be the source of a persona like with Kyle Orton.

Kyle Orton: Master of the Neckbeard.

There have been many great beards throughout history: Jesus, Plato, Lincoln, Hemingway. But the next 5 beards are the best of the past decade.

5. Zach Galifianakis- I put him at 5 because he shaved it on SNL, but thanks to superior greek body hair it's already grown back to it's former glory, like some kind of follicle formed phoenix.

4. Gerard Butler (King Leonidas only)- When I saw 300 I did two things, punched the first persian person I found, and told myself I want a beard like that. God damn did that beard kick so much ass, I think that beard was 80% of the reason those Spartans lasted that long. That thing looks like it could deflect a direct hit from a spear.

3.Jayson Werth- Now, if you're gonna call a bias on this one, look at that beard, Werth looks like he should be storming a beach with bunch of vikings. Ian Lapierre gets and honorable mention for looking like a James Bond Villain with that bald head/playoff beard combo.

2. Rick Ross- Tha Boss, Ross' beard looks like Kimbo Slice's went to a barber. Slice would be on this list too, but I figured I'd only put down people who actually won in their respective trades.

1. Conan O'Brien- Coco's unemployment beard needs to make it to his new show come november, I mean, if the masturbating bear can't I don't see why the ginger beard can't either, maybe NBC has a Sitcom planned for it.
