Happy Birthday, Ian Somerhalder!

We can't lie: Everyone has a crush on Ian Somerhalder. And it isn't simply because this is one Sexy Beast.

It's also because the Louisiana native is taking an active role in helping to clean up the Gulf Coast and is stirring up Emmy talk these days with his performance on The Vampire Diaries. Really, he is!

Of course, it doesn't hurt that he looks like this. In honor of the actor's 32nd birthday, we've posted the following photo montage and we're asking readers to send in their best wishes... if they can stop drooling for a few moments, that is.
