Sexiest of all list that doesn't include people who pre-date the camera? I doubt we will be taking about Jennifer Aniston in 20 yrs let alone a few thousand. And it's well known that these lists are targeted to the magazines readership and the top spots are awarded in consult with PR reps and not merit.

I guess creating a Top "x" list and putting some one on top that does not deserve to even make the list is a good way to get the general public talking about that person and your magazine.

... so who are you arguing for, besides Cleopatra and Helen of Troy?

Those are two classic examples, but I was actually thinking of Jane Seymour and Sri Suriyothai. I suppose you can add Marie Antoinette and Brunhilde to the list too.

The thing is, I do think Jennifer Anniston is pretty. Not classically beautiful, but pretty in a very conventional way. That's not a bad thing. But this wasn't "prettiest", this was "hottest", which means extra sexy. And Jennifer Anniston usually doesn't play especially sexy roles - I haven't seen Terrible Bosses, so I can't speak to that.

Off the top of my head, hotter actresses: Monica Bellucci, Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek, Christina Hendricks, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Trisha Hilfer, Lexa Doig.

You know what, I'll yield on the point of "hotness" vs "beautiful"/"pretty", because you're right.

I guess I would switch back to one of the "exotic" types....but now I can't for the life of me think who that might be.

What I found interesting is that Angelina Jolie didn't even make the list (or did I miss her). She frequently tops these kind of things. Perhaps the poll was stormed by Jennifer Annistons fan club.

I'm truly sorry. For all of you*.

Obviously this person has a big FriendzBöner for Jennifer Aniston, and is sadly biased. If we are going to pick the #1 sexiest woman of all time, the most obvious and only possible choice for the #1 slot would be Sophia Loren (#47? Really?). If you think anyone else is better suited for the role, you are wrong. Sophia has been popping up in sultry roles for over 50 years.

Some might accuse me of holding some sort of candle for her. This is not the case. I hold no more attraction for her than I might for Dita Von Teese, Cyd Charisse, or Natalie Imbruglia (three other people I expected to find on the list, but didn't). My judgement is based solely on her body of work. It speaks for itself.

I was banned from that site when I asked them how men functioned with their heads up their asses all the time.






I didn't really, but it's not showing up for me.

Hahaha, my good friend Mike is Senior editor there, and that is his article. I could ask him about his reasonings, I suppose...but as was said before, everything is subjective with these lists, and in the end, they are essentially worthless.

What's funny is that there have been several interviews with people from the entertainment industry. When asked the question, "Who is better looking in person than on screen or in pictures?" the answer is almost always Jennifer Aniston. So we may not be the best judges.

Talking with him...the flak he is getting from this is god damned hilarious. He is the most down to earth, regular guy, and people are just blowing up on this thing at him. Magizine loves it becasue of all the traffic it generated, but hot damn, he is putting up with a lot of shit from people hahahahahahaha

Well, even historically that list makes no sense. Number one should definitely have been either Marilyn Monroe or Sophia Lauren. They are literally famous for defining beauty.

In most cases making lists like this is better for you and your business if it's kinda off center than if it were right on.

If I made a list of "Best Games of 2011" I'd put MW3 as #1, move Battlefield 3 to like #5 and not include Skyrim at all. Then I'd sit back and watch the idiots call me all sorts of names while I raked in the sweet, sweet ad revenue.

Dave's got a good point here.
It's like bad jokes in Christmas crackers. Tastes are so diverse that to try and tell a good one can divide the room, but an intentionally bad one, nearly everyone will agree is bad. Maybe this is like that.

Yeah, you may get people talking/get more traffic for a short while, but then you become a joke and lose alot of your own ground to stand on. Eventually ending up in fewer traffic than you had in the first place.

"Men's Health? Aren't those the dipshits that called J. Aniston the hottest woman of all time?"
