Eva Mendes is AskMen's Most Desirable of 2009 – Who Should Have Been #1?
AskMen.com released one of my favorite features of every year, its Top 99 Most Desirable Women list this week to crown Eva Mendes the new winner after Katherine Heigl took the crown last year (who doesn’t even make the Top 10 this year) in a list that I got to contribute to on the editorial side.
While Mendes is no doubt attractive, I have to say that seeing her top out this year’s list is even more disappointing than Heigl taking the top spot because of the exceptional Top 10 that precluded her this year.
10) Kate Beckinsale (ok, with you so far…)
9) Kristen Bell (getting better…)
8: Rihanna (two steps forward, one step back… still progress)
7) Scarlett Johansson (back on the right track with a must have…)
6) Alessandra Ambrosio (don’t know who you are, but ok…)
5) Anne Hathaway (for some reason, this still makes sense…)
4) Keeley Hazell (only Keeley could be underrated at #4…)
3) Marisa Miller (unless your name is Marisa Miller and you seem underrated at anything below #1…)
2) Megan Fox (or your name is Megan Fox… wait for it… wait for it…)
1) Eva Mendes
(wah wahhhh….)
With a Top 10 as good as this year’s, I actually had a lot of anticipation clicking to the #1 spot, only to say, “EVA MENDES?!?!?!” So in the tradition of last year, here are some of the names that I would have liked to have seen come in a little higher.
95) Elizabeth Banks (one of the hottest girls in the game right now, come on now, AskMen!)
81) Katherine Heigl (dropping from #1 to #81 is a little ridiculous and no one deserves that, even if I thought she was overrated last year..)
78) Anna Faris (just personal choice, she had me at Scary Movie…)
79) Aubrey O’Day (call her a little trashy looking, but very little about the ex-Danity Kaner isn’t hot…)
47) Carrie Underwood (until Carrie breaks the Top 10, I’m going to keep wondering why some people try and deny the fact that she’s physically one of the most flawless blondes out there…)
41) Hayden Panettiere (can’t really explain this one, but the media makes me think she should be higher…)
22) Evangeline Lilly (this is nit-picky, but there’s very little that anyone can argue to keep her out of the Top 20)
Some interesting ones:
- Leighton Meester (#54) beats out fellow Gossip Girl castmate Blake Lively (#59)
-Non-traditional hottie list regulars that made this list included Christina Applegate (#51), Elisabeth Hasselbeck (#56)
- Brunette Katy Perry (#38) beat out blonde list-makers Jessica Simpson, Julianne Hough, Carrie Underwood, and Taylor Swift.
- Christina Aguilera (#35) stomped Britney Spears (#90), despite the fact that Britney is still prettier.
- Nice to see hottie Mila Kunis
(#27) getting some recognition as she becomes something other than Jackie to all of us.
- No love this year for Amanda Bynes, Rachel McAdams, or Lauren Conrad, despite the fact that fellow The Hills castmate Audrina Patridge made the list (#68)
