New Republic has a feature on Lebanese pop singer Haifa Wehbe entitled “Oriental Sexpotism.” It dubs her “the sexiest woman in the Arab world.” Unfortunately, it’s behind a subscribers-only firewall.
Undaunted, I decided to do a bit of research. Here’s what I uncovered.






I’m sure sure that’s enough to definitely establish Haifa Wehbe as the world’s sexiest Arab. She’s only somewhat better looking than Wafah Dufour Bin Ladin, for example. Still, she’s pretty hot.
It also occurs to me that she and David Schwimmer, the World’s Sexiest Jew (male category) should hook up. Together, they could bring peace to the world’s most troubled region.
Rachel Stevens and David Schwimmer are the hottest Jewish woman and man, respectively, according to a recent survey. TMZ:
PEOPLE has its beautiful people and Maxim has its Hot 100. And now UK dating service SomeoneJewish.com has a list of the hottest Jewish celebrities.
The news from the web site’s survey is A LOT better for men than it is for women. On the list of 10 Jews whom other Jews would like to date, British pop star Rachel Stevens tops the female list, followed by Caprice from VH1’s ‘The Surreal Life’ and Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz. The male ranking is a much more mixed bag. ‘Friends’ star David Schimmer tops that list, followed by … Woody Allen. ‘Ali G’ star Sacha Baron Cohen comes in third.
SomeoneJewish, whose tag line is “It’s easy to make simchas happen and your mother happy,” interviewed 200 men and women on the streets of popular Jewish neighborhoods in London.
Not exactly a scientific study. But, surely, there are some hotter Jews than this?
Hottest Jewish Women
* Rachel Stevens
* Caprice Bourret
* Rachel Weisz
* Gwyneth Paltrow
* Lisa Loeb
Hottest Jewish Men
* David Schwimmer
* Woody Allen
* Sacha Baron Cohen
* Anthony Costa
* Jeff Goldblum
I’ve never even heard of Caprice Bourret. And there’s not a more desirable Jewish man on the planet than David Friggin’ Schwimmer? With Woody Allen nipping at his heels?!
Oy veh.
