Well it’s that time of year when all the votes counted (over 10 million) from men and women in the world who vote for FHM UK’s Sexiest Woman In The World, here is the top 10 list - remember this is the UK version of FHM.
10. Freida Pinto
This year’s highest new entry, the Mumbai model made her film debut in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire last year and rocketed straight into number two on everyone’s list of favourite Indians (Sachin Tendulkar remains strong in first position, but she nudged Gandhi down to third, who can only expect to drop further if he continues his stubborn refusal to contemporise his image like Madonna does). Now BAFTA-nominated, the 24-year-old had previously been presenting a television travel show and appearing in Skoda adverts.
9.Anna Friel
Crashing back into the Top Ten, the 32-year-old star of massive US series Pushing Daisies could never have expected how far she would go after finding fame while lezzing off in scally misery fest Brookside. After a dalliance with a ménage à trois alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tribe, Hollywood came calling. Anna is now starring in this summer’s big blockbuster Land Of The Lost alongside Will Ferrell.
8. Kristin Kreuk
Last year’s shock entry was Elisha Cuthbert, reaching the No.4 spot simply by dint of breathing. This year, another 26-year-old crashes into the Top Ten - again, it seems, solely on the basis of TV nostalgia. It can’t be Kristin’s role in Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li. Nope, us neither. So it must be her role as Superman’s girl in Smallville driving the votes. Or Superman himself, repeatedly pressing the “submit” button on FHM.com like a demented supersonic jackrabbit.
7. Elisha Cuthbert
She’s been beaten, kidnapped and shot at. Hell, she’s even been chased by a cougar. But you can’t keep a good girl down, so, come ‘Day Seven’, Kim Bauer’s back, pouting provocatively and running chestily. And, fantastically, 24 isn’t this coquettish, Top Ten stalwart Canadian’s only showcase. No, the 27-year-old also stars in The Six Wives Of Henry Lefay, a ‘comedy’ where she juggles six stepmothers at her father’s funeral. Hmmm, maybe you should stick to 24, or download The Girl Next Door - Elisha plays an ex-porn star.
6. Adriana Lima
Now entering her tenth year on the catwalk, Brazilian supermodel Lima is so perfect that her government uses her picture to make Brazilians not mind about all that City Of God stuff. A strict Catholic, she was believed to be the only 28-year-old virgin left on the planet until she married on Valentine’s Day this year. Lima volunteers in an orphanage in her home town where the small boys ask her for cuddles, look down her top and then high-five each other the second that her back’s turned.
5. Keeley Hazell
It’s a mystery of modern times that Keeley, despite consistently featuring in the 100 Sexiest’s Top Five, has never nabbed the top spot. Is it because she’s too nice? Has her green campaigning diluted the appeal of what is, without doubt, the UK’s most revered frontage? Or is she just in limbo? She’s overtaken David Beckham as the most Googled Brit in the US. The 22-year-old is taking drama and psychology classes. She’s started her own modelling agency. And she’s single. Our girl’s doing just fine.
4. Britney Spears
Like a slightly unhinged chameleon, Britney Spears can change her appearance at the drop of a hat. From schoolgirl to diva, through doting mother to… well, yes, there may have been a slight blip when she and K-Fed split, what with the hair shaving, bingeing and showing off the contents of her ‘purse’ to all and sundry. But Britney’s stormed back up the list and - after a rumoured £60,000 makeover - she’s looking, if not her best, then a pretty good approximation of what she once was.
3. Jessica Alba
Motherhood causes strange things to happen. Things like the Razzie-nominated The Love Guru. But, sprog dropped, it’s back to business as usual for our 2007 champ. After a guest appearance in the US version of The Office, she’ll be dusting down her leather chaps and gyrating her way back into nerdish hearts as Sin City 2’s Nancy Callahan. But does she take her work home with her? “Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers.” Shame. But at least you’ve got more in common than you thought.
2. Megan Fox
After a winning debut in last year’s competition, the fire’n'ice beauty has spent the year waltzing, clothes-free, around Simon Pegg in How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, playing a possessed cheerleader in the forthcoming Jennifer’s Body and generally making good boys want to be very, very bad: “I like the bad-boy types. The guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar.” Well, he sounds like a cock to us.
1. Cheryl Cole
Nadine. Kimberley. Sarah. Nicola. The other members of Girls Aloud, in case you’ve forgotten. But it’s a forgivable slice of amnesia, given that 2008/09 has been all about Cheryl - never mind the bandmates. In the last 12 months, thanks to taking The X Factor by storm, the gorgeous Geordie has become Britain’s most wanted star. And it’s easy to see why. With her flawless skin, high cheekbones, wafer-thin waist, perfect pins and criminally underexposed cleavage, it’s like God himself decided her native Newcastle was looking a bit dowdy, and needed a beacon of angel-like beauty at its centre. Add a dirty laugh and ability to repel Simon Cowell, and it’s no wonder that the 25-year-old has usurped even the mighty Keeley Hazell as the UK’s sexiest female. She’s also been named Britain’s Best Dressed Woman by Tatler, won a Brit Award, graced the covers of FHM and Vogue, climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief and claimed the title of Heat’s ‘most fanciable female’.
And now, she accepts perhaps the ultimate accolade for womankind: the wide-eyed, reverential acclaim of FHM’s readership. Such was the enormous surge in votes during the early weeks that, within a fortnight of the polls opening, she had an insurmountable lead. Seriously: at this rate of nationwide domination, it can only be a matter of time before the country converts en masse to a new religion: Cherylanity. We’re imagining black and white Toon Army monk habits, and prayers that end in “howay”. In fact, there may only be one question left: is she perfect? No, she has a flaw. His name’s Ashley. Just say the word, Cheryl. Just say the word.
And that’s that, I think Cheryl Cole definitely deserves the top spot. Thoughts?
Pop star Britney Spears has been linked to her backup dancer, Chase Benz, after reports swirled across the internet that the two were dating.
His mother is putting all of the rumors to rest, insisting that Chase has a girlfriend, Tessa Campbell, and the two are engaged.
Campbell is reportedly upset and infuriated at the claims.
Diane Benz says, “Chase has already got a girlfriend. Her name is Tessa Campbell and she is a fantastic girl. Chase comes back to Tennessee whenever he can to see her. They’ve been going out for three years - she’s the same age and they are great together. She’s so sweet.”
Don’t think any of this is beyond Britney, either. This wouldn’t be her first fling with a backup dancer. She started dating Kevin Federline when his girlfriend, Shar Jackson, was still pregnant with their second child.
The rumors had Britney dating Chase for the past three weeks. A source said, “Britney was all over Chase from the word go. He was determined to keep things professional but Britney has been making it difficult by being extremely suggestive. Chase has been dating Tessa, his childhood sweetheart, for over three years and she is livid about the reports…as is Chase’s mom. Diane has ordered him to stay away from Britney and made it clear she’s not welcome in the family home.”
I am glad she is back on track but I kind of miss the days when there would be about two or three stories a day about Britney Spears when she was all crazy, so I am happy to have some news on her.
In case you can’t tell by the title of this post and the image above, Britney has got the photoshop treatment for her new ad campaign for Candie’s sadly though we don’t have the before and after photos like we did with Kim Kardashian.
Speaking about the campaign Britney said , “I had so much fun shooting the Candie’s for Kohl’s campaign. I got to wear the cutest clothes and they are perfect for summer!”
Meanwhile in other news, Britney apparently got all cozy with one of her back up dancers during her Circus tour when her father, Jamie Spears ,was off doing business meetings.
Does the back up dancer bit sound familiar? It should because thats exactlyy how she met Kevin Federline all those years ago, this new guy is called Chase Benz and is 21-years-old.
Chase’s grandmother says he is “a true gentleman and has a big heart. She’s lucky to have him in her show — and Chase just adores her!”

Photoshopt or not, she looks hot and I sure as hell hope Britney Spears isn’t crazy/stupid enough to go down the road of dating another backup dancer.
Britney Spears has been very quiet recently, probably because she is on on tour, but the old crazy Britney made a brief appearance during last nights Circus tour in Washington, D.C .
Skip to about 0:50 in the above video and yes you will hear right, Britney actually told the crowd “Merry Christmas” despite it being March, I honestly don’t think she even knows where she is or when it is.
In other Britney news,Maxim Germany must be feeling the recession because they are re-using images of Britney from around 2003.
In case you haven’t heard, Britney’s legal costs for getting her life back on track have cost her around $2.7 million, probably more during the initial 11 months of the court-ordered conservatorship her father has on her life.
The fees have been split between about 17 lawyers and firms who have helped in her personal or business life in the past 14 months, on Monday attorneys representing Britney’s dad, Jamie spears, presented their bills which totatled more than $1 million.
Oh and Britney Spears‘ divorce to Kevin Federline cost around $417,000. No wonder she doesn’t even know what date it is and Maxim have to reuse old pictures (they probably couldn’t get her to pose for new pictures).
After cheating on Justin Timberlake, getting married to Jason Alexander for 55 hours, marrying Kevin Federline and dating snapper Adnan Ghalib, Britney Spears has really had her share of man troubles.
She says that she’s on the hunt for a new man and a friend of hers says that she “feels like a failure without a guy who she can love and loves her back.”
She’s reportedly obsessed and desperate to find a man as she gets ready to go on her “Circus” tour. Daddy’s probably got all of her prospects on lockdown, my guess is that he fears she’ll procreate with another deadbeat.
Another friend says, “She looks around and sees other women her age in successful relationships and says to herself, ‘Why can’t that be me?’ Finding a man she can love is becoming an obsession for Britney. Britney really wants to get her life back on track. She has her family around her and a couple of assistans, but no one to really share things with.”
The source adds, “I think Britney would be happier living in a trailer park, looking after her kids and working as a hairdresser as long as she had a guy by her side who really loves her.”
I agree. Britney definitely belongs in a trailer park.
