Whoever is put on the cover of People as "Worlds Most \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Man (or Woman) HAS to, repeat, HAS to be the latest flavor and is in some movie (hopefully a big blockbuster) coming out. At least this is what I’ve read, and I tend to believe it. I don’t think they pick someone not in the public eye. When they picked whatsisname last year as Sexiest Man, the pickings last year were really slim and he was the best of a very short short list. But he was a current day actor and was in something, so he was the winner practically by default. I would pick Christina Hendricks. I think she is otherworldly gorgeous, but she’s not appearing in a summer comic book movie. ---

Five woman who are relatively famous and I think are more beautiful than Gwyneth Paltrow: [Jessica Alba](http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.138440.1313984412!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/alg-jessica-alba2-jpg.jpg) [Halle Berry](http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver/Breitbart/Big-Hollywood/2012/10/24/berry/halle-berry.jpg) [Jennifer Connelly](http://media1.santabanta.com/full1/Global%20Celebrities(F)/Jennifer%20Connelly/jen1v.jpg) [Keira Knightley](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j2oHvq_jOgY/UQKvw6f3BtI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/fxNkPMHAaS4/s1600/Keira-Knightley-2012.jpg) [Amanda Seyfried](http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/28100000/Amanda-Seyfried-amanda-seyfried-28154671-1920-1440.jpg) ---

OK, so plenty of folks have said Scarlett Johanssen already, and I fully endorse that, but I’m amazed that I’m the first to mention Helena Bonham Carter. > [@](#): > > Quoth **Chefguy** : > > Keira Knightly? Seriously? I guess if scrawny women with underslung jaws are your type, then yes. Honestly, I’m really not sure what makes Keira Knightly so hot. By most objective standards, you’d expect her to be somewhere between “meh” and “pretty nice”. Somehow, though, she manages to pull it off. I think it must be something in the way she moves, since she never looks as good in still photos. Oh, and to round this out to five, as requested by the OP, I’ll also say Christina Hendricks and Mila Jovavich. Though they’re to the point where others might be debatable. There’s nothing wrong with Gwyneth Paltrow, meanwhile, but I can think of at least two classmates of mine who are hotter. ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > Personally, for some reason I’ve never liked Paltrow’s looks. I can see that objectively, she hits all of the basic human beauty notes and has the angular, thin, symmetrical face typically prized in human beauty. She’s just never done it for me. I kinda know what you mean. Even in roles where she’s drop-dead gorgeous, there’s a timidity that she doesn’t seem to be able to shake. She just seems to have no spirit or feistyness. (Odd, since her mother had them in spades.) ---

But Ms. Paltrow is, after all, the actor who plays Tony Stark’s girlfriend. So, it is not surprising that, at this moment, she is the sexist woman alive. Because, Iron Man, y’all. ---

Charlize Theron, come on now. and sometimes a so so in real life actress looks deadly hot when made up. Kiera Knightley in King Author of course if I saw her walking down the street in that garb I would give her all kinds of room.

Oh gee just five? Christina Hendricks, Katy Perry, Zooey Deschanel (heck even Emily for that matter), Emma Stone, Kate Winslet, Zoe Saldana, Kate Walsh…and that’s just the famous ones. There are tons of obscure musicians, actors, and everyday people that are more attractive than anyone who’s made the cover of People. I remember a plus size model saying that the real reason women are picked by fashion agencies is not what men or even other women find attractive; it’s what shows off a outfit best, and that curves actually hurt a model because they get in the way. That’s why what we think is attractive and what we’re told is attractive differ so much. ---
