No. 99

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
This Brit hit it big with the underground success of Bend It Like Beckham. Now, Hollywood has come calling, with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl being her first, but certainly not last, blockbuster.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
When forced to choose a damsel in distress, Knightley would be our first choice. Young and fresh, she has that maiden-like innocence that is so damn attractive. Put her in a corset and give her long, curly hair, and she would induce more seizures among men than a Japanese cartoon. -
No. 98
Kelly Ripa

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
Once a soap star on All My Children, the riveting Ripa is now known as the eye candy and charming side of Live! with Regis and Kelly.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
Those skirts and business ensembles don't do justice to Kelly's sex appeal. This is unfortunate because Ripa, with her amazing smile, bubbly attitude and sexy eyes, is by far the hottest talk-show host on television. Whether she's talking about the state of Eastern European economics or a night out with her family, we could listen attentively for hours. -
No. 97
Angie Everhart
Last Year's Ranking: 23

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
Pulling double duty as a model and actress, Everhart impressed us with her stints in Last Action Hero, Jade, Love in Paris (the 9 ½ Weeks sequel), and in a bikini in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit IssueĠin 1995.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
Everhart's red hair alone makes us short of breath. Long, dark and unmistakably unique, it's icing on the cake when we're dealing with a woman who can also add long legs and a shapely waist to her list of assets. When we saw her naked in Love in Paris (we thought it was a comedy), we could think of nothing else for days. -
No. 96
Jill Arrington
Last Year's Ranking: -

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
With a passion for sports, beautiful sports announcer Jill Arrington has been as fun to watch as the NFL games she covers on CBS, where her insightful comments and interviews highlight her journalistic skills.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
Sports and hot women is the best combination known to man since meat and sliced bread. Arrington embodies a killer one-two punch as a tall blonde whose knowledge of the gridiron game rivals that of any couch potato. How could any football-loving man pay attention to the game when a woman of her beauty and charm dominates the television? -
No. 95
Sheryl Crow
Last Year's Ranking: -
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
The guitar-strumming, poetic-minded, Grammy-winning singer and songwriter has emerged as a pop legend thanks to singles like "All I Wanna Do, ""Everyday is a Winding Road" and "My Favorite Mistake." Crow is a musical force thanks to her catchy lyrics, contemporary beats and strong personal beliefs.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
The strong, outspoken type, Crow keeps most of her attractive features hidden. It is this sense of intrigue that makes us want to tear open her CD jackets upon release -- anything to get more than a glimpse of her amazing eyes, long wavy hair and, most of all, tight little body. She pulls off our "Sexy Rocker Chick" fantasy in every way. -
No. 94
Gwyneth Paltrow
Last Year's Ranking: 44
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
One of Hollywood's leading ladies, Paltrow could be seen in Se7en and A Perfect Murder before earning her stripes as an Oscar-winning actress in Shakespeare in Love. In a brief but very productive career, she has since shone in Bounce, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Shallow Hal.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
We are interested in Gwyneth not only for her blonde hair and sparkling eyes, but because she presents the ultimate challenge to men. Nothing would please us more than to woo this famous actress, whose body, angelic face and amazing sense of style more than make up for what the tabloids have printed about her. -
No. 93
Fernanda Tavares
Last Year's Ranking: -
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
Before Gisele Bundchen entered our lives, this Brazilian model was the talk of the town, with her modeling deals with Versace and Dolce & Gabbana, and magazine appearances galore.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
Let's see... Tavares is Brazilian, has a perfectly toned 5' 10" body and is a professional model. If that's not enough for you, she looks incredible without being wafer-thin. Herein lies her genuine appeal: as a woman with a healthy body and a gaze so hot it could melt an igloo, Tavares is bona fide, old-school babe, not just a supermodel. -
No. 92
Garcelle Beauvais
Last Year's Ranking: 99
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
You can spot this incredible Haiti native in reruns of The Jamie Foxx Show, current episodes of NYPD Blue, and as a Will Smith's love interest in Wild Wild West and the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She has even turned up the heat as a model for Calvin Klein and Clairol.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
There is no hiding Beauvais' beauty. Tall, leggy and full-bodied, she would look great wearing a potato sack. The real moneymaker, however, is her headlight-bright smile, which lights up any room and drives men insane. -
No. 91
Sophie Marceau
Last Year's Ranking: 81
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
As France's most famous female thespian, Madame Marceau combined beauty and grace in such films as Lost & Found, the James Bond hit The World Is Not Enough and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Her most memorable performance, however, was as Princess Isabelle in Braveheart, and men worldwide agree that she is royalty.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
The exotic and romantic type, Marceau has broken the mold to become our favorite French export (well, aside from Laetitia Casta). There is a sense of mystery about her, yet, as France's darling, she draws enough attention to cause whiplash among men wherever she goes. -
No. 90
Cindy Margolis
Last Year's Ranking: 55
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
Why wouldn't she be? Who else can boast about being named "Most Downloaded Woman on the Internet"? Besides gracing computer desktops everywhere, Cindy has a successful record as a former Barker Beauty (on The Price Is Right), a fatally seductive Fembot in Austin Powers, and host of her own raucous, decadent program, The Cindy Margolis Show.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
There's a reason the "Queen of the Internet"'s bikini shots were once downloaded every 10 seconds. Blonde, buxom and beautiful, Cindy is the epitome of the mythical American beach bunny. And with brains to boot, she is also a successful entrepreneur who has been a regular panel member on the now-defunct Politically Incorrect. -
No. 89
Jules Asner
Last Year's Ranking: -
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
Jules was the face of E! Television's spicy traveling series Wild OnÂ… during the height of its popularity. She was then spotted mingling with beautiful, scantily clad folks around the globe, which is why E! kept her around to host its interview show, Revealed. She's even made forays into Hollywood, such as in the male model spoof, Zoolander.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
The beautiful Jules was a great choice as the tour guide of the senses. The provocative brunette is not afraid to look sexy for the camera. We just hope she can look as sexy if we ask her to pose with us on the sands of Saint Tropez! -
No. 88
Sophia Loren
Last Year's Ranking: -
Last Year's List: Click here
WHY IS SHE FAMOUS:
She was already the object of men's fantasies while many of us (or our parents) were still learning how to walk. Having starred in over 70 films, Sophia has evolved from being Europe's most desired woman to an award-winning actress, and still lives on as the personification of feminine strength and timeless elegance.
WHY SHE IS DESIRABLE:
Add Jennifer Lopez, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Monica Bellucci, multiply that by 10, and this is what Sophia represents to past generations. And it isn't hard to see why, even in her golden years. Her beauty and sophistication made her the first international sex symbol; an honor we are quick to recognize.
