Eva Mendes crowned "Most Desirable" in poll

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Eva Mendes was crowned as the most desirable woman of 2009 on Wednesday in a poll by online men's magazine AskMen.com that organizers swear is not all about looks but overall qualities.

Mendes, 34, topped the online magazine's 9th annual list of "Top 99 Most Desirable Women" after AskMen.com readers cast more than 10 million votes to rank the women with the best qualities for the ideal girlfriend or wife.

She took the top slot from actress Katherine Heigl after placing fourth last year while actress Megan Fox ranked second and Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller came in third place.

James Bassil, editor-in-chief of AskMen.com, said the list was a "pulse-check" of the women that readers were not only following but also perceived as more than just a pretty face.

"Obviously good looks are one quality but intelligence, ambition and humor also count," Bassil told Reuters.

"There are women in their mid to late 30s on this list who may be old by industry standards but you see more mature women on this list. The younger women getting a lot of play on gossip sites haven't had the time to accumulate the achievements that a lot of these women have."

WHY SHE IS NO 1 ?


“You can’t take your eyes off her.” For every cliché, there is an example that makes it true, and for this one it’s quintessential girlie-girl and diosa latina Eva Mendes. From head to toe, her beauty is unique, dramatic and urgent. When on-screen, she doesn’t need to do much before we’ve willingly handed over to her our complete and devoted attention, to the exclusion of the rest of the world.

In short, the more of her we see, the more we want. It’s no surprise, then, that Eva Mendes is the Most Desirable Woman in the World.

Gisele Bundchen (The Sun)Brazil

Supermodel asal Brazil Gisele Bundchen kembali berpose bugil. Kali ini ia berpose di hutan buatan dengan dedaunan merambat di tubuhnya. Pose itu dibuat untuk iklan produk sandal.

Tak hanya semata bagi kebutuhan penjualan produk, pose seksi itu juga sekaligus kampanye penyelamatan Hutan Atlantik, Brazil. Kampanye itu diselenggarakan oleh The Ipanema, produsen sandal plastik tersebut.

Hasil penjualan produk tersebut sebagian akan disumbangkan untuk menyelamatkan hutan. Sekitar 25.500 pohon akan ditanam di Hutan Atlantik, Brazil dari 100 jenis yang berbeda. Demikian kutip detikhot dari Stylefrizz, Kamis (23/10/2008).

Dalam pose tersebut, mantan kekasih Leonardo DiCaprio itu tampak cantik dengan taburan daun di sekujur tubuhnya. Hal tersebut melambangkan hutan yang akan diselamatkan.

Tahun lalu, Gisele juga melakukan hal yang sama. Ia berfoto bugil dengan balutan air di tubuhnya. Pose itu ia lakukan untuk menyelamatkan sungai.
