Here’s another woman I don’t get the affection for: Emmanuelle Chriqui. Why? Sure, she’s cute, and she’s got some style and a slender, lithe little body, but beyond that, who cares? I just don’t see why she has any kind of “it” factor. Anyway, Chriqui made the number one spot on AskMen.com’s poll of 6 million men to figure out the hottest, most desirable women in the world. Last year’s number one was Eva Mendes. The year before that, it was Megan Fox. So… men have crappy taste in women. Don’t believe me? Here’s this year’s top ten, in descending order: Marisa Miller, Kate Beckinsale, Alessandra Ambrosio, Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Penelope Cruz, Cheryl Cole, Eva Mendes and Miranda Kerr. I can get on board for Penelope, but the rest of the women… just ugh.
They’ve got it!
Popular men’s site AskMen.com has polled its staff and 6 million reader votes to compile the top 99 most desirable women of the New Year. The site explains its simple criteria: “What does the modern man look for in his ideal companion?”
Who made it to the top?
Actress and mom Jessica Alba took the #5 spot, model Alessandra Ambrosio #4, actress Kate Beckinsdale #3, model Marisa Miller #2….
The top lady? Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui!
Chriqui (whose parents emigrated to Canada from Morocco), 32, said of the honor, “It’s not just about being ‘hot’ but about being a well-rounded woman. That’s really empowering!”
2009’s winner, Eva Mendes, landed in ninth place.

Other notables: Adriana Lima (24), Leighton Meester (75), Blake Lively (85), Kristen Stewart (21) and Megan Fox wannabe Ashley Greene (41). Olivia Wilde was at 49. Scarlett Johansson at 23, Natalie Portman at 17, Jessica “I’m so Gorgeous” Biel at 27, Mila Kunis at 32. And for those keeping score of ye olde triangle, Angelina Jolie is at 88 and Jennifer Aniston didn’t place. At all. And I actually feel like that sucks, but though I don’t think much of her, Aniston is far superior to many of the women on the list (here for the whole slideshow). Sigh. Men are idiots.

Amazing that the first movies parents took their tots to in the 30s and 40s were the early Disney features. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Dumbo all exploited childhood traumas. Parents disappear or die; stepmothers plot the murder of their charges; a boy skips school and turns into a donkey. Kids were so frightened by these films that they wet themselves in terror. Bambi, directed by David Hand, has a primal shock that still haunts oldsters who saw it 40, 50, 65 years ago.
