No I'm sorry, I can't accept that either.

The "AskMen" website has named its "Most Desirable Women of 2008." Well, I think we all knew I wasn't going to let that pass without comment.

Now. Leaving out some faves of mine who, I concede, simply aren't well-known enough to top such a list (for example Charisma Carpenter, Amber Benson and other Buffy babes).

And that dammit, if her father was going to be on the ticket this year Cate Edwards certainly would have made it.

And some, like Mia Sara, have simply been out of the spotlight for too long.

But I'm still left with a question or two. Such as:

What, no Kate Winslet? To be fair-she was, apparently, one of the 99 nominees-she just didn't make it to the top 10 in the hearts of AskMen's users. I blame my fellow Americans, because the English know she has the most desirable body in Britain.

Anne Hathaway was also a nominee who didn't make the top 10 of their list-even though for some of us, she's reason enough to believe in god and angels.

But anyway, here is their top 10, presented in reverse order:

10. Adriana Lima. Desirable? Yes-if you want to give all other women in the world who aren't Brazilian models anorexia...

9. Marisa Miller. Never heard of her. Hang on...ok, apparently she's a Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model.

Contestants were selected according to their intelligence, humor, charisma, and ambition.

She certainly looks funny...

8. Rihanna. I admit it-I missed the whole Rihanna thing.



She's sexy, yes-love the eyes-but...eighth most desirable woman of the year?

7. Jessica Biel. Well, I've talked about this. She's kind of a joke to me.

6. Scarlett Johansson. I've talked about her, too. And I have a question. How many bad movies does she get to make before she's no longer considered "hot" in Hollywood terms?

I mean ok, yes, she's got a body that makes grown men whimper (myself included), but...

5. Jessica Alba. To me, Jessica Alba is like that girl at the gym who you always see, and enjoy watching work out...and then one day you talk to her and discover she has the brain of a frozen pretzel.

4. Eva Mendes. Now we're talking! I love her.

3. Kate Beckinsale. I really don't care for Kate Beckinsale. Mostly because I believe she's a snob who thinks, to use the vernacular, her shit don't stink.

2. Alessandra Ambrosio. See Adriana Lima.

1. Katherine Heigl. Well obviously, yes, I think she's good-looking, but...(see Rihanna).
