14 DAY TRIAL // Last year, when popular e-zine made its annual chart of beautiful women public, “Transformer” beauty Megan Fox placed first by public consensus. This year, though, things have changed a bit, with Megan scoring only second place in the popular chart, having been dethroned by another gorgeous actress, Eva Mendes.
Eva has long been renowned for her stunning looks, which even prompted her to say, more than once, that they were working against her in the movie industry, in that she was only being offered roles that lacked substance and played only on the physical aspect. For 2009, though, she can be thankful for all that Mother Nature gave her, since being at the top of AskMen’s chart is not a feat any female celebrity out there can brag about, it has been noted.
“’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.” a post on the website reads of why Eva was chosen as the most beautiful woman of the year that has just begun. The conclusion can’t be but one, as the same post reveals: “In short, the more of her we see, the more we want.”
Eva’s runner-up is, as noted above, Megan Fox, the 22-year-old who shot to fame with the robot flick “Transformers,” and who has often been compared with a younger version of Angelina Jolie for her full lips and piercing gaze. The rest of the top ten chart includes Marisa Miller, British glamour model Keeley Hazell, Anne Hathaway, Alessandra Ambrosio, Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Kristen Bell and, to round off the chart, Kate Beckinsale, a regular in such AskMen polls.
Of course, the fact that the top 10 is packed with such breathtaking beauties does not mean that the other 89 entries in it are to be overlooked. Far from it, AskMen actually says. For a complete view of all the winners, go here.
