10) Ben Affleck
You'd think a mid-career tryst with the world's most recognizable diva Latina would up your sexiness quotient. Not so, since the grotesquerie of Ben Affleck's stint with J.Lo is nigh on impossible to forget. The preening nastiness of the "Jenny on the Block" video was bad on its own — and, hey, Ben apologized for that — but there's no erasing Gigli from the historical record. There's no un-seeing Affleck grinning like a doof at Lopez's crotch as she beckons him forward. ("Gobble, gobble.") Once you've cleaned the bile from your chin though, the whole Bennifer thing is actually kind of sobering. Was Affleck's put-on boyishness that alluring back in the Good Will Hunting days? Does the fact that he's a competent, be-stubbled director make him more desirable today? No. Because the guy may be smart and decent, but his public persona is as sexless as a set of Barbie dolls. — J.C.
9) Elisabeth Hasselbeck
The good-looking-but-insufferable Hasselbeck clawed her way into the public eye with a stint on Survivor: The Australian Outback. Unfortunately for us, she emerged from one bush to become a shrill shill for another on ABC's grating kaffeklatsch, The View. The staunchly conservative Phoebus to former co-host Rosie O'Donnell's liberal Quasimodo, Hasselbeck makes for queasily compelling television. Her lack of political credentials (Elisabeth supports her arguments with facts gleaned from the internet) may be forgivable on the national punchline that is daytime TV, but when the McCain-Palin campaign recruited her to introduce the ticket at election rallies last fall, even colleague Whoopi Goldberg raised a denuded eyebrow. A personality this grating is penis repellent, no matter how immaculate the attached golden locks. — B.G.
8) Paris Hilton
For Paris, it must be nice to always know there's at least one person who thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the room. But if she took the afternoon away from the boutiques to come roll in your hay, would you have to reposition the mirrors so she could see herself the whole time? And when you click record on your Flip cam, would she even remember that you were there? Who is the party girl when the party finally ends? One of these days, she's going to need an identity, not just an Am Ex. Still, we have to hand it to her: no one does a better job of reminding us of all the coke in coquette. — J.H.
7) Leonardo DiCaprio
Our mama always told us to be sexy as a man, you've got to be a man. So pretty-as-a-periwinkle Leo might always have that strike against him: his babyface might scream "Snuggle!" but it hardly says "Screw!" And those 'staches he keeps sporting aren't hiding it. Scorsese can keep casting him as a tough guy, but his fine avian features and squeaky voice make it clear he's got less testosterone than Amelie Mauresmo (though then again, so probably does this writer). If he develops some genuine rough around the edges and a few chest hairs, then we'll talk. — J.H.
6) Jessica Alba
"Skinny little Nancy Callahan. She grew up. She filled out." So went the tagline on the movie posters for Sin City, the words positioned under a hip-swerving, midriff-baring Jessica Alba. Alba had been kicking around for awhile on the syndicated The New Adventures of Flipper and then as the star of James Cameron's short-lived Fox series Dark Angel. But it was her scantily-clad turn as Nancy, the stripper with a heart of gold (is there any other kind?) that made the middling actress an international sex symbol. But if talent is sexy, lack of talent is profoundly unsexy, and Alba's appeal has fizzled as her resume has grown. A series of duds (Good Luck Chuck, The Eye, The Love Guru) garnered her an astounding five Razzie nominations in four years, each unappetizing performance driving grown-up, filled-out Nancy Callahan farther from our minds and loins. — B.G.

"Most useless article ever."

LOL commented on 07/07

Whoever wrote that bit about Reese Witherspoon is a drooling idiot who has a filthy minger for a mom!

F.UN commented on 07/07

You know who was/is unsexy? That walking corpse MICHAEL JAKCSON!!!!!!

FTW commented on 07/07

Miachael Savage Weiner is unsexy AND a bigoted mongrel!

666 commented on 07/07

You hit the nail on the head until you reached the finale #1-3.

jgl commented on 07/07

Oh come on, the Reese Witherspoon bit about the rainbows and the puppies was comic genious! Thannks for the giggle..

zb commented on 07/07

Fantastic. This was even better than the Sexiest Ugly People one, and that's hard to beat.

CVK commented on 07/07

The uncanny valley comment was perfect.

KsZ commented on 07/07

Katie Holmes should be #21

KC commented on 07/07

I dunno about Keanu, he was really animated in "A Scanner Darkly" so he's on my sexy list, Leonardo is slowly aging into sexiness, and Nicole Kidman, well, she's tall, and a redhead, of course she's sexy, she's tall and a redhead!

EMC commented on 07/07

Reese Witherspoon is SO sexy. You guys are crazy.

PHM commented on 07/08

Gwyneth Paltrow was like the sexiest woman alive when she was in Iron Man. What a bunch of retards Hooksexup had working on this article.

PHM commented on 07/08

@ PHM - really? sexy in iron man? or, emaciated? have you read GOOP? c'mon!

SPB commented on 07/08

Not sure if I would call A-Rod "beautiful," but otherwise I thought this was pretty spot on!

KRM commented on 07/08

What about Sarah Palin?!! Then again, all the porn knock-offs...guess people do want to screw her.

WLK commented on 07/08

paris put the coke in coquette, i love it :)

rkg commented on 07/08

Nicole Kidman is hot...

CNT commented on 07/08

You had me till Leo. Sure leo used to be pretty boy but now hes a scruffy, tanned sexy beast.

XO commented on 07/09

Jessica Alba is still hot. But a lot of the others are spot on. And Sarah Palin? She is so objectionable in so many ways, but I would still throw my hotdog down that hallway.

RUF commented on 07/09

Keanu Reeves unsexy? Sure, sure. Somebody here hasn't bloody watched "Point Break" enough times, and they should. Or maybe not. Not worthy.

GB commented on 07/09

hysterical stuff...you forgot sienna miller...she is all over the place but nobody in america knows who she is...

gcd commented on 07/09

Beautifully scripted and spot on!

WAM commented on 07/09

Some of these are way off, maybe every other one. I read it just to see how silly the writing could be. I was not disappointed. Hooksexup is circling the drain, or in the case of this article, the bowl..

spif commented on 07/09

You forgot Renee Zellweger

EJM commented on 07/09

So much bullshit the rest is discredited.

PM commented on 07/10

Pity that Lindsay Lohan isn't on this list. Not many can pull off the 40-yr old truckstop hooker look at the tender age of 20-something.

SLM commented on 07/10

@ RUF - Jessica Alba was hot for a minute, but now she just comes off as whiney . why doesn't she ever smile in the pictures with her kid? she's young, rich, pretty and has a beautiful child. she still looks like she just swallowed something bitter. SMILE dammit

KEL commented on 07/10

@SLM - It's hard to imagine anything being hot about the "Prairie Home Companion" movie, but Lindsay in that cowboy hat, making up the lyrics to "Frankie and Johnny" (whether literally or from the script) as she went cranked up the wattage for even that NPR-family friendly silliness. And that train wreck life of hers...she begs to be rescued and ensconced in some sumptuous bedroom...Or maybe I'm too easily pleased.

ew commented on 07/10

Tom cruise not sexy???? What the fuck!!! Did you saw MI:2???????? god dammit!

AT commented on 07/10

Lindsay used to be gorgeous. god those freckles..now, she's a raspy-voiced train wreck. poor girl. eat something, lay off the crazy...

ppp commented on 07/10

i totally agree with every entry to this list. perfect. though i agree with the poster who said that you missed renee zellweger. i like some of these people, but sexy they aren't.

r commented on 07/10

Have never read more weird article. You take a photo from an angle and can make Britney look sexless. Ask my dick to vote, I would say!!

BS commented on 07/11

@WAM.... must you be thinking you are a class? Methink you need your dick / cunt examined.

BS commented on 07/11

Orlando must be banned from ever making a movie again

jazz commented on 07/11

I saw Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban in a shoe store in Nashville a few months ago. The were making out at the cash register. It was gross.

NB commented on 07/11

This list is pretty accurate and makes me feel better for drooling over "ugly" men who encompass unbelievable sexiness.

MR commented on 07/12

I completely agree with each entry on here. Well done, Hooksexup. I've often thought that beautiful does not equal sexy, though many other people seem to think so...simpletons, I say!

LT commented on 07/14

I have to disagree with you using the phrase "date-rapey" in regard to Jamie Foxx's video. I watched it, and there was nothing "date-rapey" about it. Have you heard of beer goggles? People get drunk, they choose to get drunk, and then they sometimes make decisions they later regret. Been there, done that, it wasn't rape. Or even close to it.

CEC commented on 07/14

the fact that JESSICA effing ALBA is on this list speaks for itself. you can do better than this, Hooksexup!

LC commented on 07/14

Agree with most. Disagree with Nicole Kidman, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Orlando Bloom. They're still sexy. Completely AGREE with Jessica Alba. So overrated! She is not sexy.

RE commented on 07/20

Woah! Orlando Bloom? Are you serious?! I have to point out here that you are misunderstanding his career. I think he's apprenticing to be a leading man at this point. Of course he's gonna get out-sexied when he's standing next to the likes of Viggo, Brad, and Johnny. It's not his job to outshine those men yet, he's still an ingenue. If you'll pardon my running with this metaphor his job is to look unthreateningly pretty (the ass kicking elf role aside) and sing one song and then step aside and let the divas own the stage. He'll get there...don't worry. Oh, and please rewatch Elizabethtown!

HH commented on 07/30

"I make no apologies for still liking Shakespeare in Love" Um...I'm sorry, did I miss a public opinion memo, am I supposed to be sneering at this movie now? God forbid a sexy comedy about Shakespeare win an Oscar, right? Ridiculous

HH commented on 07/30

FUCK THIS LIST! YOU HAVE GOTTA BE FUCKED UP. MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ON THIS LIST ARE FUCKING SEXY AND I WOULD BANG EM ALL IN A SECOND MATE. THIS SITE SUCKS CUNT FACE ASS
