On Horiwood.Com we showcased the Top 10 and  FHM’S TOP 20 MOST SEXIEST WOMEN IN THE WORLD for you. Now here’s the next 30, which round out the Top 50 names of show biz to look out for in 2009 for varying degrees of beauty. My one major criticism is… why is BEYONCE the only African American beauty listed in the Top 50? Come now FHM… be proud of your dark sisters too.

21. Mila Kunis… the girl from that 70s show, is still a favorite even as the voice of Meg in Family Guy. When you’re hot… it’s just too hard to hide it. Kunis exemplifies that she’s an unforgettable beauty.

22. Lindsay Lohan… whether you love her or loathe her, Lindsay Lohan brings the Young Hollywood storylines every week that America loves. She’s one of the most scrutinized celebrities in the business, and she  handles it all well, (or badly) at just 22 years of age.  Like Britney Spears, it’s Lohan’s tremendous strength of spirit, to handle fame’s spotlight we admire, that reveals her beauty somewhere from deep within her fragile frame.

23. Kristen Kreuk… of Smallville is tiny, petite but full of dynamite in the beauty and brains department. She has a Dutch dad and Chinese momma, perhaps a precursor to what the Gosselin girls could do in show biz. Asians rock!

24. Anna Friel… the actress of ABC’s Pushing Daisies is as cute as a button. The Foreign Press think so too, awarding Friel a golden globe for the role.

25. Freida Pinto… is just one of thousands of Bollywood beauties. Her role in Slumdog Millionaire, reminds us here in America, that some of the world’s most beautiful stars EVER are actually found in India and not Hollywood. Pinto bridges both worlds. Fierce!

26. Ali Larter… her Heroes role, showcases her looks well alongside Hayden Panettiere.

27.Summer Glau… the Texan’s beautiful turn as the sexy terminator in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, cements her place this year in our consciousness on the beauty radar.

28. Charlize Theron… South Africa’s Oscar-Winning beauty still shines.

29. Salma Hayak… our Mexican beauty is now happily married and is the Queen of a fashion empire. She’s lusciously curved and her personality is mucho smart. She should be in the top 10, but I guess motherhood, takes you off the hot list with shallow magazine types somewhat.

30. Kim Kardashian… last year’s #1 most googled American in the world, comes in at #30 on the list this year of Sexiest Women. Overseas, Kim Kardashian is an amazing ambassador of American culture, although FHM doesn’t think highly enough of her. She is! 

31. Kate Winslett… 2 golden globes and an Oscar too… says it all really!

32. Jessica Simpson… because she doesn’t care if anyone thinks she’s fat. Simpson is great for women in show biz!

33. Beyonce Knowles… she should be in the top 10, but she’s rich now (earning $167 million over the last 2 years), so I guess Beyonce, America’s reigning performer and triple threat, must share the spotlight with the younger ones this year, like Angelina Jolie has to also. That’s healthy!

34. Sienna Miller… some call her a home wrecker but when you see her play with her amazing sense of humor that can transform with ebonics so easily in that Ali G hip hop way, Sienna Miller’s beauty is that she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

35. Christina Arguilera… when she sings, there’s no denying her beauty.

36. Carmen Electra… just because she’s a survivor… and she just is.

37. Gisele Bundchen is the world’s highest paid supermodel. But magazine’s like to punish her this year. Bundchen is only ranked #37 although her earnings don’t reflect that. She’s Top 10 material. I guess being married to Tom Brady, means you have to be the envy of magazine tabloid editors. As this result clearly shows. Gisele brings a touch of Brazil to the heights and runways of American beauty and glamour. Fierce.

38. Cameron Diaz… who can forget Something About Mary, and Diaz’s trademark throw-away beauty to always induce and share a laugh with her fans. She’s priceless. 

39. Blake Lively… because Gossip Girl is young ‘entitled’ America. She brings it!

40. Hilary Duff.. she’s appeared in 20 films and produced 5 albums. Her beauty is in her ability to deliver consistently,without public melt downs. Wow! She’s rare.

41. Keira Knightly… no one can heave in a tight corset in a period European film better than Knightly… but she does need to eat more. She held her own, as the female object of desire in a leading line up of blokes and vagabonds in the Pirates of The Caribbean film franchise. That’s no mean feat. She’s an English Rose.

42. Vanessa Hudgens… despite being attacked by blogger Perez Hilton from Day 1 in Hollywood, Vanessa Hudgens is a knock out stunner, whose support for Zac Efron as an emerging Hollywood man, is just as beautiful to observe in their close friendship as Vanessa often forgoing her own career’s development to give their relationship A+ attention. She’s selfless and sweet, a tad bit naughty but always beautiful and inspiring with it.

43. Monica Bellucci… can still outshine women half her age and she chooses the hardest film roles ever, to showcase her inner beauty as well. So talented.

44. Shakira… her brains and intellect, are fiercer than her hips… they don’t lie  as to how Shakira knows what beauty is,  and how she can make the realms of beauty much more deeper with her philosophical mind and the beauty of her Colombian thoughts. She also gives millions to charity. What a star!

45. Holly Valance… because Australian pop stars and actresses are amazing, always!

46. Rachel McAdams… because Canadians rock and because her role in The Dark Knight, shows she can hold her own with the box office heavyweights. 

47. Katherine Heigl… regardless of what tabloids say about her, Katherine Heigl is known by all crew on the set of Gray’s Anatomy to be one of the nicest people to work with ever! That’s some testament to the gray-cious star who considers team, over her solo career in film, time-and-time again. She should be ranked in the Top10 of this list. She’s a silent sleeping, megastar, with major box office clout. When she’s unleashed, there is nothing that Heigl will not achieve in film and at the box office. Mark my words, she’s a superstar.

48. Mischa Barton… can go from fugly to stunning in a single week. She’s still fascinating Hollywood,  years after bailing from reality TV series, The OC.

49. Amber Heard, the blonde Pineapple Express star is noteworthy.

50. Jennifer Aniston… although her connection to Brad Pitt and by proxy Angelina Jolie has allowed Aniston to ride their coat tails for the last 5 years, Aniston can still command $8 million to appear in a rom com. Does that make her pretty? She represents the spurned spinster in us all. lol!
