Superlatives keep piling up for actress
Katherine Heigl who on Thursday was named the “most desirable woman of
2008” by lifestyle Web site, AskMen.com.
The
site, which boasts seven million readers a month, said it polls users
annually for a list of 99 women who best embody the qualities of an
ideal girlfriend or wife, as judged by intelligence, humor, charisma
and ambition among attributes.
“This
year’s list really goes to show who (our users) relate with and find
beautiful, charming and personable,” said AskMen.com’s editor-in-chief,
James Bassil.
Heigl, 29, starred in last year’s hit comedy
movie “Knocked Up” and currently is in theaters with romance “27
Dresses,” playing a woman who is always a bridesmaid but never a bride
until she finally finds love.
She
won a supporting actress Emmy, U.S. television’s highest honor, for her
role as Dr. Izzie Stevens on hospital drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” and has
been nominated for two Golden Globe awards for the same show.
Following Heigl on the AskMen.com list was
model Alessandra Ambrosio in the No. 2 position and just behind her was
British actress Kate Beckinsale, who has starred in films from action
adventure “Pearl Harbor” to comedy “Click.”
Rounding out the top 10, in the following order were:
4. Eva Mendes
5. Jessica Alba
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Jessica Biel
8. Rihanna
9. Marisa Miller
10. Adriana Lima
