Salma Hayek voted Hottest Celebrity
Buzz
Young and pin-thin celebs may line the glossies at the checkout counter, but when it comes to Tinsel Town's sexiest, neither attribute seems necessary, if even desirable.
If Encino, Calif.-based polling firm E-Poll Market Research is to be believed, the average age of Hollywood's 15 sexiest celebrities is 36. And unlike the shrinking divas of young Hollywood--a cadre that includes Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and the Olsen twins--most of the women on E-Poll's list have something else in common: curves.
Topping the list is shapely Latina Salma Hayek. According to the polling firm, which provides appeal rankings for more than 3,000 celebrities (both men and women), 65% of the U.S. population would use the term "sexy" to describe the 40-year-old star. To put that in perspective, the average celebrity garners a 15% rating on the E-Poll index. And there's no question she has her male counterparts beat: at 39%, Matthew McConaughey may top the celebrity men in E-poll's exhaustive database, but he ranks only 41st overall.
And while anything but ugly herself, Hayek scored big with ABC's freshman dramedy Ugly Betty. In addition to her role as the show's executive producer, she won over audiences as Daniel Meade's love interest and women's magazine editor Sofia Reyes. Off-screen, Hayek is carrying the baby of billionaire fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault.
She's not the only 40-something on the list. Fifth-ranked Halle Berry and 14th-ranked Pamela Anderson, both 40, made it, as did Elizabeth Hurley, 42. Hurley tied for the ninth slot on the list.
