Filed under: Beauty, Britney Spears
Readers of the popular British magazine Hello — 949,800 of them — voted Britney Spears the Most Attractive Woman, topping Angelina Jolie, while fellow Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera was voted the second-most elegant, behind Madonna.
So no more need for that Burberry trench, Brits — the most beautiful and elegant accessories you can have, apparently, are extensions from a back alley in Chinatown and make-up that would make RuPaul drool with envy.
Most Attractive Woman
1. Britney Spears
2. Delta Goodrem
3. Sporty Spice and Athina Onassis
4. Angelina Jolie
Most Attractive Man
1. Sean Bean
2. Hugh Laurie
3. David Tennant
4. Nick Carter (!) and Brad Pitt
Most Elegant Woman
1. Madonna
2. Christina Aguilera
3. Sarah Michelle Gellar
4. Princess Mary of Denmark
And in future polls, Hello readers vote Lindsay Lohan as “Most Chaste Woman,” Tom Cruise as “Most Humble Man,” Clay Aiken as “Most Virile Man,” Paris Hilton as “Most STD-Free Woman” and Sean Penn as having “Best Sense of Humor”!

Good God. What were they thinking?
The only one I agree with is Sporty Spice being ranked high on the “most attractive” list… she certainly has turned out to be the most beautiful of all the Spice girls, in my opinion. The talent was already plainly clear.

Wait a minute, I bet there’s like a little asterisk, that footnotes something like, “chosen from the tabloid stars…”

Oh well, they have bad teeth and lousy food, is it any wonder they think Britney is attractive?

Mid,
I’m a natural smart ass-I grew up in NJ.
The only thing I’m ever ON is a lovely glass of red wine.
Cheers!

Candy, those photos you chose to go with this info. are hilarious! Britney should be doing ProActiv info-mercials. Sean Bean–most attractive man? The Brits are mad at Becks for moving to LA, maybe?

I’m British and I can assure you that this is a mass case of “taking the piss” (mocking with irony or sarcasm thrown in). Hello is basically bought by two demographics: 1) Working class women of the type who buy stuff from Franklin Mint (”this exact replica of Princess Di’s clitoris with Austrian crystal accents, just 6 easy payments of £12.99″). 2) Students and graduates of top universities who buy it to gawk. Undoubtedly the second lot of readers predominated in the poll for Sexiest women and the first group predominated in the poll for Sexist man. Intriguingly the Elegance poll looks evenly split. What is great is that instead of just inventing the results based on which publicist promised which interview or photos, the British notion of “fair play” kicked in and the results were published fairly truthfully as polled - I reckon the editor slipped that Princess Denmark bint in there for veracity though. Should have been the tattooed, circus performer Princess Stephanie of Monaco. She’s the Britney of royalty and is a hot slut.
BTW British people are glad to be shot of David Beckham, his hideous tattoos and his dreadful high-pitched voice.
Note to those making remarks about British food: those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. At least British food decomposes normally. A pal who works for the EPA told me a horrendous story about going to inspect a landfill and seeing a pack of pristine Oscar Meyer hot dogs that “showed no sign of being made of organic matter whatsoever”. Shudder.

Bee Hind : my parent’s generation have crap teeth; it’s true. However, people in my age group (25-40) have decent teeth. We just believe in looking natural rather than having fake teeth that came from the same box of chiclets as everyone else. Amy Winehouse and Pete Dougherty don’t count, crackheads have the same teeth the world over.

Actually I do know what she looks like, but is she a singer? Perhaps I don’t dig her sound.

BB-
I thought the poll was a joke because I thought Sean Bean was Mr. Bean-apparently it’s someone else.
And, here in America we can only get Princess Di’s ass, but it IS gold-plated!

Those crazy Brits! I love them.
Hello! often gives me a great laugh.
And, their readers’ polls are no worse
(or better)than those in US magazine,
or any of our other gossip rags.

Sorry to generalize BB-
I happen to think Michael Caine is hot,
so what do I know?
Though Amy Winehouse has bad teeth,
but that may be the drugs.
(P.S. I don’t eat hot dogs.)

Bee Hind: actually Brits may all have bad teeth - I bashed a front tooth a few weeks ago and was too miserly to pay $$$ to get it checked out. I noticed this morning that it seems to be developing and odd black “vein” down one side. Time to pop my hair up in a beehive and look out for a pair of blood-soaked ballet pumps to slip my feet into methinks.
Vern: Sean Bean is the dude who gets killed at the end of the first Lord of the Rings movie. He’s OK, but the Sceptic Isle has hotter male talent like the pint-sized, orange-stained Peter Andre.

Thank you for the info-I may have been ignorant of LOTR but I do know Willy Wonka-
