It’s back! The list you love to hate to love. What a difference a year makes. Several of the ladies who appeared on the 2010 version of this list have been removed. The reasons for several of them not making the list this year is that apparently people out there agreed with us and stopped paying attention to them. We see that as a sign of progress. Unfortunately there was a whole new batch of ladies waiting in the wings to take their place as those undeserving of the praise they receive.

And that’s what this list is all about. It’s not that we don’t find these women attractive. We’d probably take any of them out for breakfast at the local IHOP or overly laugh at a mediocre joke coming out of their mouths. But the reality is that they just aren’t as deserving as the hype they receive from both the media and from fans. This list is all about trying to gain some perspective on these women. Are they sexy? For the most part. Do they deserve all the attention they get? We don’t think so.

Of course, the one celeb that you absolutely love will probably be on this list, but beauty is subjective, so take the into consideration before scrolling down to the comment box and calling us gay. Okay, enough yammering, on to this year’s list.

(Note: If you do happen to be in love/lust with one of these women, you can see more of her by clicking her picture. We, as always, aim to please.)

66 Any WWE Diva (2010 Rank: Unranked)

We get the fascination. They’re athletic. They sometimes do salacious things (though not as much as they used to, dammit). And they’re wrestling each other. Problem is, close up most of them look like free safeties with boob implants and about a pound of makeup on their face. Plus Snooki did as adequate a job with their vocation as any one else on the roster. Not exactly a crowning moment for the WWE gals.

65 Kirsten Dunst (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Kirsten is set to appear in not one, but three movies in 2011. Three! We love the fact that she’s a skinny-yet-buxom gal and that she played a creepy vampire at an age where we were rolling in Big Wheels. But still, have you seen one of her movies?

64 Jennifer Love Hewitt (2010 Rank: 44)

As we have pointed out in the past, the memory is a dangerous thing. It can fool you if you aren’t careful. Sure the memories of J-Love bouncing around avoiding a fisherman with a hook hand are highly cherished. Even the ghosts wouldn’t want to talk to her any more if they didn’t remember that treadmill scene from “Heartbreakers”.

63 Kate Hudson (2010 Rank: 51)

No one ever ranks Kate Hudson on their Hot Lists, but she keeps getting movie role after movie role so a whole bunch of people must like her. They don’t go to her movies or talk favorably about her but, hey, that’s got to count for something. Plus anyone who led to a resurgence of A-Rod’s career deserves nothing but our disdain.

62 Kaley Cuoco (2010 Rank: Unranked)

I like Kaley Cuoco. I thought she killed in Hop. I’d go out on a date with her in a heartbeat. I’d let her do bad things to me. And sure humor is a trait that men find attractive in a woman, but I still have a hard time buying that she is the 13th hottest woman in the world (Maxim). Being the hot chick on a show honoring geeks can only carry you so far.

61 Katrina Bowden (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Esquire readers say that she’s the sexiest woman in the world. Really? The sexiest? In the world? Playing the ditzy blonde on 30 Rock for 10 seconds every five episodes sure carries a lot of weight these days, we suppose.

60 Alicia Keys (2010 Rank: 56)

Alicia is a very attractive woman. Alicia is a very talented woman. When you combine the two men do things like vote her to the #43 ranking of the most desirable women in the world (Askmen). We don’t know about you, but we can name 43 other women we find more desirable and it would take us about 30 seconds. 20 seconds if we do this test at a bus stop in Brazil.

59 Brittany Snow (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Nothing like a spread in Maxim to get men to drool. Sure, she’s pretty — most if not all of these ladies are very pretty — but those guys could take a woman off the street, slap some makeup on her, put her in some good lighting, and then Photoshop the hell out of her and we’d all be saying how hot she is. (Ranked #23 by Maxim, almost twice as high as the criminally underrated and talented Emma Stone.)

58 Whitney Port (2010 Rank: Unranked)

What is with chicks on reality shows that makes men overvalue their sexiness? Yes, Whitney is attractive. But just because you got to see her on your 52 inch doesn’t mean she’s any hotter than a dozen other girls you can actually see in person by taking a walk through your local mall. Especially when her main skill sets are “Being that chick next to Lauren Conrad” and “Orchestrating a bikini slip with paparazzi” (Ranked #62 by Maxim.)

57 Kristen Bell (2010 Rank: 55)

Kristen was ranked #48 by Askmen this year. As in the 48th most desirable woman on the planet. Apparently a lot of men desire a woman who looks like about 10,000 other nice-looking women on the planet. Must be a comfort thing.

56 Keira Knightley (2010 Rank: 53)

If you took a picture of Keira Knightley’s body and showed it to 100 men and asked them if they thought it was sexy, how many men do you think would say yes? Maybe we’re way off, but we’d guess less than half of them. Now take a picture of Italian model Elisabetta Canalis’ body and show it to those same men and what would the answer be? Unless they’re big Peter Pan fans, we don’t love Keira’s chances (Askmen ranked Keira #54, Elisabetta at #74. FHM had Keira at #69.)

55 Maria Sharapova (2010 Rank: 19)

One of these days men are going to stop overrating women based on their athletic ability (see: Daniel Tosh’s thoughts on the matter). Actually that probably will never happen, but I wish they would because there is no way Maria (ranked #80 by Askmen.com readers) should be ranked ahead of UFC sexpot Arianny Celeste. That just shouldn’t happen.

54 Kristin Cavallari (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Kristin, formerly one of the stars of Laguna Beach and The Hills is somehow still garnering people’s attention long after those two shows bit the dust. Now she’s most famous for being engaged to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler ensuring that just when we thought we were done with her, we’re not. Here’s hoping at the wedding, she doesn’t channel her new husband during the bouquet toss, otherwise there’s going to be one very confused little ring boy.

53 Rachel Uchitel (2010 Rank: Unranked)

If there’s one thing we men love it’s a babe involved in a sex controversy. And Rachel Uchitel was the queen of the sex controversy in the last year. She’s also been prone to hitting the beach in a bikini. Both good things, but let’s not get carried away. When Tiger Woods considered this Perkins waitress to be as mistress-qualified as Uchitel was, she should have never been heard from again.

52 Gisele Bundchen (2010 Rank: 54)

I still don’t get how Gisele was the highest paid model in the world last year. Again. Controversial statement alert: She’s got a bit of a man face. And she also got Tom Brady stank on her. When the male yin to your yang takes photos like this on a waterslide, you just lose points by association.

51 Taylor Momsen (2010 Rank: Unranked)

The former star of Gossip Girl has been on quite a roll in the last year. She went from one of the sexiest, cutest pieces of jailbait on the planet to one of the most egomaniacal, most annoying kids on the planet. The good news is that the further along this path she goes, the less people care about her.

50 Kelly Osbourne (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Men sure do love a fat chick gone skinny. And so does Hollywood. Especially when that fat chick is the spawn of another famous person. But did you know that she is the face of Madonna’s fashion line Material Girls? (She replaced Taylor Momsen for reasons already stated). Which leads us to ask, “Umm, why?” Maybe it’s ironic, like selling Che Guevara shirts at Hot Topic.

49 Bridget Marquardt (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Holly has a show in Vegas, Kendra’s dancing with the stars, and Bridget still somehow just shot a pilot for yet another reality show. She’s the only one of the three who wasn’t an actual Playboy Playmate which just proves that, despite his withered frame and approaching senility, Hef knew what he was doing then and what others need to realize now.

48 Hilary Duff (2010 Rank: 31)

Hilary falls into a couple of categories for why I think men overvalue her sexiness. One, she’s a former kinda sexy child star (no pedo), and she’s now a WAG (the double bonus!). We’re just glad she wasn’t born and raised in England or there’s probably be currency with her face on it by now. (Ranked #40 by Maxim.)

47 Amber Rose (2010 Rank: Unranked)

First thing’s first: What. Is with. The hair? I get it that she’s dated Kanye and now Wiz Khalifa, but other than that, why do we know her and have to hear about her? There are a million girls with gigantic asses who we’re sure would also be willing to take backshots from hip hop stars but don’t have hair like an extra from 1980s TV hit Alien Nation.

46 Caroline Wozniacki (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Men just love it when a female athlete is even remotely attractive so when one comes along that rates above a 7 and is actually good at her sport we tend to go overboard with praise. Much like Maria Sharapova, this is another one of those cases.

45 Katherine Heigl (2010 Rank: Unranked)

Why is this woman still famous? No one likes her so it has to be her looks, right? That’s the only explanation I can come up with. Which brings me back to my initial question: Why is this woman still famous?
