Monica Bellucci is all woman. She’s insanely gorgeous, intelligent, cultured, talented, and can bring any man to his knees with one glance. It takes a lot to be named AskMen.com’s Most Desirable Woman in the World, but Monica’s got it all in spades.

After roles in a list of Italian and French films, most notably Malena (2000) and Irreversible (2002), Monica Bellucci struck gold as Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

As Keanu Reeves once wisely said: whoa! This curvy babe makes us wish we could be world-famous rock stars or basketball players because, from the looks of her track record, it seems like she goes for them, big-time.

Carmen Electra has appeared in Playboy, Baywatch, Singled Out, and a series of movies ranging from Scary Movie (2000) to My Boss’s Daughter (2003). She even has her own reality show, ‘Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave, and a DVD series called Carmen Electra’s Aerobic Striptease. No kidding.

Halle Berry spent most of her youth in beauty pageants, and for good reason. Play..boy named Halle among the 100 Sexiest Women of the Century in 1998, and she’s been on People magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in the World list endless times. Her face and her physical attributes are a study in perfection.

She was put on this Earth to make men’s jaws drop. She has done a great job so far: Her sex appeal is undeniable. She has never disappointed us at awards shows, and if you remember the dress she wore when she won her 2002 Oscar, ypu’ll agree there’s little doubt that designers get off on dressing up one of Hollywood’s most beautiful dolls.

As much as we like Hilary Duff, we’re glad that the girl finally has competition in the form of Lindsay Lohan. They both sing and share the same fan base, only Lindsay looks like a more “mature” teen. We’re enjoying this battle of the stars …

Aside from the numerous TV commercials she has appeared in, Lindsay played the twin sisters in the remake of The Parent Trap (1998), Jamie Lee Curtis’ daughter in the remake of Freaky Friday (2003), and a wannabe popular girl in the sleeper hit, Mean Girls (2004). Lindsay also released a debut album called Speak in December 2004.

Originally best known for her starring role as Lizzie McGuire on the small and big screens, she is now equally well known for her chart-topping status as a pop singer; she has a No. 1 album in addition to a No. 1 movie and TV show.

Hilary shows all the signs of a goddess in the making. Her long, naturally blonde hair adds to the vibrancy of her always-glowing face. With cheery eyes and a seemingly unforced demeanor, it’s clear that Hilary has devoted some time to perfecting her camera-ready look. Give her a few years and she’ll not only be legal, but a real force to be reckoned with.

Well, it’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez is one of the sexiest women in the world. She’s a singer, an actress, a dancer, and a Bronx girl.

Jennifer Lopez is about as sexy as any woman can naturally be. Considering that she hasn’t had any work done (well, none that we know of), we have to admit that she’s a smokin’ Latin lady. With her tan skin, sparkling eyes, tantalizing curves, and infamous rear, it’s no wonder we love drooling over J-Lo’s repeating music videos every day.

She’s beautiful, eccentric and highly intelligent. She questions what goes on around her and she’s not afraid to be sexual. On top of all that, she’s a great actress and humanitarian.

Angelina Jolie has starred in thrillers like The Bone Collector and Taking Lives, blockbusters such as Gone in Sixty Seconds, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and bombs like Alexander. She’s also famous for her headlining way of life. From her well-documented marriage to Billy Bob Thornton to her highly publicized romance with Brad Pitt, Angelina is famous for both her personal and professional lives.

Jessica Biel is a gorgeous specimen of a woman, but beautiful girls are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. What has always made Jessica stand out is her maturity, which far outstrips the age on her driver’s license.

In 1996, she got her breakthrough role as a preacher’s daughter on the WB’s 7th Heaven. Since then, people have been raving about Jessica’s future possibilities. Even Jessica herself felt that big things awaited her, and that her goody-goody role on 7th Heaven was preventing her from taking on more meaningful roles, such as the role in American Beauty she read for that eventually went to Mena Suvari.

Jessica had the looks to make us believe she was a genetically-enhanced woman in the sci-fi hit Dark Angel, and has the body to make any guy want to go see a chick flick like Honey. Even though she’s been away from the spotlight for a few years, Jessica has always been on our minds.

After big-screen roles in Never Been Kissed and Idle Hands, Jessica Alba became the first “It” girl of the century as the title role in James Cameron’s sci-fi TV series, Dark Angel. Back from a short hiatus, she starred in the hip-hop dance flick Honey in 2003 and the star-studded Sin City in 2005.

Alessandra Ambrosio is as sexy as her name, and not featuring her would be considered a crime to her home country. Now we have two reasons to visit Brazil, including the Carnaval in Rio. Alessandra was in dozens of fashion campaigns, like the latest one for Guess? She also recently appeared in the Cannes Victoria’s Secret webcast.

With her penetrating eyes and innocent face, she is a grown-up Lolita. Her magnetism shines through the camera lens, and leaves men (the mere mortals that we are) in awe. With a face as young as hers, she looks like she just started high school. We can’t wait to see what happens when her beautiful innocent face matures into the seasoned look of a young woman. If she’s irresistible now, what will happen later on down the line ?
