Megan Fox: Officially Coveted, Yet Second in S*xiness

The verdict is in: Megan Fox, while undeniably desirable, claims the title of the world's second most alluring woman in FHM's annual appraisal of the global female elite, as judged by its readers.

For the second consecutive year, the Transformers "actress" concedes the crown to the melodious songstress of Girls Aloud, Cheryl Cole, while the illustrious Victoria's Secret model, Marisa Miller, secures a respectable third place.

Trailing behind this triumvirate of captivating women are Frankie Sandford of the renowned girl band, The Saturdays, the charismatic Brit model, Keeley Hazell, and the enigmatic Twilight star, Kristen Stewart.

Claiming the seventh spot with grace is Kelly Brook, followed closely by the exquisite Adriana Lima, the captivating Jessica Alba, and the enchanting Abbey Clancy, footballer Peter Crouch's better half, who claims the coveted tenth position.

FHM elaborates on Ms. Cole's unparalleled triumph, asserting that she left the competition "standing in their stilettos, coughing in her s-xy dust" during this year's polling.

Her triumphant attributes encompass "the physique, the gaze, the legs, the cheekbones, the tresses, and that alluringly concealed cleavage," along with her "domination of the airwaves, periodicals, and websites worldwide," and the remarkable feat of "shedding 150 pounds of superfluous flab" – a fitting portrayal of her former spouse, Ashley Cole.
