男人幫美女TOP10

1 Cheryl Cole
“I wish I was a bloke sometimes. There are a few things I'd like to try out as a bloke.”

Nadine. Kimberley. Sarah. Nicola. The other members of Girls Aloud, in case you've forgotten. But it's a forgivable slice of amnesia, given that 2008/09 has been all about Cheryl - never mind the bandmates. In the last 12 months, thanks to taking The X Factor by storm, the gorgeous Geordie has become Britain's most wanted star. And it's easy to see why. With her flawless skin, high cheekbones, wafer-thin waist, perfect pins and criminally underexposed cleavage, it's like God himself decided her native Newcastle was looking a bit dowdy, and needed a beacon of angel-like beauty at its centre. Add a dirty laugh and ability to repel Simon Cowell, and it's no wonder that the 25-year-old has usurped even the mighty Keeley Hazell as the UK's sexiest female. She's also been named Britain's Best Dressed Woman by Tatler, won a Brit Award, graced the covers of FHM and Vogue, climbed Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief and claimed the title of Heat's 'most fanciable female'.
And now, she accepts perhaps the ultimate accolade for womankind: the wide-eyed, reverential acclaim of FHM's readership. Such was the enormous surge in votes during the early weeks that, within a fortnight of the polls opening, she had an insurmountable lead. Seriously: at this rate of nationwide domination, it can only be a matter of time before the country converts en masse to a new religion: Cherylanity. We're imagining black and white Toon Army monk habits, and prayers that end in "howay". In fact, there may only be one question left: is she perfect? No, she has a flaw. His name's Ashley. Just say the word, Cheryl. Just say the word.

2 Megan Fox
“I have the libido of a 15-year-old boy - my sex drive is so high. ”

After a winning debut in last year's competition, the fire'n'ice beauty has spent the year waltzing, clothes-free, around Simon Pegg in How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, playing a possessed cheerleader in the forthcoming Jennifer's Body and generally making good boys want to be very, very bad: "I like the bad-boy types. The guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar." Well, he sounds like a cock to us.

3 Jessica Alba
“I've said I won't go naked in any of my movies, because I don't want to. But that doesn't mean I don't want to see other people strip off! ”

Motherhood causes strange things to happen. Things like the Razzie-nominated The Love Guru. But, sprog dropped, it's back to business as usual for our 2007 champ. After a guest appearance in the US version of The Office, she'll be dusting down her leather chaps and gyrating her way back into nerdish hearts as Sin City 2's Nancy Callahan. But does she take her work home with her? "Most nights I end up wearing a wife beater T-shirt and boxers." Shame. But at least you've got more in common than you thought.

4 Britney Spears
“I no longer study Kabbalah, my baby is my religion. ”

Like a slightly unhinged chameleon, Britney Spears can change her appearance at the drop of a hat. From schoolgirl to diva, through doting mother to... well, yes, there may have been a slight blip when she and K-Fed split, what with the hair shaving, bingeing and showing off the contents of her 'purse' to all and sundry. But Britney's stormed back up the list and - after a rumoured £60,000 makeover - she's looking, if not her best, then a pretty good approximation of what she once was.

5 Keeley Hazell
“If I'm swimming in a pool and my bikini pops off, I'm not bothered and carry on. ”

It's a mystery of modern times that Keeley, despite consistently featuring in the 100 Sexiest's Top Five, has never nabbed the top spot. Is it because she's too nice? Has her green campaigning diluted the appeal of what is, without doubt, the UK's most revered frontage? Or is she just in limbo? She's overtaken David Beckham as the most Googled Brit in the US. The 22-year-old is taking drama and psychology classes. She's started her own modelling agency. And she's single. Our girl's doing just fine.

6 Adriana Lima
“Sex is for after marriage. [Men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me. ”

Now entering her tenth year on the catwalk, Brazilian supermodel Lima is so perfect that her government uses her picture to make Brazilians not mind about all that City Of God stuff. A strict Catholic, she was believed to be the only 28-year-old virgin left on the planet until she married on Valentine's Day this year. Lima volunteers in an orphanage in her home town where the small boys ask her for cuddles, look down her top and then high-five each other the second that her back's turned.

7 Elisha Cuthbert
“I'm a huge fan of video games and comic books. I'm not die-hard or anything, but I definitely appreciate the art in it, which is really cool. ”

She's been beaten, kidnapped and shot at. Hell, she's even been chased by a cougar. But you can't keep a good girl down, so, come 'Day Seven', Kim Bauer's back, pouting provocatively and running chestily. And, fantastically, 24 isn't this coquettish, Top Ten stalwart Canadian's only showcase. No, the 27-year-old also stars in The Six Wives Of Henry Lefay, a 'comedy' where she juggles six stepmothers at her father's funeral. Hmmm, maybe you should stick to 24, or download The Girl Next Door - Elisha plays an ex-porn star.

8Kristin Kreuk
“Just because I don't do bad things doesn't mean I don't have bad thoughts. ”

Last year's shock entry was Elisha Cuthbert, reaching the No.4 spot simply by dint of breathing. This year, another 26-year-old crashes into the Top Ten - again, it seems, solely on the basis of TV nostalgia. It can't be Kristin's role in Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li. Nope, us neither. So it must be her role as Superman's girl in Smallville driving the votes. Or Superman himself, repeatedly pressing the "submit" button on FHM.com like a demented supersonic jackrabbit.

9 Anna Friel
“For me personally, everything is on a kiss.”

Crashing back into the Top Ten, the 32-year-old star of massive US series Pushing Daisies could never have expected how far she would go after finding fame while lezzing off in scally misery fest Brookside. After a dalliance with a m閚age ?trois alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tribe, Hollywood came calling. Anna is now starring in this summer's big blockbuster Land Of The Lost alongside Will Ferrell.

10 Freida Pinto
“The camera never gave me cold feet.”

I have always felt comfortable in front of it.
This year's highest new entry, the Mumbai model made her film debut in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire last year and rocketed straight into number two on everyone's list of favourite Indians (Sachin Tendulkar remains strong in first position, but she nudged Gandhi down to third, who can only expect to drop further if he continues his stubborn refusal to contemporise his image like Madonna does). Now BAFTA-nominated, the 24-year-old had previously been presenting a television travel show and appearing in Skoda adverts.

Editor Is Leaving the Observer, New York’s Scorecard

By DAVID CARR，紐約時報，Published: April 22, 2009

Peter W. Kaplan, the editor of The New York Observer, announced his resignation on Wednesday and said he would be leaving the weekly in June. For the past 15 years Mr. Kaplan has used tart headlines and talented young writers to create a kind of contemporary municipal history of New York high and sometimes low. The newspaper let those in the know know what else they should know about.
Mr. Kaplan met with his staff at 2 p.m. to inform them of his departure, saying that after almost 800 issues it was time for someone else to perform what some of those who work at the small paper have called a kind of a weekly miracle. “I have been here 15 years,” he said in an interview, pointing out that his third five-year contract is up in June. “I’m 55, interested in a third act, and I’ve had my turn here. I want to take what I have learned and see if there is a way I can help figure out what is next for our business.”
Jared Kushner, 28, the newspaper’s owner and publisher, said, “It’s sad that Peter is leaving the paper. He’s done some wonderful things here at The Observer.”
Although each of the men said nice things about each other, a number of staffers at The Observer, who did not speak for attribution because they didn’t want to be openly critical of the paper’s owner, said in interviews that a push for shorter articles and a desire for cuts in an already small newsroom budget helped Mr. Kaplan decide it was time to go.
He will leave a New York media world that is very different from the one he began covering in The Observer in 1994 — one that is challenged by faltering bottom lines and atomized into dozens of blogs and Web sites. Just last week The Observer broke a story about a Brooklyn con woman, the so-called hipster-grifter, in an article that provided just the kind of New York intrigue and context that had been a hallmark of the newspaper. But Gawker, the Manhattan gossip blog, immediately took custody of the story, annotating it with attitude and reader-submitted sightings of the protagonist that all but obscured where the story came from in the first place.
“We are a newspaper in a time that is fundamentally uncongenial to newspapers, and we are about the reporting at a time when the economics of reporting are very difficult to justify,” Mr. Kaplan said. “There may be some similarities in tone, but we are the diametric opposite of Gawker. We don’t borrow information, we create it.”
Known for his soaring soliloquies about the city he loved but did not live in — he resides in Westchester — Mr. Kaplan is a modern version of the fedora-wearing newsman, a man who saw his paper as a weekly libretto rendered in glamour and noir. During his tenure the longest for an editor in the newspaper’s 22-year history, The Observer played large for its size, catching Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., when he was a presidential candidate, taking the measure of Barack Obama by saying he was “articulate and bright and clean”; getting an interview with Jayson Blair at a time when his reporting for The New York Times was coming apart; and all but creating a television and movie franchise with its “Sex and the City” column.
Mr. Kaplan’s skepticism and manifest enthusiasm have left a footprint on the vocabulary of contemporary journalism. Long before there were tatty, snarky blogs, the voice of amazed, gimlet-eyed hilarity was baked into Mr. Kaplan’s version of the weekly. And dozens of the people annealed in his weekly oven of big ambitions and tiny budgets have graduated onto the Web and into mainstream newsgathering, a diaspora that both widened and diluted its strength as a paper.
The Observer relies heavily on real estate advertising and circulates mostly in Manhattan to about 50,000 readers. It has undergone significant changes since it was sold by the avuncular Manhattan businessman Arthur Carter in 2006, and purchased by Mr. Kushner, the Manhattan real-estate scion. At the tender age of 25 he plunked down almost $10 million for the weekly. The penchant for money losing remained a part of The Observer’s identity, but in 2007 it left behind its broadsheet format and became a tabloid and turned significant attention to its Web site, observer.com. Mr. Kaplan said at the time that part of the gesture was to come up with a paper that its new owner could relate to.
(In some ways Mr. Kushner would appear to be more of an ideal subject than owner of the weekly. On Tuesday night he and his girlfriend Ivanka Trump walked the stairs leading up to the Vanity Fair party celebrating the opening of the Tribeca Film Festival. The photographers went bonkers.)
Observer staffers said the pairing of an editor preoccupied by New York demimondes and the young real estate baron was an odd alliance that was bound to dissolve at some point, but Mr. Kaplan, as is often the case in public partings, had only kind words to offer.
“Jared saved the paper,” he said in the interview. “It would have gone bye-bye in 2006. He is fundamentally a capitalist in a business that needs capitalists, and he is 28 years old in a business that needs 28-year-olds.”
Mr. Kaplan, a former reporter for The New York Times and once the executive producer of “The Charlie Rose Show,” came to The Observer as an editor in the tradition of Clay Felker, the founding editor of New York magazine. He promoted and executed a tough-minded brand of civic hyperbole, a belief that there was and is no other place in the world like New York City. His job, which has previously belonged to Graydon Carter, now the editor of Vanity Fair, and Susan Morrison, now an editor at The New Yorker, involved the creation of a real-time taxonomy of New York power — not just who was up and down, but who mattered in the first place. Finding oneself depicted in a large-headed caricature in the paper was a totem of arrival in some parts of Manhattan, a sign that one had become worthy of incarceration in the social pantheon defined by its pages.
But The New York Observer has always worked on a less than thin margin. Mr. Kushner may have a small interest in publishing, but his main business is New York real estate, which has been a rugged nexus of the economic downturn.
Despite rumors of disagreements over financing, Mr. Kaplan said Mr. Kushner will continue to support the paper.
“It’s true that he and I are very different creatures, but he is very ambitious, which is The New York Observer’s stock in trade,” he said. “He clearly wants to see this thing through.” Mr. Kaplan, who called the paper his “life’s work” when he was shopping it after Mr. Carter tired of putting tens of millions of dollars into it, said that it will continue in some form, just not with the topspin he put on it every week.
“I bring my own weird cultural framing to this, but I am not immune to the Oedipal triumph of what comes next here from the people at this paper who will take it over,” he said. “It will be a battle on all fronts, but the paper will be freer and faster, moving into the future in ways that I can’t foresee.”
Mr. Kushner said that he and Mr. Kaplan had come to an agreement a month ago that he would be leaving, and that Mr. Kaplan would be assisting him in a search for a new editor.
Former staffers said regardless of who is chosen, Mr. Kaplan’s departure would leave a gap in New York’s media landscape. Jim Windolf, a former Observer reporter who is now a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, said, “I think it seems depressing that we are living at a time when someone like Peter Kaplan is not running a major publication in New York. That just seems weird to me.”

歷史

寫給5月和6月，以及7月

誰來寫歷史，都不放心。
仇恨太長，筆劃太短。
時間，總有一天封喉。
朋友們寫字，又太多酒氣。
也好，
最後的墓碑
留給愛情。
