angelina jolie & charlie theron is about the only woman on that list i thing truly is 'sexy' ... & maybe halle berry ... jennifer aniston is beautiful, all the others are attractive, but SEXY is something totally different ... you don't have to be attractive to be sexy as hell ... angelina has some scenes in Gia which define sexy for me.

definately jennifer garner is missing
catherine zeta jones is sexy too

carmen electra, while trashy, NEVER looks bad
uma thurman, denise richards, alicia silverstone, reece witherspoon ... the list is endless!
