1. jessica alba Votes: 20 a silver-medal position for the 27-year-old californian, based purely on honeyed skin, a drum-taut latino body and her wilful disregard of why we’re all so desperate to see next year’s sin city sequel.

2. julie henderson Votes: 16 my goodness

3. megan fox Votes: 14 there’s not a woman alive who looks better bent over a 1976 chevrolet camaro in a denim miniskirt. with a sultry glower, capricious pout and six tattoos, she’s the junior angelina jolie (but without the orphan addiction).

4. anna gilligan Votes: 13 lovely skills set

5. gisele bundchen Votes: 11 duh

6. angelina jolie Votes: 10 debatably, she’s the world’s most physically faultless female, from her vivid bottle-green eyes to those flawless curves (recall her as lara croft?). and then there’s her weakness for swinging both ways. “am i bisexual?” she smiles. “absolutely. yes.”

7. keeley hazell Votes: 10 the 21-year-old with the nation’s finest frontage has spent the last year modelling too-small lingerie, starring in a slightly odd online technology show and making it big in the us.

8. scarlett johansson Votes: 10 “seriously, i really want to grab scarlett’s breasts. she’s got beautiful ones.” there you have it: evidence that the 23-year-old now makes even her female co-stars – the famously straight-laced natalie portman, in this case – come over all peculiar.

9. elisha cuthbert Votes: 8 despite 18 months of minimal movie output (including the tortuous captivity), this 25-year-old is genuinely more popular than ever. maybe it’s memories of her pink panties in old school. or her ‘adult’ scenes in the girl next door.

10. cheryl cole Votes: 5 since the tabloid revelations, the 24-year-old’s been looking either ‘gaunt’ or ‘fabulous and bouncing back’, depending on which paper you read. a recent voting surge shows what fhm readers think, propelling her back up to seventh spot.

11. hayden panettiere Votes: 3 “in an age of conflict… in a world of uncertainty… a hero will arise.” tv trailers tell us this, but they didn’t say she’d be a button-cute 18-year-old new yorker who’d debut in fhm’s very pages.

12. hilary duff Votes: 3 our december 2007 cover star isn’t content with the starring role on high school sit-com lizzie mcguire, she’s also released five albums and just completed her 16th movie (the ’80s drama safety glass).

13. keira knightley Votes: 1 as any savvy movie-goer is well aware, historical dramas often contain scenes of erotic brilliance. keira’s role in last year’s oscar-nominated atonement, for example, was savagely salacious. the good news is the 2006 winner has another period bodice-ripper out later this year.
