Twenty Most Beautiful People of the Decade

EVA MENDES

She is unimpeachably sexy. Her Calvin Klein billboard in New York, currently looming over Houston St, is supersize proof of that. Dark features, an admirable figure, and an attitude that said she's willing to get her hands dirty made her a star the second we laid eyes on her as Denzel Washington's mistress in 2001's Training Day. She's been alternately sultry (Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Out of Time) and goofy (Hitch, Stuck On You). But most of all, as she proved with a scandal-less stint in rehab in 2007, she also possesses a more infrequent quality—grace. 


"It's flattering that people think I'm sexy, but it's not the end-all, be-all. The minute I put my self-esteem on what they think I am, I'm screwed, because one day they're not going to think I'm sexy."

This is a horrible list. Where the HELL is Johnny Depp? Keira Knightley? Angelina Jolie?
This is like a tweeny boppers list. Zac Efron number one? Twilight girl number 2?
At least they got it right on Colin Farrell, Eva Mendes, and Scarlett Johanson

I have to report this on your page that http://www.celebuzz.com/interviews-20-most-beautiful-people-g165061i33751241/ have proclaimed that ROBERT PATTINSON is on the no.1 ? But i see on your website that ZAC EFRON is still on No.1 Spot. So please clear things up.

You forgot Tyler Lough. imho, this hunk has to be "the most beautiful man" on the planet today, but that's just my opinion. I tried to "add to your library" but it says "please sign in first" and now that I am signed in, I don't have the option to upload his photograph. He was first discovered by DNA in Australia, then modeled for Ford Models, NYC, and since then has fallen off the planet.

Colin is completely amazing! Not to state the obvious good looks and charm, the man is genuinely a charitable, good hearted and very kind person. I've had the privilege to meet and talk to Colin. I can't say that anyone of his stature has ever been so selfless and given so much time to someone, as he did to me. As far as I'm concerned, to the person who said they hadn't heard much from Colin, he has about 5 films coming out in 2010 (2 of which already made early previews in NY and LA), and he has matured very much from the person he was. No longer does he drink, he is an amazing and responsible father, and he is a huminatarian (which people don't seem to note or care about). Slainte, Colin!!
