Rihanna Not 'Esquire' Sexiest Woman Alive, But Close

The web was abuzz today with news that Esquire Magazine named Rihanna its 2011 "Sexiest Women Alive." Not hard to believe, but not true.

Steamy pictures and a video of the Barbadian babe rolling around naked and rubbing dirt over her body while on her first Esquire photo shoot were posted online but quickly removed. It was just enough time for rumors to start flying that Rihanna had captured the coveted 'sexiest' title.

Though Rihanna was in the running, the honor went to Katrina Bowden who stars on NBC's 30 Rock and was just tapped as the new face (or body) of Jordache jeans company.

Sure, Bowden is hot enough to resurrect a line of outdated stone-washed jeans and her flat stomach makes us want to run to the gym, but it's hard to believe she could out sexy Rihanna.

Take a look at Rhianna's sexiest looks this past year and you be the judge.

Quick Poll

Do You Think Rihanna Should Have Won 'Sexiest Woman Alive?'

So I clicked on the link for the girl that actually won "sexiest woman alive" and I'm pretty sure I saw 5 of her while walking around campus today....nothing special at all to say the least... She must have a hardcore fan base.

Sexiest woman "Alive", hell's no. In the entertainment business? Maybe close, but not the sexiest.

Katrina who? Why am I not surprised that the sexist women again is a plain Jane blonde with a boy's body. Why cannot they pick a blonde, who actually is attractive, to be sexist woman? Rhianna is womanly and confident.

Sexiest woman...? she is cute, but she is a pig! Her actions an words say all that she is. I love Chris Brown...

Unless he's your son or brother, it's disturbing that you post how much you love a man who did what he did to a woman. And it seems that you blame her for it, which is disturbing even if he is your son or brother

It's disturbing that you have problem with her disliking someone who is not your blood relative either. Your post is full irony.

If no one has heard of the other woman, how could she win? Esquire has issues.

I can't see Rihanna caring about this...or anyone else frankly.

I had to Google the other chick just to figure out how she looks and I STILL don't know who she is...AND I WATCH 30 ROCK! LOL.

Rihanna is hot. End of.

The other chick is cute too. but again, not on Ri's level of sexy, but hey whatever.

*YAWN* .....How in the world would anyone think this strange looking, 5-head, whining little liar is the "most attractive/sexiest woman in the world"? Yeah she is the sexiest goat on the farm!

And people, sleazy does not equal sexy!

I'll put my sweetie up against yours any day (or night), the rules of engagement will need to be negotiated carefully though.

Katrina Bowden won this "honor" but the article and pictures are of Rihanna?? I'm going to have to google just to see who this person is.

I'm going to agree. Rhianna IS sexy. Doesn't matter if you don't like her, if you think she looks slutty..whatever.. she's very versatile and she has an air of sexuality about her.
