The World's 100 Sexiest Female Celebrities of 2011 according to French males

Here are the recently revealed results of a survey conducted by the TV channel NRJ12 and the magazine FHM among French men to figure out which Female celebrities were considered the most sexy in France. The results aren't necessarily what you'd expect and feature some surprising omissions (ie: no Kate Beckinsale, Elizabeth Hurley or Anna Kournikova), and inclusions of girls you wouldn't think were famous out of the US or whose stars seem to have faded (ie: Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian). Nevertheless the list is interesting because, unlike if it was made in the US, it doesn't contain only Hollywood celebrities. Interestingly, 2010's number one, swimming champion Laure Manaudou didn't even make the cut this year.
Now on to notable matches:
Angelina Jolie edged past Jennifer Aniston
Christina Aguilera roundly beat Britney Spears
Katy Perry scored way higher than Lady Gaga & Lily Allen
French First Lady Carla Bruni placed slightly higher than American First Lady Michelle Obama
Sorrry about the girls who don't have pictures on IMDB, I guess you'll have to look them up on Google, or Bing, or Yahoo or whaever it is you use.
