FHM Sexiest Woman Of 2012

Katy Perry: +350

So I had to dig up pictures on some of the hottest women in the world for this slideshow on who'll win the FHM Sexiest Woman award in 2012. Tough job right? Well, several books, including betED.com, have odds on this event so I'll try my best to ignore my boner and handicap this baby. Katy Perry = hot but the pop princess has been a top fave the past two years and come up empty.

Rhianna: +350

Katy's gal pal Rhianna is tied as the top choice to win the award but bettors beware. FHM is based out of the UK so Brit babes tend to get bonus points. Plus, at the risk of soundly too girlie, Rhianna's wacky hairdos can sometimes be a bit of a turnoff. Just sayin'. 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: +500

This Victoria Secret model is the defending champion and will be the leading lady in this summer's new Transformer movie. Megan Fox who? There have been two previous back to back FHM Sexiest Woman winners (Jennifer Lopez and Cheryl Cole), so that's something bettors should keep in mind. 

Pippa Middleton: +600

Oddsmakers are giving Pippa the nod ahead of sister Kate, which I think is a royal outrage. Sure she's cute, but there's no doubt in my mind that the newest Duchess of Cambridge is the hottest Middleton on the planet.

  

Megan Fox: +700

Fox, the 2008 winner, seems to be treading water at the moment. No one's saying she doesn't belong on the list of hottest women alive, but few are arguing she should top the list. I blame her decent on Brian Austin Green or that freak finger of hers.

Cheryl Cole: +700

Remember what I was saying about Brit women getting bonus points? Cole benefits from that unwritten rule. She's a pop princess and a sympathetic figure in the UK. Chelsea footballer and former husband cheated on her like every other day while they were married and it seemed most of those affairs became public knowledge.

Kate Middleton: +800

This is what I'm talking about. Kate's got the million-dollar smile and a beach body to boot. Yeah, I'd say William picked the right Middleton.

Irina Shayk: +800

You can't have a field like this and not include a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. That would just be wrong. Irina was the cover model to SI's last swimsuit issue and she's dating Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo.
