AskMen is proud to be the world’s No. 1 lifestyle Internet site for men and recently announced their popular “AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2014.”

More than one million votes came in from around the world and the winner of the World’s Most Desirable Woman was …. Emilia Clarke from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” (above photo from AskMen)

This year marks the 13th edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women reader poll by AskMen. Readers were asked to vote for women who most closely match their ideals and to consider additional criteria including talent, character and potential for 2014. The goal was to not just make it a vote solely on sex appeal.

Below is the list of the Top 10 Women:
1) Emilia Clarke
2) Alison Brie
3) Emily Ratajkowski
4) Jennifer Lawrence
5) Emma Watson
6) Kate Upton
7) Kerry Washington
8) Amy Adams
9) Margot Robbie
10) Kate Moss

For 2013, Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence was voted No. 1 but slipped to No. 4 this year. Alison Brie is from the “Community” TV series and music video model Emily Ratajkowski starred in last year’s hit song “Blurred Lines.” The beautiful Emma Watson from the blockbuster “Harry Potter” movie series was voted No.5.

James Bassil is the publisher of AskMen and was quoted, “The final Top 99 list is the product of both reader and staff votes, but if it were up to the staff alone I don’t think we’d be seeing Miley Cyrus on it. AskMen reader votes secured her a spot, but we remain skeptical about some of her recent behavior. We’ll see what 2014 brings. But at the moment, No. 99 seems to be the right spot for her.”

Women from TV shows were very popular again this year. In addition to Emilia Clarke, the popular HBO show “Game of Thrones” also landed two other actresses on the Top 99 list – Oona Chaplin at No. 43 and Rose Leslie at No. 61. Kat Dennings from “2 Broke Girls” came in at No. 12, Zooey Deschanel of “New Girl” was No. 17 and the sexy Sofia Vergara from the hit ABC show “Modern Family” appeared at No. 40.

There some surprises as several women you rankled high last year, slipped after the 2014 vote. Mila Kunis fell from No. 2 all the way down to No. 26. Rihanna dropped from No. 4 to No. 19 plus beautiful model Miranda Kerr declined to No. 46 after ranking No. 6 last year.

In addition, three women you were in last year’s Top 10, fell completely off the 2014 Top 99 List –
Kristen Stewart, Michelle Jenneke and Jessica Pare. Just proves that popularity can be just a fleeting

moment. Other women who did not make AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2014 list were – Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Blake Lively, Penelope Cruz, Gisele Bündchen and Jessica Alba.

We’ve all done it at some point in our lives. The rolling of the eyes, the shaking of the head, or just outright laughter as another celebrity hits rock bottom. Whether it’s a DUI, drug conviction, stint in rehab, cheating spouse and subsequent high profile divorce, there’s something that brings us joy in watching a famous celebrity self destruct and meltdown before our eyes.

“There can be no joy in either being smug over the trials of the rich-and-famous or laughing at their addictions,” said Dr. Patricia A. Farrell, a well-known psychologist and author. “What have we become that we eagerly seek out joy in destruction? Is this just the modern version of ‘bread and circus?’ The frenzy that accompanies the current coverage of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, female rappers and TV actors is spiraling upward. My concern is that it will result in serious physical and mental harm to these individuals as well as innocent bystanders.”

Journalistic archives or “morgues” are full of the stories of the final moments of the famous. “Many of the stories tell about stars committing suicide and provide graphic detail or how they’ve spiraled into addiction. As I’ve said before, who wouldn’t want to escape from the constant pursuit? Do you think a fox in a fox hunt actually ‘enjoys’ the chase? And what happens at the end of the hunt, just before they go to those elaborate buffets? Does the fox come along and laugh about all the near-misses or stumbles of the horses?

These people hunt for what they believe is ‘sport’ of a type and they’ve recklessly rode over people’s property without consideration of the owner’s rights. They believe they have the right to ‘hunt’ and that no one can deny them that pleasure.

“Now, we have a hunt of a different type and the fox often lives to see another day, but in no better shape, mentally. The hunt also has a tradition where the first hunt for a rider is celebrated by smearing blood on the collar of this rider’s jacket. So, the whole intent is blood sport, not riding. I wonder how the papps celebrate their first ‘kill.’ Entertainment is a part of life that all of us need to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“Perhaps it is the war or the present sorry state of the economy,” Dr. Farrell concluded, “but one thing is for sure and that is that things are getting worse, more reckless and the people in the stands watching this chase seem to be giving that ‘thumbs down’ gesture. They don’t seem to want to see a happy ending and that’s not just sad, that’s disturbing.”

Dr. Farrell is the author of “How to Be Your Own Therapist” (Barnes & Noble, 2007, ISBN: 0-7607-9184-8), a licensed psychologist and medical disability consultant. She has appeared on major TV shows such as The Today Show, The View, Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper 360 and is quoted in national newspapers, magazines and news services.

We’ve seen those incredible bodies on many celebrities, but how much exercise do they do and how much money do they spend?  Many times that’s a well held secret, but there is much we do know.  Today’s trainers don’t play the role of a hard-nosed drill sergeant but also promote healthy lifestyles.

They help their celebrity clients develop a specific fitness regimen they can look forward to, enjoy the routines, find ways to maximize the gains, and push them to meet their goals everyday. Full article
