Omigod! Ash is the mostest again

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />Let''s face it. You can love her, you can hate her, but you can''t wish her away. Our Ash has done it again. This time, she has been voted the most attractive woman of 2003. <br /></div> <div align="left" style="position:relative; left: -2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="left" border="1" width="58.1%"> <colgroup> <col width="100.0%" /> </colgroup> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><a href="javascript:popUp(&quot1;/photopop/msid-93092,type-0.cms&quot1;)"> <#img border=0 align=left src="/thumb.cms?msid=93092&=254&width=254" hspace=12></a></div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="100.0%" colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="" valign:="" top="" background-color:="" f3f3f3=""> <div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="">Click to enlarge</span></div> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">What a boost for the Indian glamour scene.This was not a made-in-India competition, though one suspects that we Indians tend to be the most enthusiastic voters online and the sheer numbers help. <a href="http://thetimesofindia.online/articleshow/409884.cms">Ash</a> was voted the most attractive in a poll conducted by </span><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">hellomagazine.com</span><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">, and the also-ran list includes amazing beauties the world over. Chew on this - British actress Keira Knightly came in second followed by no less than Nicole Kidman and Catherine Zeta Jones. Angelina Jolie was there somewhere, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cindy Crawford, but Ash beat them all to it. </span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">What a boost for the 30 plus woman trying to squint out those crow-feet. She was Miss World a decade ago. Takes some doing to be a global beauty queen for 10 years. Knightly, at 19, is actually a generation apart. She is 11 years younger than Ash.</span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">It is hugely tempting to dismiss this as just another online poll, conducted by the kilo to draw glamour-starved surfers. To yawn at all that ado about <a href="http://thetimesofindia.online/articleshow/412136.cms">Ash</a>, the over-hyped. For a moment, let''s give in to that temptation, what do we have? An Indian actress who looks good on a list because all the bored Indians surfing out there decided to plug for her? Perhaps, Lady Luck''s loved one - she will always win so eat your heart out.</span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="" font-weight:="" bold="">But if she isn''t so hot, why is it always Ash?

The most attractive man is the disgustingly desirable Orlando Bloom of Pirates of the Caribbean fame. He leaves behind some scrumptious beefcake in Jon Bon Jovi, Colin Firth, Keanu Reeves and Kiefer Sutherland. And for most elegant woman you have Liv Tyler. Now who would argue with that? So it can''t really be all that skewed can it?
