Sarah Is One Of The Unsexiest Women Alive
Britney Spears' frequent show of skin and more notwithstanding men find her one of the Unsexiest Woman Alive. Topping the list of celebrities who don't turn on men is 'Sex and the City' actress Sarah Jessica Parker. The 'Sex and the City' actress, who is most famous for her role as sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the hit US TV show, was given the dubious honor in the online poll by men's website maxim.com.
In a scathing attack on the 42-year-old actress, Maxim.com writers - who compiled the poll - likened Sarah Jessica to famous US racehorses Barbaro and Secretariat and insisted they would rather get up close and personal with her 'Sex and the City' co-star Chris Noth.
One Maxim.com writer said: "How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with "sex" in the title?
"Pull your skirt down, Secretariat, we would rather ride your co-star Chris Noth!"
Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse - whose beehive hair and prominent eyeliner has been copied by teenage girls worldwide - finished in second place.
Another Maxim.com writer revealed: "When we first heard this chick boast about her reluctance to go to rehab we thought, now there is a girl we can party with! But upon beholding her openly hemorrhaging translucent skin, rat's nest mane and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats, we were the ones screaming, 'Nooo, nooo, nooo!' "
'Grey's Anatomy' star Sandra Oh is in third place, while 49-year-old "menopausal" singer Madonna finished fourth and was ridiculed for her adoption of Malawi boy David Banda.
The survey said of Madonna: "Madonna traded pioneering sexuality for, like other old Jewish women, self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration.
"Combine a Paris Hilton-like pet accessorizing fetish - only for dirt-poor foreign babies - with a mug that looks Euro-sealed to her skull, and you've got Willem Dafoe with hot flashes."
Britney Spears - whose behavior has spiraled out of control this year with her wild partying, drug taking, shaving her head and bizarre performance at the MTV Video Music Awards - rounded up top five.
One Maxim.com contributor claimed: "Britney has lost the ability to perform, but gained two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of pudge."

Viva Cop Rock: Let's Be Careful Out There
When Viva Laughlin was canceled this week, becoming the first major casualty of the new fall season, our thoughts drifted back to Cop Rock, the first major casualty of the TV genre we like to call the Inappropriate Musical. Like Viva Laughlin, Cop Rock, which lasted for about three months on ABC back in 1990, featured characters who had no business breaking into song. In Viva Laughlin, it was Hugh Jackman sleazy casino owner. In Cop Rock, it was the police sergeant.
We'll give Viva Laughlin credit-at least it wasn't as serious as a heart attack. It was about wheelers and dealers in Laughlin, Nevada, for sleepy-retirement-town's sake. If you were a big fish in a small pond, you too might think you could get away with a little kick ball change on your craps table. And if you too moved like The Boy from Oz, you might pull the whole thing off.
Late-night Lessons From Paula, Mel B And Paris
Is Scary Spice suddenly afraid of stage diving?Less than two weeks ago, Mel B (aka Scary Spice) told me she was looking forward to doing some stage diving during the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour. But just last night, she admitted to having second thoughts.
"I'm in rehearsals and not quite sure about it now," she said at last night's DirecTV 100 HD post-Emmy bash in West Hollywood.
So, have Mel and her new husband, Stephen Belafonte, been hanging with Posh Spice and her hubby, David Beckham, now that they're all based in Los Angeles? "We hang out loads at our houses, but tonight I'm going home," Mel said. (FYI: The Beckhams were spotted earlier in the evening at Justin Timberlake's concert at the Staples Center.)
Here's what else we learned last night, after the big show:
Get Kristin's Glam Green Emmy Dress!
Hey party people, now that the big day is done, it's time to do good! You probably saw our TV Diva, Kristin Dos Santos, looking amazing on the carpet yesterday, and if you'd like a piece of that beauty (and a good karma hit, to boot), E! Online is auctioning her Monique Lhuillier red-carpet gown (with the belt) through Clothes Off Our Back. If you've never heard of Clothes Off Our Back, it was founded by Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) and Bradley Whitford (Studio 60, The West Wing) to give formal wear a valuable second use after its first turn around a celebrity event. Through COOB, spectacular outfits are auctioned off to benefit children's causes around the world.
And if you're not a statuesque brunette interested in a jewel-green gown, there's plenty more where that came from! Clothes Off Our Back's 6th Annual Emmy Auction also features items donated by Lorraine Bracco Edie Falco, Kathy Griffin, Jean Smart and Heidi Klum. Plus, coming soon, you fellas can look for shoes, sunglasses and cuff links from the likes of Greg Grunberg and Terry O'Quinn.
What are you still standing here for? Get shoppin'!

Is Pamela Anderson A Drug Addict?
The Pamela Anderson is a drug addict' rumor is gaining some cred this week by Jonathan Jaxson at JJ Dirt who claims to have a source close to Pam spilling the beans on her drug and alcohol abuse. All the major gossip magazine's have reported recently that Pam's lifestyle is getting out of control and now her inner circle are starting to fear for her life."She knows she is going to die soon, so she continues to party out of control thinking nothing of it. Never does she mention her kids. Her marriage to Rick Solomon, nicknamed by Pam and friends as "Scum," was something to full-fill her immediate emotional needs. We have all known one another for years and nothing ever sparked between them until recently! The 3-4 days a week cocaine binges are insane. There isn't a day that goes by in the past 4-5 years of knowing her that I have seen Pam sober. She won't even take care of her health properly and the drugs are only further causing her liver trouble."The same source went on to admit that they have seen Pam taking illegal drugs with their own eyes."I have witnessed her using several drugs over the past few years. Including: Crystal Meth, Methadone, Ecstasy, Marijuana and her nearly daily drug of choice, Cocaine. I hope she gets the message soon before it is too late. I am so worried about her and she won't listen to a soul."Pam should hook-up with Britney Spears. Sounds like they are heading down the same road, they could share a cab.
