Sitcom star tops 'Most Desirable Women' list

AskMen's 11th annual “Top 99 Most Desirable Women” list was revealed today, and "Modern Family's" Sofia Vergara was on top of it.

“I am so honored to be AskMen's most desired woman this year," Vergara said in a statement. "A big thank you to all the men who desire me.”

Television actresses dominated the list, with 22 TV stars claiming spots. Last year's No. 1 vote went to "Gossip Girl's" Blake Lively, who held strong at No. 32 in 2012. Other TV stars include: Kim Kardashian ("Keeping Up with the Kardashians"; "Kourtney and Kim Take New York"); Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl"); Lea Michele and Dianna Agron ("Glee"); Nicole Scherzinger ("The X Factor"); Jennifer Lopez ("American Idol") and Kat Dennings ("2 Broke Girls").

This year's list also highlights a new generation of leading women, such as superstar vocalist Adele, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and George Clooney's girlfriend, Stacy Keibler. Also among the 39 newcomers on this year's list is Pippa Middleton, who just made the cut at No. 98. (AskMen readers much preferred her sister, Kate, who ranked No. 11.)

The “Top 99 Most Desirable Women” of 2012 also features women with an edge, voting a few notable stars that are known for their unconventional beauty, including newcomer Rooney Mara (No. 3) -- who transformed her look to become "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" -- and music icons Nicki Minaj (No. 5), Katy Perry (No. 16) and Lady Gaga (No. 18).

Also notable: 49-year-old Demi Moore (No. 80) made the list.

According to a press release, more than 1 million votes were cast internationally. To see the full list, visit www.askmen.com.
