Beyond sexy!

Johannesburg - What do a missing dog called Hagrid, Idol Heinz Winckler and Evita Bezuidenhout have in common? They've all received votes in FHM magazine's annual poll for the world's 100 sexiest women.
Hagrid even garnered more votes than chat show hosts Felicia Mabuza
Suttle and Oprah Winfrey but was upstaged by the likes of Winnie Mandela, Queen Elizabeth and Kathy Bates.
FHM announced this week it would publish its popular 100 Sexiest Women in
the World list next Wednesday - and divulged the names of some of the less
likely contenders.
FHM South Africa's editor Brendan Cooper said Hagrid and people such as Suttle and Winfrey had not reached the final 100.
"We're very excited about the 100 names. More than 45 000 votes were cast in South Africa and no fewer than 477 women across the country were nominated."
Last year the model Kerry McGregor wore the South African crown, with tennis supremo Anna Kournikova voted world's sexiest woman. The previous year Jennifer Lopez took the title.
Cooper said it was amazing to see how some women's popularity had "exploded" in the last 12 months. The most popular debutant was "the girlfriend of a Big Brother finalist".
Apparently Koula of 5FM, Idols contestant Nicole Billingham and Egoli's Catriona Andrew just missed the boat.
Some of the beauties can be seen at Monsoon Lagoon in Caesars at the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2003 party.
