Sarah Jessica Parker had this to say about being voted Maxim's Unsexiest Woman in the world: "It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger. It upset him [Matthew], because it has to do with his judgment too. Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not. Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking...It's condemnation, it's insane. What can I do? I guess you can't please all people." • Seal went off on the paparazzi last night outside Madeo restaurant, calling them "cockroaches" who "ruin people's lives." • Madonna and Guy Richie were spotted out on a very public dinner date, perhaps to rebut recent rumors about an imminent split between the couple?

It really is sad that we expect female actors to be full of plastic to think they're attractive. They can't just look like... normal women.
Say what you will about SJP....but she never got that mole removed. And it is in the most unfortunate, witchy position possible.
I don't think she's the least sexy woman in the world. I wouldn't say she's a sex symbol per se, but I think she looks normal and natural. The only truly unsexy things about her SATC character is the constant smoking. I bet Carrie smells terrible.
I'm willing to buy the "Madge was touting the album, Guy was making a movie" excuse, except for one thing. The Rock Hall ceremony is a big deal. Honorees sometimes show up with tables full of family and friends. For Guy to skip it seems very cold.
SJP doesn't have Botox like I don't have an unhealthy m+ms addiction.
Not usually a fan of Alex Kuczynski, but in her book about plastic surgery, she was really funny about SJP's botox addiction- "working the bunny lines" I believe was the quote
I worked on Sex and the City for many years and I know a lot of people hate on SJP, but I gotta say, as a boss she ruled. Very nice, professional, and actually down-to-earth.
I find her very pretty and nobody cares about Maxim anyway.
I felt so horrible for her. I can't imagine being in that kind of position. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders about it, though.
GO SJP!!! I think she's incredibly sexy, and I have plenty of straight male friends who agree.
I think that might be the only sincere comment I've ever heard from a celebrity. Maxim can suck it.
@marvel girl: And when you say "we" you mean Maxim.
@JessicaLovejoy: Backstairsly: I have a mole to the right of my nose. My derm said not to mess with it; she would need to stitch it up, and she couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be a scar. SJP might have gotten similar advice.
Yeouch. Maxim sucks for even naming some celeb least sexy. Every woman that kinda looks like SJP is now questioning her attractiveness.
I'm not a big SJP fan, but that Maxim stuff was just so unnecessarily harsh. It was so schoolyard bully cruel. FUCK OFF MAXIM.
My husband commented the other day that SJP has an amazing body, so there, Maxim!
Not a huge SJP fan, but that says way more about Maxim than it does about her. Also, wasn't Avril Lavigne on that list? And wasn't she recently on the cover of Maxim?
She might not be traditionally pretty, but she is cute and energetic. Maybe too skinny, but attractiveness is often in the unusual.
I'd like to see the men that decided this, and then we can all rank their 'sexiness' too.
@shewhomustbeobeyed: nobody cares about Maxim anyway.
well that's def the truth.
maybe i'm in the minority, but i think she's gorgeous and always has been. she's sexy, beautiful, classy, smart, well-spoken... don't really have anything bad to throw in. aside from which, it's one thing to make "sexiest" lists, but "unsexiest"??? me= horrified. what insecure and lonely male thought that one up, hm?
What sort of shitty magazine votes on an Unsexiest Woman award? Fuck you, Maxim. Your idea of "sexy" is about as realistic and truthful as Rush Limbaugh's definition of "feminist."
Maxim must be age-discriminatory in their least sexy woman competition. Becuase I'd say plastic 60-year old celebrities with fish lips are far less sexy!
Also not a big SJP fan ('girls just wanna have fun' aside), but I liked her response to Maxim. And I like imagining Ferris Bueller's reaction to the magazine.
You just know the Maxim guys are a bunch of fratboy rejects that think Mystery is someone to emulate.
ouch thats just mean maxim.
i mean yeah i think she wears too much makeup but that doesnt mean shes is the unsexiest woman in the woorld.
"What the fuck is a Maxim?! Where he from, Africa? Your momma ain't name you no damn Maxim!"
Come on. Maxim is not the damn last word on beauty! They are not in reality! Every page is an airbrushed, tan, plastic girl sticking her but in the camera. Who are they to judge what everythings is beautiful?
And i wish SJP would get over this. I have heard her mention it at least three times. Its just giving them more power.
I'm no SJP fan, but that really irks me. For one, I can definitely see how some men would find her attractive, and for another, really? The unsexiest woman in the world? We need that sort of thing?
Also, she gets major respect for her response.
I think it's a backlash. She's been overexposed and capitalized on being a sex symbol (hello, SATC, Garnier commercials, Bitten)and that sort of thing invites heightened screnity. Live by the sword...
Also, I don't buy the argument that she serves as an empowering role model because she's not conventionally pretty. Her body is ridiculous, in the most unattenable for the everyday woman kind of way.
Is it really that bad to be called Unsexiest Woman Alive by the utterly disgusting and unintelligent ass holes who work for Maxim? Seriously. Unsexiest isn't even a word.
Maxim can kiss the collective female ass. Fucking schmucks.
Who remembers how cute she was in "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?" F*ck Maxim.
Maxim appears to be written by 13 year old boys so there's that. Also, say whatever you want about the patricia fields wardrobe, SJP herself and her body are awesome. I think Miranda even says that in an episode. Sucks if that's the only way the boys know how to judge a lady, but then again there WAS a southpark ranking the boys from hottest to ugliest... Does that sparkle?
I would love to see a photograph of all the Maxim writers and editors. I am sure they are all gorgeous specimens of the male sex.
@shewhomustbeobeyed: Yes! COMPLETELY. They're the man-bullies who yell derogatory comments to the girls they have crushes on.
The unsexiest woman in the world??? Fucking disgusting, I hate Maxim. And yeah. What about those ridiculous legs and stomach and breasts??? I would kill to have her body.
@summerwheatley: You know, this is the first time I have ever thought of it as a marriage between Ferris Bueller and Girl-From-Girls-Just-Wanna-Have-Fun. They are both sexy people.
SJP is totally sexy. Not in some typical LookatmeI'mPamAnderson! kind of way. She's got her own brand of sexy. Stupid Maxim.
@Brianne: Carrie quit smoking a while ago. She went on the patch.
Who the fuck pays attention to what Maxim says anyway? Unsexiest woman? Grow up ferchrissakes! I wouldn't place too much stock in what a man who reads Maxim has to say anyway. You tell 'em sister!
Less sexy famous women:
Joan Rivers
Rosie O'Donnell
My guess is the only purpose that blurb in Maxim served was to boost the writer's ego as he (or she) made sweeping judgments about one particular woman's ability to attract the opposite sex. I hope for one minute he (or she) felt better before they went back to being pathetic and miserable.
I've never thought of her as gorgeous or anything, but "unsexiest?" Seriously? a) is that even a word, b) no, it isn't, and c) she's not ugly by any stretch. So shut up.
I think we have a consensus that Maxim is the least sexy magazine in the world. Nothing turns me off more than misogynistic, ape-brained men making disparaging, judgmental statements about women based solely on their appearance.
SJP is very classy. My response wouldn't have been so nice. I think Maxim's editors are shocked that women beyond a certain age don't just shrivel up and die.
@cuteasabutton: I meant Maxim to grow up, not SJP. Love you girl!
I've always thought she was really attractive and quite charming. What do the dumbasses at Maxim know? Big fat nothing.
@Leiakat: "I'd like to see the men that decided this, and then we can all rank their 'sexiness' too."
I agree! A special "Rate this Douche" feature in Jezebel, perhaps?
I would imagine that Mr Rhody would be pretty displeased if I was named unsexiest woman alive, but probably not because it would reflect his judgement. Did she mean that her husband found her attractive until Maxim told him not to? Ferris would never do something like that.
She is clearly not unsexy (stupid, stupid double negative); she is a beautiful woman.
I'm not a Carrie Bradshaw fan, but SJP is a talented and cute gal in my books. Maxim has a whole lotta nerve posting a list of "unsexiest women"...makes me wonder if the guys who came up with this crap were dropped on their heads at birth. So gals, maybe give that birthing stool a re-think?
I think what's so offensive about this is it's a blatant attack on her looks. It's one thing to say that about Britney Spears, who, I'm sorry, is unsexy based more on her actions and choice of dress than anything else. She is still a very pretty girl. SJP is not TRYING to impose a sexpot image on people, they just thrust her into this category and rated her against people who would actually care.
@dontbogartthewine: Haha!I saw that episode the other night. Awesome!
@SVreader: How about "Rate the douche who works at Maxim"
You guys, it's Maxim. And everyone knows you can't be sexy enough for Maxim unless you have fake tits, a Mystic tan, smeared eyeliner, and a lack of talent. Also it helps if your cover shot makes it look like someone baptized you in a giant bowl of K-Y Jelly.
@katekate: Ah, thank you for making me laugh.
I couldn't laugh at it yesterday.
I hate Maxim. And quite honestly, some of the women they have featured in their magazine are offensive, both physically and intellectually. Those that are, pretty are more often than not, dumb as rocks. Also, what can be uglier than everyone looking exactly the same? Most of the women in Maxim have the EXACT same features...lots of plastic, and lots of photoshop.
SJP should just consider it a bullet dodged that none of the bros who work at Maxim will be slobbering over her.
@hortense: haha, brilliant! But I did just get the worst image ever in my head. Gross.
@demetria23: That wasn't nice. The point here isn't that SJP is sexy, but that the award of Unsexiest Woman is puerile and offensive, or to paraphrase SJP's "ragey and brutal", totally misogyfukinistic.
