FHM UK’s Hot 100 2009: Cheryl Cole, Top Babe

We're always a little thrown by the fact that FHM US and FHM UK—two versions of ostensibly the same magazine—both compile their own lists of the World's Sexiest Women... and end up with different results.

Yes, we know it's all about regional preferences, but should the Sexiest Women in the World be, well, universally agreed upon (or, er, at least agreed upon globally)? We'll leave you to mull on that one for a minute.

In any case: FHM UK's list of the 100 Sexiest Women is out, and Cheryl Cole (of Girls Aloud fame) has taken the top seed. (Megan Fox, who claimed FHM US's top slot is number two.)

From what we can tell, the US list is still being compiled—but we'll be sure to let you know how the two compare.
