Men's magazine Maxim under fire after list of 'unsexiest' women resurfaces with shocking first place

The early 2000s were a different time - and a Maxim article from 2007 listing the 'unsexiest' women has ruffled some feathers after it resurfaced and went viral. The men's magazine, which is known for featuring scantily clad celebrities, released the list nearly two decades ago. Entitled 'Unsexiest Women Alive,' the list contained five female stars and a brief description for each one explaining the reasoning behind their placement on the list. The unfortunate list was recently shared in a recent Reddit post, leaving many users horrified over who was chosen. First on the list was Sarah Jessica Parker, with the magazine claiming she was the 'least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women' who ironically starred in a show with the word "sex" in the title, as per a Today article published at the time. 'How the hell did this [horse] 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?' read Sarah Jessica's description, per Second on the list was Amy Winehouse, who died four years later, in 2011. The site mentioned 'hemorrhaging translucent skin, a rat's nest mane, and lashes that look more like surgically attached bats,' as to what landed her on the least sexy list. Third was Grey's Anatomy actress Sandra Oh, with the outlet citing her 'cold bedside manner and boyish figure.' Fourth on the list was legendary pop star Madonna, with her 'self-righteous bellyaching and rapid postnuptial deterioration' listed as reasons why. '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,' Maxim Magazine said, as per Stuff. Number five was Britney Spears, with Maxim listing her messy private life, weight gain, and her 'losing the ability to perform' as what landed her there. The magazine slammed her for 'filling chicken-grease-stained sweatpants on the cover of every trashy tabloid and gossip blog on the Internet' and having 'gained two kids, two useless ex-husbands, and about 23 pounds of Funyun pudge,' according to Pajiba. The article was slammed at the time for it's cruel list, with many outlets reporting on it. The list appeared to be made as a joke in conjunction their Hot 100 list, which is dedicated to the 'sexiest' women of that year. In 2007, the top spots on their Hot 100 list went to Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, and Christina Aguilera. The 'unsexiest' list has now come under fire again after it resurfaced on Reddit thread, with stunned users rushing to the comment section to share their thoughts. 'Sarah Jessica Parker has always had an amazing bod, a gorgeous smile, amazing hair, and those hypnotizing eyes,' declared one user. 'She was the freaking Lead in that show, and the whole franchise has her at the core. She is a bombshell hottie.' 'It seems that with SJP, Madonna, and Britney, they're punishing women who used their sex appeal to build their own profiles in ways that centered their own experience,' another observed. 'Then had the audacity to age, not cater to the male gaze, or gain like five pounds. Amy Winehouse also was not super traditionally feminine. 'Other than that, this list is just random gorgeous women. It's early days of men lashing out about not being centered.' 'This is a "let's pick five famously beautiful women to take down a peg" list. It's a pathetic ego trip,' slammed another. Number five was Britney Spears (seen in 2007), with the outlet slamming her messy private life, weight gain and her 'losing the ability to perform' in regards to what landed her there '[Sandra Oh] on the list because of "her cold bedside manner" - I don't know how to break it to this writer but [her Grey's Anatomy character] Cristina Yang is not a real person,' mocked someone else. 'I hate to be all 'kids today' but they truly don't understand the level of misogyny that women and girls were exposed to in the 2000s,' another shared. Sarah Jessica had spoken about how much the article upset her at the time, calling it 'brutal.' 'Am I really the unsexiest woman in the world?' she said in an interview with Grazia magazine. 'Wow! It's kind of shocking.' 'It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger,' she added. Maxim has removed the article from its website, and went on to name the Sex And The City star as its 'unexpected crush' in 2008.

Destination X fans spot huge hint that axed players will return in twist

Destination X, hosted by Rob Brydon, launched last week and the first episode of the BBC show saw three contestants eliminated from the competition just 15 minutes in Destination X viewers are convinced that three contestants who were eliminated just minutes into the first episode will return. Some fans have even spotted a potential clue hinting that the trio didn't actually leave the competition after all. ‌ The new BBC show, which launched last Wednesday, sees contestants tasked with guessing where they are, based on clues and observations, at various locations whilst touring Europe. Host Rob Brydon, 60, dismissed three of the thirteen players before they had left the 'airport' though. ‌ Fans have since suggested that they spotted the trio later in the episode whilst the remaining contestants took on a challenge in Alsace. It comes amid speculation that they will return at some point after their 'exits' in Baden-Baden. ‌ Retired detective sergeant Claire, 51, economics graduate Ashvin, 23, and historian Chloe-Anne, 27, had bid farewell at the airport in Germany after failing to secure a place on the Destination X bus, which takes the players on the tour. They however later appeared to be in a scene filmed in France. Claire, Ashvin and Chloe-Anne, wearing the same outfits, seemed to be sat in a coffee shop by the "box of tricks" that the remaining contestants entered for a challenge in Mulhouse in the Alsace region. Those still competing had to answer questions and then look out of the box for clues. ‌ Rob had suggested that the trio had left though. After introducing the contestants in the first episode, he said that only ten of the original thirteen would be "progressing" beyond the airport. Claire, Ashvin and Chloe-Anne were eliminated moments later after losing two short challenges. The host told them: "I'm afraid it's goodbye. Please leave the airport." He then teased in a voiceover to viewers in the episode: "Well, that should show my remaining players who pulls the strings around here as the magical mystery tour I'm sending them on will have plenty of twists." ‌ Claire, Ashvin and Chloe-Anne seemingly popping up later in the episode didn't go unnoticed by fans. One viewer wrote on X: "These 3 people in destination x's box scene look exactly like the 3 people who couldn't get on the flight. They are definitely coming into the came at one point." Another said: "1st episode. Pretty sure that when the contestants were in the box in the square we got a quick glimpse of the girl in the sundress who lost out at the 1st hurdle, sitting at a table back to the camera. Maybe the other 2 were there as well." Whilst a viewer wrote on Reddit: "The three eliminated players were shown sat outside a cafe, when they did the quick shot scene for the mystery box in Alsace. At 28m54secs into the episode." ‌ It comes amid speculation that the trio will be back, in a twist similar to the latest series of the Traitors. Sharing their thoughts over the potential, one person said recently: "I bet you the three gone will come back in like ep4." Another viewer speculated: "Those 3 people are coming back like the Traitors yknow." Whilst third said: "They're going to do a Traitors and bring those 3 back aren't they?" Destination X continues on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday from 9pm.

EastEnders' Ross Marshall made a disturbing discovery on Joel's laptop in tonight's episode of the BBC soap - has he finally had enough of his son's sick behaviour? Joel Marshall was caught by his father Ross in tonight's episode of EastEnders, as he made a shock discovery on his son's laptop. ‌ Since joining the show earlier this year, fans have been aware of Joel's misogynistic mindset and have witnessed some of his sick acts, including assaulting a stranger on a tube and recording himself being intimate with Avani. It was later revealed that Ross paid off a girls' mother in Australia, after he had up skirted a girl in his class. ‌ Ross later found the video of Avani, but Joel managed to talk himself out of things once again. In tonight's episode however, it appeared Joel's father had finally had enough of his sick acts - as he made a shock discovery. It comes after an EastEnders legend was rushed to hospital after a deadly attack by a familiar face. ‌ Ross and Joel sat down in the living room sharing beers as Joel showed his father a video of influencer Drake Zagan, who he seems to idolise. As Joel walked out the room, Ross was left disgusted when he heard Drake saying feminism was a lie, and that a women's only job is to find a boyfriend. He was then left raging when he found a number of "100% illegal" up skirting and changing room videos on his teenage son's laptop, as he threw his laptop in the sink with the water running. ‌ "I do not want this filth in my house!", Ross exclaimed. "You are a revolting, arrogant disgusting little pervert!" Fans were left overjoyed that Ross had finally clocked on to how much of a "creep" his son was. ‌ Taking to Reddit, one fan penned: "Hallelujah Ross has finally wised up to his creepy son," as another penned: "Why has it taken that long for Ross to realise what a creep his son is? At least he's finally doing something about it." Another fan wrote: "wheyyyy ross finally grew a fkn backbone." The explosive scenes come just after Joel's mum was mentioned for the first time. Last night, we learnt Joel's mum was called Cleo, and cheated on Ross while in Australia. It came after fans believed his mum was Zoe Slater, in line with her return. ‌ Despite this, fans are still convinced that Zoe is Joel's mum, with many believing Cleo is a "cover up name." There's more drama for Joel next week, as spoilers reveal he's left reeling when he finds out Avani has had a termination without him even knowing she was pregnant with his baby. How will the storyline progress - and will we ever meet Joel's mum?
