AOL's site for men, Asylum.com, covers humor, sex, and weird news stories often with a lot of sarcasm. The content is funny in the same way as Perez Hilton is, dripping with misogyny that passes for sarcasm and a distinct lack of intellect.
Asylum recently posted a list of the most searched women on the Internet, rather than merely posting another editorialized, opinion-driven list of attractive stars. Fair enough. The results were based on searches done on AOL's Search Engine within the past year. The boys’ club at Asylum was kind enough to weed out the ladies "who are clearly not being checked up on for their physical appeal and charming nature." Although, they should have included a list without the omissions to show just what kind of women people around the world are searching for online, and exactly what percentage of searches for women are for informative purposes compared to those just wanting to stare at beautiful women.
That said, a few of the people on the list are quite surprising, rather, their position on the list is most shocking, especially if so-called “unattractive” women were filtered out. Here is a digest of some of our favorite ladies who made the list, and just where they landed in the ranking.
100. Ashley Judd
"Earlier this year, Judd got into a tiff with celebrity governor Sarah Palin over aerial hunting in Alaska. Now that's a 40-and-over (wolf) fight we wouldn't mind seeing." (Asylum)
98. Marilyn Monroe
Despite being dead for 47 years, her beauty has proven to be eternal.
96. Danica Patrick
Race car driving Danica Patrick will be on this list until she stops doing photoshoots sitting on cars while wearing just a bikini.
90. Hayden Panettiere
Asylum said "The dolphin-saving cheerleader has yet to fulfill her promise as a Lohan-like child-star-turned-tabloid-train-wreck. And her liver thanks her for that." Having a lesbian scene in Heroes, and enjoying it, definitely had people searching.
85. Anne Hathaway
Issues with her boyfriend turned her into a single woman, and that is exciting. Plus, her Academy Award nomination and stellar singing voice don't hurt her appeal.
78. Drew Barrymore
This year, Drew directed her first movie Whip It, about girls in the roller derby, and made out with Ellen Page for a story in Marie Claire. All that, and a huge supporter of LGBT equality.

77. Charlize Theron
Also another fantastic supporter of the LGBT community, this blond bombshell from South Africa continues to hold people's interest even without being in the news hardly at all this year.
72. Penelope Cruz
Winning Best Supporting Actress Oscar for playing a fiery bisexual spaniard in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona, plenty of people wanted to cruise Cruz.
68. Kate Winslet
"This year had Winslet reunite with Jack Dawson, and swear off the very nude scenes that have made the Oscar-winning actress so popular. Believe it when you don't see it." (Asylum)
64. Tila Tequila
Despite the launch pad to her fame--MySpace --becoming complete trash and fading off into the depths of cyber dumps somewhere, the bisexual reality star still has people searching.
60. Janet Jackson
In case anyone missed the memo, since it was a little short on media coverage, Michael Jackson, Janet's older brother passed away earlier this year. But Janet, handled the media onslaught with grace and aplomb.
56. Kate Moss
Of course a model who takes some of the most attractive photos in fashion history will continue to be searched, and those searching will still be drooling over her. Unless they are searching to keep up with her latest late-night exploits.
53. Pink
A tough girl who can rock. Mmmm.

51. Mariska Hargitay
Daughter of pin-up legend Jayne Mansfield, Mariska is definitely attractive. She has smarts, too! And not just in her role on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.
50. Katy Perry
"Katy rode to stardom by adding a pair of unusually firm and shapely breasts to Jill Sobule's time-honored girl-kissing formula. But the 24-year-old is also more than happy to use her best assets to help others: A plaster mold of her mounds recently raised 3,000 dollars for a cancer charity" (Asylum)
48. Anna Paquin
Going nude for her role in HBO's vampire hit True Blood was quite a hit. Also, getting engaged to her co-star and love interest on the show, Steven Moyer, sparked the interest of all those desperate romantics out there.
45. Emma Watson
Asylum said "By choosing to attend college at Brown, located in paparazzi-free Providence, R.I., Watson has signaled she's wary of the increasing attention she's drawn as she morphs from a bratty schoolgirl to a very attractive young lady." I don't think anyone has forgotten about her Burberry ads...
39. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton brought some humor to the Presidential campaign with her Funny or Die video - sans night-vision sex scenes. Way to go, Paris!
37. Tyra Banks
"Banks's much ballyhooed weave-less unveiling of 2009 revealed ... hair. And not the kind that made her forehead look any smaller." (Asylum)

34. Salma Hayek
Pair her up with Alec Baldwin in a few episodes of 30 Rock, and watch the number of searches climb.
33. Jillian Michaels
Asylum thinks "The tightly-abbed trainer is a big part of why being The Biggest Loser is now associated with winning. (And stretch marks.)" Either way, she has no shortage of lesbian fans.
32. Holly Madison
Holly Madison dumped Hugh Hefner, only to land an even cheesier boyfriend than the old king of porn. Who could it possibly be? As Asylum put it "flair-wearer Criss Angel."
29. Kendra Wilkinson
Besides being one of the former Girls Next Door, her new husband, wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles Hank Baskett, was booted from the team to make room for notorious dog fighter Michael Vick.
25. Lindsay Lohan
At first, most people thought her lesbian relationship with Sam Ronson was just another one of her publicity stunts, but Lindsay is still trying to reconcile things with her ex. Between the news of the relationship, Lindsay's ups and downs with alcohol and drugs, and the news of her breakup (and all her tweets about it), she was destined to be in the top 25.
23. Michelle Obama
Future first ladies take note: the sleeveless dress has been done, maybe try a belly shirt. (Your stomach better look as fantastic as Michelle's arms, or no deal.) Michelle can also hula hoop.

19. Carrie Prejean
"If it wasn't for the outspoken beauty queen, we would have never been able to add awesome phrases such as "opposite marriage" and "anti-hottie prejudice" to our repertoire." (Asylum)
17. Kelly Clarkson
There is nothing short of hot about Kelly from her music to her looks.
15. Taylor Swift
"Uh oh, the charming country starlet has prevailed over Beyoncé once again. We can think of one gay fish with a possible touch of the downs who will not be pleased." (Asylum)
14. Kate Gosselin
Its hard not to be frequently searched when you marry a guy like Jon, and then proceed to have not just one or two, but eight kids with him.
12. Angelina Jolie
I am going to bet that lesbians were a fairly good size percentage of this one. Although, its definitely no surprise.
11. Lady GaGa
Asylum says "It's a safe assumption that a high percentage of "Lady Gaga" searches are followed by the word "penis."" I am going to disagree and say that a high percentage of "Lady GaGa" searches were made by someone with a penis. That, and dance club DJs.

7. Britney Spears
"Britney's like your crazy uncle whose antics used to annoy you until you realized you wouldn't have anything to talk about at family reunions if he weren't around. Also, like your crazy uncle, Britney loves to wear bikinis." (Asylum)
5. Megan Fox
3. Farrah Fawcett
Asylum readers have also voted her the number one pin-up girl of all time by an enornous margin.
2. Rihanna
Abusive relationship aside, this chick is one talented and attractive pop star.
1. Mandy Moore
Asylum puts the level of shock into perspective with "just got word that Satan is frantically searching his closet for his winter coat."
