People Magazine’s Annual Popularity Contest – the most beautiful people of 2007.

Likely a double issue. Needless to say, it’s a well selling issue. Due out this week and perhaps this explains the Janice Min/Us Weekly aggression on TomKat? Knowing that People was putting out a heavyweight, Janice fights back with a major contender of her own?

Battle at the newsstands? Beauty vs. Dirty Smut? Coincidence or conspiracy?

Anyway, as you can see, Drew made the cover this year. And her Lucky You co-star Eric Bana also made the inside. Perfectly timed too – Lucky You comes out next week. As you know, his weird little lips prevent his entry on my Freebie Five, though I know many of you have him on yours, and this photo should only add to your quiveration. He does have great hair, non?

Others who made the cut?

Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, of course. And Jennifer Garner. And Reese Witherspoon. Kerry Washington, Helen Mirren, Matthew McConaughey, though I can’t see why, Wentie Miller, Patrick Dempsey, Carrie Underwood just because no one can believe a Blonde can be a Bitch, and Pete Wentz, fulfilling the “token” role of “unconventional beauty” though if he wasn’t trolling hand in hand with Ashlee Simpson all the time, bet your boob job he wouldn’t be on there.

And as you would expect from People Magazine, just to cater to the MiniVan Majority, there is a little Rossum that has been included too…courtesy of none other than Jennifer Aniston on why she loves yoga, an old quote but classic Rossum all the same:

"I"ve had everything from deep laughter to deep sadness, where I was crying through moves. It"s good to get that stuff out. You feel like you"re having a therapy session, a workout and a meditation at the same time."

Maybe I’m just not the sensitive type. But to me, crying through moves is like shouting at the ocean – also one of her therapeutic habits. It’s total cheese. But hey – that’s what gets Jen through. Or so she says. Because at the end of the day, we all know her best friends are ciggies and lemon water just to kill the appetite. True beauty indeed.
