Actress Sofia Vergara named ‘most desirable woman’

New York: Sofia Vergara has been named the most desirable woman of 2012, in a poll conducted by men’s online magazine AskMen.com.

The ‘Modern Family’ star jumped two spots from last year’s poll. The 39-year-old brunette bombshell beat out Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton, ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ star Rooney Mara and Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, who held the number 2, 3, and 4 spots, respectively. “I am so honored to be AskMen’s most desired woman this year,” the New York Daily News quoted the actress as saying. “A big thank you to all the men who desire me,” she added. Fashion-forward singer Nicki Minaj took the No.5 spot, followed by Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson and Kim Kardashian. Rihanna and South African model Candice Swanepoel round out the list’s top 10. ANI
