People has unveiled its 20th annual 100 Most Beautiful People list, and overall we have to say the list was fairly predictable. Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry and People’s Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman all made the list along with Michelle Obama and those much discussed arms of hers. Pop phenoms Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were also not shocking additions.

We highly approve of relative newcomers and on-screen couples Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart from “Twilight,” and Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto of “Slumdog Millionaire.” We’re 100% behind the decision for a “Stars Without Makeup” section, including our favorite supermodel ever, Cindy Crawford, and the cute girls of “90210. Kudos also to the comedians on the list who prove nothing is sexier than a sense of humor. Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Mann and Chelsea Handler all made the cut.

Now on to the more surprising decisions!

Christina Applegate made the cover! We’ve loved the actress since her early days on “Married with Children,” and though the show isn’t a smash, we were glad to see Applegate rebound into the spotlight with “Samantha Who?” as well as a stint on Broadway. Though she was an unlikely choice, her breast cancer double mastectomy and recovery story is surely one of the most beautiful tales we witnessed all year. At 37 years old, Applegate remains as pretty on the outside as she is in her heart.

Here’s where People’s list starts to fall off. Aside from the obvious choices that bored us, the magazine screws up and picks Taylor Momsen, young Jenny from “Gossip Girl,” instead of Leighton Meester or Blake Lively, the stunning Blair and Serena. Sure, they might have been on last year’s list, but they are far and above the prettiest young things on TV.

And the worst thing about the list? People singles out two of the Jonas Brothers—Nick and Joe Jonas—and excludes Kevin Jonas from the list. Way to be completely shallow! As women who don’t even fully understand or appreciate the obsession with the Jonas Brothers, we still think this move is totally screwed up, and thus have soured on the list.

The 100 Most Beautiful People in the World issue hits newsstands later this week. Do you agree with the magazine’s picks? Who would you include on the list? [People][E!]

    PRADICTABLE!

    Its not really a "whos prettier" Pagent but really just a popularity contest and who can throw on so much makeup they look ten years younger. But I do agree with Hugh Jackman cause he is truley the sexiest man alive ;)

    I think that Isla Fisher should be on this list, along with Keira Knightly, Anne Hathaway, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Jessica Parker and Natalie Portman... Not Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson. The only reason people like him is because of the role he played, no one noticed him when he played Cedric Diggory on Harry Potter. They are in love with Edward, not Robert Pattinson.

    I couldn't care less about People magazine or their list but as a parent of a teenaged boy, I've got to say that it really sucked that they singled out two out of three of the Jonas brothers. Leaving off the oldest one is so intentionally cruel and that kid is what, maybe 20? Very shallow and mean-spirited. Pretty much confirmed my belief that People is only marginally better than tabloids like the Star and National Enquirer.

    I think its unfair they had 2 of the Jonas Brothers, and not Kevin when he is the sweetest and most naturally handsome of the three. Even people who like Nick or Joe better say Kev is the sweetest and most real. I understand Nick and Joe were on the 'Under 21' portion, in which Kev doesnt apply but they could have added him in another part. I dont think they dislike Kevin or anything, after all, they did name him part of the 21 club in the People's Sexiest Men issue.

    Also, the issue doesnt JUST mean beauty on the outside, its more the inside... so yeah people like Michelle Obama may not be most good looking but they are slightly attractive with a beautiful inside (and dont use that in a dirty way lol) I mean their heart
