Sexist or not, it’s missing Bridget Moynahan and I find that the most offensive.

Too bad Kim Porter isn’t a considered a “celebrity.” She looked absolutely AMAZING just weeks before giving birth to twins and WONDERFUL shortly after they were born.

The only difference between this list and the other “hottest celebrities” list is that this features women that are or have been pregnant. Other than that it’s the same. They’re only choosing the most popular celebs, the ones that have the most google searches and all that. Because seriously I cannot for the life of me understand how Angelina Jolie, whose body has looked far more scary-skinny during her pregnancy than remotely hot, made it to this list. It’s nothing more than some sort of popularity contest.

Maxim is definitely a shallow, frat-boy mag, and, yes, these women were hot to begin with. But I also think it’s a change to have them listing women who are in their temporary not-perfect state. Of course, the first 5-6 months, most pregnant women are glowing and gorgeous, it’s those last couple of months where all the glamour goes out the window. I do resent this tendency to focus so much on the women’s post-baby bodies. I remember Debra Messing saying that she was bothered that people didn’t ask how Roman was doing, they asked “Have you lost most of the weight yet?”

Still, it’s better than having a list of not-hot women. They listed the five least sexy women the other day (I think it was Maxim) and Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker were on the list. Someone must not be wearing their glasses. And, of course, it’s a sin for a woman to be over 40 as well, with that remark on Halle Berry about over 40 pregnant women not being hot. Anyway, I am sure none of these women is going to frame this Maxim piece in the kid’s nursery!

Cool…or Gross…

Hmmmm…

Let me thi—

GROSS.

When are we as women feeling MOST vulnerable about our appearances? When the belly skin is hanging down to the big toe, when the birth plumbing is still so “compromised” 2 weeks after baby that we still pee when we sneeze, when the hormones are suddenly going “wha- who? huh?” making our hair, skin, nails, etc a nasty mess (for some of us) several weeks postpartum…

So yeah…the last thing I’d want in that state is to see how much “better” all those mini-basketball belly preggo celebrities are/were. I know, I know…they have had the ultimate in personal training and meal prep for YEARS prior to pregnancy/birth…but when I see Halle Berry at five months pregnant, looking rosy and glow-y and like she is actually about five *minutes* pregnant…and then I look at MYSELF at five months pregnant AND more than fifteen years younger, yet my skin is broken out, my hair’s greasy, I burp in my SLEEP, and people keep asking “are you SURE it isn’t twins?”…yeah, I think it’s a GROSS list- not a cool one!

I’m right there with katie. We do the same thing but then are quick to be offended when men follow suit. Let’s be honest ladies; before we can dog them for being dogs, we have to look at our own behavior/comments….

well pregnancy and being pregnant and having babies is hot and chic all over “Hollywood” so Maxim is not going to be left out. And no, we don’t, well I don’t, look like Heidi or Jamie, Angelina etc. But I know even I would look I would look a helluva lot better if I had a personal trainer, hairstylist, make-up artist. etc. And I agree with Lillybet that Maxim ALL the time (not just the pregnant hot list) is a lot better than the wigged out porn found on the i-net9 and underage at that.) That is a scary fact really, when you have an almost teenage son.

I’m really torn. At first, I was totally into it because pregnant women ARE beautiful! But then … I sat in the doctors office yesterday with two pregnant 16 yr old girls who were talking about the list and how it was a big deal in the high school because the guys were “totally into it.” Hate the idea that teenage pregnancy may become “hot” but overall, love Maxim and as an adult who felt sexier pregnant than ever before… I say no problem!

women do the same thing to men (sexiest man alive) maybe women should just understand maxim is a mens magazine, it’s not about what women want or like

and if they like the knocked up ladies more power to them

I agree with both Mindy and Katie. A few years ago you would have NEVER seen a list of “hot, pregnant women”! Hopefully, a few years from now the list will include more celebs that didn’t become thin right after giving birth.
