Jessica Simpson: Is it mean to point out that Jessica Simpson was a Mouseketeer reject? We don't think so -- not when you consider that sexy stars Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe, Ben Affleck and Kirsten Dunst also share that distinction.

By including her on this list, we're saying... more she's sexy today, even in high-waisted jeans, and oh, how we would have liked to see her as a child with a bad haircut having a good time with Britney Spears.

We know we've left some truly sexy stars out. We're sure we've also included some who don't float your boat. Email us at heymsn@microsoft.com or tell us about your favorites on our message board and we'll feature them in an upcoming gallery.
