Sarah Jessica Parker Still Upset Over Unsexiest Woman Alive Honor

Sarah Jessica Parker Still Upset Over Unsexiest Woman Alive Honor

Sarah Jessica Parker says she was deeply offended by a Maxim magazine poll that named her the "unsexiest woman alive."

The star of "Sex and the City" said in an interview with Grazia magazine recently, "Wow! It's kind of shocking. It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger."

The actress, who turns 43 next week, defended her look, saying, "Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No."

Parker dismissed the opinions of the poll, which ranked her below Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna and Britney Spears. "Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not," she said.

Still, when the magazine called her a "Barbaro-faced broad", she had to admit it hurt to be compared to a Thoroughbred racehorse.

"I guess you can't please all people," Sarah Jessica Parker said. The star of Failure to Launch and The Family Stone has certainly pleased advertisers, considering her image is prominently used to promote brand names like Garnier and Gap.
Sarah Jessica Parker may not be considered pretty by Maxim, but she has pretty interesting timing. The poll was released six months ago.
So why is she upset about it now? Why now, in March, bring up an October 2007 article that compared her to May's Kentucky Derby winner? Did her husband Matthew Broderick finally get through his stack of men's magazines?
Sarah Jessica Parker said Broderick was also offended by the article. "It has to do with his judgment too," she said. "It's condemnation, it's insane. What can I do?"
Well, she can publicly open this personal wound, just in time to get attention for her new film, Sex and the City: The Movie. The big screen version of the hit show hits theaters in a month, reteaming Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Kristin Davis has also made headlines recently with the emergence of a series of sex photos. The pictures were taken years ago, but were exposed in the same week as Sarah Jessica Parker's delayed complaint.
Coincidence? Maybe. But don't be surprised when Kim Cattrall gets into a catfight caught-on-tape and Cynthia Nixon announces she's been abducted by aliens.
