Last week, we brought you a list of the 100 sexiest men on television and it was a pretty controversial list. I’m sure this week will be as well. I enlisted the help of my husband with this one so anyone unhappy with the lack of Pauley Perrette can address their concerns to him. In a lot of ways, this list was harder for me to compile than the men. Okay, that’s not entirely true. I had no problem coming up with names for inclusion. It was crossing off names that was a bit of a problem but here it is. Cut from from nearly 200, your 100 Sexiest Actresses on Television for 2011. Remember, as with the men, this list is inalphabetical order by first name. Enjoy and make sure you come back next Sunday for the 100 Hottest Men in Film. Feel free to leave suggestions for that one in the comments section below!
