The most desirable woman of 2012 is Jennifer Lawrence, the Hunger Games, beating out regular women on the list like Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox and Rihanna, according to an international poll released by the website AskMen.
Jennifer Lawrence rose to the top of the list from No. 47 last year on the heels of the box-office smash while also revealing her sexy and funny side in the independent film Silver Linings Playbook, AskMen editor in chief James Bassil said.
"Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors," Bassil said, adding that the public still knows too little about the 22-year-old actress to form a negative opinion.
The poll surveyed 2.4 million readers asking them to vote on which celebrity they would choose as a prospective partner, according to the website, which is a unit of News Corp. The top 99 are then compiled into the annual poll.
Lawrence bumped last year's winner, Sofia Vergara of Modern Family fame, down to No. 12, while reality star Kim Kardashian plummeted to No. 98.
Jennifer Lawrence, who landed the top spot on the annual poll, says compared to her acting counterparts she's considered "fat".
"In Hollywood, I'm obese," the Hunger Games star told Elle magazine. "I'm considered a fat actress."
"I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors."
"I'm never going to starve myself for a part. I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss (her Hunger Games) character, so I'm going to skip dinner."'
