TV One Access's 16 Sexiest Black Women Alive

The list also includes model/host Tyra Banks, singer Alicia Keys and “Deja Vu” star Paula Patton. There are other categories, such as “sexiest athletes” and “sexiest sense of style.” Michelle Obama, wife of Sen. Barack Obama, receives a special mention for “quintessential complete package.” Wouldn’t you like to know what she thinks of that? “TV One Access” didn’t mention Oprah Winfrey — proving that you can’t be on every list. But wait … “The women selected as our 16 sexiest black women aren’t just pretty faces,” said Monique Chenault, senior producer of “TV One Access.” “Each one of them is uniquely talented, strong-minded and self-assured. Now what could be sexier than that?” Is strong-minded and self-assured are the keys, where’s Oprah?

Stating the obvious, this list is all kinds of wrong. I agree with Halle's placement, but Alex Wek. Are they serious? Alek Wek has to be the ugliest woman I ever seen, in fact only about 5 of the women actually deserve a slot.
