Rashida didn't make the cover, but she made the cut!!!

People's yearly Most Beautiful issue is out. The usual suspects were there: Brad, Angelina, Halle, George, JLo and Beyonce. Some welcomed new faces: Jon Hamm, Freida Pinto, Dev Patel. And some obvious behind the scenes PR machinations - Chelsea Handler. Chelsea's pretty, but it's pretty interesting how she's showing up in a bunch of photospreads within a relatively short period of time. While annoying, it doesn't compare to Melissa Rycroft's inclusion; yet another example of Dumped Chick guilting her way into People Magazine.

But Rashida Jones made the cut, as she should. Included in the Pretty Funny section with the likes of Fey, Poehler, and De Rossi, I'm glad that People Magazine didn't have their heads up their asses regarding Rashida. And here's hoping that Hollywood will follow People's lead and get Rashida in their film projects.

Christina Applegate was selected as the most beautiful; I think she was worthy, although I can't shake the feeling that it was more about her double mastectomy than anything else. Mind you, Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson were the most recent Most Beautiful covergirls and although they were attractive enough for the title, they also had projects they needed to promote (Words and Music and Fools Gold/My Best Friend's Girl).

I do respect People for attempting to add some depth to this yearly celebrity fellatio; however, was it necessary for them to include a comment about Christina standing Brad Pitt up 20 years ago?I mean, couldn't People allow the princesses to marinate on an issue that could actually touch their lives (breast cancer) versus regaling them with tales of a TV girl humiliating Brad Pitt?

And on that note... Jennifer Aniston wasn't on the list; neither wasn't her ex, Douchebag Peeboy!!!!
