I don't get the Jessica Alba obsession

I should preface this with saying that I never watched her tv show nor have seen the Fantastic Four movies - more out of lack of interest in the subject matter than anything related to Jessica Alba.

So today I flipped on E! and they were showing "Sexiest Latin Celebs" or something along that vein. I came in at #5 which was Enrique Inglesias. Fair enough. #4 was J. Lo. This surprised me because I was wondering what 3 they would put above J. Lo, who, despite all the "diva" stories, I have no issues with and rather like. She's stunningly gorgeous, can sing, dance, act, runs her own line of perfume. While the quality of her talents and each of her endeavours in them could always be debated, she appears to be a woman focussed on creating a name/career/brand for herself and not letting anything get in the way of that (like P. Diddy's issues). I liken my admiration for her to the admiration I have for Madonna. May be wacko, may be off the wall, but knows what she wants and works hard for it. And as I was pondering her role at #4, I was thinking I could develop a little girl crush on her. She is beautiful.

#3 was Ricky Martin. No issues there. As cheesy as the music may be, the man is hot. (Digressing a bit - how did I miss that Enrique's body was so hot? Man alive!)
So then I'm on the phone and sort of missing the show. I look up and realize that #2 is Jessica Alba and #1 is Selma Hayek. WTF?!?! As I mentioned, I don't get why all the Jessica Alba hype. Yes, she's very pretty. But so are thousands of women and hundreds of celebrities. And I'm sure she's a nice enough person. But, I don't get why I'm supposed to care about her. To me, she and Sienna Miller fall in the same category. Celebrities because they're pretty and alive. ?!?!?!?
And don't even get me started on Selma Hayek. Actually I can't really get started on Selma Hayek. I don't like her. And I don't know why. But I never have. There's something annoying about her. She goes in the Penelope Cruz category - something I can't quite put my finger on that annoys me but all I know is that I never want to have to see her.

All of which leads me to my question. What the heck is E! thinking?! How do you even *think* about putting together a Luscious Latin list and not have J. Lo at the top?! I'd love to see the criteria used because I don't see the logic. So E!, consider this my strongly worded letter. There's no way Selma or Jessica top Jennifer. You need to re-examine this.
