#1. Demi Moore, 46. She's been over-40 for six years, and just keeps looking better. Plus she's the consumate cougar, with her 20-something hubby Ashton Kutcher. So, as 2008 is the "Year of the Cougar," Demi is our 2008 Over-40 Hottie winner!
#2. Halle Berry, 42. Could pass for 26. Seriously. We bet she still gets carded. Hot.
#3. Faith Hill, 41. Singing must keep you young. Faith is living, hottie proof.
#4. Salma Hayek, 42. Mommyhood agrees with Salma. And only enhances her hottitude.
#5. Cloris Leachman, 82. Dancing? On TV? At 82? That's hot.
#6. Julia Roberts, 41. She sure is one "Pretty Woman" (who's over 40).
#7. Kristin Davis, 43. Meet our pick for the hottest "Sex and the City" star. Keep clicking to see how many places she beat her co-stars by!
#8. Fran Drescher, 51. If she plays her cards right, she could be the next senator from New York AND one of our hot over-40s. Two incredible honors in one year. Bravo.
#9. Mariska Hargitay, 44. Coolest over-40 name in our top 10.
#10. Teri Hatcher, 44. Looks better than she did at 34. How does this happen?
#11. Elle Macpherson, 44. The only thing that kept her out of the Top 10 was she started as a supermodel, so she had a head start in the looks department.
#12. Helen Mirren, 63. Has a 63-year-old woman ever looked better?
#13. Nicollette Sheridan, 45. Our second "Desperate Housewives" star to make the cut - congrats! Plus she dumped Michael Bolton, a hot move.
#14. Sandra Bullock, 44. She is ageless - she hasn't changed at all in 20 years.
#15. Julianne Moore, 48. Classy hottie.
#16. Kylie Minogue, 40. Our first new Over-40 Club member. Welcome! Have a drink! Mingle!
#17. Angela Bassett, 50. 50? Are you kidding?
#18. Kristin Chenowith, 40. We'll put her at the "new member table" with Kylie.
#19. Carla Bruni, 40. At 30 she was dating random classic rock musicians. At 40, Queen of France. Hot.
#20. Famke Jannsen, 43. Gets hotter with every passing day.
#21. Lucy Liu, 40. Our first "Charlie's Angel" to hit the 40 mark. She'll be saving seats for Drew and Cameron.
#22. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 47. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
#23. Debra Messing, 40. Grace is aging like fine wine.
#24. Michelle Obama, 44. Our next First Lady is also an over-40 hottie. She and Carla Bruni should compare political-wife hottie notes.
#25. Naomi Watts, 40. This one truly surprise us, we had her pegged at 32, tops.
#26. Sarah Palin, 44. She was thisclose to being our first VP hottie. Maybe next election!
#27. Mary Louise Parker, 44. Hot show, hot bod - total hottie.
#28. Kelly Ripa, 38. We know, she's not over 40. But we want to give her our Honorary Over-40 Hottie seat this year, because she's going to be in the club probably her whole life. We love you Kelly!
#29. Diane Sawyer, 62. Asking tough questions, staying cool, being hot, all at the same time - that's hot.
#30. Christie Brinkley, 54. Has anyone ever dealt with a dirtbag husband scandal better than Christie? So hot.
#31. Jean Smart, 57. There msut be a mistake on her birth certificate. No way she's 57.
#32. Joan Allen, 52. The folks at AARP had to flip out when Joan turned 50. If she hasn't been on the cover of their magazine in a bikini yet, the editor should be fired.
#33. Sarah Jessica Parker, 43. Those sillies at Maxim said she was not hot. They are such sillies.
#34. Tina Turner, 69. And she's just starting what must be her 237th world tour. A true force of nature.
#35. Courtney Cox, 44. She's got to tell her 39-year-old best friend Jen Aniston that turning 40 doesn't mean you stop being hot.
#36. Sheryl Crow, 46. She's one of those hippie types who just gets cooler with age. Rock on.
#37. Marg Helgenberger, 50. Keep fighting those baddies on TV, Marg - it keeps you young!
#38. Madonna, 50. Her physical appearance has its proponents and detractors, but you have to admit its pretty cool that a 50-year-old woman can have a 32-year-old baseball stud worth $300 million wrapped around her bony little finger.
#39. Kim Catrall, 52. And she still poses nude! And looks great doing it!
#40. Reba McEntire, 53. Sings, acts, dances, and still looks great in an evening gown. She's Reba, what do you expect?
