Sofia Vergara Voted Most Desirable Woman in the World

Sofia Vergara may be hard to understand on Modern Family, but the results of a new AskMen.com poll are easy to comprehend: the actress has been voted The Most Desirable Woman of 2012.

Vergara, 40, is the oldest female yet to take home the title, and she follows last year's winner, Blake Lively; the 2010 champion Emmanuelle Chriqui; and Eva Mendes, who occupied the top spot in 2009.

9. Rihanna

7. Scarlett Johansson
6. Emma Stone
5. Nicki Minaj
4. Miranda Kerr

DO YOU AGREE WITH THESE RESULTS? IS SOFIA VERGARA THE MOST DESIRABLE WOMAN IN THE WORLD?

Katy Perry to Perform at Grammy Awards, Super Bowl Pre-Party

Katy Perry has booked her first U.S. performances since breaking up with Russell Brand late last year. It looks like she's got a busy week ahead of her, too.

The 27-year-old hits the stage at a private pre-Super Bowl party in Indianapolis Saturday, then will do double duty on Grammy weekend in Los Angeles.

On February 10, she'll be among the headliners honoring Paul McCartney at the MusiCares benefit. Then it's on to the 2012 Grammy Awards February 12!

Katy Perry is Back

Perry is a nominee for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Solo Performance, and has enjoyed a record-setting year, making the Grammys a fitting return spot.

Katy has performed abroad as a single woman, just not in the U.S. In her first show since Russell Brand filed for divorce, Perry planted a kiss on a lucky fan's cheek.

A pic of Perry smooching the surprised, shirtless male onstage caused quite a stir on the Internet. Katy set the record straight on Twitter afterward, though:

"I have *kissed* 1 boy, picked randomly out of the audience, on the cheek as part of my show for all 125 tour dates," she tweeted. "Simmer down now."

LOL. Sure ... but were you single then, Katy?!

The Bachelor Promo: You Can't Fool Him, Honey!

"My mojo is risin' and all these bitches betta look out!" - Courtney Robertson

As if she weren't public enemy #1 already, Courtney's skinny-dipping escapades on The Bachelor last night elevated her villain status to new heights/depths.

Will the overshadowed other women rise up against her? And will it matter?

As Court continues to run roughshod over the rest of the competition for Bachelor Ben Flajnik, the rest of the house has had about all that it can take of her.

Emily's efforts to show that Ben's being played (Ellen DeGeneres agrees) have fallen on deaf ears so far. Will the women stand a better chance collectively?

If nothing else, it looks like they're gonna try. Watch the promo for next week's episode and beyond (around the six minute mark) in the video below:

The Week in Kim Kardashian Tabloid Koverage: Scams & Sex!

It's been many minutes now since Kim Kardashian last made news - gasp! She has slightly lighter hair! - so we figured readers were anxious to find out what this reality star is up. In the eyes of the tabloids, that is.

First, according to In Touch Weekly, Kim is controlled in every conceivable way by mother Kris Jenner, who allegedly pushed her into having sex at age 14 and also brainwashed her with money. Hmmm... this is one magazine story we may actually believe.

Meanwhile, Reality TV Weekly is the latest source to claim that Kris Humphries plans to sue Kim in order to force her into a confession: that their marriage was a scam from the start.

Kris "wants the world to know how badly he was duped into this sham of a marriage," an insider says. "[Humphries] feels he was set up by the Kardashians. He wants to be able to tell his side. When he married Kim, he thought it was forever, but he realized Kim wasn’t in love with him and now believes he was merely a prop."

The power forward hopes a judge will soon overturn his prenup and then he can go on record legally with his Kardashian bashing, which we highly encourage him to do ASAP. It's a lot of fun.

School District Misspells "Shcool" in Street Out Front

This isn't a "wanna get away" Snickers ad, though it sure could be.

A giant, obvious misspelling on an NYC crosswalk has city, utility and school officials pointing fingers ... and hopefully asking for more funding for the next Spelling Bee.

Everyone involved could use a boost in that area, based on this story. Hilariously, the misspelling outside the Manhattan high school involves THE WORD "school."

Shcool

The painted pavement on Stanton Street outside Marta Valle High School reads "SHCOOL X-NG," as seen here in footage captured by ABC News affiliate WABC.

The Department of Transportation claims the mistake was made by a utility provider conducting repairs, according to The NY Post, which first saw the mistake.

City officials say utility providers/contractors are responsible for returning city streets back to normal after repairs, but the school no doubt shares the blame.

After all, how do you not notice ... that of all things.

"Regardless of who painted it, someone from the school should have been outside supervising, or noticed it by now," a city worker said. "This is just sloppy."

And you thought THG's typos were bad.

Elisabetta Canalis and Steve-O: New Couple Alert (WTH)!?

Steve-O and Elisabetta Canalis are totally dating. Don't ask us how the heck that happened, but they are dating and not shy about flaunting it in public. At all.

Some people might say that going from George Clooney to one of the dudes from Jackass constitutes a step down for the Italian model and DWTS contestant.

Those people would be 100 percent correct, but hey. Beauty is only skin deep, right? Maybe Steve-O can please her in ways George never, ever could.

LOL. Sorry. We tried Steve.

Steve-O and Elisabetta Canalis

Steve-O, yeah! Look at that Jackass land Elisabetta Canalis!

Clooney, meanwhile, has moved on from Canalis with Stacy Keibler. Much more of a lateral move if not slightly upward. The WWE alum cleans up so well.
