"Not only is Christina Applegate a genuine beauty, she is also a fighter and a classy role model for us all"
Camilla Le, Orem, Utah
You can finally retire the title of Most Beautiful. I do not think anyone could ever fill those shoes the way that Christina Applegate does. Thanks for showing us what the word "beautiful" really means.

Tim Geithner makes the list but not Sarah Palin? Are you kidding?

It really surprised me to find Kevin Jonas missing from your 100 Most Beautiful list, especially since he was named one of your Sexiest Men Alive. He is sexy but not beautiful?

We applaud your issue of the 100 Most Beautiful. How wonderful to see celebrities without makeup. There's nothing more attractive than natural beauty.

I see that your "Beauty at Every Age" gallery stops with Meryl Streep at 59. What will happen to poor Meryl (and me) when she (and I) turn 60? Fall off the edge of the page? Here's hoping next year you will include a few 60-year-olds.

SUSAN BOYLE
Thank you so much for the recent articles about Susan Boyle. I watch the YouTube video daily, and I still cry every time. God blessed this woman with the voice of an angel. I love watching the awe that washes over the judges and the audience. This renews my faith in the human spirit. Susan Boyle is truly an amazing, beautiful, classy and immensely talented lady.

I am so pleased that Susan Boyle is getting the attention that she deserves. When I look at her, I don't see a "plain" woman but rather a talented woman who is finally getting some recognition. Guess what: Contrary to popular ideals, you don't have to look like Christina Aguilera to belt out a note or two.

BOB WOODRUFF
It was so wonderful to read the update on Bob Woodruff and his family. Prior to his accident, Bob and Elizabeth Vargas were "in our home" every weeknight. I felt that the accident and later consequences had happened to a member of my family. I'm sure many other fans felt the same way.

BEA ARTHUR
As we mourn the passing of the legendary Bea Arthur, we will remember her perfect deadpan deliveries and witty one-liners. She was one of TV's true golden girls.

Bea Arthur was worth much more than just two pages. She was her own special double issue Most Beautiful!

CRAIGSLIST CHANGES
On the heels of the arrest of Philip Markoff, the alleged Craigslist killer, the online classified site announced May 13 that it was replacing its "erotic services" section with a pre-screened "adult services" one. However, First Amendment expert Robert M. O'Neil says, "Given the volume of Internet traffic, a program of this sort probably would have limited impact." Readers of our Markoff stories (May 4 and 11) also expressed concern about predators using the site. "We need to learn to do better safeguarding" of networks, wrote Paul Dale Roberts of Elk Grove, Calif. Meanwhile, Rhode Island authorities have issued a warrant for Markoff's arrest in the attempted robbery of a masseuse he met via Craigslist.
