A time honored tradition on TORN, poll swamping, seems the opportune thing to do on a lazy Sunday evening. This week Hello! Magazine Online is asking who the most attractive is out of their list of attractive ladies. Their choices include Cat Deeley, Jessica Alba, Nelly Furtado, Uma Thurman, Demi Moore, and our very own Liv Tyler.
