This week People will come out with their annual "50 Most Beautiful People" list. Breast-cancer survivor Christina Applegate is on the cover, and inside, young heartthrobs like Dev Patel, Robert Pattinson, Channing Tatum, and Zac Efron fill out the rest of the list. Michelle Obama is even on the list! She's in a section called "Barack's Beauties," along with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Social Secretary Desirée Rogers, and — wait a minute. Tim Geithner is on the list, too! We totally forgot that he was hot! (Probably because he's always making that face.) Now that we think about it, this might just be the only positive press we've read about him in months. Let this be a lesson to all of you who wasted your high-school days listening to those nerds who were jealous of your popularity — when all else fails, you really can fall back on your looks.
