Washington, D.C. (November 13, 2007) -- High-Definition TV can be most cruel. The picture is so clear that you can detect even the hint of a new wrinkle forming on an otherwise perfect face.

(See Swanni's 2007 "HDTV Horribles.")

However, celebrities who are naturally beautiful in real-life look even better in ultra-real HD. Their skin, hair and smile somehow take on an extra radiance, all but overwhelming the viewer with their raw physical attractiveness.

So in honor of true beauty, I am now publishing our third annual...

Swanni's 10 Sexiest Women in HDTV!

These 10 TV celebrities/actresses are so 'HDTV hot' that they could break up your marriage with a single flip of the remote. 

So here are this year's picks for the 10 Sexiest Women in HDTV! (Note: All programming times are eastern.)
 

10. Angie Harmon (Women's Murder Club)
The brunette beauty plays a homicide inspector in ABC's Women's Murder Club, but the only body that male viewers are watching is hers. Angie is married to former NFL cornerback Jason Sehorn, but I bet he can't intercept every pass thrown at her.
Women's Murder Club, ABC, Fridays at 9 p.m.


9. Lindsay Clubine (HDNet's Get Out!)
Lindsay is the star of HDNet's bikini adventure show, Get Out!, and a model on NBC's Deal or No Deal (which is not in high-def; come on, NBC!) She combines a vivacious personality with a Va-va-va-Voom body. Lindsay, don't get out. Come on in.
Get Out!, HDNet, 3 p.m., weekdays.


8. Hayden Panettiere (Heroes)
As the cheerleader in NBC's Heroes, Hayden gives male viewers plenty to root for. Just keep your hands off the pom-poms, boys.
Heroes, NBC, Mondays at 8 p.m.


7. Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights)
The wide-eyed, raven haired beauty plays a student in the high school football drama, Friday Night Lights, but she's actually 27 years old in real life. After engaging in various tawdry episodes, her character recently turned to God, but she's still a head turner.
Friday Night Lights, NBC, Fridays at 9 p.m.


6. Rebecca Romijn (Ugly Betty)
The blonde bombshell explodes on the screen in ABC's Ugly Betty. But she's no Ugly Betty. Rebecca plays an advertising executive in the show, but I bet all her clients want to get under the cover. With her!
Ugly Betty, ABC, Thursdays at 8 p.m.
