Southern Sweeties

There’s something about the south – rocking away a lazy summer day on the front porch with a cold, tall glass of sweet tea. And, oh, did we mention lots of stunningly hot, sultry sexy men and women?! From country music to Hollywood, from sports to soaps, CMT takes a look at some of today’s sexiest Southerners in two one-hour specials, CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Women and CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Men. Airing back-to-back, they premiere on Friday, May 26, 2006 at 8-10 p.m. ET/PT.

CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Women, hosted by country music artist, Jack Ingram, who just scored his first No. 1 single “Wherever You Are” and CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Men, hosted by Tiffany Fallon, former Playboy Playmate and wife of Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney, will count down the most gorgeous southerners around.

From Reese Witherspoon to Faith Hill and from George Clooney to George Strait, these southern stars share sex appeal and southern roots. They share the sexy title with others including Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria, Julia Roberts, Molly Sims, James Denton, Johnny Knoxville, Matthew McConaughey and Brett Favre. With new celebrity and expert interviews, clips and more, CMT highlights the celebrities who embrace their heritage and heat things up, on screen and off.

CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Women and CMT 20 Sexiest Southern Men are productions of CMT and Cloudland TV. Executive producers are CMT’s John C. Feld, and Thom Oliphant for Cloudland TV.
