Since we only watch celebrities, we have no way of judging their true sexual quotient.
But potential? Well, any number of magazines are out to measure that. And Playgirl is among them. In its list of the top sexy guys of 1995, the magazine includes:

From the movies: Hugh Grant of “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” Chris O’Donnell of “Batman Forever” and Vincent Perez of “Queen Margot.”
From the playing fields: Shaquille O’Neal of the Orlando Magic and ex-Raider Howie Long, a sports commentator on Fox’s “NFL Sunday.”
The 10th? Pop musician Babyface.

Is it, do you think, marked ‘Houseguest’?
So what does another neo-celebrity from the O.J. Simpson trial have to be thankful about? Well, Kato Kaelin has a radio show in Los Angeles. And, he told People magazine, “I’ve got a parking spot. Incredible.”
