Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper Voted Summer 2009's Sexiest Singles

    MIAMI BEACH, FL, August 27, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Summer 2009 is nearly over, but with at least two more beach weekends before Labor Day, they'll be tons of hot celebrities in bikinis and Speedo's gracing the covers of our favorite tabloids well into September. This summer was fraught with images of a ripped Robert Pattinson baring all in the New Moon trailer, unveiled during ComicCon, while a bikini clad Bar Rafaeli rolled around in the sand for the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition photo shoot. Last month, as thousands of celebrities headed to the beach to enjoy the summer sun, show off their buff bodies, and work on their tans, leading online dating websites Date.com (http://www.date.com), Matchmaker.com (http://www.matchmaker.com), and Amor.com (http://www.amor.com), polled its members to see who they think are the sexiest singles of the Summer of 2009.

At 40, Jennifer Aniston is still one of the sexiest women on the planet, as felt by an overwhelming 95% of male online daters. Bradley Cooper, meanwhile, proves that funny is sexy as his turn in this summer's breakout comedy hit The Hangover turned him into an overnight sex symbol. Female online daters selected Cooper with 98% of the vote, followed closely by America's favorite vampire, Robert Pattinson, with 90.7%.

"Even though the media is full of beach photos of the infamous divorcing celebrity parents, both Kate and Jon Gosselin were last on our lists," said Shira Zwebner, Relationship Advisor for Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com. "While he's extremely unpopular with our online daters - Jon Gosselin garnered zero votes - it doesn't seem to be affecting his newly successful dating life."
