Are they hot or not?

Busted rate music's top girls

Girls love Busted and Busted love the girls.. Or do they? Here the lads tell us who they would (and wouldn't) snog, in their most honest interview ever.. (Don't worry, girls, the boys with get rated in a future Hits!)

Pink
Charlie: Pink's not my type. The only time she looked good was in the Get The Party Started video. She looks like a seagull. 4/10
James: I think she's very cool. She's like a flamingo because she's pink. She'd be a good snog. To chat her up, I'd wear pink shoes and ask if she liked them. 6/10
Mattie: I think Pink is kind of hot, but she's trying to be too cool. She looks like some sort of reptile. I'd still snog her, though. 6/10

Nicola Girls Aloud
Charlie: I don't fancy her. She looks a bit like Garfield the cat. She's a bit quiet, too. She'd be more attractive if she spoke once in a while. 4/10
James: If I could snog Britney by snogging Nicola first, then I'd do it. I'd give her some line about gingerbread women or something. 4/10
Mattie: She's got a fit body, but I wouldn't kiss her 'cause she looks like a red squirrel. I've said bad stuff about her, but if she talked to me she's realise I'm not a bad guy. 6/10

Nicole Appleton
Mattie: I'm not sure - I think she looks like a beaver. I'd chat her up if she was single. But I won't right now 'cause Liam might kick my ass. 5/10
James: She's good-looking but I don't fancy her. She should lighten up. I wouldn't want to chat her up but I would talk to her. 7/10
Charlie: Hot! She's fit, man. I'm not scared of Liam - I'd bash his false teeth out if he tried to fight me! She's like a dove. I'd say, 'So.. er.. would you like a ton of apples? 8/10

The Cheeky Girls
James: They score between one to five - I won't say what number. Do I feel anything for them? Absolutely nothing. I'd never snog them. 1-5/10
Mattie: I don't fancy them at all and I wouldn't snog them in a million years. They look like a couple of meerkats. 2/10
Charlie: Not my type. They look like Siamese cats and should stop singing silly songs! (Lay off, boys, we love their silly songs! - Ed) 2/10

Kym Marsh
James: She's gorgeous but I don't rate her as highly as Avril. She's in the same league as Christina. She's looking really nice at the moment. 8.5/10
Charlie: She's very hot. If I was trying to pull her I'd say, 'Hey, I like you a lot. Please come home with me..' You don't get much better than Kym. 9.5/10
Mattie: A perfect 10. I think she looks like a very fit lizard. She's a mate, though, so off-bounds. Or I'd ask her out like a shot. 10/10

Christina
Charlie: I'd snog her in the Dirrty video. She was looking fit then. But now, no. She looks like she's been rolling around in mud. Have a good wash! 2/10
Mattie: She is hot! She's like a scaly, sultry snake. But she wears too much slap. She's an unbelievable singer, though. 6/10
James: She's very foxy. I'd snog her. I'd even pay money to snog her! I'd give her however much she wanted. I think I'd be speechless if I ever met her. 8.5/10

Beyonce
Charlie: Oh yes! But I actually think she used to be a lot fitter than she is now. She looks a bit like frog - but a hot frog! Hot! 7/10
Mattie: She's hot but I'm not into big thighs or bums. She annoyed me in Austin Powers 'cause she kept saying things like, 'Come on, sugar!' She's very sultry though. 8/10
James: She's really fit. She's like a sexy cat. I'd snog her. I couldn't use a chat-up line. She's too cool - she would spot it coming a mile off. 9/10

Kelly Osbourne
Charlie: I wouldn't touch her with a barge pole. I'd snog Kelly if I could meet Ozzy. Then it'd be worth it. She needs to stop slagging us off, too. 1/10
James: She's in the one to five category - and she can guess what number she is. I met her and she was a bit up her own ****. She needs to change her attitude, man. 1-5/10
Mattie: No way would I kiss her. She looks like a pig. As she put out a record she began to make out she was some sort of wild child. 2/10

Avril Lavigne
Mattie: She is dull! She takes herself too seriously. She's fit but personality-wise, she sucks. She looks like a hyena. A boring hyena, not a laughing one. 2/10
Charlie: Sizzling! She's a beautiful mermaid. I saw her at a party but she didn't talk to me because we said her cred was going downhill. 9/10
James: Totally hot. She's at the top of my list right now. She's like a pretty bird. If I saw her all I'd think about is snogging her. 9/10
