Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl had an outstanding year - enough to be named the most desirable woman of the year by popular site Askmen.com.

A former model, the 29-year-old Katherine Heigl is certainly beautiful, outspoken, humorous, talented. Some people aren't huge fans, but many more are.

Katherine Heigl is a desirable woman in the opinion of many.

Her role on Grey's Anatomy garnered her an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She also starred in box-office hits Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, and married singer-songwriter Josh Kelley. Quite a run!

It's a nice compliment. Now all we need is for Patrick Dempsey to be named the most desirable man of the year and we can celebrate a Grey's Anatomy sweep.
