A story from AskMen.com, the men’s online magazine famous for its listicles of hot women, that we sourced earlier today, had Billy Bob Thornton aiming some nasty remarks at ex-wife Angelina Jolie, who’s currently enjoying the company of new partner Brad Pitt and on-going speculation about her unborn(?) twins.

According to AskMen, Thornton, speaking at a press launch for his new record, said Angelina “is just going through a high school phase. You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there. She???ll be waking up from that dream in no time. … Who knows if I???ll be there when she???s ready to come to her senses though.”

Except now Thornton’s rep insists he never said any of those things. Lending credence to that argument is the suddenly missing article on AskMen.com that originally reported it. (A 404 error now greets visitors to that page, and there’s no Google cache of it.)

So either Thornton did say those things, nobody else heard them, and AskMen is simply protecting its Hollywood-friendly relationships. Or AskMen completely made up the quotes and didn’t think anybody would notice. Damn The Google!

With the Howard Stern vs. Les Moonves debate raging on in every other media headline, it only makes sense for AskMen.com to kick off a Top 10 list dedicated to the radio shock jocks. From 30-year radio vet Steve Dahl of Chicago and XM’s Ron and Fez to Australia’s Alan Jones and the often-banned Opie and Anthony, where will the roster of airwave assaulters end?

Our money was on Stern, natch, but that would be too predictable (he ended up at No. 3 on the list). So who’s the reigning king of crude DJs? We’ll offer these hints: He hails from Chicago and has spent the last 15 years teasing the FCC with plenty of drug and alcohol-laced humor.

You’d think AskMen.com was the new Details with all its fashion service articles. You’d also think the average American man was somehow lesser than his European counterparts if he’s still unable to get the striped shirt down, let alone the striped slacks and striped sweater.

Luckily, there’s “7 Rules For Wearing Stripes,” where rules from “Go vertical” and “Keep it thin” to “Don’t wear clown socks” and “Mix stripes very carefully” should have any lad looking like a Banana Republic advertisement by the end of the article.

Anna Kournikova barely made the list at No. 99, but Jessica Alba? She’s tops on AskMen.com’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women, a perfectly good excuse to paste some eye candy next to some superficial rankings. Actually, not so superficial, since the ratings were based on AskMen.com’s polling of its millions of readers (with 2.5 million responses) to see which Hollywood lass they’d prefer to date.

Each lady gets a desirability score ???????? No. 90 Amanda Bynes comes in at 6.84, while No. 7 Jessica Biel is an 8.65 ???????? hashed out by reader voting and the super secret formula employed by AskMen.com’s staff, which we’ve got a feeling involves lifesize cardboard cutouts, blow up dolls, and a dartboard.

So check out all 99 women, from Alba and Banks to Union to Webb.

Now why, you might ask, would Jossip team up with AskMen.com ???????? the website dedicated to all things hoo-ha ???????? given our hugely disproportionate gay readership? Because of our also hugely disproportionate readership at Glamour, Seventeen, CosmoGIRL!, and Vogue. That’s why.

Need a peak at the Top 10 without all the painful mouse clicking? Just one click (to get you past the jump) gets you the answer.
