The Backstreet Boys' Kevin Richardson may be sexy, but bandmate Nick Carter is beautiful.

So say the editors at "People" magazine, who selected Carter, TLC's Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, and Ricky Martin in its annual list of "The 50 Most Beautiful People In The World," slated to appear in a special issue arriving on newsstands on April 28.

Other music artists, entertainers, and celebrities making the 11th such list included Shania Twain, Tina Turner, Faith Hill, Jude Law, Neve Campbell, Amanda Peet, Hilary Swank, Charlize Theron, Michele Kwan, Iman, Freddie Prinze, Jr., and MTV's own Ananda Lewis.

"Erin Brockovich" star Julia Roberts graces the cover of the "People" special for the second time, as she was previously the cover girl for "The 50 Most Beautiful People In The World" issue in 1991.

The issue also features profiles of all 50 "beautiful people," with T-Boz talking about some of the messages she's hoping to get across to young fans with TLC.

"One thing I'm trying to teach kids that nobody ever taught me is that nobody's flawless," T-Boz says in the magazine. "If somebody says to me that I have bags under my eyes, that I look tired, well, honey, I am tired."

The Backstreet Boys' Carter takes the opportunity to explain the symbolism behind his shark tattoo.

"[It's] a reflection of my personality," Carter tells "People." "A shark can be very quiet; it can be very dangerous, it can be very sleek."

Carter is the latest member of the multi-platinum Orlando band to be feted by "People," as Kevin Richardson was named "Sexiest Pop Star" by the mag's editors last October (see "Backstreet Boy Kevin Injures Shoulder On Way To 'Sexiest Pop Star' Title"). -- David Basham
