TOP TEN LOTHARIOS

10. JOHN MAYER
Celebrity shagger

Favouring quality over quantity, US singer-songwriter Mayer abandoned informal fan-banging after an early tour where he, "slept with, like, three girls in a week." He instead chose to embark on a series of doomed celebrity relationships, notably with Jessica Simpson (who he described as "sexual napalm") and Jennifer Aniston. Undoubtedly more escapades to come from this vainglorious young buck.

9. DUNCAN JAMES
Put the "blue" in blue

As a member of pop quartet Blue, James put his Primark Brad Pitt looks to good use and rapidly became a well-respected philanderer. Apart from enjoying three-in-a-bed action with bandmate Lee Ryan and Danish model Elizabeth Starup, Hunky Dunky has been romantically linked with the likes of Geri Halliwell and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson. In 2009 James revealed that he also enjoyed intimate male companionship. "But I've slept with way more women than men," he noted.

8. ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK
Not called "the Hump" for nothing

Reputed to have slept with over 3000 women, though the Leicester crooner known to his mum as 
Arnold George Dorsey has coyly countered that those keeping score should, "only believe half of what you read." Whatever the exact figure, these sexual liaisons have resulted in several paternity suits and, in 1980, a New York court ruled that Humperdinck should pay maintenance 
to a Sunday school teacher with whom he had sired 
a daughter. Remarkably, The Hump has been married 
to Patricia Healey since 1964.

7. EAZY-E
Fun-sized playa
Challenged as to whether his rap crew N.W.A. disrespected women, Eric "Eazy-E" Wright remained philosophical: "We're not disrespecting women, we're disrespecting bitches," he explained. "A bitch is somebody who fucks everybody except me." Despite this grumbling Eazy admitted to fathering seven children with six different women, before announcing in 1995 that he had Aids and passing away shortly afterwards.

6. ROD STEWART
Da ya think he's sexy? but of course
Pioneered the "male tart" image in the '70s and went on to womanise his way through a series of leggy blondes ("It wasn't always blondes", he insists), including actress Britt Ekland and model Dee Harrington. Rather uncharitably, Stewart's first wife, Alana Hamilton, left a note on the wardrobe reading "Attention all sluts. Hands off my clothes," when their five-year marriage ended in 1984. At 66, Stewart is no longer putting it about but still enjoys fornication on an exclusive basis; third wife, Penny Lancaster, is expecting his eighth child this year.

5. LENNY KRAVITZ
He let love rule
Divorced from actress Lisa Bonet 18 years ago, Kravitz has since welcomed a string of A-list consorts - including Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, and some models - into his retro world of sensual loving. Tragically, in 2005 Kravitz announced that he'd decided 
to remain celibate until he got married again. As he is currently unwed, it can only be assumed that this 46-year-old man-about-town continues to restrict his erotic activities to solo work.

4. ROBBIE WILLIAMS
Take that's cocksman-in-chief
While in Take That the first time around Williams once received 80,000 Valentine's Day cards and has since been known to selectively treat his adoring public to a bunk-up. The man who briefly considered having "It's your birthday" tattooed above his genital region has also dallied with such starlets as Nicole Appleton and Anna Friel. "I did look at the FHM Top 100 Women list once and there were 15 of them," he said of his high-profile encounters. 
"It was like Pokémon with me at one point. You've gotta catch 'em all." Carefree bachelor days drew to a close last year with marriage to actress Ayda Field.

3. SIR MICK JAGGER
Romancing the rolling stone
Keith Richards alleges that Jagger is not exactly knocking over furniture with the contents of his trousers but the Stones frontman has still squired many of the world's most desirable women. Jerry Hall finally had enough of then-husband Mick's ways in 1998 when Brazilian model Luciana Morad revealed that she was carrying his baby. Jagger's former bandmate, Bill Wyman, was also an accomplished skirt-chaser in his day while Ronnie Wood has recently found more time for carrying on with much younger women since his 2009 divorce.

2. GENE SIMMONS
Kiss's long-tongued lover
The Kiss bass player has slept with an 
estimated 5000 women ("A lot of them 
didn't get much sleep," Simmons points out) and 
habitually takes Polaroids to remember them by. When 
not indulging in no-strings copulation, the God Of 
Thunder dated Cher and Diana Ross before meeting 
long-time girlfriend, soft porn mainstay Shannon Tweed, 
in 1984. Do we hear wedding bells, Gene? "Marriage 
means nothing to me," says the immodest 61-year-old stallion. "Happiness means everything."

1. MICK HUCKNALL
More ginger nuts, anyone?
Between 1985 and 1987 the Simply Red singer maintained a three-a-day woman habit though recently expressed remorse that by offhandedly unshackling his penis 3000 times during this era he had "hurt some really good girls". The frisky blue-eyed soul man has also courted Catherine Zeta-Jones, Steffi Graf, Helena Christensen and Martine McCutcheon (who once vomited on his trademark red hair) among others. Married last year, Hucknall should now be considered unavailable for casual sexual intercourse.

And the worst lothario...

PHIL SPECTOR
Wiggy knob-twiddler
The visionary producer's first wife Ronnie Bennett alleged that he showed her a gold coffin and said that she would end up in it if she ever left him. Spector is currently imprisoned for the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson. During his trial five former female friends testified that Spector had menaced them with firearms. Not good.
