Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. <br />
<br />
Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. <br />
<br />
Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-70588298336378554662009-06-11T00:58:00.000-07:002009-06-11T00:58:10.180-07:00Mila Kunis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/MilaKunis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/MilaKunis.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The beautiful Mila Kunis, born in the Ukraine, got her biggest breaks by watching The Price is Right and lying about her age -- as a new arrival to the United States, she used Bob Barker's game show to improve her English, and at her audition for That '70s Show, she didn't tell producers that she was three years younger than their age requirement. <br />
<br />
Now her voice, good looks and acting talent have been put to good use with voice work on Family Guy, music videos for Aerosmith and modeling for both Maxim and Stuff. In 2008, she appeared in two notable films -- Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Max Payne. She might like World of Warcraft, but there's not very much that’s geeky about Mila Kunis. Besides being a regular in magazines, she's also been featured in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2008 list and Maxim's Hot 100 list the same year. Her different-colored eyes give her desirability a quirky and unique twist. <br />
<br />
After eight seasons on That '70s Show, in 2008 Mila Kunis jumped to the world of film, with roles in the Mark Wahlberg actioner Max Payne and the breakout hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She hopes to continue to catch our eye in 2009's Extract, the new Jason Bateman-Ben Affleck comedy from director Mike Judge (Office Space).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-7685972902525850852009-06-11T00:52:00.000-07:002009-06-11T00:52:29.794-07:00Keira Knightley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/KeiraKnightley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/KeiraKnightley.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
By 3 years old, Keira Knightley had decided to become an actress and she demanded an agent. It took another three years to get one, but 20 years later, her one-track mind has netted her an Oscar nomination and a spot as one of filmdom's highest-paid women. <br />
<br />
Keira Knightley's big-budget debut came in 1999's Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace as Natalie Portman's decoy, but her role in Bend It Like Beckham won her much respect. Since then, blockbusters like the Pirates of the Caribbean have been balanced with critical favorites like Pride and Prejudice. Keira Knightley was nominated for an Oscar for her work in Pride and Prejudice, and her two performances in 2008 have won similar praise. First there was The Edge of Love, based on a screenplay by her mom, Sharman Macdonald, and then there was The Duchess, in which she played the Duchess of Devonshire. <br />
<br />
Acting aside, Keira Knightley is also a total knockout. She topped the list of 2007 beauty icons by UK chain Superdrug, and she’ll continue her hallucinatory effects on the male libido in the 2009 film Last Night, with Sam Worthington and Eva Mendes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-75068093377398250402009-06-11T00:49:00.000-07:002009-06-11T00:49:04.055-07:00Olga Kurylenko<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OlgaKurylenko.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OlgaKurylenko.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
There are few jobs in Hollywood more enviable than that of a casting director for a James Bond film. <br />
<br />
We can think of worse ways to spend a day than auditioning beautiful actress after beautiful actress for the part of the latest Bond girl. <br />
<br />
The most recent of these legendary screen sirens is Olga Kurylenko. <br />
<br />
Some suggest this Ukrainian-born actress might be the sexiest to ever share the screen with 007. She started as a model, working in Paris and supporting her family back home. <br />
<br />
However, the big screen beckoned, and Olga Kurylenko left the runway behind to seek her fortunes in Hollywood. Since she landed one of the biggest roles a young actress can hope for, that turned out to be a good decision.<br />
<br />
You usually don’t associate the name Olga with beauty, but that’s about to change. <br />
<br />
Olga Kurylenko was absolutely sizzling as Camille in Quantum of Solace. She brings an exotic, dangerous edge to the classic Bond girl that has never been seen before. <br />
<br />
She has big, dark eyes and a body that would make Olympic gymnasts jealous, plus she can speak French as well as Ukrainian -- in fact, the only thing she seems to be missing is the love of a good man.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-84450691769677738662009-06-10T13:20:00.000-07:002009-06-10T13:20:38.400-07:00Isla Fisher<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/IslaFisher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/IslaFisher.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Actress Isla Fisher penned a pair of best-selling novels in her native Australia before joining the TV soap opera Home and Away. She broke into American movies by playing Shaggy's girlfriend in Scooby-Doo, and got even more attention in the 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers. <br />
<br />
In recent years, she's played mind and relationship games with Jessica Biel and Chris Evans in London and seduced slow-minded bank employee Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Lookout.<br />
<br />
This red-haired beauty impressed us through 2008, both in Definitely, Maybe with Ryan Reynolds and by providing the voice of Dr. Mary Lou Larue in Horton Hears a Who! In addition, she was named to the Maxim Hot 100 list for the second year in a row -- not bad for a woman who just had her first child in 2007. <br />
<br />
Isla Fisher's most intriguing venture for 2009 is the lead role in Confessions of a Shopaholic, the story of a shopping addict who ends up giving financial advice -- expect to see more of the lovely Isla Fisher at her comedic best.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-53154814900532726652009-06-04T01:25:00.000-07:002009-06-04T01:25:24.687-07:00Summer Glau<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/SummerGlau.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/SummerGlau.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
There’s little doubt that Summer Glau has managed to accomplish a heck of a lot in a relatively short amount of time, as she only kicked off her professional acting career in 2002 with a guest spot on the series Angel. That same year, however, she set geek hearts the world over aflutter with her role as the enigmatic River Tam on the short-lived yet beloved TV show Firefly, which was eventually spun off into the 2005 cult film Serenity.<br />
<br />
And, although she’s taken on starring roles in such series as The Unit and The 4400, Summer Glau’s ongoing stint as a protective cyborg on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has proved instrumental in widening her appeal beyond the nerd bSummer Glau’s ability to crawl into the skin of wholly unusual characters has made her a favorite within the sci-fi community, and her unexpectedly layered take on a killing machine in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles caught the attention of a legion of new fans.<br />
<br />
Cast alongside beauties like Lena Headey and Shirley Manson, Summer Glau has, with seemingly little effort, managed to establish herself as a sex symbol for the sci-fi crowd. Her stellar work on the series recently won her a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Television Actress, and although she had to share the prize with Lost’s Elizabeth Mitchell, this win placed her ahead of such small-screen hotties as Jennifer Carpenter and Hayden Panettiere. rigade.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-19607608946557313122009-06-04T01:19:00.000-07:002009-06-04T01:19:03.373-07:00Stacy Keibler<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/stacy-keibler-picture-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/stacy-keibler-picture-3.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Stacy Keibler actually made her cinematic debut with an uncredited cameo appearance in John Waters’ 1998 comedy Pecker, though it wasn’t until she retired from the wrestling world that she was finally able to devote herself full-time to acting.<br />
<br />
2008 proved to be Stacy Keibler’s breakthrough year, as she took on a one-episode shot opposite her real-life boyfriend Geoff Stults on the ABC series October Road, and subsequently landed a recurring role on ABC Family’s Samurai Girl alongside Jamie Chung and Brendan Fehr. It’s an impressive turnaround for someone who was once best known as “The Legs of WWE.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-38597286424796828872009-06-04T01:11:00.000-07:002009-06-04T01:11:01.868-07:00Odette Yustman<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OdetteYustman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OdetteYustman.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This beautiful brunette had her big break in 2008, but few people got to see just how cute she really was. That’s because her break came in Cloverfield, and its jerky “handheld” filming style rendered her face a barely visible blur. However, make no mistake -- this budding starlet is on her way to big things. Her name comes from the ballet Swan Lake, but this California native ditched the tutu as a kid and focused instead on acting. <br />

She doesn’t overwhelm with flowing blond hair or bee-stung lips, but her beauty is almost breathtaking. She isn’t just a pretty face, either. Anyone who can pull off what she did in Cloverfield (namely, playing a believable role when her main costar is a 350-foot monster) can act. She did so well, in fact, that The Dark Knight screenwriter David S. Goyer tapped her to star in his upcoming horror flick, The Unborn. We’re going to see a lot more of Odette Yustman, and that is a very, very good thing. since.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-84176491213322743412009-06-04T01:07:00.000-07:002009-06-04T01:07:58.216-07:00Hayden Panettiere<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/HaydenPanettiere.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/HaydenPanettiere.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Hayden Panettiere’s transformation from talented child actress to sex symbol certainly didn’t occur overnight, as she’s spent the majority of her career taking on roles in family-friendly endeavors such as 2000’s Remember the Titans, 2004’s Raising Helen and 2005’s Ice Princess. <br />
<br />
It was only as she blossomed into a beautiful young woman that she was afforded the opportunity to play more than just wholesome characters, with her critically lauded and award-winning stint as the invincible Claire Bennet on NBC’s Heroes propelling her to an enHayden Panettiere’s star-making role on Heroes took a dark turn this year after Claire was forced to shed her innocence and become a cold-hearted killer, a twist that allowed the actress to tap into other sides of her personality and effectively prove that she’s got the chops to tackle a variety of different characters. <br />
<br />
This versatility has certainly been reflected in her upcoming roles, as Hayden Panettiere has managed to land a series of increasingly high-profile gigs -- including the title character in the upcoming romantic comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper. Additionally, Hayden Panettiere was also named a successor to Fergie and Hilary Duff (among others) as the latest spokeswoman for the Candie’s fashion line.tirely new level of fame.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-22415534147731330352009-06-04T01:04:00.000-07:002009-06-04T01:04:19.864-07:00Zoe Saldana<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ZoeSaldana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" fj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ZoeSaldana.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Though she’s been working steadily since the turn of the century, Zoe Saldana has managed to maintain a relatively low profile in spite of an impressive filmography that boasts appearances alongside, among others, Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp and Dennis Quaid.<br />
<br />
It’s consequently not surprising to note that Zoe Saldana has slowly but surely begun to establish herself as an up-and-comer worth watching, as her bubbly, downright charismatic screen presence has proved instrumental in elevating even the weakest of movies (check out her work in the otherwise forgettable 2005 Ashton Kutcher vehicle Guess Who for proof of this).<br />
<br />
<br />
Zoe Saldana’s days of relative anonymity are about to end, as 2008 marked her breakthrough year in terms of roles received. Though she only made one on-screen appearance in the past 12 months (a small role in the ensemble thriller Vantage Point), Zoe Saldana successfully landed parts in two of 2009’s most eagerly anticipated films. First up is her take on the iconic character of Uhura in J.J. Abrams' reimagining of the Star Trek franchise, which she’ll follow with a starring role in James Cameron’s groundbreaking science-fiction epic Avatar.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-6229200371078497782009-06-02T04:50:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:50:33.585-07:00Christina Applegate<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ChristinaApplegate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ChristinaApplegate.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
As Kelly Bundy, the sexy, stupid blonde who warmed our hearts on Married with Children, Christina Applegate helped the fledgling FOX network get off the ground in the late 1980s. In addition to film and stage work, she also starred in another sitcom, Jesse. Despite great reviews and even an Emmy nod, Jesse was canceled in 2000 after just two seasons.<br />
<br />
In late 2007, Christina Applegate returned to sitcoms as the star of ABC’s Samantha Who? In August 2008, she announced that she had breast cancer. Following treatment that included a successful double mastectomy, her doctors declared her cancer-free. Christina Applegate began 2008 riding high on the success of Samantha Who? only to be humbled by a diagnosis of breast cancer. Shortly after her double mastectomy, she made an inspirational appearance at the Emmys, saying: “It's a great day. I've got a pretty dress on and lipstick, and it's something I haven't done in two months. It really feels good to be here.”<br />
<br />
It feels pretty good to us too to have her back on TV and cancer-free, as she's a woman of incredible talent and charisma, not to mention a knockout beauty.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-3175991258862761562009-06-02T04:47:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:47:12.253-07:00Christina Hendricks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ChristinaHendricks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ChristinaHendricks.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Christina Hendricks was born in 1975, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and raised in Idaho and Virginia. After modeling in New York and London, she made her on-screen debut in the 1999 TV movie Sorority before landing a role on Beggars & Choosers in 2000. A recurring role on ER in 2002 led to appearances on Firefly, which earned her a SyFy Genre Award and a regular role on Kevin Hill. More guest appearances on series such as Cold Case, Without A Trace and Las Vegas followed before she landed the virtually tailor-made role of sultry '60s secretary Joan Holloway on the AMC series Mad Men in 2007. Christina Hendricks has also been featured in the indie films La Cucina and South of Pico.<br />
<br />
One look at this voluptuous redhead should make it clear why Christina Hendricks made our Top 99 list. Physical attributes aside, her perfect portrayal of a seductive secretary in the testosterone, tobacco and booze-fueled world of 1960s-era Madison Avenue in the first season of Mad Men helped her character, Joan Holloway, become more prominent in the second season, which aired in 2008. Christina Hendricks shared a Screen Actors Guild nomination for ensemble performance in 2008 with her costars, and we look forward to catching up with all of them again this year for the highly anticipated third season of Mad Men. She'll also costar with Dermot Mulroney in the film Driving Lessons.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-81114478673307235832009-06-02T04:44:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:44:37.562-07:00Paz Vega<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/PazVega.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/PazVega.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />

If you don’t routinely watch TV shows made in Spain, you may not think you know who Paz Vega is, but if you don’t know her by name, you likely know her heartbreakingly beautiful Andalucían face from films like Hable con ella or Spanglish. Meanwhile, Spanish viewers know her best as Laurita Arteagabeitia from the most pop<br />
<br />
Paz Vega closed out 2008 as Plaster of Paris in Frank Miller’s The Spirit, giving us just a taste of what this gorgeous actress is all about. Fortunately, her profile should skyrocket in 2009 thanks to a number of upcoming releases, including Christopher B. Landon’s Burning Palms, Triage with Colin Farrell and the thriller Not Forgotten. It shouldn’t be too long before Paz Vega’s name is spoken with the same reverential awe as another Spanish-born beauty and international star -- Penelope Cruzular sitcom in Spanish history, 7 Vidas.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-15211523648146836202009-06-02T04:42:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:42:01.206-07:00Leighton Meester<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/LeightonMeester.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/LeightonMeester.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Beverly Hills High School alumnus Leighton Meester turned just 22 in 2008, but next year her acting career will enter its 10th year. The adorable brunette certainly has cause to celebrate: Her spin as the wealthy, fashionable and fabulously bitchy Blair Waldorf on the CW’s prime-time teen soap opera GosWe welcomed Leighton Meester’s return to Entourage in 2008 (however brief). Yet, as the second season of Gossip Girl unfolded in all its jealous glory, we were reminded of the scheming, backstabbing queen bee’s rich heritage on American TV: no drama is complete without her, and her snarl can be seen a mile away (Meester's predecessors in this regard include Joan Collins on Dynasty and Michelle Rodriguez on Lost).<br />
<br />
However, as Blair Waldorf, Leighton Meester’s sun-kissed cuteness makes for an irresistibly cruel and clever twist on the original (even if she isn’t TV’s first stuck-up, prep-school bitch named Blair), and she' s the No. 1 reason to tune in every week. The role of Blair also garnered Leighton Meester two nods at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards: one for Choice TV Actress and a second for Choice TV Breakout Star Female. sip Girl has made her a star.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-30114652243004820082009-06-02T04:36:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:36:52.024-07:00Elisabeth Hasselbeck<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ElisabethHasselbeck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/ElisabethHasselbeck.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />

View cohost, mother of two and wife of ESPN analyst Tim Hasselbeck, Elisabeth Hasselbeck hasn’t always been the iconic champion of the oppressed right-wing elite minority that she is today. She got her start on TV as Elisabeth Filarski, the token girl-next-door on Survivor: The Australian Outback, then parlayed that fame into a show on the Style Network before beating out an initially large pool of hopefuls to permanently replace Lisa Ling on The View.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-33038729840314313102009-06-02T04:32:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:32:26.439-07:00Emily Blunt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/EmilyBlunt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/EmilyBlunt.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />

Emily Blunt is an English actress who has appeared in films such as Charlie Wilson’s War, Dan in Real Life and The Devil Wears Prada. She began her acting career at the age of 16, after attending an arts school. She started landing roles soon after that, eventually getting her big break in 2003, when she garnered critical acclaim for her role in Henry VIII. In 2007, she earned a Golden Globe for her role in the British film Gideon’s Daughter. <br />
<br />
Emily Blunt has three films slated for release over the next year, including a starring role in the flick The Wolf Man, costarring Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro. She is also now on the market, after recently ending a three-year relationship with Canadian singer Michael Buble.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-72014738989548774072009-06-02T04:29:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:29:10.667-07:00Blake Lively<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/BlakeLively.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/BlakeLively.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
Born into show business, Blake Lively preferred cheerleading over acting until she played Bridget in 2005's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The offers poured in, including one for the high school comedy Accepted, for which Blake Lively eventually received a Hollywood Life Breakthrough Award. <br />
<br />
It's been onwards and upwards ever since for Blake Lively. She's Serena on TV's Gossip Girl, for which she won a pair of 2008 Teen Choice Awards, and she played Bridget again in a Sisterhood sequel. She also hammed it up as a transsexual partyer alongside James Franco in a memorable skit on Saturday Night Live. Blake Lively is hitting her stride as an actress and a babe. Besides her movie and television pursuits, she appeared on the cover of various magazines, including NYLON, Cosmopolitan and Lucky. Her projects aren't the most male-accessible entertainment, but it was hard not to notice this blond beauty, especially in her pro-Obama pitch during election season.<br />
<br />
In addition to her continued television work, 2009 will see Blake Lively in more guy-friendly projects like the short-film compilation New York, I Love You (featuring Kevin Bacon) and the Keanu Reeves-Robin Wright Penn drama The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.

<br />
Vanessa Hudgens starred in High School Musical 3 in 2008, and went on tour in support of her Identified album. In 2009, Hudgens will star in the comedy Bandslam, a movie about teenagers drawn together by their love of music.<br />
<br />
She became the spokesperson for Neutrogena in ’08, and also presented at the MTV VMAs, which makes us think we’ll be seeing even more of this fresh-faced beauty throughout ’09.<br />
<br />
Before rising to fame as Gabrielle Montez in the High School Musical series, Vanessa Hudgens made appearances in films like Thirteen and Thunderbirds, as well as on TV shows like The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. After becoming a star, she pursued a music career, and has released two albums -- V and Identified -- on Hollywood Records, though neither album sold particularly well. However, her undeniable cuteness and sweet demeanor continue to make her a hot commodity.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-87347960033822301342009-06-02T04:22:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:22:02.493-07:00Olivia Munn<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OliviaMunn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/OliviaMunn.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Olivia Munn is a model, actress and television personality, as well as one of the faces of American cable channel G4. She cohosts Attack of the Show! with Kevin Pereira, answering viewer questions about sex and dating. She has also worked as a model for Nike, Pepsi and Neutrogena. In 2007, she appeared in Playboy magazine in a non-nude pictorial spread, as well as in the Rob Schneider movie Big Stan.<br />
<br />
Following her role in the 2008 flick Insanitarium, in which she played a nurse in an insane asylum, along with the comedy The Slammin' Salmon, Olivia Munn kept her name on the minds of men everywhere by appearing in an article for Men’s Health Living on creating the ultimate guy’s bedroom. It didn’t take long for Olivia Munn to gain legions of fans across the globe, and something tells us she’ll continue to be desired by many men well into 2009.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-19562848476534129872009-06-02T04:19:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:19:15.641-07:00Dania Ramirez<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/DaniaRamirez.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/DaniaRamirez.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Dania Ramirez was born in the Dominican Republic, where she caught the acting bug at a young age. Working in a convenience store in New York City, at the age of 15, Dania Ramirez was discovered by a modeling agency, and was offered a part in a small local commercial. From there, she started to pursue acting more seriously, and headed to the West Coast. After relocating to Los Angeles, she earned minor roles in She Hate Me and X-Men: The Last Stand. She went on to land a part in the TV show Heroes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-26481282681788397062009-06-02T04:10:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:10:06.836-07:00Katharine McPhee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/KatharineMcPhee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/KatharineMcPhee.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Tall and voluptuous with girl-down-the-block beauty, Katharine McPhee can raise our blood pressure without uttering a single note. Yet when she does sing, she soars, leading us to wonder whether she has normal vocal chords like the rest of us or if she has a booming pipe organ inside.<br />
<br />
Before the year was out, Katharine McPhee was signed to David Foster’s 143 Records label, meaning that her sophomore album may reach stores in the spring of 2009.Brown-eyed songbird and American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee began 2008 by parting ways with her label (RCA). She then married her (much older) boyfriend, Nick Cokas, in February '08, became a spokesperson for Neutrogena and costarred in The House Bunny with Anna Faris -- not a bad turnaround.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-71881839153424226522009-06-02T04:03:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:03:37.369-07:00Holly Weber<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/HollyWeber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/HollyWeber.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Not only did the impossibly beautiful Holly Weber once have physical imperfections (crooked teeth -- the horror!), but she was also in school to become a dentist. When her braces came off, the beauty lights came on and, more than 25 calendars and multiple magazines later, her viewing audience agrees that she's not too shabby. <br />
<br />
Acting is Holly Weber's latest venture, and 2008 saw her guest star on three TV series, including Dirt and Criminal Minds (as the aptly-named Holly Hottie). She also had cameos in the Adam Sandler comedy You Don't Mess with the Zohan and the Oscar contender Frost/Nixon. <br />
<br />
If you weren't already convinced by Holly Weber's two-time selection as FHM's Hometown Honey, let's just state the obvious: Holly Weber is hot. Her recent leap to acting in roles as models, playmates and girlfriends emphasizes how important her beauty is to her work. The camera loves her.<br />
<br />
We'll be seeing a lot more of her in 2009, as she'll appear in a pair of high-flying action sequels -- Crank 2: High Voltage and Fast & Furious. She's also playing a sexy chef in the Katherine Heigl-Gerard Butler comedy The Ugly Truth. We can't wait to see what she'll cook up.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711732714244649329.post-63785080347386540882009-06-02T04:00:00.000-07:002009-06-02T04:00:55.958-07:00Camilla Belle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/CamillaBelle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dj="true" height="420" src="http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss9/blogerela/CamillaBelle.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Camille Belle is one of Hollywood’s emerging starlets. Her credits date back through much of her life, and she has been rumored to be romantically attached to one of the Jonas brothers and Twilight star Robert Pattinson (though not at the same time).<br />
<br />
Camilla Bella’s career highlights include The Quiet, the horror remake When A Stranger Calls, and starring as Daniel Day-Lewis’ daughter in The Ballad of Jack and Rose. The exotic looks of this half-Brazilian actress, who stands at 5’8”, understandably reminds us of the Brazilian model invasion that followed Gisele Bundchen’s successful storming of the fashion world. While Camilla Belle does do some modeling, the bilingual actress largely sticks to acting, like her 2008 stint in 10,000 BC.<br />
<br />
With no fewer than four projects scheduled for 2009, get ready for Camilla Bella to explode. Among others, she’ll appear in the Heroes-like Push with Dakota Fanning, as well as Three Stories About Joan, Bruce Willis’ directorial debut.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
