Who is the hottest actress working today?

My blogging usually consists of giving advice to filmmakers, discussing old movies I love, having interviews with professionals in the industry, etc. But today, I figured I would get down to what really matters. And what matters, of course, is hot actresses. I'm not talking about whose performances are the best, but rather, who is the hottest? Who is the sexiest? Who are you looking up on Google Images after you've read this?. *Please note, as I put this together, I couldn't help but bring their acting skills into my opinions. Maybe I'm not as shallow as I thought.....

Anyways, let's look at some contenders.


Well, let's start with the obvious, Megan Fox. Although, to be honest, it's yet to be seen whether she can act. But I'm sure 'Jennifer's Body' will prove she's not just a body. Megan is undeniably hot, but-- I dunno, I'm kind of bleh about her.

This is more like it, Scarlett Johannson. Anyone who is not completely in love with her is clearly on drugs. And she can definitely act! For proof of this, see 'Lost In Translation,' (one of my favourite films) 'Match Point' (she's about the only good thing in one of Woody's poorer efforts.)



You can't really have this kind of list without Cameron Diaz being a part of it, even though I think her days of being on these kinds of lists is over. It's not an age thing, just that nobody really seems bothered about her anymore. I'm still a fan though, and I think she makes some good acting choices.


To prove I'm not an ageist, I've got Monica Belluci in the list. She's now deep into her forties. Monica is a real woman, the kind who puts fluffy celebrity nobodies to shame. She's a model turned actress who can really act-- her performances are amongst the best I've seen. For a lesson is great acting and UNREAL hotness, 'Malena' is a must-see.




Going one further, Michelle Pfeiffer is now in her 50's, and still looks amazing! What is going on? Will she look this good at 90? Actually, that would be kind of sick. Mrs. Pfeiffer gets extra points for being the best actress on the list.

I sneak Natalie in casually here somewhere in the middle, as if I'm not bothered about her. But for me, Natalie's the one. Naturally beautiful, outrageously intelligent and meticulous in her choice of roles-- she's a real star.

A lot of people have been going on about Meagan Good and how hot she is, but until very recently I'd never heard of her. And then I saw 'The Unborn.' Is she hot? In a word, yes. Can she act? Um, no.

I'm not entirely sure that she would be classed conventionally as 'hot,' although I guess she must be otherwise they wouldn't cast her in such a big franchise like the 'Twighlight' series. Anyways, I like her-- and her acting is really quite special; mainly in roles nobody's seen her in, such as in the vastly underrated 'In The Land Of The Women' and her brief appearance in 'Into The Wild.'

Emmanuelle Chriqui is why we all watch 'Entourage' and the only reason guys saw 'You Don't Mess With The Zohan' in cinemas rather than waiting for the DVD.

Julia Roberts doesn't seem to get that much attention anymore. But she's great. I know that, you know that. Everybody loves Julia Roberts. She's not the hottest actress working today, but is deserving of a Lifetime Achievement In Being Hot Award or something like that.

Jessica Alba has a habit of turning up in really bad movies and making them entirely watchable. Your girlfriend turns to you and says 'Did you understand the story?' and you sit there panicked, wondering to yourself if there was a story, or indeed any actors on screen other than Alba.

Emma Watson. I don't know. The jury's out. She's evidently very beautiful, but then you might also say she's very young. Luckily I'm not really very old. I like her, I think.

Charlize Theron will always manage to make lists like this, which she definitely deserves, but weirdly -- nobody is ever that excited by her. But her acting is great, in a boring kind of way.

So what do you think? I must apologize to all you Angelina Jolie lovers, but she just doesn't do it for me. I also feel kind of bad for leaving off Kirsten Dunst and Rachel Bilson, because in years gone by they would have been right in there. Luckily, I'm sure they'll get over not being on my list.
