Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck has definitely made some...we'll call them: questionable...career choices (Gigli? Reindeer Games? Surviving Christmas?! Make it stop!), but not everything he's touched has turned to complete crap. Once upon a time, he was just a cute snaggle toothed Boston ...read more

Jessica Alba

Pretty, skinny and…ummm…welll…pretty, Jessica Alba’s continued success is a mystery to us. Her beauty and body make her bikini clad romp in Into the Blue or the lasso wielding, chaps-wearing exotic dancer in Sin City make sense. She’s so spellbinding, she play ...read more

Jennifer Aniston

She’s beautiful, successful and famous, but you just can’t help but feel bad for Jennifer Aniston. Maybe it’s because she’s been on The Zone for over thirteen years (you know she wants a jelly donut) or because she was very publicly dropped like a hot potato by ...read more

Penn Badgley

Love - Love! Penn Badgley is one lucky boy. After acting in not one, not two, but THREE short-lived shows on the WB, and being painfully underused in 2006's John Tucker Must Die, the CW finally gave him the chance to shine as outsider (and resident smokeshow!) Dan Humph ...read more

Christian Bale

Patrick Bateman, Batman, Dream Lover, Swing Kid, Smokeshow, Newsie: these are just a few of the names we have for Christian Bale. We need a new vocabulary for this man. The way the Eskimo have hundreds of words for snow, we need as many for the supreme excellence that i ...read more

Tyra Banks

If we looked up Fierce in the dictionary, Tyra Banks' picture would probably be smiling (with the eyes) right back at us! Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Tyra was an internationally known fashion model before her 18th birthday - on her first trip to Paris, it ...read more

Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton began her career as a lauded child actress. She was in Tony Kushner’s acclaimed Slavs! at the age of 9, The Sixth Sense at age 13, and became a star as The O.C.’s Marissa Cooper at 17. Since the show was cancelled last year, her major claim to fame is ...read more

Halle Berry

Halle Berry's journey from former beauty queen to leading lady has been a rollercoaster of highs (becoming the first African-American woman to win an Oscar as Best Actress for 2001's Monster's Ball) and lows (Catwoman, Swordfish, two painful divorces, a hit-and-run ...read more

Jessica Biel

When Jessica Biel decided she didn’t want to be on the Christian-centric family drama 7th Heaven anymore, she did what any 17-year-old would do to try to get fired; she posed nude in Gear Magazine. While that didn’t get her out of her contract, it did piss of her bo ...read more

Sophia Bush

Madonna

Does this Bay City, Michigan, girl really need an introduction? She asked Papa not to preach and told us how it felt to be like a virgin when she ruled school in the 80's and 90's. But the queen of reinvention has forgotten a few key elements in her 50 years, most impor ...read more

George Clooney

Get me a Caesar cut and a scalpel, STAT! As Dr. Doug Ross of ER (1994-2000), George Clooney finally launched into superstardom after years of failed pilots and short lived guest spots. The Lexington, Kentuky, native has declared he “will never be married again,” whi ...read more

Lauren Conrad

Why does she matter? By 2010, you'll forget this girl ever existed. The former "star" of MTV's craptastic "reality" show, Laguna Beach, now prances around Hollywood with her BFFs in her second MTV hit, The Hills. Born Lauren Katherine Conrad, the o ...read more

Sofia Coppola

Born into fame, Sofia Coppola took over for Winona Ryder in Godfather 3 and was promptly awarded a 1991 Razzie for Worst New Star/Worst Supporting Actress. But she returned triumphantly in 1999, directing The Virgin Suicides, and then won a 2004 Oscar for best original ...read more

Chace Crawford

John Travolta (Welcome Back, Cotter), Luke Perry (90210) and Chistopher Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl). Insert high-pitched shrieking here. With the sky-rocket success of the CW smash and a slightly covert relationship with American Idol Carrie Underwood, only time will t ...read more

Johnny Depp

While his eclectic and eccentric film roles, Johnny Depp has made a career as the picture-perfect anti-hero. He's so pretty to be this odd. The Owensboro, Kentucky, native has always had a commanding presence on both the small and silver screen, getting his start in 198 ...read more

Robert Downey, Jr.

"Comeback" doesn't even begin to describe Robert Downey Jr. The deeply gifted comedic actor joined the cast of SNL at the age of 20, was a member of the 80's Brat Pack and was nominated for an Oscar for his brilliant work in 1992's Chaplin before turning in ...read more

Kirsten Dunst

Ugh, the Fang...Where to begin? She was a star before she hit puberty, dated Jake Gyllenhaal, got to mack on Brad Pitt and made her screen debut in a Woody Allen project, she should be undyingly grateful for her inconceivable good luck. Instead Kirsten Dunst has ...read more

Zac Efron

Young or old, Zac Efron can bring out the screaming, crying, Tiger Beat-subscribing fan in us all. Luckily, he’s totally legal (Thank You, October 18th, 1987). Yes, there are gay rumors (you know you’re a star when someone claims you’re gay), plastic surgery rumor ...read more

Rihanna

What a difference 3 years makes! When Barbados beauty Rihanna first came on to the scene in 2005, she was mostly a dancehall diva. Discovered by hip-hop superstar and savvy businessman, Jay-Z, it wasn't long before she shed those wavy brown locks and sunny songs for th ...read more

America Ferrera

Morgan Freeman

God Almighty, we love this man! Morgan Freeman has made a successful career out of playing mostly supporting roles, but don't be fooled, Freeman's still in a league of his own when demanding attention onscreen. With his calm yet authoritative voice (which he applied to ...read more

Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner karate chopped her way onto the scene in 2001 as Sydney Bristow in J.J. Abrams’ oeuvre “Alias.” She's so wholesome she practically squeaks, even when she’s roundhouse kicking bad guys in the face, a feat made easier by her training for her initi ...read more

Balthazar Getty

Balthazar Getty is a human rollercoaster. His first acting job was the lead in 1990's Lord of the Flies, a role that made him an international superstar at 13 after being discovered in his junior high art class. But the blue-blooded oil heir (great-grandfather was billi ...read more

Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal could have easily been sent to B-Movie hell after Bubble Boy but with his role in the indie cult classic Donnie Darko followed by performances in The Good Girl, Moonlight Mile, and the instant classic Brokeback Mountain, Jake proved he wasn't just a prod ...read more

Maggie Gyllenhaal

We've had a real love-hate relationship with Maggie Gyllenhaal ever since 2000 when we saw her perform on stage in Closer. It seems like every time we start to like her in movies again, she wears some god-awful outfit and we just end up wanting to bitch-slap her! We're ...read more

Anne Hathaway

Anne Jacqueline Hathaway first warmed our hearts as the family-friendly beauty in Princess Diaries 1 and 2, and Ella Enchanted before shocking us with nude scenes in Brokeback Mountain. Princess boobs! She starred opposite her idol, Meryl Streep, in The Devil Wears Prad ...read more

Katie Holmes

Poor Katie Holmes. She left the Creek and found herself Cruise-ing a new creek without a paddle. Little palsy faced Joey Potter (her lopsidedness has always made us nuts) sold her soul to the Scientologists in hopes of becoming a bigger star and now she’s a couch jump ...read more

Vanessa Hudgens

Who has a better life than Vanessa Hudgens? She’s a triple threat (sings, acts, dances) with a gold record. She’s a millionaire many times over thanks to her starring roles in the High School Musical series, and she gets to kiss Zac Efron both on and off the job. Lu ...read more

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson or, as we like to call her, HoJo, is one of luckiest women in Hollywood. She had already earned street cred and critical acclaim by the age of 12 in 1996's Manny & Lo when she was hand picked by Robert Redford to star in his film The Horse Whisper ...read more

Angelina Jolie

Not just one of the world’s most beautiful women but also possibly its most famous homewrecker, Angelina Jolie happens to be an outstanding actress too, winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Girl Interrupted in 2000. She comes from good stock after all. Despit ...read more

Alicia Keys

It takes a lot of talent to get noticed in today's music scene, and even more drive to be able to stick it out once you've made it. If the 11 Grammy's on her shelf are any indication, Alicia Keys has talent and drive for years. A true New Yorker (she calls Hell's Kitche ...read more

Nicole Kidman

Kidman can be found in the dictionary under "cold fish." But beneath her icy cool exterior lies a passionate heart, on display both in movies like Eyes Wide Shut and Moulin Rouge and a relationship track record that includes current husband and newly-minted ba ...read more

Beyoncé

Love her or hate her (we hate her), no one can deny Beyoncé's ability to belt out a hit, cling to the spotlight and shake that badonkadonk like her life depended on it. The sweet little girl who loved Popeye's chicken and was one third of Destiny's Child str ...read more

Shia LaBeouf

Shia, Shia, Shia. We'd feel bad for this guy if he wasn't so damn boring and talentless. But hey, maybe it's not his fault; he IS another escapee from the Mouse House, and look how most of them have turned out (We're not talk to you, JT and Christina. Love You!) Sure, w ...read more

Jude Law

Not long ago, the mere mention of Jude Law would make you have to run for smelling salts. What did Sienna Miller do to him? Today he looks tired, his hair is receding and his last good film came out in 2004. It makes us want to go back to 1999 when he was dazzling in T ...read more

Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger's tragic accidental death just as his mesmorizing performance in The Dark Knight was set to hit movie screens places him in a pantheon with James Dean and River Phoenix; the ones we loved and lost too soon. One of Hollywood's most promising young actors, t ...read more

Blake Lively

Whether she's squaring off against Blair/her mom/her grandma on Gossip Girl or hooking up with her soccer coach on the beach in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, we just can't seem to get enough of Blake Lively! Maybe that's because performing is in her blood; her ...read more

Lindsay Lohan

Oh Lindsay. You had so much going for you - a Disney approved career, a healthy body for your young fans to aspire to, a sitcom star boyfriend and studios bending over backwards to hire you. What happened? Oh, yeah…now we remember. You were out clubbing and partying w ...read more

Tom Cruise

It’s been a long, strange trip from the kid in socks and tighty-whiteys to the possible messiah of Scientology. When Cruise burst on the scene in a string of 80s movies like Risky Business, The Outsiders and Legend, his path to Hollywood superstardom seemed secure. To ...read more

Leighton Meester

Carrie Bradshaw, watch out! Leighton Meester is quickly becoming the new posterchild for hot TV fashion. Fitting for the ex-model who was discovered at the age of 11 and was soon posing for Ralph Lauren campaigns and photographers like Bruce Webber and Sofia Coppola. Bo ...read more

Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller is only noteworthy for one reason; her uncanny ability to ruin the lives of the men she seduces. The only reason we know her name is because she hooked up with Jude Law on the set of their 2004 movie, Alfie, while the ink was still fresh on his divorce pap ...read more

Brittany Murphy

What is it about Brittany Murphy? Maybe it’s the fading memory of her endearing breakout role in Clueless or the loveable bimbo she voices on King of the Hill, but after all the Ashton Kutcher hi-jinks, plastic surgery denials (yeah, right), two failed engagements and ...read more

Ashley Olsen

Gorgeous looks? Check. Business savvy? Check. No DUI's? Triple Check! Known primarily as one half of the unstoppable power duo that is The Olsen Twins (a title both girls shun and try to shuck), Ashley Olsen is living proof that not all child stars have to end up like G ...read more

Mary-Kate Olsen

Being a multimillionaire before you turn 18 can be hard. Just ask Mary-Kate Olsen. Her recent and very public battle with aneorexia couldn't have been easy and now the miniature mogul is partying so hard rumors are spreading that she'll soon be back in rehab for drugs ...read more

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltow, oh ye of flaxen hair and sinewy physique. Thee with thy perfect English accent and even more perfect English husband (Chris Martin of Coldplay). Curse you, Gwennie! You make the rest of us look bad. Both Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt were powerless against h ...read more

Ryan Phillippe

Ryan Phillippe’s career began in 1992 on the daytime drama One Life to Live, where he played Billy Douglas, the first gay teenager to appear on a soap opera. Gay men have had their fingers crossed and their eyes on him every since. When Sarah Michell Gellar enticingly ...read more

Brad Pitt

With these words, “Well I may be an outlaw, darlin', but you're the one stealing my heart,” the ultimate heartthrob was born. On December 18th, 1963, William Bradley Pitt entered this world and gave us a new synonym for all a man can and should be. Now a father of f ...read more

Nicole Richie

Chubby Paris Hilton tag-a-long loses the weight and makes good. Nicole Camille Escovedo was born on September 21st, 1981, in Berkeley, California, but was adopted by Lionel Richie in 1990. And that’s where the trouble began. "The Simple Life” made her known, he ...read more

Alex Rodriguez

Career Batting Average: .306. Career Home-Runs: 538 (and counting). All-Star Appearances: 12 (and counting). MVP Awards: 3 (and counting). So he's got that going for him, which is nice. But it's ultimately all outweighed by a career in New York kicked off by an obscene ...read more

Seth Rogen

If you've laughed really hard in the past few years, chances are Seth Rogen had something to do with it. Not only is he part of the revered Judd Apatow inner sanctum (he appeared in Anchorman, The 40-year old Virgin, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express and wrote Superbad), ...read more

Liv Tyler

Born to Rock royalty, Liv didn't know that Aerosmith's Steven Tyler was her biological father until she was 11. She made sure to follow in his footsteps to fame though, even if she took a more understated route, first appearing in an Aerosmith music video ("Crazy&q ...read more

Britney Spears

She may be crazy but she’s sold more than 83 million albums. Britney Spears, despite all her recent episodes, might still be heir apparent to the Madonna mantle. Who can forget the moment she ripped away her costume to reveal a bedazzled nude bodysuit and the raddest ...read more

Gwen Stefani

True, if we hear “Hollaback Girl” one more time, we’re going to lose our mind, but you just can’t deny the powerhouse that is Gwen Stefani. Here she comes and she’s ready to rock! And rock she does. Whether she’s fronting No Doubt, designing the fashion line ...read more

Justin Timberlake

There is nothing Baby Daddy Justin Timberlake does badly. People who work with him continually describe him as the most innately talented person they’ve ever met. The ‘NSYNC boy-bander went solo and was rewarded with six Grammys and an Emmy (for his hilarious SNL sk ...read more

Ed Westwick

We want to hate him, we really do, but we just can't. Playing easily one of the scummiest characters in recent memory on the CW's juggernaut of a show, Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick has us officially under his spell. We're so smitten, we're even willing to forgive those eyeb ...read more

Amy Winehouse

Like many greats before her (Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston), Amy Winehouse has the voice, the talent and the insatiable urge to ruin it all with drugs. If we were to look up "trainwreck" or "hot mess" in the dictionary, this girl's pi ...read more

Reese Witherspoon

James Woods

James Woods has made a career of talking fast and thinking faster. He made the leap to fame as a hardened cop killer in 1979’s The Onion Field and has been one of Hollywood’s most eccentric leading men ever since. A member of MENSA, he uses that big brain on the lad ...read more
