The BoomRoasted Hot 100* (30-21)

I'm skipping the links in the interest of saving time, so you guys are on your own. Scroll down if you want a re-cap.

Let's move on....

30. Lea Michelle ("Glee", "New Year's Eve"). I've made it no secret that I despise the show "Glee". There's just something about shows that a cross between "Fame" and "Saved By The Bell" with a little mix of "Queer As Folk" that doesn't garner much of my interest. However, "Glee" has managed to produce at least one thing for the heterosexual masses to be thankful for: Lea Michele. Now, besides the fact that she's buried on a show no straight man would watch, Lea also has the same tragic flaw that Erin Andrews does: her nose ruins what is an astounding overall product. Sure, it's nit-picking to dock points from world-class beauties like Andrews and Michele for having a larger-than-normal nose but when talking about the 100 hottest women on the planet, it's important not to sugar-coat flaws. Look, Michele's body is excellent. It's not waif thin and it's not Trina thick. She's good from the front and the back and, in the right pictures, her big nose isn't even that glaring(at least in comparison to Andrews' honker, which is unavoidable). That's why she's in the Top 30. Would I like to see her on a show that is more likely to grab my attention? Absolutely. Could she do movies besides shitty ensemble cast flicks like "New Year's Eve" or the forthcoming "Dorothy of Oz" so that we can enjoy her more on the big screen? Definitely, but she's a hottie that came out of nowhere on a show many expected to flop(and even more hoped that it would) and has managed to become a rising star, huge beak be damned.



29. Megan Fox ("The Transformers", "Jennifer's Body") Like Lea Michele, Megan Fox is another who fell down this list because of a glaring flaw(and it's not just because she's a shitty actress). Unlike Michele, Fox's malformity can't be fixed with some fancy plastic surgery. In fate's never-ending quest to deny the world of the perfect woman, Megan Fox has been cursed with toe thumbs. "Oh, but Dave, who cares? Nobody's looking at her hands anyway!", you say. Duly noted, except tell me that when you heard about Fox's toe thumbs that you weren't immediately drawn to looking at her hands like it was Cindy Crawford's mole. "Well, if her hands are that grotesque, why is she this high on the list?", you ask. Because if Megan Fox wore boxing gloves in public for the rest of her life, she'd still be one of the five hottest women alive. Physically, she has EVERYTHING with the exception of normal hands. Her body? Phenomenal. Her face? Beautiful. Those icy blue eyes? Magnetic. She's as much a reason for the success of the first two "Transformers" movies as the fancy CGI and battle scenes. "So, you're telling me you dropped a potential top 5 hottie to 29th because of messed up thumbs!?"......Well, yes and no. The thumbs are a heartbreaker but so is Fox's penchant for starring in shitty movies. Her attitude got her kicked out of the third "Transformers" film, which some have called the best of the three. You take away the first two in the trilogy and what's left of Fox's career? "Jonah Hex"? God-awful. "Jennifer's Body"? Terrible, even by horror movie standards. "Friends With Kids"? Nobody saw it. Her attitude and horrid acting skills have, for lack of a better term, transformed Fox into a much hotter version of Shannen Doherty. It's hard to rate someone even with Fox's world-class beauty when the fact that studios are afraid to cast her might ruin her career in a couple years. Fox has two movies in the works. Two....and they both come out this year. Have you ever seen a under-30 siren coming off starring in two summer blockbusters have just two movies on tap in the near future? She has less work on her plate than Kristen Stewart, and Stewart's not even on this list. At the end of the day, we'll always have Fox's glistening belly in the opening hour of the first "Transformers" movie and her bikini-clad appearances on "Two And A Half Men". At least we'll have this to remember her by when she's out of the Hollywood scene by time she's 30. Well, that, and her toe thumbs.



28. Stacy Keibler (Former WWE Diva/Current George Clooney main squeeze). Her long legs are as famous a body part as any single entity on a man or woman, living or otherwise. Her beautiful face was almost destined to get her out of cheerleading for the Ravens and into the Hollywood spotlight. When she first came to our TV sets via WCW and then eventually WWE, it was impossible to keep our eyes off of her. With her wrestling days over, Stacy Keibler is now an "actress" by default. She's made a few cameos on shows like "How I Met Your Mother", "Psych" and "Chuck" but, right now, she's best known as being the latest in a long stable of women who held the title of "George Clooney's girlfriend". The good news is Clooney isn't going anywhere and he'll be an A-lister until he's no longer breathing. The bad news is Clooney is the King of No Commitment, which means Keibler's days are numbered unless she can manage to finally tie the former Bruce Wayne down. Perhaps she can use Clooney's star power to grab some good roles so that the world can continue to be impressed by those 42'' legs and that astounding smile. Until then, she'll have to stick to lighting up the red carpet at award shows with The Cloons and we'll have to hope that her career doesn't fade to black when he gives her her walking papers.



27. Beyonce (Singer/Actress, "Dreamgirls"). Some will say this is a little low for Mrs. Carter, but keep in mind that Maxim didn't even have Beyonce on their list. There is no questioning Beyonce is one of the hottest women alive. Her spot here is a bit tenuous. For one, I need to see how that legendary body responds to just having a baby. I know, superstars like Beyonce have kids, get world-class trainers and come back looking better than ever. Britney Spears did it. Jessica Alba did it, but I need to see it first. Second, because she was carrying Jigga's seed, there obviously haven't been the usual slew of Beyonce videos where she's dropping it down and making change. That time away from the limelight has allowed others to leapfrog her a bit. Will she make a brilliant comeback? Of course, she will. Will she be higher on this list when it happens? Damn straight. It's just hard to put a woman on maternity leave ahead of her more active competitors. She's only 31 and there's a reason Men's Health named her one of "100 Hottest Woman of All-Time". Beyonce or Sasha Fierce or whatever stupid alias she wants to use will be back. Until then, this is her spot. Not bad for a woman who just had a baby.



26. Katharine McPhee ("Smash", "The House Bunny"). She's ahead of Beyonce because, while Mrs. Carter was away on baby business, McPhee made a comeback from "American Idol" runner up to star-of-a-hit-NBC-show-destined-to-be-cancelled. "Smash" might not be much of a show and it's window might be closing but it's short-lived popularity made Katharine McPhee a household name for at least a couple weeks. We'll all agree that, when Beyonce comes back, she'll be higher on this list so spare me the "How is Kat McPhee hotter than Beyonce" hate mail. She's come a long way from cameos in bad movies like "Shark Night 3D" and "The House Bunny" and her new found relevance has allowed us to enjoy what caught our eye in the first place: her amazing boobs. Yes, Katharine McPhee's rack was such a thing of legend that she had to confirm they were real on the now-defunct(thankfully) "Tyra Banks Show" by having Tyra feel them up(or as I call it, one of the greatest moments in TV history). McPhee isn't much of a singer or an actress but she's just enough of both to keep her career breathing and give us the opportunity to enjoy her presence. My only career advice for McPhee(beyond finding someone better to approve your scripts): Stay away from the bleach blond look. You're hotter as a brunette. We don't when NBC will eventually pull the plug on "Smash". After all, they let "Friends" run for 10 years and that show was as funny as "Schindler's List". We do know that McPhee does have a role in the "Carrie" re-make coming next year so she'll be in your line of sight for at least another year. After that, she can continue to go on ill-fated talk shows and get groped by the host for the rest of her life and I'll be a happy man.



25. Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family", "Four Brothers") The final five of this portion of the list was so difficult to put in order that I had to take a time-out and send a mass text to get a better perspective. That only made matters worse as there was no real consensus on any of these five women. With that said, this is my disclaimer: I concede that you could make the case for any of these five women to be at #21. Let's all agree though that, regardless of the order you put them in, this is right about where we expected them to go, ok? For many, Sofia Vergara didn't show up on their radar until "Modern Family" blew up back in 2009. If you're like me, you've been keeping a close watch on Sofia since 2002's "Big Trouble" with Tim Allen. It was that movie plus "Chasing Papi", which came right after it, that got her noticed by FHM, which quickly did a spread on the then-30 Vergara. Now, she's everywhere. Pepsi commercials, award show red carpets, big movies......so why is she fifth out of the final five? For one, the rest of the list is pretty stacked and, while Sofia has most of them beat in the body department, the other four a tad bit prettier in the face. Again, you can make the case for Sofia to be higher, but when push came to shove, nobody could make a convincing argument to move her up. Of the the people we surveyed, one had her at the top, the majority had her in the bottom two. Blame democracy, people. Here's what Sofia has going for her: arguably the best body of anyone on this list, which is impressive at a month short of her 40th birthday. Second, she's snatched away Shakira's crown as the hottest woman from Columbia. Third, the success of "Modern Family" assures that her career will last longer than at least half of the four girls listed ahead of her in this group. The problem is, as I mentioned in the bottom 10 of this Hot 100, hot chick lists are a young woman's game. Sofia's hot at damn near 40. That's without question, but in a tiebreaker, a hot 26-year old beats a hot 40-year old any day of the week. We're glad she emerged from the crappy slate of movies she cut her teeth on to become a cable television darling, but it was tough making a convincing argument for the Latin Dolly Parton.



24. Jessica Biel ("The A-Team" "Valentine's Day"). It feels like we've been putting Jessica Biel on these lists forever. Ever since she became the only reason to watch "7th Heaven" during the late 90's and early parts of the new millenium, we've had our on eye on Jessica. The show came to a close in 2006 but, during the latter part of that time, Jessica kept herself busy by doing a slew of terrible movies. "Summer Catch", "Blade: Trinity", "The Rules of Attraction"......it was like she was trying to see how many movies she can do with guys on the cover of Teen Beat. "7th Heaven" eventually ended but, unfortunately, Jessica's bad taste in scripts didn't. "Home of the Brave", "Next".....ugh. "The Illusionist" was liked by a few people. I wasn't one of them. Then came "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry", an Adam Sandler comedy where Biel is LITERALLY the only reason to watch the movie. 2007 wasn't all bad for Biel fans though. After years of being teased with Biel in low cut shirts and bikinis, Jessica finally bared all in "Powder Blue", where she plays a stripper. The movie, in typical Biel fashion, is terrible but her scenes make it worth a watch(another typical Biel staple). After that, Biel got into the trend of doing movies with large ensemble casts. As if "Valentine's Day" wasn't bad enough, someone green-lighted "New Year's Eve" not too long after. Both movies featured nearly every notable actor and actress known to man(at least those who weren't really big on respectability) and both movies were tough to watch. Fortunately, Biel's string of bad movies came to an end with "The A-Team", a surprisingly good modernized take on the classic TV show. There are rumors of an inevitable sequel but, in the meantime, Biel will join another large cast of attractive women in the "Total Recall" remake, one of six movies Biel has on tap(taking notes, Megan Fox?). Sure, Biel's responsible for some terrible films and her shitty acting is probably the cause of the most of that but at least she makes up for it by being a top-notch beauty. Biel's become a veteran of these lists for a little over a decade and she just turned 30. Her engagement to Justin Timberlake and the fact that she continues to keep herself busy means we're looking at another decade of dominance from her on these lists. Here's hoping those 10 years provide us more movies like "A-Team" and less movies like "Stealth".


23. Kate Beckinsale ("Underworld", "Contraband") Kate Beckinsale running around in a tight black leather outfit is perhaps the only reason to watch those silly "Underworld" movies. Beckinsale has proven throughout her career to be the total package with her slender frame, her sexy smile and the fact that she can put on 20 pounds for the movie "The Aviator" and still be the hottest chick on the screen. However, "Underworld" hipped us all to something that has become the world's least kept secret: Kate Beckinsale has a booty on her! Yes, Beckinsale's badonk has become a fixture on nearly every "Hottest Asses In Hollywood" list that's been comprised. Kate's rear is just the highlight of what is an amazing package and the popularity of the "Underworld" movies means Beckinsale is going to be around a while. Her next big project is the re-make of "Total Recall" due out later this year. Chances are, the movie will suck but, much like she's done throughout her career, Kate will use her beauty to turn a crappy movie into something watchable. Like with Sofia Vergara, Beckinsale is in for a fight to keep this spot as someone nearing 40 in a world that keeps getting hit with an influx of hot youth, but Beckinsale's feisty, so we know her and her amazing tush will be around for a while to heat up this list.



22. Arianny Celeste (UFC ring girl/model) She's only really famous for being the hottest woman for one of the most popular sports in the world. Arianny Celeste doesn't act. She doesn't sing. She doesn't dance. She struts across the ring in between rounds holding up a large sign with a number on it and occassionally doing some hosting for UFC. Oh, and getting arrested for battery domestic abuse. Did we mention she's really really hot? Her recent run-in with the law won't hurt her standing with UFC, according to boss Dana White, and it only helps with her street cred. That means the world gets more of the hottest ring girl to ever live. She's done Maxim. She's done FHM. Most importantly, she's done Playboy. Does it matter that that is the gyst of her career? Of course not. Society has proven that, when you're extremely hot, the world finds a way to make room for you. Obviously, we'd like to see more of Arianny in things other than mugshots and a couple waltzes during MMA pay-per-views, so here's hoping the battery charge doesn't mar her career and that she avoids spending her free time throwing glass vases at her estranged boyfriends. We all like a fiery type, but not when they are the second coming of Tawny Kitaen.



21. Kaley Cuoco ("Big Bang Theory"). She's emerged as every comic book geek and science nerd's dream woman, thanks to her role as Penny on the insanely funny "Big Bang Theory". Before she was the hottest thing to hit CBS, she was the cute girl on "8 Simple Rules..." before the death of John Ritter submarined the show. It's been seven years since "8 Simple Rules..." went off the air but, thankfully, Kaley is back on television. At first, a show about a hot chick who befriends her geeky neighbors seemed destined for failure but the show has been a huge hit and Kaley has made her mark as one of young Hollywood's rising stars. At 27, Cuoco has blossomed since the last time she was on a hit show from a pretty young girl to a sexy young woman and now she's become a hot commodity. "Big Bang Theory" highlights everything there is to love about Cuoco: her quick wit, her charming smile, her pretty green eyes and, of course, her outstanding body. Kaley's body has become such an obsession these days that Google images is swamped with photoshopped nude pics of her(Granted, you can probably make that case for a lot of actresses.). "Big Bang Theory" seems to be all that's in the works for Cuoco, with last year's "Hop" being the only other diversion from television. That's just fine by us as the success of the show means more chances to see Cuoco and the more acclaim it gets, the higher she'll climb on these lists.

The BoomRoasted Hot 100* (40-31)

You know the drill by now.....

100-91
90-81
80-71
70-61
60-51
50-41

Time to get after it.


40. Amy Adams ("The Fighter" "Enchanted"), Even Stevie Wonder could see that there was something sexy about Amy Adams walking around in her skivvies in "The Fighter". If people weren't already aware before, "The Fighter" opened eyes to just how much of a babe Amy Adams is. Of course, she killed all that momentum with the Muppets movie she did right after, but these things happen. Luckily, Adams gets a crack at working with real humans again and solidifying her hotness when she plays Lois Lane in the new Superman flick "Man of Steel" next year. For some, the Amy Adams watch started with the first season of "The Office", when Adams played a pretty purse saleswoman who caught the attention of the men in the office. That little cameo lead to a couple other appearances on the show, which she parlayed into roles in movies like "Charlie Wilson's War", "Enchanted", "Doubt" and "Julie and Julia". Those movies had her ranging from being an adorable secretary to a cutesy princess to a sneaky hot nun. When she started rocking midriffs, showing stomach and getting down with Marky Mark in the Mickey Ward bio "The Fighter", it was time to take Adams seriously as one of the hottest women on the planet. Sure, her prime has come a little late in the game as she's nearing 40 but it's here and it's wonderful. If "Man of Steel" does for her what playing Mary Jane did for Kirsten Dunst in the Spider-Man trilogy, we'll look back at her spot at #40 as being very generous.


39. Salma Hayek ("Desperado", "Frida"). My friend Marcus tried to make a late campaign for rap video vixen Rosa Acosta. However, when I informed him that the bar set for cracking the Top 40 was Salma Hayek, he found it difficult to make a case. Salma Hayek came at a time where the movie world was devoid of hot Latin actresses. Before her breakout role in "Desperado", the best men could hope for when they wanted some Latin flavor was trying to withstand Rosie Perez's wretched voice during "White Men Can't Jump" to enjoy the few glimpses of her naked boobs. Then, Hayek busted out onto the scene(no pun intended). "Desperado" was not only a sneaky entertaining movie, but people starting asking the question "Who is that hot chick getting it on with Antonio Banderas?". Sure, nearly two decades have passed since then but Hayek has kept busy by using her trademark rack to make terrible movies enjoyable. "Dogma", "Fools Rush In", "Wild Wild West", "From Dusk Til Dawn"......it wasn't until "Frida" in 2002 where Hayek was able to nab a movie with some positive critical acclaim. Since then, it's been a few appearances here and there to let the world know she still exists. She did six episodes of "30 Rock". She had a role in the Adam Sandler movie "Grown Ups" as well as the sequel due out next year and she has a few other projects in the work as well. At 46, she's not the same sultry senorita that she was when she lit up "Desperado" but she still has the goods and, so long as she keeps herself busy, it's going to be hard for the Rosa Acostas of the world to push her off this list.


38. Michelle Williams ("Dawson's Creek", "Brokeback Mountain") She was 18 when she played promiscuous wild child Jen Lindley on "Dawson's Creek" and, much like the show itself, we never really appreciated everything Michelle Williams had to offer. It wasn't until her lesbian scenes with Chloe Sveigny in "If These Walls Could Talk 2" that we realized the kind of beauty we were dealing with Ms. Williams. From there, Williams set out to make her mark as a serious actress with serious hotness. "Brokeback Mountian" put her on the map as a A-level actress and put to bed all "Creek" stigma that plagued her other cast mates. After that, every movie became a memorable Michelle Williams nude scene. "Incendiary", "Blue Valentine", "Take This Waltz"......Williams was unafraid to let the world know what she was working with. At 32, she's one of Hollywood's biggest actresses and, while she's a long way from bringing boys home to hump on her grandma's 3000-count sheets like she did once upon a time on the WB, she's a double threat who can take over a movie with her talent and her assets. Somewhere, Dawson Leery is kicking himself.


37. Elisha Cuthbert ("Girl Next Door", "24"). She caught our eye as Jack Bauer's daughter on the epic FOX show "24"(unless, of course, you were a Nickelodeon fan and caught her for years on "Are You Afraid of the Dark?") and she really grabbed our attention as a porn star in the movie "Girl Next Door". From there, it was kind of downhill for Elisha Cuthbert. She had a couple high profile romances with hockey stars, most notably Sean Avery of the Kings/Rangers(who got suspended for saying Cuthbert's current beau Dion Phaneuf was taking his "sloppy seconds".). She starred in the terrible horror film "House of Wax" along with Paris Hilton. Then, it was back to television. She did a few episodes on "The Forgotten" and then went on to "Happy Endings" with Damon Wayans Jr. The flame may have petered out on her career but, at nearing 30, she's still one of the sexiest women in the game. She never really had the makings of being a Natalie Portman type actress but she's still worth a look on a Maxim spread. Things may be bleak for Ms. Cuthbert, unless she chooses to go the C-level movie route doing soft core at 3 A.M. on Showtime, but she always has the beauty and body to turn things around. Just remember, Elisha, "Girl Next Door 2" is just a phone call away.


36. Amanda Bynes ("What A Girl Wants" "Easy A"). On the long list of child stars who grew into gorgeous women right before our eyes, Amanda Bynes is a name that seems to get lost in the mix. Rather than emerge from the hot girl child factory that is The Disney Channel, Bynes came to us via Nickelodeon, first with the kids' sketch comedy show "All That" and then with her own show on the network. She was cute. She was talented. She was funny. Then, "What A Girl Wants" came out in 2003 and we realized she wasn't a kid anymore. For a woman who has been in the business since she was a small child, Bynes' resume isn't quite stacked. Fortunately, she is. After "What A Girl Wants", there was "She's The Man" and then a return to television with former "90210" star Jennie Garth on the show "What I Like About You". It was in that stretch that we got to witness Bynes' talents as an actress blessed with great range and comedic ability as well got a good look at a young woman who's beauty could keep her entrenched on Hot 100 lists for decades. After"What I Like About You" bit the dust, Bynes did a couple more movies but then, in 2010, announced her retirement from acting at the tender age of 26 leaving us with the Emma Stone comedy "Easy A" as her swan song. The tragedy of Bynes screaming "No mas" in her relative prime, physically and talent-wise, is that the world gets robbed of a rare beauty who was more than just a pretty face. She was Lindsey Lohan without all the demons(though Bynes did have a DUI arrest to her name). She had the potential of a new age Lucille Ball, but alas, it's over. Here's hoping she makes a comeback because she's a hottie whose been on the radar for a long time and the world would suck if it was left with less-talented carbon copies like Miley Cyrus is Bynes' place instead.


35. Maria Menounos ("Access Hollywood" "One Tree Hill") She's the best thing the Greeks have given us since tzatzki sauce. Technically, Maria Menounos is the pride of Massachusetts but she's all Greek goddess. It's hard to really pigeon-hole Menounos into one thing. She's an "actress" but she doesn't have many roles where she isn't playing herself beyond a role in the Jamie Kennedy film "Kickin' It Old School" and a 10-episode run on the second season of "One Tree Hill". She's been a host on "Extra!" and "Access Hollywood" but neither tenure was extensive. She did some hosting work for the "Real World" reunion specials on MTV and even a stint with the WWE hosting Raw and a couple PPVs. She's a jack-of-all-trades who just happens to be a master of one: being hot. The fact that she isn't really known for one thing is actually a good thing because it allows her to wear a number of hats. Regardless of how TV execs do it, they find a way to get Menounos' huge smile, pretty face and sexy body on television screens. For that, we are incredibly thankful. With Michelle Beadle set to take over Access Hollywood in the next month, the hope is that we can find Maria on something more consistent so that we can appreciate her, uh, talents and hopes she avoids joining Nancy O'Dell on the list of flash-in-the-pan hot chicks who never did much beyond celebrity gossip shows.



34. Emma Stone ("The Amazing Spider-Man", "Easy A"). Since "Superbad" in 2007, Emma Stone has been a rising star in the movie world. She followed up that performance with roles in movies like "Zombieland", "The Rocker", and "The House Bunny" . It wasn't until "Easy A" where Emma showed she can carry a movie, albeit a not-that-great movie. She made up for it by being a large part of last year's breakout hit "The Help". Now, she's web-slinging Kirsten Dunst out of the Spider-man's leading lady throne when she plays Gwen Stacy in the highly-anticipated "The Amazing Spider-Man". With her red hair and come-hither stare, Stone looks better suited to play Mary Jane Watson(the role played by Dunst, who was the girlfriend AFTER Stone's Gwen Stacy). With the potential of the new Spiderman movie and Stone riding high from her big 2011, she could escalate up this list quickly, It also helps that she has a certain seductiveness to her. The cute smile, the rasp in her voice, her quick wit. She doesn't have the sex appeal of a Scarlett Johansson or Katy Perry but she has a way to garner attention. If this summer goes as planned, she'll sure have a lot of it.


33. Shakira (Singer). She's this low because she hasn't dropped an album in two years(even though her eighth album is in the works as we speak) and, because of that, the world has kind of forgotten about her. She's the owner of the most fascinating hips the music world has ever seen. No woman can captivate the male population with some simple belly dancing the way Shakira can. Her duet with Wyclef, "Hips Don't Lie", was the best-selling single of the last decade. Six years after its release, the video will be the image that will be embedded in our brains when we think of her years down the road. The down side to Shakira is that she's a one-trick pony. She doesn't act(at least not in American movies) and her songs, while wildly popular, can get a bit annoying when played ad nauseum. Sure, we can watch Columbia's finest shake her hips until our pupils dilate but eventually even that will get old. She's a pretty face with a well-sculpted body that even women lust over, but she isn't exactly this generation's Celine Dion. As memorable as her videos are, you're more inclined to watch them on mute. I know that's a bit harsh to say about #33 on our list but tell me the last time you bumped Shakira in your car for longer than 10 minutes. She's exotic. She's sexy. She's seductive. She's mesmerizing.....and she's another failed record away from judging the Telemundo version of "The Voice". The hope is her eighth record, set to be released this year, gives us a new found appreciation of her work and some more videos to drool over. If she can't, her hips will forever be entrenched on the Mount Rushmore of Body Parts along with J.Lo's butt, Pam Anderson's boobs and Tina Turner's legs. Not a bad achievement for a woman we can barely understand.



32. Christina Hendricks ("Mad Men", "Life As We Know It"). She is to breasts what Shakira is to hips. She's a throwback to the days where busty actresses towered over Hollywood like a colossus. That being said, there really isn't much else to Christina Hendricks. She's a key part to one of the best shows on TV, "Mad Men", and she's a poster child for hope for gingers everywhere but she has her flaws for someone ranked so high on other lists. She's a poor man's Kate Winslet. With Winslet's "Titanic" days over, America has moved on to another pretty redhead with great boobs. The issue there is she doesn't have Winslet's striking beauty and, as we've mentioned about other candidates, she's a little on the pale side. As Joan Harris on "Mad Men", Hendricks gets the benefit of getting a little color. With a little time in the tanning booth, Hendricks could move up a little higher on my list. Why is she this high then, you ask? Well, while her boobs may be her main(and in my opinion, only) drawing point, it helps that they are an impressive pair(rumored to be a 38-DDD) and she's a nice change-of-pace from the skinny waifs that Hollywood ushers in front of us as the new "hot". Esquire Magazine named Hendricks "The Sexiest Woman In The World" in 2010, which I have to take issue with. Don't me wrong. Hendricks is hot in her own special way and she gets extra props for being different from the Hollywood stick figures(especially from me, a well-known "boob guy"), but the hottest woman on the planet? Really? Even if it was two years ago, could you really say that with a straight face? Hotter than Katy Perry or Scarlett Johanson? Regardless, she deserves to be on this list but it was tough to me to put her much higher with the heavy hitters we have coming up.

31. Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl" "The Town"). It's amazing what a couple leaked naked photos can do for one's career. "Gossip Girl" along with the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" movies and "Accepted" first got Blake Lively on the radar as a cute young actress with some real potential. Then, Lively got the right kind of combination to move her from "cute" to "hot". First, her sexy role in the "The Town" as a slutty, train wreck barfly. Then, the now-infamous nude cell phone pictures. If "The Town" piqued our interest on Lively's goods, the leaked photos satisfied our cravings. Why celebrities think that they can take naked pictures of themselves and it not get out to the masses is a form of naivete that I'm just not buying. Whether Lively feels violated or not, the pictures certainly didn't hurt her cause. She's pretty and with "The Town" and the nude pics, there's proof she has a body to go with that killer smile. There isn't much on tap beyond "Gossip Girl" and "Savages", due out later this year but, at 25, Blake's only scratching the surface. She's a sexy young lass who had her name on the tips of every guy's tongue for the better part of 2011. You can't buy that kind of buzz.

The BoomRoasted Hot 100* (50-41)

We're halfway through so far as the list continues to move at a snail's pace. Here's the links for those that need to catch up:

100-91
90-81
80-71
70-61
60-51

Let's keep it going.....

50. Victoria Justice ("Victorious"). If you are a frequent visitor to the The Disney Channel, you've probably seen the girl who represents the halfway point of the Hot 100 on her show "Victorious". If you're like me and are over the age of 16 and don't have kids, you probably had to break out the Wikipedia. Here's what I learned about Victoria Justice within the last hour of research(yes, hour. On a website viewed by adults, I had to dig to find some info on Ms. Justice that doesn't make this list a target for pedophiles......to no avail, I may add)....she's 19 and, from the looks of her, she's got everything going for her that fellow Disney Channel staple Selena Gomez has going for her except Justice actually looks like a woman whereas Gomez still looks like she could do Welch's grape juice commercials. Obviously, at 19, Justice is, to quote that great wordsmith Britney Spears, not a girl but not yet a woman, which is to say she still has some growing to do. That means, much like Spears and Gomez, with the right amount of maturation and separation from the syrupy sweetness of her Mouse ears persona, Justice could put a stranglehold on the upper echelon of this list for years to come. Until she's got all the Tori Vega stuff out of her system, it's hard for someone like me to grade her hotness without feeling really creepy. As of right now, she's a cute girl with a nice smile who has a chance at owning Hollywood before she's able to buy her third Rum and Coke.

49. Kate Mara ("Shooter" "127 Hours"). In what has become a theme amongst this list, I did some last minute re-arranging to avoid having back-to-back Mouseketeers on the list(you'll see who I'm talking about soon, as if you couldn't already guess). Instead, we opted for football royalty. Kate Mara is the great-granddaughter of Timothy Mara(owner of Gabe's New York Giants) and Art Rooney(owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers), arguably the two most vital families in the NFL. She's also an actress, albeit not a very famous one. You may have seen her in Mark Wahlberg's "Shooter". Maybe you caught her cameo in "Iron Man 2". Perhaps you saw her in "127 Hours. She's adorable, even if she does kind of have an elfin look to her face. There aren't any high profile roles or movies in the works for Mara, so you'll have to settle for the occasional singing of the National Anthem that Kate does for Giants games. Maybe she could be lower on the list, but there's something sexy about a pretty girl who is the spawn of the two families that represent much of the history of America's greatest sport.




48. Leighton Meester ("Gossip Girl", "The Roommate") For many of you, Leighton Meester is either "that girl from Gossip Girl" or the psycho bitch from the Single White Female knockoff, "The Roommate". For me, what solidified Meester's standing on this list happened back in 2004, when Meester played a virgin pop star named Justine Chapin on the show "Entourage" and promised to give Vinny Chase "the best head he ever had". There was just something ridiculously sexy about how she delivered those lines. Since then, Leighton's been on a tear. She's did a slew of TV cameos("24", "House", the obligatory "Law & Order" spot, "7th Heaven", etc.) before she landed on every metrosexual's favorite show, "Gossip Girl". In between that, she's done a few movies. "Country Strong", which I avoided at all costs. "Monte Carlo"? Likewise. The aforementioned "The Roommate" and this year's latest Adam Sandler disaster, "That's My Boy". She's come a long way from offering to blow Adrian Grenier and, while her career hasn't didn't take the same tawdry turn that lead fellow "Gossip" cast mate Blake Lively to stardom, we're glad that she's prominently in our lives playing roles that aren't cheap Britney Spears imitations.



47. Erin Andrews (ESPN personality....for now) She's a nose job away from being an annual Top 3 candidate. Yes, Erin Andrews has nearly everything you want in woman: amazing body, beautiful smile, immense sports knowledge, nice hair.......with that said, there's a reason she's referred to by my wife as Erin Toucan Samdrews. That beak is like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Andrews has her share of haters: misogynistic guys who hate female sideline reporters taking up air time, petty girls who think she's only popular because she's pretty(which is true, but you can make that case by a number of guys as well), even more petty girls who think the whole "peephole video" debacle was a ploy to make her famous(possible, but very unlikely. I imagine if Erin Andrews wanted to use her naked body to build her portfolio, she'd do something better than a grainy hotel room video saturated with computer viruses). There are rumors going out that Andrews' time is nearing an end at the Worldwide Leader, that she's embittered by the fact she wasn't chosen to replace the now-departed Michelle Beadle on "SportsNation" and that she's become increasingly frustrated with the company's lack of movement on extending her contract that ends this year. Whatever. Andrews doesn't need ESPN as much as they need her. With Beadle gone, the only female personality Bristol has is their former sideline princess(Don't try to sell me on Sage Steele, because I'm passing on that one). Andrews has the respect of her peers(well, most of them) as well as athletes and coaches. She'll find work anywhere, so those clamoring for the end of her ESPN career can hold the hate. She may not be perfect(as her nose well knows) but she's the best thing to hit sidelines perhaps in TV history. She's still the hottest woman in sports and that crown isn't getting tarnished anytime soon.



46. Amanda Seyfried ("Mamma Mia" "Chloe") In 2004, nobody was checking for Amanda Seyfried because she was too busy playing the ditsy blond in "Mean Girls" and getting overshadowed by the likes of Lindsey Lohan, Rachel McAdams and a suddenly-resurgent Lacey Chabert. She's probably got your attention now. After a few runs on TV("Veronica Mars" and "Wildfire"), Seyfried stepped up to the big time with the hugely popular "Mamma Mia", a musical based on annoyingly-catchy 70's group ABBA. From there, Seyfried dropped the Grease 2.0 act and started sexy-ing it up, first alongside Megan Fox in the terrible "Jennifer's Body" and then a role with far more critical acclaim in "Chloe" with Julianne Moore. "Chloe" is where we finally got to see what Amanda was working with and suddenly we were kicking ourselves for not paying more attention during "Mean Girls". The lesbian scenes with Moore alone make it worth a rental, especially considering your other alternatives are "Jennifer's Body" and "In Time" with Justin Timberlake. Seyfried is moving up the ladder on the way to becoming a big time actress. While her post-Mamma movies have bombed, she's putting the musical hat back on again with the "Les Mis" re-make later this year. She deserves some kudos for winning the race and emerging from the shadows of "Mean Girls" to outlast what was a Dream Team of hot chicks. The dumb bimbo gimmick is finished and instead the world knows her as a sexy blond with a ridiculously amazing body. Now that she's back on the forefront, that point will be driven home repeatedly in the coming years.



45. Chrissy Teigen (SI Swimsuit Model) Normal Hot 100 lists are stacked with models, which is something I've found annoying over the years when I read them. Yes, supermodels earn that distinction because they are among the hottest women in the world and, thus, deserve to be on a list of the hottest women of the world. The problem is not all of them are relevant, which is why you'll only find three on this entire list. Anybody can make the case for Adrianna Lima or Heidi Klum, but when's the last time you had a conversation about either of them? Prior to a couple weeks ago, Chrissy Teigen was a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model who also moonlighted as singer John Legend's girlfriend and one of the funniest people on Twitter. That role has since changed. Over the past couple weeks, Teigen had been embroiled in a Twitter war with delusional Chris Brown fans after the model took a few pointed jabs at Usher's woman-beating clone. In the most ridiculous of Twitter beefs, women tweeted death threats and other thoughts of violence at Teigen.....who was standing up for women.....AGAINST A MAN WHO BEATS WOMEN! I can't help but find irony in women who support a woman beater by threatening harm against a woman who is fighting against those who commit violence against women. The battle has since died down but it is believed Teigen had to block hundreds of Twitter accounts(most of which people who made new accounts just to slander her) in the hopes of finding some kind of social media tranquility. Lost in all that nonsense is that Teigen is one of the hottest entities in the modeling world whose sharp wit makes her significantly much more attractive(unfortunately, it also makes her a magnet for Twitter hate. Hey, you can't win 'em all.). Prior to her battle with "Team Breezy", Teigen wasn't getting the pub of the other supermodels you'll find on this list. Of course, she has now but, sadly, for all the wrong reasons. Regardless, Chrissy Teigen is as hot as she is funny and that earns her a high mark in my book.



44. Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana", "The Last Song"). She's the leader of the new school. The Queen Bee of a new class of Disney vixens who will dominate television screens, men's mags, and movie theaters as soon as they are old enough to rock bare midriffs and take pics in their undergarments. Brace yourself, folks. Britney Spears Part 2 is upon us. Who would have thought that a shit-kicking, mullet-rocking hillbilly like Billy Ray Cyrus would produce such a hot daughter? She's like the right mix of Spears and Madonna: she has Britney's backwoods determination for sex and sin with Madge's weird-looking manly shoulders. Before crossing the 18 threshold a couple years ago, guys haven't devoted that much time to a girl's teenage years since LeBron James was a high school junior(You could make the Lohan comparison, too, I suppose). Now nearing 20, Cyrus has already started her coming out party into womanhood. The videos and performances have gotten a bit more risque(a la Spears in the late 90's), the roles are a lot less "Hannah Montana" innocent and a little more like Lohan in "Georgia Rule". She's a blossoming woman who knows why she has the eyes of America on her: With her figure, those pouty lips and parents who know their best meal ticket is marketing their daughter's sex appeal, it won't be long before we see Cyrus in Rolling Stones spreads riding bicycles in boy shorts(To this day, still the hottest pictures of Britney Spears ever taken). Sure, she can't really sing or act or dance and movies with titles like this summer's "LOL" make watching her a bit more obnoxious but her attractiveness is undeniable. It's time to face facts. Miley Cyrus is becoming a hot woman and with her fame and fortune, she's not going away anytime soon. So, strap yourself in, prepare for the cavalcade of crappy movies, impromptu marriages, unsurprising pregnancies and the inevitable sex tape with Wilmer Valderrama.



43. Amber Heard ("Alpha Dog" "Never Back Down") She's a hot chick who is now into hot chicks. You can't go wrong with that. Whether Amber Heard wants to keep the debate going on what side of the fence she plays in the grass on is her business and none of my concern, but being lesbian certainly isn't going to hurt her cause. Neither is her propensity for getting naked in movies. "The Rum Diary", "Alpha Dog", "Never Back Down", "The Informers"(Surprisingly, not a documentary on Snow), "The Jones".....the girl loves taking her clothes off. And we can't blame her. She's got the goods. What she doesn't have is someone who can feed her a good script. Perhaps its easy to be comfortable doing nude scenes when you're in movies nobody's watching. I mean, people stopped watching Nic Cage movies a long time ago, so I'm sure Amber Heard felt safe in "Drive Angry". She was in the TV show "The Playboy Club" but that lasted only slightly longer than her role in "Friday Night Lights"(the movie, not the show). She's due up next year to be part of a hot cast of ladies in "Machete Kills", so we'll see how that goes. For now, she's a hot woman who now dates women but used to date guys and lets her clothes and preference go wherever the wind blows. I'm more than ok with that.



42. Julianne Hough ("Dancing With The Stars", "Footloose") At first, she was just the hot chick who kept helping celebrities win "Dancing With The Stars" until Cheryl Burke snatched that crown from her. Then, she became a country singer, which I'm willing to forgive. Now, she's in movies. I can't say I watched her in the "Footloose" remake because I was never even compelled to watch the original, but she heated up the movie trailer enough to make me briefly consider a DVD rental. Before "Footloose" was "Burlesque", a pseudo-musical known more for being Christina Aguilera's comeback swan song. Next up is the 80's rock homage, "Rock of Ages", which I'm sure I'll be suckered into going to see given my wife's hardcore love affair with bad 80's music(Meaningless fact that's semi-related: Julianne's middle name is the same as my wife's government first name and their birthdays are a week apart, albeit a couple years separated. What? I needed something to fill space for a woman who's only done a handful of movies). If Shakira has taught us anything, however, is there's no denying the sexiness of woman who knows how to move her hips. Regardless of how you felt about the updated take on the Kevin Bacon classic, Hough did her part in being a much hotter alternative to Lori Singer. Hough also has the benefit of having the prettiest blue eyes this side of Frank Sinatra and that, combined with her blond hair, makes her Hitler's dream wife. I know, not exactly a ringing endorsement....moving on. Hough has a few non-dancing/non-singing roles coming up next year so we get to see if she can actually act outside of her element. Even if she can't, we know one thing: She sure knows how to steam up a trailer.



41. Yvonne Strohovski ("Chuck"). If there was a Hot Chick fantasy draft, this would be Gabe's #1 pick(even over Jennifer Lopez, which has to upset the Puerto Rican side of him). Every few years, we get a new sexy, leggy bombshell who comes in and takes the mantle as a pin-up princess for nerds and video game horndogs everywhere who like women with a soft spot for geeks and penchant for kicking ass. Before Yvonne's run as Sarah Walker, that title went to Kristanna Loken, she of the "Bloodrayne" and "Terminator 3" fame. After Loken faded out, Strohovski stole the scene as the sexiest spy on television(Need further proof of the geek world's love for Yvonne? She was ranked 24th on Wizard Magazine's list of the Hottest Women on TV in 2008). Combine that with her voice work on the last two Mass Effect games and she's responsible for more dweebs popping a boner in their skinny jeans than a Star Wars marathon(Note: With "Chuck" over and done with, the nerd queen crown is now firmly in the grasp of Kaley Cuoco.). There isn't much on tap for Strohovski, post-Chuck, which means there's a possibility she joins Loken on the "once upon a time" list. Hopefully, that's not the case. The world needs more tall, smoking hot Aussie chicks able to grab the eye of nerds and real men alike. Besides, if she wanders off into the sunset, Gabe will have to change his draft strategy for the fictitious Hot Chick fantasy league for the first time in half a decade(Fingers crossed, J.Lo!).

The BoomRoasted Hot 100* (60-51)

You know the drill by now. Here's the links to the last 40 picks:

100-91
90-81
80-71
70-61

And the countdown continues....

60. Jessica Pare("Hot Tub Time Machine", "Mad Men") For the last two years, Jessica Pare has started to make her case for creeping onto this list. After spots in movies like "Lost and Delirious" and "Wicker Park", she turned heads in "Hot Tub Time Machine" as Tara, the topless girl in the bathtub with Craig Robinson. From there, she nabbed a role on the wildly popular AMC show, "Mad Men", as Megan Draper. Sure, Jess doesn't have the pretty face of a Rachel McAdams or Charlize Theoron(who are below her on the list), but she makes up for it with an excellent pair of breasts(which can be seen in all their glory in the aforementioned bathtub scene). Those world-class boobs are going to have to be Pare's meal ticket because, if there's a common theme with all of Pare's work, it's that she's not much of an actress. I know it sounds like I'm dogging her but it says something when you make showing emotion in a bathtub sex scene seem difficult. Regardless, she's here and she's hot. Her stint on "Mad Men" could launch her career or she can become another in a long line of busty babes who fall by the waist side and end up doing softcore porn on Cinemax at 3 A.M. (Here's lookin' at you, Amber Smith!).

59. Brittany Snow("John Tucker Must Die", "Hairspray"). Maybe it's that she looks like she has a little bit of "crazy bitch" in her that makes me so wildly attracted to Brittany Snow. I mean, obviously, the pretty face and the nice body is a good enough resume to get her on the list, but did you see her cameo on Law & Order: SVU? That's a girl with some freak in her. That wasn't always the case though. Brittany first grabbed our attention on the short-lived NBC show "American Dreams", where she showed off that cute smile and singing chops(Of course, if you're a soap opera buff, you probably know about Snow's run on "Guiding Light" before she was on "American Dreams". Thankfully, I'm no soap opera buff.). From there, she had a run on "Nip/Tuck", then came the SVU episode I mentioned earlier, then it was back to more singing and dancing in "Hairspray", which featured John Travolta in drag(see, we should have seen the signs earlier with Johnny)! After a couple shots at horror movies, she's back on NBC television looking 20x hotter standing next to Kathy Bates on "Harry's Law". The fact that she sings and acts will keep her around awhile, as will the fact that she's hot. To get higher on this list though, I want to see her get more in tune with her inner crazy bitch and go Black Swan on some people. That's just me though.

58. Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"). Not that being in your early 30's is a death sentence, as Gabe can attest, but it kind of shocked me that Kristen Bell is almost 32. You forget that she's been around for years, most notably on "Veronica Mars" for three seasons starting in 2004. That show gave us a glimpse of the kind of hot chick we were dealing with. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", however, drove that point home. How hot was Bell in that movie, right? When you're in a two-piece bathing suit for a majority of a two hour movie with Mila Kunis, and you're holding your own, you've done something noteworthy. Since "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", Bell's been all over the place. She did some voice work for the Assassin's Creed games. She played the Sarah Marshall role again in "Get Him To The Greek". She made a few more shitty movies like "When In Rome" and "Scream 4", and she did some TV work on shows like "Unsupervised", "Gossip Girl" and "House of Lies". She's in the prime of her career, even if that prime comes at a much older age than I would've initially thought. Regardless, we'll be seeing a lot of Bell in the near future.

57. Paulina Gretzky(Daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky). The latest in the frustratingly annoying trend of women famous for no reason is Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky. Paulina is technically an "actress", having done a couple movies like "Fame" but she's an actress in the sense that Shaq is a rapper. Just because you have the opportunity to do something doesn't mean you're part of that world. I write a blog. That doesn't mean I'm Tony Kornheiser. More realistically, Paulina is a hot chick with famous bloodlines. After she spent her teenage years lashing out at her father by tweeting sexy pics of herself, "The Great One" decided to shut down her Twitter account. Now, she's slutting it up on Instagram. Look, I'm not going to object to a brutally hot woman showing skin on the internet but, as Paulina will learn from Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, when all you do to market yourself is take pictures with your friends hoe-ing it up at parties, then the general perception of you will be: You're a hoe. We all know the phrase "If you got it, flaunt it" and Paulina takes that as her motto but there is such a thing as oversaturation. We all use to love looking at Kim Kardashian's rump......then it was everywhere, and now we're sick of the bitch. Every girl goes through that rebellious phase where they want to make their fathers cringe by letting random dudes do jello shots off their cleavage. However, with Paulina having not even a speck of the talent her father had, it seems clear her flame will be blown out quickly. There's the inevitable sex tape or leaked nude photos or the eventual Playboy spread but, sooner rather than later, we'll all get sick of looking at Paulina Gretzky. Thankfully, that isn't the case right now.


56. Heather Graham("The Hangover", "Boogie Nights") The good news: She's responsible for some of the most memorable sex scenes and sexiest roles in recent history. Her romps with Joesph Fiennes in "Killing Me Softly"? All-time classics. Her scene with Robert Downey Jr. in "Two Girls And A Guy"? Vastly underrated. Her role as Rollergirl in "Boogie Nights"? Unforgettable. The bad news: those roles were almost two decades ago. We've become so used to seeing Heather Graham naked now that it doesn't even affect us. Her brief topless scene in the first Hangover film? Most people missed it, others just shrugged. Don't get me wrong. Heather Graham is still hot and her naked body is still something to see but it's gotten stale. Much like Angelina Jolie, when you're just randomly naked in every movie, people get tired of seeing it. There was a time where I could watch Heather Graham having sex all day long, but that time has passed. Like a lot of women later down this list, Heather Graham is still an immensely attractive woman who is past her prime. "Killing Me Softly" was 10 years ago. "Boogie Nights" was 15. We've moved on. When girls like Kate Upton are heating up the Internet at 19, there isn't much love left for 42-year old Heather Graham. Look, we're glad she's still hot and if there was a sex scene Hall of Fame, Heather Graham would be a first-ballot entrant but, at this point, being 56th on the Hot 100 when you haven't made a movie of note in years is more of a respect call. Be happy with that.

55. Zoe Saldana("Star Trek" "Columbiana"). She's Jada Pinkett 2.0. An upgraded version of a 90's classic, this time with a little Domincan flavor. Zoe Saldana has made a name for herself by setting screens on fire in a couple big-time movies. She revamped the classic Nichelle Nichols role of Uhura in the "Star Trek" movie. She got her Lara Croft on in the action flick "Columbiana", and she even made CGI look sexy in James Cameron's cash cow "Avatar". In between those roles, she strutted her sexy self in a few less grossing movies such as "The Losers" and "Takers", establishing herself as the siren in the middle of casts that were mostly sausage fests. Saldana has the look, the body, the charm and the chops to be a star and the fact that she played a gun-toting bad ass so superbly in "Columbiana" was definitely a turn on for guys who like their women to be female Rambos. Zoe will be putting more polish on that bad chick resume with her role in the Machete sequel, "Machete Kills", next year. It's a long way from "Set It Off", but it will do.





54. Kellie Pickler("American Idol" runner-up, country music singer). If you know me, you know that I strongly detest country music: the stupid twang, the constant harping about tractors and bad relationships and whiskey and just the overall annoyance of its fan base. You also know that I'm a fan of women with, for lack of a better term, real boobs as opposed to surgically enhanced. With that said, Kellie Pickler's decision to get her frame doctored was the first step on a long road to gaining my respect. Now, I couldn't tell you one of Pickler's songs. Personally, if I wanted to hear about young girls bitch about cheating boyfriends, I'd just log on to Twitter. However, when Pickler re-emerged onto the scene with her two red Solo cups a bit more full, she definitely grabbed my eye. In a country music world where everyone swoons over Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift like they are the second coming of Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy, Pickler has gone overlooked. Shame on you, hayseeds! Pickler has the goods, even if they are store-bought. And who cares if the only time I'd get to glance at her is the 2 seconds in between me channel surfing past CMT? It will be the most entertaining two seconds that channel has ever brought anyone that isn't into Jim Beam and shotgun weddings. Maybe Diddy will sign her and she can re-form Danity Kane. 'Til then, she's just a pretty face on the wrong side of the picket fence.




53. Katrina Bowden("Piranha 3DD", "30 Rock", "Sex Drive"). There are always going to be women who get the "Who?" reaction when you mention their name before it's met with a "Ohhh....." after you elaborate. Katrina Bowden is one of those women. She was in the Piranha sequel that almost nobody saw. She's on "30 Rock" and she had a role in "Sex Drive"(another movie barely seen by the American public because it was yet another tired "Road Trip" knockoff). If you're like me, you went 0-for-3 on those three roles and only noticed Katrina when she blazed Maxim last year. Here's all you really need to know about Katrina Bowden: She's young. She's hot, and she's from Jersey. That's enough for me. With some more acting work, Katrina will rise up this list. She has all the tools. She's like a poor man's Sara Underwood. That's pretty good company to be in.




52. Eva Mendes("Training Day" "We Own The Night") On her tombstone, it will read: Here Lies Eva Mendes.....She Made Shitty Movies Watchable. Case and point? "Stuck On You", easily the worst movie I've ever seen.....except for the few moments an in-her-prime Mendes steals the show. Need more proof? How about "Hitch"? Or "Ghost Rider"? Or "We Own The Night"? Or "The Spirit"? I could, literally, name about ten more films but I think you get the point. Outside of "Training Day", where Eva has a "blink and you miss it" nude scene, Mendes has been in more turds than sweet corn. We still haven't seen her in a decent movie since she was bagging up money for Denzel. Nevertheless, a hot chick in a terrible movie is still a hot chick in a movie and, after a brief rehab stint, Mendes is back in full force. More power to her, because the $5 dump bin at Walmart could use a few more DVDs with her beautiful face on the cover.

51. Kelly Brook(Model/Actress "Piranha"). It's hard to call Kelly Brook an actress when her only notable work was a worthless "Jaws" bite-off that nobody really cared about. It's not hard, however, to call her one of the hottest women on the planet. Truth be told, Brook is more model than actress. Back in her native England, she is what Brooklyn Decker is here. With her spread in Playboy a couple years ago though, America was quick to adopt another sexy import from across the pond. Beyond "Piranha", there isn't much guys can do to see Kelly in action unless they own some old "Smallville" DVDs or feel inclined to spend their day on Google images(I'd prefer the latter over the former). She's one of the planet's rarest beauties and that makes up for the fact that she doesn't have the acting skills of Sandra Bullock. She's gorgeous, her body is ridiculous and she's becoming more relevant in the U.S. What more do you need?

The BoomRoasted Hot 100* (70-61)

We've written nearly 500 blogs on this very website and none have seem to consistently spark as much debate as this list of 100 hot chicks.......and these debates are coming from women! After numerous complaints from the ladies that Natalie Portman should've been higher, yesterday was littered with feedback over whether Kathleen Robertson deserved to be on the list. I knew putting together a list of hot women was going to be fun, but I never thought it would be this entertaining.

Anyway, the usual linkage for those who need to keep up:

80-71
90-81
100-91

...and away we go with picks 70 to 61.....

70. Alison Brie ("Mad Men" "Community"). Before she got our attention as Annie Edison on the occasionally-funny NBC hit "Community", Alison Brie was a part of a stable of hotness that comprised the cast of AMC's "Mad Men". With both shows in the limelight full force, that means more Brie spread around for everybody. Now, Brie is more cute than hot but she also answers the long-wondered question: What would Sarah Michelle Gellar look like if she didn't have that weird nose? Brie has a pretty face to go along with a sick body and she gets extra kudos for managing to stand out on two shows with some serious competition(Gillian Jacobs on "Community", Christina Hendricks and placenta eater January Jones on "Mad Men"). "Mad Men" may be nearing its conclusion and "Community" seems destined to have its plug pulled in the near future, so hopefully more roles like the one Brie had in "Five Year Engagement" are in the works to keep Brie from fading away.

69. Catrinel Menghia (Model). When I was in a rut trying to find names for this list, I tweeted my friend Andre for some suggestions. He responded back with Catrinel Menghia. Who? Exactly. Since Andre is a more worldly soul than I am, I had to do some research. The verdict? Clearly hot enough to make this list but also not relevant enough to make this write-up much longer than a few sentences. Her Wikipedia page is shorter than a Oscar winner's speech. From what I've gathered from extensive Googling, she's a Romanian model who has done some shoots with Maxim and FHM and was also in the SI Swimsuit Edition back in 2006. She's done ads for Fiat and Georgio Armani and has been the face of a French lingerie company named Lise Charmel since '05. So, there's that. Beyond all that, she's a hot chick who comes recommended from a guy who knows hot chicks. In fact, Menghia joins a few others in this group of ten who were, shall I say, "reader picks" that I grouped together for the sake of making a theme.

68. Dania Ramirez ("X-Men: The Last Stand", "Heroes", "The Sopranos"). Dania Ramirez got her start in Jay-Z's video for "Streets Is Watching", but didn't really register any buzz until she played Callisto in the final X-Men movie. From there, she had a short run on the final season of "The Sopranos" as Blanca, A.J.'s girlfriend who inevitably sends him spiraling into an almost-suicidal bout of depression. Once Sopranos faded to black, Ramirez signed on to appear on the more-popular-than-it-should-have-been NBC show "Heroes". Once "Heroes" got cancelled, it was off to "Entourage" for that show's final year. The moral of this history lesson? Dania Ramirez is a hot chick who is also television napalm. In every one of those shows, she brought a brand of Latin sexiness we haven't seen since the prime of Jennifer Lopez but, much like J.Lo's career, her time was limited as she never lasted past half a season to really make a name for herself. Still, her three halves of work is enough to get her on this list and, if need be, I have a list of shows Ramirez can audition for in hopes that she sinks them like the Titanic. How do you feel about joining the cast of "Glee", Dania?

67.  Julie Bowen("Modern Family"). Julie Bowen's most notable role of her career came in the last few years with the meteoric rise of the Fox show "Modern Family" but Bowen's been around for a while. She was Adam Sandler's love interest in "Happy Gilmore" back in '96 and then forayed into some television spots from "ER" to "Ed" to "Lost" to her still-memorable-to-me stint on "Weeds" to "Boston Legal" and now "Modern Family", a hugely popular show that will be around for a while. She was Kevin Spacey's hot adulterating wife in "Horrible Bosses". Most importantly, she's beautiful, a common theme in all those roles. Bowen's longevity is seldom seen these days as hot actresses tend to come and go but it's great to have her back, even if it is on a PG-rated comedy.



66. Candace Bailey ("Attack of the Show"). Ever since "Entourage" closed for good, there hasn't been a show that I have made it a point to watch religiously. That is, until now. I stumbled upon Candace Bailey while following fellow AOTS cast member Sara Underwood. From there, I decided to give Bailey's show a gander to see what the fuss is about. After all, a show on a network mostly dedicated to video games that has Bailey and Underwood as a 1-2 punch? How does that not pique your interest? The show isn't a masterpiece but it is entertaining and Bailey proves to not only be easy on the eyes but actually pretty funny, too. Beauty? Check. Sense of humor? Check. Likes video games? Check. Same age? Check. Oh, if I wasn't already married, Candace Bailey....Candace was also on the failed Skeet Ulrich show "Jericho" and made a couple cameos on "Ghost Whisperer" and the first season of "The Sopranos" but what's important is you give her a look on "Attack of the Show" because that huge smile and kickin' body make it all worth it.



65. Kim Kardashian ("Keeping Up With The Kardashians"). Responses to Kim K's name from the panel went like this: "She's hot!", "I guess you have to put her in there.", "I suppose she's still relevant".....those weren't exactly ringing endorsements, short of the first response. Yes, Kim Kardashian deserves to be on this list even if she does have as much talent as I have in my right pinky finger. Yes, her claims to fame were the fact that she was a rich friend of another girl famous for being famous, Paris Hilton, as well as getting the meat root on camera from Brandy's little brother. Since being "the chick in the Ray J sex video", she went on to more public disasters which include a few hard-to-watch reality shows, a failed attempt at a singing career and the much-publicized, heavily-sponsored televised wedding to the fourth-best player on one of the five worst teams in the NBA. Her marriage to Nets forward Kris Humphries lasted about half the length of an NBA season but it established two things: it kept Kim K's name relevant and turned Humphries to the most hated man in a league that includes an alleged rapist(Kobe), a man who ran into the stands to beat up a fan who threw beer at him(Metta World Artest) and a guy who spurned his home town fans in front of a national audience on basic cable(LeBron James). Now, THAT'S some power. She possesses the most famous ass in Hollywood and that's only half of what is an amazing body. Yes, she's annoying as shit. Yes, she's talentless and perhaps even a whore but she's hot and she's relevant and, in a few years when the reality TV show well dries up and athletes are tired of nailing her, we'll look back at this moment as the beginning of the end for Kim Kardashian.

64. Emmy Rossum("Shameless" "Mystic River") She was the squaky-clean love interest in "Phantom of the Opera" and "Day After Tomorrow". Now, Emmy Rossum is naked through much of the Showtime show "Shameless". Hooray for women who grow up on camera!(If only Danielle Fishel followed this path.....Damn you, Topenga!). Rossum's days as the innocent little cutie pie are over. Now, she's a hot tour de force. I couldn't possibly tell you about her role on "Shameless" because I've never seen the show, but I do know there's enough naked Rossum scenes to encourage you to check the show out. We've always hoped this day would come. After all, Emmy Rossum has always been one of Hollywood's rare beauties: the complexion, the huge smile, the nice body, the bubbly personality. She has everything you want in a rising young starlet. Now, she's having sex on premium cable for the world to see. Thank God for the miracle of television!

63. Charlize Theron("Hancock" "Reindeer Games"). It's been a long time since the name Charlize Theron was on the tips of every man's tongue. About a decade ago, Theron straddled Hollywood like a collossus with movies like "Reindeer Games", "Monster", "Cidar House Blues", "The Italian Job".....then she kind of disappeared. It wasn't until "Hancock" in 2008 that we started thinking about her again and even that was four years ago. Now, with last year's "Young Adult" and this year's much-anticipated "Prometheus", Charlize is back. The game has passed her by a little bit as the new breed has taken over her old spot but she's not exactly old goods. In the trailers for "Prometheus", Theron proved she can still light up a movie screen and the same can be said about her role as the evil queen Ravenna in "Snow White and the Huntsman", also due out this year. Theron's 2012 might be the female hotness equivalent of Kurt Warner's comeback with the Cardinals. Time will tell. All we know is Charlize is back and she's planning on staying for a while this time.


62. Rachel McAdams("The Vow", "Wedding Crashers"). She's the answer to the question: "What would Jennifer Garner look like if her face didn't look so weird when she smiled?". Rachel McAdams' pretty face and glorious grin have been her calling card in movies like "Wedding Crashers", "The Vow", "The Notebook" and a slew of other sappy flicks you'll find in the DVD case of a single girl in her mid-20's. However, if you were one of the fifteen people who watched the Harrison Ford/Diane Keaton dreck "Morning Glory", you might have found out something else about Ms. McAdams. She has quite the dumper! Sure, her booty isn't on the Kim Kardashian/Jennifer Lopez level but it's solid for a girl barely bigger than an Olsen twin. It was tough putting someone who can be more commonly described as "cute" on a list called the Hot 100 but McAdams has had roles where she toes the line of hotness. She was rather sultry in the Sherlock Holmes movies and she held her own on the set of "Mean Girls" with a pre-crack/in-her-prime Lindsey Lohan and a blossoming Amanda Seyfried. So, sure, McAdams isn't "hot" but she's not far from it and she's active enough to be relevant. She's an A-level actress with a B-level rump. That's enough heat for me.



61. Nicky Whelan("Hall Pass") It took Gabe almost a week to make a contribution to the Hot 100 but, when he finally came out of the dugout, he hit a pinch-hit grand slam. 20 names into the list, Gabe finally offered his input and casually threw out two names: Yvonne Strahovski(who was already on the list and you'll find later on down the road) and Whelan. Unless you're reading us from Down Under and are familiar with Whelan's work on the Aussie TV show "Neighbours", then you'll probably only know Nicky from her topless scene with Owen Wilson in "Hall Pass". Gabe's reference of that scene convinced me to do further digging and, after further review, I've been kicking myself pretty hard for not originally knowing about her. What can I say? I'm not a movie buff. Whelan's hot enough to be much higher on the list but it was hard to justify moving her too far up based off of one movie(even if it was a damn good scene featuring a world-class rack). On first glance, she looks like Naomi Watts with a much better body. If she can maintain the momentum from "Hall Pass", she has a good shot at moving up the board steadily in years to come. For now, she's a vastly underrated #61.
