Your Hottest Women of 2006

[ClaRK! Kent]

With the year nearly at an end, it's time to look back at the ups, the downs, and the mondo hot women that have graced us from celebrityville over the past 365 days. It's a pretty simple set-up: post your top 10 women of the year and why, discuss, and generally enjoy the skin-feast.

I'll get you started, 'cos I'm nice like that...

10 - Olivia Harriman

Probably not the best picture, but meh. Sugar Rush was generally a really good series, very fun and suchlike, and she played the role really well. Always had something of a thing for redheads, and she's got a very innocent, pretty vibe going on. She was in Torchwood the other day as well and looked really hot in that too, so yay her.

9 - Maria Kanellis

What a find this girl was. She's got something of a different look to the average WWE Diva, which is refreshing, and she happens to be damn hot to say the least. Despite a good few new chicks showing up in 2006, Maria is still the leader of the pack for me by a garden mile. Plus, the character she plays is damned awesome, which helps.

8 - Anne Hathaway

I absolutely hated her in The Princess Diaries, and I'd never really found her that appealing, so when my friends dragged me to see The Devil Wears Prada, I wasn't too excited - I was wrong. Hathaway has come on leaps and bounds, not only in terms of her abilities but she also seems to have grown into herself over the last few years and looks a lot less gawky. 2006's Most Improved.

7 - Ellen Pompeo

A lot of people think she's unattractive, but I honestly think she's the best of the bunch on Grey's Anatomy, way better than Katherine Heigl. Again, she's got a kind of unusual look which I really go for, and she just looks very hot but in a natural, non-airbrushed kind of way. Which is always better. Newcomer of the Year.

6 - Paris Hilton

From one end of the 'natural-airbrushed' spectrum to the other. I have a totally indefensible soft spot for Hilton. I know it's kinda wrong, because she's just trailer trash with money and something of a bimbo... but I can't bring myself to hate her. Maybe it's because she's pretty much a slammin' hottie? I think so. She's not had a bad year, really, and she's always kind of floating halfway up my top 10 list regardless.

5 - Lindsay Lohan

Now here's somebody who's had a terrible year, both career-wise and in her personal life, and really hasn't come out of 2006 with very much as her 'BFF' posse have left her high and dry and she's in rehab apparently. But she's done it whilst looking like a million bucks, so yay for her. My redhead fixation probably biases me slightly on this one, but I have no time for people who don't think she's attractive. She really, kinda, is.

4 - Nicole Scherzinger

The PCDs have had a pretty good year, they've sold mondo albums and had numerous singles that everybody's been playing to death. All of them are smokin' hot, no doubt about it, but amazingly the one who can actually sing is the hottest one, which is pretty damn rare in this sort of group. There's nothing particularly new about her look, nosiree, but she's hot nonetheless.

3 - Eva Green

Possibly the best Bond Girl ever... nah, definitely the best Bond Girl ever. I'd seen her in The Dreamers and figured she was attractive enough, and very talented to boot, but I never figured she'd get the kind of exposure she did with Casino Royale, which has apparently made a lot of people sit up and take notice. She's a real beauty, proof that French women do have a certain je ne sais quoi about them, and she's had a fucking good year.

2 - Zhang Ziyi

By contrast, somebody who's done basically nothing this year, although she did kick her way into people's attention in 2005 with Memoirs of a Geisha. Nevertheless, this young woman... moves me to tears. She really does. Okay, it's probably the borderline-Asian-fetish thing I have going on, but she's just jaw-droppingly beautiful in every way. Definitely a heartbreaker.

1 - Angelina Jolie

An obvious choice, perhaps? Well, fuck it, she does happen to be the most attractive woman walking the face of the Earth. Yeah, so she's a bit nuts, I actually like that in a woman. In fact, Jolie is probably everything I look for in a girl - intelligent (by all accounts she's very smart), funny, talented, crazier than a bag of cats, inked to within an inch of her life, and also a SLAMMIN' hottie. Even the kids don't put me off. Plus, she's way better at the adoption thing than Madonna.

So, yeah, EWB. Post your own, discuss, etc.

I only really agree with Ms. Green and Hathaway. Too bad Green can't take a photo for shit.

[Krazy_K]

ewww Ellen Pompeo.

Have you heard her talk in her real accent?

[figos]

The best bond girl ever? LOL

[ClaRK! Kent]

I'm not really in it for the talking.

But, no, what does she sound like? Where is she even from, for that matter?

She's from New York. Queens, maybe.

Find her Punk'd episode on YouTube and get ready to lose your hearing

Leave him already and stop shoving stuff up your crumbling nose...

I'm A Celebrity gets the gorgeous Myleene Klass back into the public eye. Sexy and a brilliant pianist with a classical music radio show! Wooomph! Classy!

Cos every now and again Neighbours casts someone attractive. Huzzah for Natalie Blair, and even more huzzah now she's out of the habit and back into swimwear! DISCLAIMER: Outfit not actually appearing in Neighbours.

Ooooh Robyn's back! Last seen in the 90s parading Swedish-pop with a strange almost chavish swagger, now she's all electro stylee and my hairdresser-sense is tingling.

[YI]

Do our own? Okay.

1. Natalie Blair - Carmella...OH CARMELLA!! SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO, SO HOT!!!

Yes I stole the pic from CSAMH

2. Keira Knightley - Pirates Of The Carribean...she's just flat out hot...could do with putting on a few pounds though, if she did that she'd literally be perfection. I swear, I'd fucking ruin her.

3. Rachel Blanchard - Snakes On A Plane...never saw it...she's fucking banging though.

4. Sammy Winward - MILF MILF MILF...best thing on 'everyday' TV...even if she's on Emmerdale

The rest...I'm not that picky.

KEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR-WIFF!

[Krazy_K]

CSAMH, this is the Hottest WOMEN of 2006.

Who's that boy in your post?

[EndOfAnEra]

Oh god. Robyn? I heard Konichiwa Bitches when I was in Australia. It's fucking terrible. I just checked her Myspace page, and it sounds like a retarded wannabe hip hop biatch badass playing a Casio. And the fact that her pictures make her look like she's just some random Myspace tool having too much fun in a car with a camera sporting her new, edgy fashion hair. Dammit, sometimes it's just better to stay as a one-hit wonder.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Who's the dead link in yours

Yeah, go me!

I'll agree that Konnichiwa Bitches is an awful song, like Peaches on a bad day, but some of her other stuff is better, when she's not trying to be all 'edgy' musically. And by 'edgy' I mean circa 2001 electroclash...
