Kristen Bell Sexy Girl Next Door


With her role on Heroes, Kristen Bell -- alongside Hayden Panettiere and Ali Larter -- successfully infused a geek-oriented program with unexpected jolts of sensuality (until her character was killed off). She undeniably possesses the kind of looks one generally associates with a fashion model, yet she can also come off as an approachable, girl-next-door sort. It’s a dichotomy that served her well when it came time to play a vixen in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, as she managed to ingratiate herself with audiences despite the fact that her character so heartlessly (and memorably) broke up with Jason Segel’s hapless Peter Bretter. And with a number of promising projects on the horizon for 2009 -- including a starring role in the Jon Favreau-penned romantic comedy Couples Retreat -- Kristen Bell’s star will only continue to rise in the months ahead.


Biography


Kristen Anne Bell was born near Detroit, Michigan, on July 18, 1980. Like her former character Veronica Mars, Kristen Bell knows what it's like to come from a broken home: Her parents split when she was just two years old.

Her mother started checking out modeling agencies after several people said her daughter would look great in pictures. Before her 13th birthday, Kristen Bell had an agent and began to appear in newspaper advertisements for several Detroit retailers, including Kmart. In little time, these snowballed into TV commercials and private acting lessons.

Before she graduated from a Catholic high school near the Motor City, she sang as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. After graduation, Kristen Bell headed to the Big Apple to attend the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Just three years later, in 2001, she made her Broadway debut as Becky Thatcher in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. In 2002, she appeared on Broadway in The Crucible, opposite Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.

Kristen Bell took her act to Los Angeles and scored a few guest-starring roles, appearing on Everwood, American Dreams and The Shield in 2003. In 2004, she was in the cable film Gracie's Choice, playing a girl forced to help raise her sickly siblings while her mother tries to overcome a drug addiction. That same year, Kristen Bell played the president's kidnapped daughter in director David Mamet's thriller Spartan.

Kristen Bell is veronica mars

Then, Veronica Mars came along with the role that thrust Kristen Bell into stardom. Veronica was a 17-year-old high school student who went from "in crowd" to outcast almost overnight. The show ran from September 2004 to May 2007.

In 2005, Kristen Bell was cast as Mary in the Showtime version of Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical, a role she had already played onstage. That same year, she also appeared in the big-screen hits Deepwater and The Receipt.

2006 was an equally busy year for Kristen Bell, as she added the flicks Roman, Pulse and Fifty Pills to her resume.

Kristen Bell is named no. 59 in 2008 top 99


Kristen Bell's TV stints filled 2007. She became the narrator on the hit show Gossip Girl and she also landed the role of Elle Bishop on the wildly popular TV drama Heroes. You might think that the flame that is Hayden Panettiere would outshine all who stand next to her, but Kristen added her own touch that acted as a beacon for red-blooded men the world over. As if her relatively small but crucial role on the ensemble show Heroes wasn't enough, 2008 also saw Kristen complete work on the Star Wars-driven Fanboys and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a romantic comedy.

Kristen Bell in serious moonlight


Although Kristen Bell's Elle Bishop has been killed off on the Heroes series, her plate was still very full. In 2009, she starred in the comedy Serious Moonlight with Meg Ryan. Her upcoming roles in the dramatic romantic comedy When in Rome with Will Arnett and Josh Duhamel, and the comedy Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman will no doubt solidify Kristen's position as a serious big screen actress, or at least we think so. Kristen Bell jumped from No. 59 on our 2008 edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women list to No. 9 on our 2009 iteration.

Anna Kournikova Hot Video On the Beach



Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova born 7 June 1981) is a retired Russian professional tennis player and model. Her celebrity status made her one of the best known tennis players worldwide. At the peak of her fame, fans looking for images of Kournikova made her name one of the most common search strings on the Internet search engine Google.

Although also successful in singles, reaching World No. 8 in the world in 2000, Kournikova's specialty has been doubles, where she has at times been the World No. 1 player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002. Kournikova's professional tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems. She currently resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and plays in occasional exhibitions and in doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis.



Aside from single-handedly making women's tennis popular again, Anna Kournikova is one of the most searched people on the internet thanks to her amazing looks. She proves that you don't need to be a star tennis player to be one of the most highly endorsed athletes, nor do you need killer tennis skills to have a deadly internet virus named after you.

Has anyone ever looked better in a tennis outfit (we are so grateful for those short white skirts)? Not likely -- Anna Kournikova is sculpted like a goddess. The tennis court was her stage, where she simultaneously (and successfully) flirted with and stunned thousands of admirers. This Russian pinup had the power of filling up arenas when she was scheduled to play. How many women can be credited with the same feat?


Kournikova's marital status has been an issue on several occasions. There were conflicting rumors about whether she was engaged to ice hockey player Pavel Bure. There were reports that she married NHL ice hockey star Sergei Fedorov in 2001. Kournikova's representatives have denied this, but Fedorov stated in 2003 that the couple had married and since divorced.

Kournikova started dating pop star Enrique Iglesias in late 2001 (she appeared in his video, "Escape"), and rumors that the couple had secretly married circulated in 2003 and again in 2005. Kournikova herself has consistently refused to directly confirm or deny the status of her personal relationships. But in May 2007, Enrique Iglesias was (mistakenly, as he would clarify later) quoted in the New York Sun that he had no intention of marrying Kournikova and settling down because they had split up. The singer would later deny these rumors of "divorce" or simply separation. In June 2008, Iglesias told the Daily Star that he had married Kournikova the previous year and that they are currently separated. Enrique has stated in interviews after that it was simply a joke, and they are still very much together.



Men's magazines like FHM always have included her among the hottest women, and she was named Sexiest Woman in the World in FHM's 100 Sexiest Girls poll in 2002. Her sex appeal has also managed to sell calendars, and the Sports Illustrated issue with Anna Kournikova on the cover was one of the highest-selling issues the magazine has ever published. So it looks like Anna Kournikova's sexiness is unanimous: it doesn't get much hotter than her.

She continued to make appearances in high-profile tournaments and drawing in big crowds, but not as many titles or wins unfortunately. After 2003's Australian Open, she suffered a back injury that led to her withdrawal from that year's Wimbledon games.

In 2001, she had a bit part in the Jim Carrey comedy Me, Myself & Irene as a motel manager, and the following year, she starred opposite Enrique Iglesias in the pop singer's video for "Escape." FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World also made headlines thanks to her relationships with NHL players Pavel Bure and Sergei Fedorov (who she was allegedly married to), and her on-again, off-again romance with Enrique Iglesias.

Also stretching her modeling muscle, Anna Kournikova graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's June 2000 edition, and was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in 2004 and 2005. She also came in at No. 99 in AskMen.com's Top 99 Women of 2006.

In a feature for ELLE magazine's July 2005 issue, Anna Kournikova stated that if she were 100% fit, she would like to come back and compete again. However, in the meantime, we're just fine watching her strut her stuff in magazines and bra ads.

Victoria Pratt Sexy Bikini Photo Shoot




When Victoria Pratt was born on December 18, 1970 in Chesley, Ontario, the residents of the tiny Canadian town had no way of knowing that they had a future Amazon Queen with a blue belt and swift legs in their midst.

Something of a tomboy in her youth, Victoria nurtured her athletic side and became an accomplished runner by the time she entered Toronto's York University one year ahead of the rest of her class. While there she ran on, competing in the Commonwealth Games while consistently making the Dean's list. She graduated summa cum laude with a degree in kinesiology.

She turned down a scholarship for a master's program in physiotherapy to begin working in the university's athletic performance testing facility and co-author a book on fitness. The latter project led her to ask her former professor Robert Kennedy, the publisher of such fitness magazines as Oxygen and MuscleMag, for some pictures of athletes for the book. Instead, the camera was turned on Victoria when Kennedy convinced her to give fitness modeling a try, and then encouraged her to take acting lessons.


If you're some kind of freak who's not turned on by a butt-kicking sci-fi queen on TV, then just check out some of Victoria Pratt's many spreads in men's magazines. You will have no reservations about calling her the hottest babe around.

Her fit body is muscular enough to raise eyebrows, without reminding us of the similarly bulging muscles of greased up dudes in Speedos. Despite the muscles, Victoria is all woman.



Before starting her acting career, Victoria Pratt made a notable mark in the fitness world as an athlete performance tester (she worked with the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks, among others) and author. In 1998, she got her first television role on the Discovery Channel series Go For It, about non-traditional sports, and then her first acting role in John Woo's Once a Thief. She made her film debut that same year, in Legacy, co-starring David Hasselhoff.

Before she knew it, she was appearing in such sci-fi series as Xena: Warrior Princess, Cleopatra 2525, First Wave, and she's now starring in Mutant X. In addition to her acting roles, she has also posed for many fitness magazines like Oxygen and Health & Fitness, both on the cover and inside the glossy pages.
