Stars like Beyonce, Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel and Gwen Stefani, are among the best dressed stars of 2007.
The 10 Best Dressed Stars of 2007:
Beyoncé Knowles – The Showstopper Cameron Diaz – The Legs Katie Holmes – The Classic Penélope Cruz - The Continental Jessica Biel – The All-American Drew Barrymore – The Chameleon Jennifer Lopez – The Glamour Girl Reese Witherspoon – The Celeb Next Door Gwen Stefani – The Trendsetter Ali Larter – The Newcomer
Ali Larter will be stripping in an upcoming episode of ‘Heroes’ and she’s taking it very serious. Larter prepared for the episode by going to lap-dancing clubs and spending “four hours a day for a whole week up and down a lap-dancer’s pole”.
She says, “I thought, ‘If I’m going to do this I’m going to be the best goddamn stripper the world has ever seen.’ So I really threw myself into it.”
After it all went down, Larter insists she has ‘a new-found respect’ for women in the lap-dancing profession.
Something tells me Ali could trip, fall, and get knocked out by the pole and guys would still think it was hot.

Madonna is currently making her directorial debut on a short film called “Filth and Wisdom” , which is currently being filmed in London. She’s stated that the film will be based on personal experiences.
“While I cannot tell you more about it for now, I am happy to officially reveal its title: Filth And Wisdom. I will finish this in time to go back to the recording studio in July. I hate to be such a tease, but you know how I am.”
Based on the pictures below, she doesn’t look all that happy to me. Maybe it was just a bad day…. a headache maybe.
Lindsay Lohan rules. According to Maxim magazine, at least this month, she’s the hottest woman in the world. The “Georgia Rule” actress-troublemaker tops the magazine’s eighth annual “Hot 100″ list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion. “There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”
Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being “obsessed” with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.
Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She’s followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.
Celebrity sisters Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are on the list at No. 16 and No. 41, respectively. Ashley Olsen, half of the mogul acting twins, placed 37th, while sister Mary-Kate didn’t make the cut.
It’s funny that one of the identical twins is at least 64 spots less hot than the other. And who would have thought we’d see the day when Ashlee Simpson was considered hotter than Jessica Simpson?
Anyway, here’s the Maxim write-up on Lohan:
Tabloid bloodsuckers have been feasting on this Long Island native for three years running, but that’s only because this unbelievably beautiful, untamable Golden Age throwback with a nonstop social calendar and acclaimed acting chops is Ann-Margret, Meryl Streep, and Sophia Loren rolled into one. Moving well beyond kid fodder like Herbie Fully Loaded, she next stars in the highly anticipated film about the murder of John Lennon, Chapter 27. She’s following that up with the freaky thriller I Know Who Killed Me. But if you happen to see Lindsay’s smoky eyes from across some bar in West Hollywood, don’t bother sending over a drink—she’s accomplished all this before her 21st birthday. Wink.
The rest of the Hot 100 is available via Maxim’s site here. Oddly, they’ve chosen to make it as hard to navigate as possible, putting each hottie on a separate page.
Lexie has compiled her list of the “Top 10 List of the Hottest Celeb Babes from the South.”
Eva Longoria- Corpus Christi, Texas
Jessica Simpson- Abilene, Texas
Beyonce Knowles- Houston, Texas
Jennifer Garner- Houston, Texas
Faith Hill- Jackson, Mississippi
Julia Roberts - Smyrna, GA
Carrie Underwood - Muskogee, OK
Brittany Murphy - Atlanta, GA
Nancy O’Dell - Myrtle Beach, SC
Reese Witherspoon - New Orleans, LA
Ali Landry - Breaux Bridge, LA (Honorable Mention)

Not a bad list but I wouldn’t have included a couple of these women and would have ranked them differently. Who the hell is Nancy O’Dell? No way she’s hotter than Ali Landry. I’ve never thought Carrie Underwood was particularly sexy and think Eva Longoria is way overrated. And Reese Witherspoon is hotter than just about everyone else on this list.
The editors at Maxim have waded through the footage and nominated 10 Earth-Shattering Nude Scenes 2006.
10. Diora Baird in Wedding Crashers
It was kind of a “blink and you missed it” moment, but we’re betting there were a lot of dry eyes in the house when Diora flopped down topless on a bed during the “wedding sluts” montage. You remember her, she was the one with assets big enough to satisfy as many Wilson brothers as the movie was willing to throw at her.
9. Ali Larter in Varsity Blues
While not technically nude, Ali and her strategically-placed whipped cream instantly became the stuff of legend and dessert-based fetishes. Of course, leave it to Dawson’s Creek to fumble the play—dude, you’ll never get such a golden opportunity to offer a girl a banana for her split again. Way to go, forehead.
8. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights
Reason #4,562 why hanging out with Burt Reynolds rules: With the wave of a finger, he can make Heather Graham slip out of everything but her rollerskates and mount you on a fine Corinthian leather sofa. That’s class! And Heather’s anything but shy about showing the goods, which is why we love her.
7. Kathy Bates in About Schmidt
Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson buck naked in a Jacuzzi. Now, if this were 1968…actually, it’d still be pretty gross. Yes, we’re kidding. Consider this a palate-cleanser before we move on to #6. We didn’t want you getting all hot and bothered at work. All set? Good. Let’s move on… [Editor’s note: Disgusting. Photo omitted.]
6. Reese Witherspoon in Twilight
OK, this isn’t exactly a comedic romp and, honestly, the only thing notable about this movie is Reese’s topless scene. And the only thing notable about Reese’s topless scene is that, well, this is it, fellas. She’s a Serious Actress™ now, so she won’t be flaunting the sweater puppies ever again. Grab the opportunity while you can.
5. Denise Richards in Wild Things
Neve Campbell can keep her no-nudity clause, because even she couldn’t dampen our appreciation of Wild Things’ champagne-drenched threesome. Richards had no problem getting down and dirty, which is why we’re still talking about her today. Campbell? Not so much. And before you say Wild Things isn’t a comedy, we defy you to watch it without laughing.
4. Rebecca de Mornay in Risky Business
She was way too much woman for a high school kid to handle—especially a high school-aged Tom Cruise—but her full-frontal nude scene made a man out of every guy who was of appropriate age in 1983, and you know who you are. Not to mention Rebecca also made prostitution cool long before Julia Roberts.
3. The Pi Delta Pi Girls in Revenge of the Nerds
Yes, every last one of you. When the nerds get the brilliant idea to hook up surveillance cameras in the Pi sorority house, we’re treated to a parade of naked, perky extras. This one went for quality and quantity, and scored on both counts. And let’s just say Takashi wasn’t the only one who learned what “hair pie” meant.
2. Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The standard against which teen movie nudity is measured. It may not be the most graphic or revealing, but it had all the key elements: A hot young actress you’ve been dying to see topless (erm, Phoebe), a completely gratuitous set-up (Judge Reinhold’s masturbatory day dream), and a hilarious pay-off (she walks in on him mid-jerk). It’s bulletproof, and it’s a classic.
1. Shannon Elizabeth in American Pie
A question for the ladies: If you find yourself in a teenage boy’s bedroom and he happens to leave the room for a second, do you immediately take off all your clothes and admire yourself in his mirror? No? Exactly. That’s why Nadia changed the way we look at movie nude scenes. And that’s why you aren’t Shannon Elizabeth. Well, that and probably some other things, too.
Now, you might have noticed, with the exception of the Ali Larter photo, none of those above actually depict the nude scene in question. Well, it isMaxim, you know.
Gone Hollywood goes above the call, though, and searches out the images in question. They’re thumbnailed below the fold. Merry Christmas.
