10. Chace Crawford
Texas-born Chace Crawford’s career has taken off since his start as rich-kid Nate Archibald on the popular television show Gossip Girl. At the beginning of his run on the show the star was confused with look-alike and fellow teen heartthrob Zac Efron. The part that Efron was rumored to play in the upcoming remake of Footloose has gone to Crawford. The film, directed by High School Musical mogul Kenny Ortega, is in the pre-production phase and reportedly will be released in June 2010.
9. Katy Perry
Her best-selling pop record One of the Boys placed Katy Perry on the charts after the song “I Kissed a Girl” was released in May 2008. In February 2009, the Grammy nominee was in the top spot with the most gold and platinum titles from the Recording Industry Association of America. “I Kissed a Girl” and Perry’s other hit, “Hot N Cold,” both reached triple platinum status having sold more than seven million units total. The singer’s eccentric style has gotten almost as much press as her songs.
8. Robert Pattinson
Pattinson, tied for seventh place with fellow vampire Anna Paquin of True Blood, has created a teenage heartthrob empire since the release of Twilight in November 2008. The film, whose opening box office earnings were $70 million, played in theaters for over four months. Pattinson has been featured on several magazine covers, including the April 2009 cover of GQ magazine, and is slated to have lead roles in three upcoming films, including the sequel to Twilight in theaters this November.
7. Anna Paquin
Paquin is back, playing the lead role in HBO’s True Blood, proving once again that vampires sell. The cable program’s opening broadcast totaled 2.1 million viewers in September 2008. Because of her new role, however, Paquin did not return to her role as Rogue in the cast of the X-Men franchise, which released its fourth film this spring.
6. Anna Faris
Funny girl Anna Faris was The House Bunny in last summer’s hit comedy. The actress gained fame in the Scary Movie franchise early in the decade and has played a myriad of characters since then, showcasing her versatility. But the comic seems most comfortable making audiences laugh: she will reportedly be returning to her roots in 2011′s Scary Movie 5.
5. Chris Pine
Chris Pine heated up the silver screen in this spring’s remake of Star Trek. The actor, who had landed roles in less lucrative, recent films, played James T. Kirk–the character made famous by William Shatner in the original television series–in this year’s movie. The film grossed $75 million opening weekend, just short of opening weekend box office sales of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
4. Shenae Grimes
The ginger-haired actress was first seen on the Canadian television program Degrassi: The Next Generation in 2004. She then took the lead role in 90210, a modern spin-off of ’90s drama Beverly Hills, 90210. Grimes’ controversial battles with weight have increased her tabloid visibility, but have not affected her work. The rising star appeared on the cover of Teen Prom magazine this spring.
3. Jon and Kate
Jon and Kate Gosselin, the parents of eight children–sextuplets and twins–became a reality TV sensation after television channel Discovery Health filmed a few specials about the super-sized family. TLC then picked up Jon & Kate Plus 8 for its third season. But the family has gained more infamy than fame with recent allegations of Jon’s affair with an elementary school teacher.
2. Freida Pinto
Mumbai native Freida Pinto made her big-screen debut in last year’s Slumdog Millionaire. In the 2009 Oscar Best Picture winner, Pinto played the lifelong friend, and ultimately lover, of the protagonist played by Dev Patel. The actress is now in the pre-production stage of three films, including an untitled project with Woody Allen.
1. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s debut album The Fame sold over one million copies in the U.S. and hit No. 1 in five countries. The newly illustrious star has lived up to her offbeat name with bright and often sparkly fashion statements on and off the stage. “Poker Face,” Gaga’s second No. 1 Billboard chart topper, is an international dance club favorite.
