10. Shana Hiatt
The highlight of every episode of the World Poker Tour, Shana Hiatt is cute, sexy and charming, making her by far the best hotel-named woman in America. Bonus points go to her parents for being able to come up with an actual first name instead of calling her Shanghai Hiatt or something. Seriously though, she's lovely, and I daresay she had a place in every poker watcher's affections while she was still on the WPT. The sheer disappointment of having her replaced by run-of-the-mill blondes was testament to her appeal.
9. Laura Prepon
I'll start with the bad news: she's a Scientologist. Learning that someone thinks Tom Cruise's scientology promo video and Battlefield: Earth are a perfectly reasonable expression of religious sentiment is enough to dampen anyone's sex appeal. For an antidote, check out one of the episodes of That 70's Show where she wears a Catholic school uniform. Even if she believes that Xenu is imprisoned under a volcano somewhere and that the Marcabian battlefleet is coming for us in space DC-9s, she's still hot.
8. Isabelle Mercier
O Canada, there's something good about you after all. On the face of it, it would be easy to totally dismiss this faux nation of North Americans even more pompous than their southern neighbors; after all, they're not even a real country. But then they come up with someone like the beautiful and undeniably talented Isabelle Mercier. She caught our eye on the WPT when she was still working at the Aviation Club de France, and when she started playing, we were fans from day 1.
7. Gail Kim
Another drop-dead-gorgeous pro wrestler, Gail Kim made a brief appearance in the WWE just before the demise of the women's division. She was an impressive athlete, and how can you argue with those looks?
6. Alyson Hannigan
Ah, the phenomenon that was Buffy. I remember liking the original movie back in the day, and while the TV show was fun at first, the repetitive nature of the episodes and Josh Whedon's "clever" writing got so boring that I didn't manage to keep watching past the first season. The strongest condemnation of Whedon that I can think of is that even Alyson Hannigan playing a lesbian witch wasn't enough to get me to watch the show. I mean, look at her.
5. Miley Cyrus
Oh boy, if you thought Emma Watson in my hot actresses list was wrong, you're gonna love this one. She'll be 18 in November of this year, though, and even before that, she's legal in Finland, so she still makes the list. One day, I decided we're going to watch an episode of Hannah Montana, just to find out what it's all about. Everyone who contributes to this blog may be old, but at least some of us try to keep up with what's going on. Surprisingly, it turns out Hannah Montana is a decent show, and Miley Cyrus is a cute, sympathetic lead. Maybe my strangest Hannah Montana experience was finding out that several of my fellow inmates in prison were fans of the show. The first time I saw her she was really just a cute little girl, but after seeing her on the Ellen Degeneres Show, of all things, almost wearing a very short skirt, it's harder to think of her as just a little girl. Nice legs, by the way.
4. Kari Byron
Everyone's favorite Mythbuster was a great reason to watch the show even after it got stale. No "myth" was too implausible nor any experiment too silly if she was on screen. Not only is she gorgeous, but she can do science and build things. How sexy is that? Luckily for all of us, she was also kind enough to pose for FHM.
3. Kara Dioguardi
I freely admit I had no idea who she was before she started judging on American Idol. Since then, though, she's been growing on me, until this season, when I have to fess up to having a horrible crush on her. Even some of her questionable dress choices, like the results show a few weeks back when she appeared as, seemingly, a Bajoran intelligence officer, can't shake the sheer pleasure I get from seeing her on TV. In addition to that, she's now embracing the spotlight, with a bikini shoot for Maxim and a nude pictorial (done tastefully, of course). If she keeps this up, I'll start hoping to see her in Playboy. Hef, give her a call!
2. Christy Hemme
If you've been following my series of "best of the 2000's" posts, you've already met the Hooters girl turned pro wrestler. She is simply fabulous, and each of her fairly rare appearances on TV was a highlight in itself.
1. Amy Dumas
The queen of pro wrestling has admittedly appeared in this blog quite a few times, but I'm not ashamed to say I consider her something of a pinnacle of womanhood. On the topic of this list, she made a brief foray into TV drama with an appearance on the final double episode of Dark Angel, where an inept stuntwoman broke her neck in the final fight scene. Thanks a million, dumbass. Unfortunately she seems to have pretty much dropped off the TV map since. I miss her!
