The actresses of 2011 are on a mission to make this year the hottest ever. I can't tell if it's summertime making me hot or these lovely ladies.
Mila Kunis - Friends With Benefits
It seems like you can’t flip a channel these days without hearing Mila Kunis’ name. She’s everywhere, smiling and radiant, from magazine covers to number two on Askmen’s Top 99 Women of 2011. If you happen to take a girl on date this summer and it’s to see Friends with Benefits, we won’t judge you. Because we’ll be doing the same exact thing.
It’s been quite a year for young Ms. Lively. Her cellphone photos notwithstanding, Blake’s worked her way into a major summer blockbuster in Green Lantern. She may be on the one hottest women in Hollywood right now and certainly atop the A-list of actresses. We could write a whole bunch on her but let’s be honest; you’re here to soak in her beauty. Just Askmen, they ranked her number one for 2011.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Rosie Hunington-Whiteley started off as one of the hottest women in the world anyway. Now she’s one of the hottest actresses of 2011 thanks to Megan Fox early departure from the Transformer’s franchise. In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Rosie is the human equivalent of the all-spark, breathing life into Michael Bay’s robots-gone-wild explodeathon.
Emma Stone - The Amazing Spider-Man
You loved her in Superbad, you probably won’t see Crazy, Stupid, Love and, if you have a girlfriend, you might see Friends With Benefits. So why care about Emma Stone Simple, she’s Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man. Fanboys around the world are squealing in glee for good reason. She’s a knockout redhead, with a playfully naughty side and one of 2011’s hottest actresses.
Perhaps the most recognizable scene in 2011 is Natalie Portman's behind in Your Highness. Pregnancy be damned. It’s one of the hottest scenes in 2011 and she’s still one of the hottest women working in Hollywood today. It doesn’t hurt that she’s in Thor, playing a ditzy, brilliant and entirely too trusting astro-physicist who falls for the hammer-wielding God of Thunder.
Remember Winter’s Bone? The movie about back country Ozark family held together by an intrepid young girl? That’s what we thought. Jennifer Lawrence was so under the radar in 2010, she could have landed in a walled compound in Abbottabad. That is, until a photo shoot in Esquire changed everything. The collective thud you heard was the jaws of men everywhere. In 2011, she stars as the shape-shifting Mystique in X-Men: First Class, and we’re hoping there are plenty of similar roles for her in the future.
If you didn’t know Abbie Cornish before 2011, you definitely know her now. Sucker Punch put her on the walls of dorm rooms and desktops everywhere. In Limitless, she plays Lindy, stealing Bradley Cooper’s heart and making ours stop. Plain and simple, Cornish is hot.
Number thirty on Askmen’s Top 99 Women of 2011, Olivia Wilde, continues to bewitch audiences. She’s staring in John Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens, fulfilling the dusty fantasies of sci-fi and western fans everywhere. The bewitching brunette made men everywhere want to climb into a computer and ride a light cycle.
As Hermoine, Emma Watson, stole the hearts of people around the world. The final installment of Harry Potter is due to hit theaters this week and Watson is ready to be one of the hottest actresses of 2011. The English born isn’t wasting any time breaking about from her magical roots. She’s due to star as Lucy in My Week with Marilyn later in the year alongside the likes of Kenneth Branagh and Dame Judy Dench.
Is there a year that Scarlet Johansson doesn’t qualify for a list like this? She’s one of the hottest actresses of the past decade and plays a range of roles. She’s a woman for all tastes and seasons. We’re hoping she makes an appearance at Comic-Con this year and dishes some dirt on the production of The Avengers. In her costume. Which is leather and super tight. Hmmmm.
Did you see the Roommate? Because you really, really should rent it from On-Demand. When you’re alone and ready to indulge in some seriously hot... um... drama. Trust us. Minka Kelly set to star in the upcoming TV reboot of Charlie’s Angels and her boyfriend, Derek Jeter, isn’t having that bad of a year either.
