2004 hotness list

while we’re on the topic of whats hot and whats not…i think its time to bring back my top 10 hotness list (…list…list…echo…) i should really stop echoing. me and marisol, back in our more lax days of 2002, use to discuss our opinions on the hottest women out there. we tore thru the always-fun mueller invitational, and then made our own list of cute girls. her (skewed female) perspective placed jennifer connelly and jennifer garner at the top of her list. i scoffed at this and offered her my own list of hotness. the list has since been updated for 2004, but its still picky as ever. and now, the top 10…

2004 HOTNESS LIST

10 | HSU CHI (SHU QI)
apr16.76 | taiwan
lookee who made it into the top 10…pouting no-acting-ability hsu chi. but its all good…this isnt a top 10 of oscar contenders. first seen by the majority of americans in the transporter, this softcore porn actress-turned-legit-actress has actually been acting in taiwan and hk for nearly a decade.
notable work so close, transporter, finding mr. perfect

09 | SHANNYN SOSSAMON
oct03.79 | hawaii
the oft overlooked but always cute shannyn sossamon first got attention in a knights tale opposite heath ledger. she then went on to make crap movies, except rules of attraction, which rocked, but is otherwise still relatively unknown. she djs tho on the side…swoo.

08 | ANNA PAQUIN
jul24.82 | winnipeg, canada
aw…cute little anna paquin. this oscar winner is currently playing rogue in the x-men movies…which im still amazed didnt suck. its been noted that she stands out a little bit amongst the others on the list. i just tell them she has that cute crooked smile.
notable work x-men, almost famous, x-men 2

07 | MILLA JOVOVICH
dec17.75 | ussr (ukraine)
perennial favorite milla has probably been on my list since her dazed and confused days. her actings a little suspect, but its all good. im not staring at her emoting abilities on the screen. shes currently shooting the sequel to the craptacularly loud resident evil. yay.
notable work fifth element, resident evil, resident evil ii (upcoming)

06 | JI-HYUN JUN
oct30.81 | seoul, s.korea
wooha…sassy girl herself. new to the list, ji-hyun jun was just ridiculously adorable in my sassy girl as she kicked the shit out of gyun-woo. her dirty looks are pretty cute too…and she burns up the dance floor.
notable work siworae (il mare), my sassy girl, yeon (uninvited)

05 | JOLENE BLALOCK
mar05.75 | california
think of this as vindication for the legions of star trek nerds out there. jolenes a vulcan yo! sadly tho, shes probably the only thing watchable on the current star trek series enterprise…but at least she wears catsuits everyday. word! the bowl-cuts gotta go tho…
notable work star trek enterprise, slow burn (upcoming)

04 | NATALIE PORTMAN
jun09.81 | jerusalem, israel
ah, natalie portman…the long-running number 1 of my list has slipped from the top spot in recent years. cute, intelligent, and elegant…shes the classic beauty that will probably never fall off this list. even the poo that is the star wars series cant blemish her standing…
notable work leon, star wars series eps1-3, garden state

03 | KRISTIN KREUK
dec30.82 | vancouver, canada
one of the youngest currently on the list, kristin kreuk is squeaky clean lana lang on the rockin’ smallville. still relatively obscure in the united states, her body of work consists mainly of television series…but she does get to play a slutty ex-girlfriend in the forthcoming movie eurotrip.
notable work edgemont, smallville, eurotrip

02 | KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
mar26.85 | middlesex, england
holy shit, 1985? i suppose that just barely makes her the youngest on the list. looking alot like the secret love-child of natalie portman and winona ryder, keira rocked in bend it like beckham, and rocked even more in pirates of the caribbean. her role in love actually was too shrinky-dink, but its all good. she’ll be seen next in the forthcoming movie king arthur.
notable work bend it like beckham, pirates of the caribbean

01 | AKIKO MONOU
apr.02.76 | kanagawa, japan
akiko who? akiko monou yo. new to the list, and shooting straight to the top, akiko is just ridiculously gorgeous. she has a relatively small body of work, and theres almost no info available on her online. but if you watch stereo future, you might see why shes number one. she even has a small part in lost in translation too as p-chan the model (shes the one with the fur hat).
notable work stereo future, kakuto, lost in translation
