Why we Like her?
A thoroughly urban young woman, Scarlett Johansson knew she wanted to be an actress at age 3, and she made that wish a reality only five years later. After an off-Broadway debut and several film roles, Scarlett went on to win a Hollywood Reporter YoungStar Award for her work in The Horse Whisperer.

More recently, the ever-confident and uniquely gifted Scarlett has been named Breakthrough Actress at the 2003 Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Lost in Translation) at the 2004 BAFTA Awards. She was also nominated for two Best Actress Golden Globes for Lost in Translation and Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Why she is Famous?
After her role in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer (1998), the teenaged Scarlett landed one plum part after another in movies like Ghost World (2000), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), Lost in Translation (2003), Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003), and The Perfect Score (2004).

Although she's been acting for over a decade, it wasn't until 2003 that Scarlett Johansson burst onto the scene with a star-making performance in Lost in Translation. Scarlett has spent the last several years appearing in a wide variety of films, including a historical drama, 2003?s Girl with a Pearl Earring, a science-fiction thriller, 2005?s The Island, and even a feature-length cartoon, lending her voice to 2004?s The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie. Scarlett?s reputation for hooking up with some of the hottest men in Hollywood -- young (Josh Hartnett) and old (Benicio Del Toro) -- precedes her, and she's made it clear on several occasions that she doesn?t entirely believe in the concept of monogamy.

Biography
Born in New York City on November 22nd, 1984, Scarlett Johansson is the youngest of four siblings -- she has an older brother and sister, as well as a twin brother. As might be expected of an acting prodigy, Scarlett had an unusually early interest in performing: she wanted to be an actress since age 3, and was acting professionally when she was only 8 years old. After taking classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for Young People, Scarlett made her stage debut in the early 1990s in the off-Broadway production of Sophistry, alongside Ethan Hawke.

Alessandra Ambrosio - Brazilian Model

Since being discovered following the Elite modeling agency's 1996 "Look of the Year" competition, this spicy Brazilian bombshell has been consistently gracing the Victoria?s Secret Fashion Show. Her most memorable walk down the Victoria's Secret runway was in 2005, when she sported a bra and panties made entirely out of candy. Her exotic look has also been featured in high-profile campaigns for Guess? and Revlon

Why we Like her?
Alessandra is as sexy as her name, and not featuring her would be considered a crime to her home country. Now we have two reasons to visit Brazil, including the Carnaval in Rio.

Alessandra made quite a splash in 2006, skyrocketing from her previous No. 36 spot on the list to an impressive No. 6. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and posing for magazine covers weren't Alessandra's only major accomplishments during the past year. She also dabbled briefly in the world of acting, making her movie debut with a seductive cameo appearance in Casino Royale.

Why she is Famous?
Alessandra was in dozens of fashion campaigns, like the latest one for Guess? She also recently appeared in the Cannes Victoria's Secret webcast.

Along with a guaranteed spot donning lingerie in the next Victoria?s Secret Fashion Show, Alessandra Ambrosio will continue to grace the covers of some of the industry's best-known fashion magazines; to the relief of publishers and men all over the world.

What makes her so Famous?
Not only is Adriana Lima considered one of Victoria's Secret's "Perfect 10" models, but as a spokesperson for Armani Jeans, we're not sure whether we'd rather see her in lingerie or jeans... tough call, ain't it?

Why we adore her..., as we do?

Biography
Adriana Francesca Lima was born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed Brazilian beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage.

Her climb from obscurity to glam girl occurred after placing second in the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest at the age of 13. Three years later, she headed to one of the fashion centers of the world, New York, and signed with Elite Model Management. Once there, her modeling portfolio began to expand exponentially, after appearing in Vogue (Italy) in 1997, as well as Vogue (UK), I-D (UK), Marie Claire (Brazil), and Vogue (Italy) in 1998. Adriana also appeared in Vogue (U.S., Germany, UK) and Marie Claire (Italy) in 1999.

As for fashion shows, the Vogue girl has walked down the runway for the following designers: Cynthia Rowley, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Betsey Johnson, Girls Rule, Richard Tyler, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Randolph Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, just to name a few.

But one of Adriana's most notable catwalk appearances was in the Victoria's Secret summer 2000 swimwear catalog (shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the spotlight with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta.
