We have always been fans of voluptuous women, and apparently so was this week's voting panel, who simply remarked, "she looks sexy in the way a woman is supposed to look sexy." How can we top that?

Biography

Born in Beloit, Wisconsin, on March 25, 1982, Danica Patrick grew up in a loving household with parents T.J. and Bev and sister Brooke. Danica Patrick's need for speed was not obvious from the get-go as, like many young girls, she loved to play with Barbie dolls as a child.

At the age of 10, however, Danica Patrick got a glimpse into a world she would come to love. She accompanied her sibling on a trip to a go-karting lesson and quickly fell in love with sitting behind the wheel of a speedy vehicle. While sister Brooke soon abandoned racing, Danica Patrick was hooked, and she soon joined the World Karting Association (WKA).

Why Is She Famous?
A shining star in a sport governed and controlled by men, Danica Patrick found her way into the Indy Racing League by earning a spot on the Rahal Letterman Racing team in 2002. More than six years later this speedy sexpot made waves in the February 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Success

Involved in racing since the age of 10, Danica first conquered the world of kart racing, winning the national points championship of the World Karting Association in 1994.

Throughout her adolescence, Danica continued to rise through the ranks of assorted racing leagues, and by 2002, she was able to secure a spot with Team Rahal Letterman of the Indy Racing League. For two years, she trained in lesser leagues, getting her senses of speed and timing right. Once Danica became the first woman to win a pole position and post a podium result in the Toyota Atlantic racing series, her bosses at Rahal Letterman Racing promoted her to IndyCar.

Danica Patrick made headlines as the only woman in this exclusive league, and was in contention throughout her 2005 rookie year. At the Indy 500 in May, Danica Patrick was the center of attention, becoming the fastest driver during the pole runs and entering the record books as the first woman to ever lead the Indy 500 (she led for 19 laps). Then, in April 2008, Danica Patrick became the first female to win an IndyCar Series race.

Sexiness

At 5'2" and 100 pounds, Danica Patrick is a petite woman with a cute little body and long brown hair. Her youthful features and round face give her a girly look that complements her often boyish attire -- it's hard to make a racing suit look feminine.

However, FHM placed Danica Patrick in its 100 Sexiest Women Of The World twice; she ranked No. 42 in 2006 and No. 85 in 2007. Victoria's Secret also chose Danica Patrick as the sexiest athlete for its What Is Sexy list, and she made AskMen.com's Top 99 of 2009.

Quotes

"I need to beat them, belittle them and make them feel small. Trying to run them off the road at 170 mph isn't sweet and kind."
- Danica Patrick, on her feelings towards her competition.

Anne Hathaway

2009-05-02T21:46:00.000-07:00

Biography
Anne Jacqueline Hathaway was born on November 12, 1982, in Brooklyn, New York. Anne was raised within a well-to-do household along with two siblings, and it was her mother -- a stage actress -- who initially sparked her interest in performing. Growing up in New Jersey, Anne Hathaway spent much of her spare time perfecting her abilities as an actress. To that end, Anne became a permanent fixture within many of her high school’s amateur productions, and she even managed to land a spot in the Barrow Group Theater Company's acting program (the first time a teenager was admitted).

Why Is She Famous?
A force on stage and on the screen, Anne Hathaway has appeared most notably in the films Get Smart , opposite Steve Carell and Rachel Getting Married, both of which were released in 2008.

Success
With only a handful of films under her slender belt, Anne Hathaway quickly established herself as a natural successor to such famed leading ladies as Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. Her proclivity for choosing eclectic roles continued into 2008, as Anne Hathaway was cast in three vastly different projects.

Anne Hathaway was cast opposite Steve Carell and Dwayne Johnson in the highly anticipated big-budget adaptation of Get Smart (2008), in which she stars as Steve Carell’s partner, Agent 99. Anne Hathaway also filmed a role alongside Patrick Wilson and Clea DuVall in the drama Passengers (2008), and she tapped into a sardonic, dark vein with appearances in Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married. She also starred alongside Kate Hudson in Gary Winick’s Bride Wars (2009).

Anne Hathaway's career got a huge boost when her work in Rachel Getting Married got her an Academy Award nomination for best actress in 2009. Although she did not win, many critics felt she was a strong contender.

She may not have won that many awards yet, but Anne Hathaway has made tons of lists (including AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable of 2009) and she has worked with some huge Hollywood A-listers.

Sexiness
From her 2001 role in The Princess Diaries to her 2008 appearance in Rachel Getting Married, it’s clear that Anne Hathaway is one of those actresses who improves as she ages. While Anne’s willingness to explore her more sultry side has certainly won her a legion of male fans, she possesses the acting chops that’ll ensure she’s never thought of as just another pretty face.

Quotes
“Over the last few years I've learned that the Next Big Thing is something a lot of people wish and want for you -- but what you wish for yourself is really important too.”
- Anne Hathaway

Alessandra Ambrosio

2009-05-02T21:34:00.000-07:00

Biography
Alessandra Ambrosio was born April 11, 1981, in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The eldest of two daughters, she entered the world of modeling at the age of 14 when she won the Elite Look of the Year Contest. Her victory in the prestigious event led to a number of lucrative offers and, within a year, she was selected to appear in the Millennium GUESS campaign along with fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.

The high-profile campaign transformed Alessandra Ambrosio into an overnight sensation, and the world’s biggest designers were soon lining up for the opportunity to have her model their clothing. Alessandra happily complied and, in 2000, she walked the catwalks for a veritable who’s who of fashion illuminati, including Christian Lacroix, Christian Dior, Nanette Lepore, Oscar de la Renta, Vivienne Tam, and Vivienne Westwood, among many others.

Why Is She Famous?

Alessandra Ambrosio has appeared in dozens of fashion campaigns, for the likes of GUESS, Revlon, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. In 2008, Alessandra signed on to replace Gisele Bundchen in Victoria's Secret's popular Angels campaign.

Success

What does it take to become a supermodel? It helps to have a statuesque figure, fabulously long legs, sultry bedroom eyes, and impeccable genes. In short, it helps to look exactly like Alessandra Ambrosio. This Brazilian bombshell has appeared in high-profile campaigns for GUESS, Revlon, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and of course, Victoria’s Secret.

And in 2008, Alessandra Ambrosio signed on to replace the departing Gisele Bundchen in the lingerie company’s popular Angels campaign.

Sexiness

If Gisele Bundchen is the only Brazilian supermodel's name you know, it's high time you checked out Alessandra Ambrosio. She's been described as "the future of modeling" by Ms. Tyra Banks herself. Although we don't always agree with Tyra's choices when our female companions force us to sit through episodes of America's Next Top Model, this time we thinks she's right. This long-legged goddess has received plenty of attention over the past two years after being ranked No. 36 and then No. 6 on AskMen.com's list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women.

We love that Alessandra Ambrosia isn't just rail thin; she actually works for her body. “I work out with my Brazilian trainer, Leandro,” she explains. “He invented the Brazilian Butt Lift which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.” Here's to hoping the Brazilian Butt Lift makes its way to gyms across America very soon.

Quotes

"I have seven different jewels for my piercing. Every day I wear a different one according to the clothes I am wearing."

Biography

Jennifer Lopez was born in New York City, on July 24, 1969. The daughter of David, a computer programmer, and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher, the young Lopez always dreamed of becoming a performer.
With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Why Is She Famous?
Jennifer Lopez got her big start on the TV comedy hit In Living Color as a Fly Girl, but bigger and better things were on the horizon for J. Lo as she moved onto the silver screen with blockbuster flicks like Selena (1997) and Monster-in-Law (2005). And before we could say, "Hey, who's that hot Puerto Rican chick?" Jennifer released hit album after hit album. Is there anything this girl can't do?

Success
Her performance in Selena didn't only launch her career, it garnered her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in 1998. Unlike many other actresses who need a collection of no-name movies to their credit to finally break through in a blockbuster, most of her movie roles have brand-name recognition.

As for her recording career, who knew that she would become one of the most bankable artists in Sony Music history? Her debut album On the 6 went platinum after two months. When her follow-up album, J.Lo, was released, she became the first female artist to have a No. 1 album and a No. 1 film (The Wedding Planner) in the same week.
On the business front, she has launched two successful clothing lines, JLO by Jennifer Lopez and Sweetface, a collection of fragrances and a Cuban restaurant called Madre's (which closed in July 2008).

We can go on and on about her accomplishments, but we'll sum it up by saying that she'll need to add an extension to her house just to make room for all her money.

Sexiness
Jennifer Lopez is about as sexy as any woman can naturally be. Considering that she hasn't had any work done (well, none that we know of), we have to admit that she's a smokin' Latin lady. With her olive skin, sparkling eyes, tantalizing curves, and infamous rear, it's no wonder we love drooling over J. Lo.

And since establishing her own clothing line, JLO, it seems like women worldwide want to be just like Jenny. That's certainly not a problem for us.

Quotes
"I could serve coffee using my rear as a ledge."
- Jennifer Lopez
