Sexiest Action Stars

Sexiest Action Stars
Can you guess the hotties who heat up our favorite action films without breaking a sweat? Find out which bad boys -- & girls -- jumped to the top of list.

Ryan Reynolds
He’s starring in a hot summer blockbuster and once played a sexy mutant in this film. Though he recently ended his marriage to another sexy star, rumor has it that he’s dating this German model
Halle Berry
From Bond girl to feline superhero, Halle knows how to look sexy in action, and she’s the poster girl for looking hot after 40.
Christian Bale
Is there anything this newly minted Oscar winner can’t do? His turn as this superhero got rave reviews, and he’ll return in this hotly anticipated sequel. He further mastered the art of sexy action star in this film.
Angelina Jolie
Bonafide sexy action star and full-time philanthropist, she made her mark last year in this high-profile role, and she met her future sweetheart when they worked on this big-budget action flick.
Chris Hemsworth
Don’t recognize this name? He’s getting major buzz for his sexy turn as this god of thunder in a big summer blockbuster, and again in this 2012 film. You might recognize him from this hit film, but he’s packed on some muscle since then.
Megan Fox
She first turned heads in this mega-budget movie franchise, and she kicked some serious bounty hunter butt in this film. Up next, she’ll star in this thriller. She’s married to a former 90210 star.
Daniel Craig
Before he played one of the most famous spies ever, this Brit sexed up the screen in this action film. He’s starring later this year in this buzzed film, based on the popular book.
Eva Green
Before she shot into the public eye as a Bond girl, she was in this Bernardo Bertolucci film. The French bombshell will be seen in a 2012 film based on a popular television series.
Henry Cavill
Recently cast as one of the greatest superheroes of all time, he’s bringing sexy back to the role. Not a household name yet, he’s been seen in this popular Showtime series and starred in this creepy thriller.
Rebecca Romijn
When your costume is make-up that leaves nothing to the imagination, it’s a safe bet you’ll make the sexy list. Her role in this blockbuster franchise, combined with her former role in this hit TV series make it hard to believe she’s a mother of twins.
Chris Evans
First seen in this film based on the comic book series, he recently suited up to play this all-American superhero. Rumored to be dating a “Glee” star, this sexy young actor looks like he’s ready for the limelight.
Will Smith
Not only has he mastered the art of being a sex symbol and a comedian, he seems to be the king of blockbuster summer action films, including this mega hit and this one. Up next, he’ll star in a sequel to another one of his hits.
Jennifer Lawrence
Her first big movie role wasn’t the sexiest, but it earned her an Oscar nomination. Up next, she plays the sexiest superhero in this blockbuster, and if you saw her Oscar dress, you know she can pull it off.
Hugh Jackman
Forever associated with bringing this famous superhero to the screen, he also made a splash in this hit. Up next, he’ll reprise his best-known role yet again in this 2012 film.
Scarlett Johansson
She first went sexy action star on us opposite Robert Downey Jr. in this mega hit. Next up, she’ll reprise that role in anther blockbuster film.
Kate Beckinsale
Maybe it was the tight-fitting latex body suit she sported in this film, or her turn in this monster-hunting flick. Either way, she’s sure to captivate when she dons the suit again in a much-anticipated sequel.
Gerard Butler
This Scottish stud burst on the scene, mostly shirtless, in this surprising hit movie. He has since played it sweet in this film, but he’s bringing the action back in this forthcoming movie.

American Idol Recap: And Now for the Ladies

<a href="http://www.bing.com/videos/browse?mkt=en-us&amp;from=cp^cp_en-us_autos_videos&amp;vid=6b792e8f-4cfd-455e-33ef-1ab602fd692b&amp;from=en-us&amp;fg=dest" target="_new" title="Thursday, March 3: &#39;Idol&#39; Girls Take the Stage">Video: Thursday, March 3: &#39;Idol&#39; Girls Take the Stage</a>

 The Top 12 girls have a lot to live up to after the boys' performances Tuesday night. The Top 12 Boys produced some stunning, chilling performances, a couple just-okay ones and one glorious misstep. A few favorites faltered. Scotty McCreery violated us with his eyebrows. And other favorites earned their keep. Based on the set list alone, I haven't been terribly excited about this episode. It seems a little heavy on the ballads -- lots of songs about spreading one's wings, looking inside your heart, achieving what you never thought you could, etc. Not enough sass or cougin' for my taste. We'll see if the girls can earn their keep!

Ryan promises us that the Top 12 ladies will be "fighting for your affection," which is a weird thing to say, especially because he said nothing of the kind about the boys. But that's just how Ryan rolls. I am obsessed with Jennifer's outfit tonight, and it is a travesty that we will only get to see the top half of it for most of the show. Those boots! She's rocking some luxurious hair, too.
Before making a surprisingly self-aware short joke, Ryan confirms that there will be five guys and five girls "fast-tracked" to the top however-many. Boo, gender parity. Randy asks us to ask ourselves, "Is this the American Idol?" when we're voting. I always do, Randy. Steven Tyler is looking especially like a creation from Jim Henson's Creature Shop tonight.
 
 I'm gathering from the comments that there aren't a lot of Rachel Zevita fans out there, so you will be happy to know that she is dressed like she's auditioning for a role in "Hocus Pocus" tonight.

Ta-Tynisa Wilson is up first, singing Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)" -- an interesting choice. She's definitely working the stage, but the vocal performance isn't particularly mind-blowing. The arrangement wasn't very energizing, either, and her long note was flatter than Louisiana. "It's good that it's over now, isn't it?" Jennifer said. Yes, it is. Randy said it was "just OK" and that he didn't get it, and then Jennifer immediately negated it by saying, "Good job, baby!" Like Randy isn't entitled to his opinion!

Naima Adedapo gets her very first product placement. She designed her dress herself and chose "Summertime" because of her mother. I'm really wishing their clip packages were just a little longer, but I'll regret saying that when they start doing Ford commercials. She's singing it up-tempo and lounge-y. It's good. I don't have any problems with it except that we're not totally riveted. Oh, she killed that last note, though, and that could save her. Jennifer loved it, of course. Randy thought it was a little lounge-y and liked the second half better than the first half. Steven likes that she's bringing "a new old-timey thing."
 Let's get to know Kendra Chantelle. We don't know her very well yet, and she's singing Xtina's "Impossible" to help us. Work those leather pants, girl! In case you didn't know, leather is in for Season 10. I'm not a big fan of this song, but Kendra is singing it well -- again, good but not life-changing. Randy's feedback made absolutely no sense. I think he liked it? He noted that Christina Aguilera sang it and "did her thing." Whatever that means.

Rachel Zevita and her witch cape are up next. I'm just glad she didn't put on twenty pounds of accessories before she got on stage this time. Homegirl loves hats. Off goes the witch cape!
 I love her dress, but the vocals are a little weak, mixed with shout-y. Not her best song choice, I think. If you close your eyes and put a beer in your hand, you may feel like you're at a karaoke bar. Randy said, "It wasn't great. It wasn't good. It just didn't work." Randy Jackson is my favorite judge. My husband, my other favorite judge (Don't tell Randy), said it seemed "forced and weird."


Karen Rodriguez is singing "Hero," and I just completely disagree with anyone singing this song unless they are in a 6th-grade talent show. She's even doing the song in two languages, which is a big hit in talent shows. I liked her high notes at the end, but it was sadly unremarkable (to me, Jennifer said, "Wow!"). Jennifer got goose bumps in English and Spanish. Randy liked it too, though, so I must just be feeling cynical watching this episode. I couldn't get over the song choice to hear how well she sang.

Have you voted for the ending of Jennifer Lopez's music video yet? Yeah, me neither. Unless the ending involves someone getting eaten by a dinosaur. I'd vote for that one.

Lauren Turner, my personal favorite, sings next. This is the first song choice that makes me happy and not nervous. I wish they would stop cutting over to Jennifer for reaction shots. She likes everything. Lauren is a powerhouse, and I like the way she sounds. I like my lady vocals a little scratchy. Randy gave her a "That's how you do it." He's excited by her whole bluesy flavor. Steven Tyler gave the first real, musical critique of the episode, talking about the "top floor" and how it was a complete sentence.


Ryan made another short joke! He's on a roll! A dinner roll ... to stand on or ride to work or something. Because he's short ... Nevermind. Forget I said anything.

Ashthon Jones is wearing a denim corset to sing "Love All Over Me." This is another song choice I feel lukewarm about. I actually like the way she sounds, though. R&B isn't a genre I know a whole lot about, but I'm buying Ashthon's performance. I even liked how she dramatically looked away from the microphone at the end of her song. Randy wasn't feeling the song, but he likes Ashthon. Randy and I are working the Vulcan mind meld tonight. The judges liked it, and Ashthon won me over with her J.Lo impression.
 Oh god, Julie Zorrilla is singing "Breakaway" by "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson. She looks like she's going to prom. Also, she should open her eyes every once in a while, just for safety reasons. It was truly average, and not at all what we expected from J.Lo's pick to win it. Jennifer asked Julie, "Do you really wanna break away?" Think about that next time, Julie. It didn't quite work for Randy, either.
 Thia Megia, one of the youngest contestants, starts a cappella. She's singing that song from "Fame," and I approve of her choice to go minimal. Thia is effortless, and she sounds awesome. I thought maybe I was just in a bad mood, but Thia's sounding good made me realize that maybe the performances just hadn't been up to the standard the guys set until now. Also, her dress was very pretty. Steven Tyler said her pitch is so perfect, it doesn't matter what song she sings. Is that a compliment? Randy said, once again, that "this is what it's about." I'm getting mixed messages from Randy on what it is, in fact, about.
I worry that people might already be getting tired of Lauren Alaina. That being said, I like her voice. It sounds like the better version of what Haley Reinhart is trying to do. I also like her song choice because it was fun and exciting and not something they would sing in a beauty pageant. The judges gush over her, of course.

 Please be good, Haley Reinhart. We'd ask her to sing something that's not "Fallin'" for once, but that's asking a lot of an "Idol" contestant. Haley is a brunette now, which confused me initially. I've liked Haley a lot in the past, but this performance is like a child beauty queen's best imitation of Jacob Lusk. It's a little nasally and over-growly and over-embellished for me. Randy said it didn't do anything for Haley, and that it was a little karaoke. And Haley pretended to gag. I don't know what that was, but it made me like her even less. I'm feeling salty!
 Randy calls Lauren "Kelly Clarkson meets Carrie Underwood," and I totally agree. I think I've even said that. Get out of my head, Randy! Lauren calls Ryan Seacrest "Peaches." I'm taking that and running with it.
Pia Toscano is closing out the night with another pageant song, "I'll Stand By You," complete with pageant gestures. She looks gorgeous, though. I think a lot of people have counted Pia out, but she's bringing it harder than a pageant queen. At the end, she proved why she's here and why Julie Zorrilla is pretty much the poor man's Pia Toscano. Then they cut to Ashthon Jones, who was like, "Uh oh."
Randy told Pia, "That's how you do it!" So, update your instruction manual. Ryan Seacrest asked, "How do you pick your favorite?" in a weird voice, and it ended the night on a sour note. Now we can look back on the performances and determine who will move on to the interview round.
Who were your favorites? My husband is rooting for Haley because she "sang and danced the sluttiest." What a guy. Is it still a guy's season to win?
