Megan Fox is such an effortless sex symbol, we knew a little setback like her battle with Transformers director Michael Bay wouldn’t hold her back for long. As the face of Armani Eye Prime and the butt of Armani Jeans, it’s no wonder Megan tops many “hot” lists. Her curvacious body and baby blues caught the eyes of her husband Brian Austin Green back in 2004 on the set of Hope & Faith, one of her first big TV roles. She’s a rebel too. With eight tattoos and a great pucker, some have pegged her as the next Angelina Jolie. She’s apparently getting rid of her most-known tattoo though, a portrait of Marilyn Monroe. We also hear she may be pregnant. We know for sure that Megan can pull off a great pair of thigh-high stockings while rolling in bed, like her new Sharper Image ad. Today’s Megan’s 26th birthday and we’d like to wish her a big happy birthday by giving you 26 of her steamiest looks. Enjoy!

As the little sister of a pop icon, of course Janet Jackson had it in her genes to be a star. She began her career at the tender age of 10 appearing on her family’s variety show, The Jacksons. Then broke away from the Jackson clan when she appeared on the television series Good Times. But it soon became apparent that acting wasn’t the only talent Janet possessed, and she signed a record deal in 1982. Janet exploded as a true pop star when her third album Control reached the top of the charts with such hits as “What Have You Done For Me Lately” and “Nasty,” while her hot ensembles and killer body made her a sex symbol. Twenty-five years later, Janet still busts a move on her tours and is one of the leading black actresses in Hollywood in films like Why Did I Get Married Too? and For Colored Girls. Today Janet turns 46 years old, inspiring us to take a stroll down memory lane to just where Janet’s success began. Here are 46 pics of her from little Janet to Ms. Jackson through the years.
