Katharine McPhee’s Hot GQ Spread Tops Our List Of Her 20 Most Smashing Looks

Katharine McPhee took over our TV sets once before during her unforgettable run on American Idol back in 2006. And now she’s at it again, with the staring role in NBC’s Smash! The dramatic new series features McPhee as Karen Cartwright, an up-and-coming performer with some serious star power who gets her first shot at the big time. Sound familiar? It’s the role Katharine was born to play! The show premiered last night to record breaking numbers, and we can’t wait to see what’s to come.

But that’s not the only reason Kat is on everyone’s lips today. Her sizzling photo shoot for the March issue of GQ hit stands today, and it’s adding fuel to the flames. Screw the Giants parade, Katharine McPhee officially owns the day as far as we’re concerned. Take a look at the gallery below for her 20 most “smashingly” hot looks. Enjoy!

Haywire Star Gina Carano’s 20 Hottest And Most Badass Looks

Some of us are just getting to know Gina Carano, as she makes her movie debut in Steven Soderberg’s Haywire, in theaters today. In the movie, she plays Mallory Kane, a private security contractor whose boss/lover turns on her. And naturally, to survive and exact revenge, she winds up kicking the ass of some rather delicious foes: Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas and Channing Tatum. She also happens to have done all of her own stunts. (At post-screening Q&A for the movie we attended back in December, she said she loves bruises and had to talk the stunt guys into hitting her for real.) Because before becoming an actress, she was a professional badass.

The Muay Thai kickboxer was one of the hottest MMA fighters in the biz before going on hiatus in 2009. (Here’s a little highlights video put together by a fan.) She was also #16 on the Maxim Hot 100 in 2009 and appeared as Crush on American Gladiators.

After seeing her defy the laws of physics in Haywire, we’re very eager for her to get back in the ring. Then again, it would be a loss to moviegoers if she didn’t stay in the acting game — despite the admission by Soderberg that he altered her voice for the flick; she doesn’t really talk all that much in the movie anyway. But we love seeing a female action hero with real muscle and fire in her eyes. Check out our 20 favorite pics of the lovely and deadly Gina below.

Dolly Parton’s 20 Craziest Cleavage-Tastic Looks

Hello, Dolly! An icon of stage and screen for over 40 years, Dolly Parton has become the platinum-blond standard of what a star should be. She’s made more that 40 (yes, 40!) albums over the decades, received two Academy Award nominations, acted in beloved classics like 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias, and founded her own charitable foundation. Hell, she even has her own theme park. Dumb blonde, she ain’t! And she’s done it all while always looking like a million bucks. Literally! “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap,” she famously said, but her self-deprecation only makes us love her even more.

But in addition to all of her glittering career accomplishments over the years, the self-proclaimed “Backwoods Barbie” is also known for her fabulous figure, which she’s -err- prone to showing off on occasion. We’ll come right out and say it: she’s famed for wearing some of the most jaw-droppingly low necklines in showbiz. At 65 years old, she’s showing no sign of slowing down or covering up. Earlier this week she showed up to the the premiere of her latest movie, Joyful Noise, in one of her most blatantly boob baring outfits yet! And it goes without saying that she looked as stunning as ever. So in honor of her new movie opening wide today, we’d like to celebrate with a look at some of Dolly’s most cleavage-tastic outfits of all time. So make some joyful noise and head to the gallery below!

Jessica Chastain’s 20 Hottest Looks

2011 could pretty much be called The Year Of Jessica Chastain. The lady was EVERYWHERE last year, with so many great performances that she probably deserves an Oscar category of her own! Her biggest credits this year include award winning roles in The Help (which also earned her a CCMA nom), The Tree Of Life, and The Debt, to name just a few. And who knows what 2012 will bring! But of course, with every stunning movie comes an equally stunning outfit to wear to the premiere, and Jessica has lit the red carpet on fire more than her fair share in the 12 months. So without further ado, we’d like to present Jessica Chastain’s 20 hottest styles. Enjoy!

Alexander Skarsgard’s 20 Sexiest Looks

We have a lot of feelings about Alexander Skarsgard (who turns 35 today), the most important of which is that he is the most beautiful specimen to walk the face of the earth.  We would pay double for HBO if they could find a way to incorporate his naked butt into every True Blood scene. Or how about just find a way to have him walk around naked on every series on the network? A naked Alex and the Entourage dudes? Palling around in his birthday suit with Larry David? We would watch! Oh, how we would watch.

But ASkars still delivers the sexy goods when fully dressed. Look at him in a suit! Look at him in a rumpled denim shirt! Look at him casually draping a suit jacket over a white tee that loosely hangs from his Nordic god muscles! It’s all just too much, which is why we have 20 delectable photos of Eric Northman hunking it up in our gallery below.

Cameron Diaz’s Top 20 Leggiest Looks

Cameron Diaz has been an A-Lister ever since she survived co-starring with Jim Carrey in The Mask. Honestly, we can’t think of a harder way to earn your showbiz stripes. But from there she blossomed, starring in comedy classics like There’s Something About Mary, and rocking not one but two dynamite franchises: Charlie’s Angles and Shrek. And of course, there was her unforgettable turn as the ditzy Kimberly Wallace in My Best Friend’s Wedding (our fave). The Oscar peeps must have been asleep at the wheel that year.

What’s the secret to her success? Strong acting skills, gorgeous facial features, and a hot wardrobe? Sure. But perhaps most importantly, she has legs that go all the way up to the Arctic Circle. Just peep the posters for the upcoming Bad Teacher, which opens wide today! In honor of our favorite leggy blonde’s return to the big screen, we take a look back at her shortest skirts and highest hemlines.
