Here's my list of Top 10 Celebrity Hot Chicks for June 2005.  This list is not a cumulative thing - after all, there wouldn't be much run for you the reader if Laetitia Casta, Madonna and Angelina Jolie were ranked number 1,2 and 3 for the next year.  So I've decided to add some variety to this list by having the simple rule that no single celebrity can appear on this list more than once every six months. Also, not only am I doing this list as a way to indulge myself, but also to turn you on to actresses, singers and other personalities you might not have heard of.  So... enjoy the list!

Take everything that's attractive about Angelina Jolie *and* Jessica Alba *and* Uma Thurman *and* Gwyneth Paltrow *and* Nicole Kidman *and* Charlize Theron *and* Laetitia Casta *and* Fernanda Tavares, combine them all together and multiply all of them by a million... and you're still not even close to the beauty that was Grace Kelly. Period dot.  Full stop. The scene in Rear Window when Jimmy Stewart awakes to find Grace Kelly leaning over him... no woman was more beautiful than her... ever.

The first time I ever saw Kate Winslet, I was skipping Latin class to see a Cinefest showing of Heavenly Creatures... and she's taken my breath away ever since. Part of it is that she's a wonderful actress, unafraid to take on any role that suits her.  But the most important part of it is that she's just herself.  She doesn't play any of the "Hollywood games".  She doesn't care if she weighs a few pounds more than Harvey Weinstein would like, nor does she pimp herself out to the latest Hollywood crapfest just for a big paycheck.  She's simply herself, and what's sexier than that?

OK, so I remember seeing the video for "Torn" and thinking that Natalie Imbruglia was pretty hot.  But then she kind of disappeared, so I filed her away in the "Their 15 Minutes Are Up" folder. But then... she came back as the only highlight of the otherwise dismal Rowan Atkinson film Johnny English. She's just got... those huge, beautiful eyes!  They're hypnotic!  I can't stop staring at them!  Unless it's to look at her breasts.  She got the best boob job ever - seriously.  Too bad Tara Reid didn't get the name of her plastic surgeon!

Back in high school, my "perfect woman" had black hair (cut in a bob), pale skin, and some obscene shade of bright red lipstick.  By the time I got to college, the "perfect woman" paradigm had morphed into... well, Piper Perabo. Blonde hair and brown eyebrows (in a specific combination of shades, mind you), not-quite-olive-complexion, cute nose, overall "sweet" appearance... it's all there.  Too bad she had to star in the cheesefest that was Coyote Ugly. If you want to see her actually act, check her out as a lesbian schoolgirl in Lost and Delirious (and yes, there *are* love scenes!) 

Jennifer Connelly is 27 different kinds of hot... or at least she was before she lost all that weight to portray a heroin addict in Requiem for a Dream. She's still really pretty, but she's just not the same girl that she was in earlier movies like Career Opportunities or Some Girls. These days she has... "edges" instead of curves. It's sad.  The girl from A Beautiful Mind was pretty, but the girl from Career Opportunities was someone you dreamed about... in spite of those hideous 80s spandex leggings. Of course, it was hard to notice the pants, what with her enormous chest and all...

Friends and family members must be shocked. I'll freely admit that I wasn't that much of a fan back when she was a Playboy bunny or on Singled Out... but now: wow! I caught her last night on Carson Daly's show and she had gained a few pounds and was talking about being a mommy, and man, did it turn me on! I have a theory about Jenny - I think she's actually some kind of supergenius that only acts dumb around the rest of us mere mortals. Seriously... check out her facial expressions sometime... there's a lot more going on that you'd think, as if she were doing nuclear fusion problems in her head while answering Carson's inane questions about baby spittle.

Meredith Vieira is 54 years old.  54 years old and she still looks like that? I've gotta tell you folks... that's pretty damn hot.  Combine that with her rather infamous admission on The View that she doesn't wear underwear, and you've got one hot, kinky mommy. Personally, I wish she'd stop doing those healthcare commercials - hawking Geritol isn't sexy, Meredith... you should be doing Victoria's Secret commercials, that is, if you actually wore their products - but hey, I'm not her agent. In between Felicity Huffman, Jenny McCarthy and Meredith, I'm really wondering what's up with the "mommy fetish" lately...

Although one of Rhona Mitra's earliest jobs was as one of the official Lara Croft models, you probably remember her as "Holly Beggins" - one of Bailey 's last girlfriends from the old Fox show Party of Five. Since them she's had parts in such films and TV shows as Hollow Man, Get Carter, Gideon's Crossing, Sweet Home Alabama, The Life of David Gale, The Practice, Boston Legal. She's English.  She's tall.  She's got this really sultry thing going on, which is hot. The best part is, she doesn't know how hot she is. She needs to stop losing the accent in movies, though.

Most Americans first got to know Diane Kruger from her role as Helen in the Brad Pitt epic Troy. Since then, she's played opposite Nicholas Cage in National Treasure - which, I guess, means that she should get a new agent.  I don't know what it is about this girl... there's nothing particular about her that leaps out as "attractive", but I just can't keep my eyes off her when she's on the screen.  Which came in really handy for the sausage-fest that was Troy.

Katrina Leeder's claim to fame is from the British reality show Airline (which is called Airline UK here in the US). In it, she "played" an EasyJet ticket agent. After a successful fight with renal cancer - for which she had to cut off her gorgeous blonde locks - Katrina quit EasyJet in 2001 to become a model, which she found unfulfilling.  Craving interaction with the public, she instead went on to become a spokesmodel for French automaker Citroen. She is approaching 5 years of being cancer-free. Were there ever a "fine English lass", Katrina is it.
