WHY AMANDA SEYFRIED IS No.92
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange are getting all the credit for dictating the way this past year played out, but for our money, filmmaker Atom Egoyan was the most influential man of 2010 (but in a very different way). He’s the visionary responsible for getting the voluptuous starlet Amanda Seyfried to take her top off in his erotic thriller Chloe. In it, Seyfried plays the beguiling prostitute charged with seducing Julianne Moore’s husband, played by Liam Neeson. What ensues is a visual cacophony of exposed skin, girl-on-girl makeouts and a coming-out party (pun intended) for the most aesthetically intriguing actress in Hollywood. Sure, the storyline was a little weak, but that’s not why we went on opening night. The wide-eyed Seyfried can next be seen as the eponymous heroine in Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood. Your mother’s fable this is not.
WHY LARISSA RIQUELME IS No.93
Last summer’s World Cup will be best remembered for two things. And, no, we’re not referring to Spain’s epic victory or those (misunderstood) vuvuzelas. We’re talking about Larissa Riquelme’s right and left breasts, with their cleavage coming in at a close third. The Paraguayan lingerie-model-turned-super-fan rose to international attention when television cameras spotted her cheering her home team with a cell phone strategically placed between her ample assets. With Riquelme’s name trending on Yahoo! and Twitter throughout the entire tournament, it was eventually revealed that the busty beauty was hired by a shrewd phone company as a living, breathing advertisement. Riquelme’s 15 minutes have long since passed, but we’ll always cherish the time we spent watching her watch soccer. Insert lame pun about “scoring” or “balls” here.
WHY MAGGIE GRACE IS No.94
Who would have guessed that, of all the castaways on ABC's mind-bending smash Lost, the whiny brat Shannon Rutherford would be the first to make the successful transition to the big screen? Credit Maggie Grace, the statuesque head turner who made the most of playing the least sympathetic character on one of the past decade’s most popular shows. Since being killed off inLost’s season two, Grace has starred in the films Taken, Knight and Day and Faster. It's true that none of her post-Lost projects have attained the same kind of popularity as that revered show, but Grace’s luck is about to change, as she takes on the role of the Bella-baiting vampire Irina in the final two installments of theTwilight franchise, due in 2011. If Maggie Grace thought Lost fans were passionate, she ain't seen nothing yet.
WHY ARIANNY CELESTE IS No.95
The UFC is known mostly for knockouts of the bone-crunching variety, but Arianny Celeste -- the most popular ring girl in the history of the sport -- is more our style. Since joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2006, Celeste’s popularity has eclipsed that of most actual fighters, culminating in her highly anticipatedPlayboy cover shoot late last year. Twice voted “Ring Girl of The Year,” the Las Vegas native has mastered the art of holding the round card above her head, which is probably why she stands miles above her lesser known colleagues. Oh, and her incredible breasts don’t hurt.
