Hollywood Actress Wallpapers and Pictures

The first beauty list of the year is now out. Online magazine AskMen.com has released their annual poll in which the website asks readers to choose an ideal mate based on `intelligence, charisma and ambition`.

The list is pretty spectacular with some of the most beautiful women in the world finding their names on it, and, since we have access to it, we bring you the 10 best!

At number 10 is Underworld star Kate Beckinsale who`s tryst with werewolf movies continues with the latest Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans.

But with a number of high-profile roles coming up this year alongside actors such as Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore and Sam Rockwell (in Everybody’s Fine), AskMen.com says `there’s little doubt that Kate Beckinsale has firmly established herself as that rare beauty who can actually act.

Kate Beckinsale was ranked number three last year, ouch!

At number nine is Heroes star Kristen Bell. With much activity in television last year, Ms Bell was noticed by an eager population of teens who wished to see `more` of her, but a drunk scriptwriter somwhere managed to kill her character off. However, with a couple of movie roles coming up this year - she sure is heading to the top!

Her rank last year was 59, wow!

Rihanna at eight! The Caribbean bombshell made an explosive entry into the world`s music scene with the hip-busting album, Music of the Sun (featuring the single Pon De Replay) and in 2007 sang what will go down as her signature track, `Umbrella`. She is also the first Barbadian artist to win a Grammy Award.

AskMen.com says, `Rihanna works with UNICEF and runs a charitable foundation that benefits terminally ill children. She’s almost too good to be true.`

Rihanna was ranked number eight last year too!

Now seven. When we watched The Horse Whisperer with 120-year-old freak of nature Robert Redford, there was little Scarlett Johansson, in a very consistent performance - playing the mentally-scarred survivor of a tragic riding accident!

And then a week later there was Scarlett Johansson leaving us hot under the collar with some serious love scenes - the evolution was simply amazing. This actress is on her way to great fame and the latest Vicky Cristina Barcelona is proof of that versatility and conviction!

Scarlette was ranked number six last year

At six is Brazil`s gift to the world, Alessandra Ambrosio. The supermodel has graced almost every fashion magazine in the world worth its thread and shows no signs of stopping - the ramp is her runway! The latest Victoria`s Secret show had her `igniting the catwalk with her unique look, a cross between the shy, doe-eyed ingenue and a woman on the verge of total world domination`.

But perhaps the most stunning is the what AskMen.com has to reveal. `Just three months before walking the runway for Victoria`s Secret, she had given birth to her first child.

She was ranked number two last year!

At number five is the gorgeous Anne Hathaway. For those who were left wanting more after the acidic The Devil wears Prada, there`s a little-known film called Havoc which had her doing stuff that could burst arteries!

Her 2008`s Rachel Getting Married seems Oscar quality and we could be seeing more of her in the days to come. Hell, legendary Tim Burton himself is hiring Hathaway as the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland (2010_.

Anne Hathaway was ranked 63 last year, talk about an appearance!

Number phwoar! She`s perhaps the most beautiful thing British. Keeley Hazel started her career as a Page 3 model for the UK tabloid The Sun. Later, her ambition took her to pages of hundreds of magazines and there seems to be no finish line for her career.

AskMen.com says, `Part of her charm is how comfortable she is with her obvious physical talents - Keeley Hazell doesn’t shy away from the undeniable truth. Instead, she embraces her beauty and has fun with it. Her bubbly personality has carried her far, and we all hope it continues to do so for some time yet.`

Keeley Hazel was ranked 13 last year!

At three is model Marissa Miller. Anyone with a subsription to Sport Illustrated will tell you why 2008 was a happy year for them. Miller sizzled on the cover of the famous magazine and then, Victoria`s Secret took notice - she`s been unstoppable ever since!

AskMen.com says, `Marisa Miller’s appeal is more than skin deep -- her awareness of just where modeling fits in the grand scheme of things (not high) is endearing, and her service as an ambassador for the American Cancer Society is admirable indeed.

Marissa Miller was ranked at nine last year.

And here comes the woman who we`ll jump off a cliff for. Megan Fox became a phenomenon overnight following her role in Tranformers and then there was that FHM shoot which disrupted Swiss rail schedules. She is arguably the hottest face in Hollywood and at just, 22, she has all the time in the world to prepare for world domination!

AskMen.com says, `With two Transformers sequels, the flick Jennifer’s Body with Amanda Seyfried and an adaptation of the comic book Fathom in the pipeline, Megan Fox is poised to conquer the world, and she will do it in her own way, on her terms.

Megan was ranked 12 last year, by some idiots!

At number one is Eva Mendes. For a short introduction, pan back to the year 2001, which saw Training Day, featuring a gloriously evil Denzel Washington and a plot that had more grit to it than a duststorm! But there were these couple of seconds towards the end of the movie many remember, the famous nude scene - which was the very first time the world experienced what Eva could do to people!

AskMen.com says, `In short, the more of her we see, the more we want. It’s no surprise, then, that Eva Mendes is the Most Desirable Woman in the World. She truly is.

Eva Mendes was ranked number four last year by some people who are now in the bottom of a pond!
