Hollywood has, over the years seen no dearth of glamor and exquisite beauty in its celebrity ladies. However, it seems that the ladies in Hollywood named “Jessica” are not only specially blessed and endowed by lord almighty, but, are also plenty in number. Is it in the name or is it mere coincidence? There should also be no controversy over the fact that among all the Jessicas electrifying Hollywood, the ones who invariably steal the show with their enigmatic beauty and strong presence are Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel and Jessica Simpson. Ever since the three have stepped foot into the Hollywood entertainment circuit, they have not ceased to sweep fans off their feet. There are a few votes going here and there about their popularity and overall charisma as Hollywood celebrities, but, choosing one beauty over the other can become quite a daunting task.

Jessica Alba, was born Jessica Marie Alba, on April 28, 1981, in Pomona, California. She wanted to be an actress since the tiny age of five. She started taking acting classes at the age of 12 and was soon signed by an agency. In the year 1993, Jessica made her debut in the world of movies when she landed the lead protagonist’s role in the movie “Camp Nowhere.” She was soon offered plenty of roles in movies and TV commercial and became a regularly featured artist in the top Hollywood magazines. The turning point in Alba’s career was when she caught the eyes of the legendary James Cameron and bagged the lead role in the hit TV show “Dark Angel.” The fame and appreciation she received for this role took her to a higher pedestal in Hollywood and great roles in great movies regularly started coming her way. Jessica’s title role in the movie “Honey” and her performance opposite Bruce Willis in “Sin City” established her as an actor with massive potential. She became the true example of exquisite beauty with brains. Now it would be a little heartbreaking for Jessica fans to know that she recently said her vows with long-time boyfriend Cash Warren and has been blessed with a baby girl.

Taking off at age nine, she starred in huge productions such as, as “Annie”, “The Sound of Music” and “Beauty and the Beast”. With the breathtaking beauty she possessed, it was natural for her to soon turn to modeling and commercial work Jessica Biel, since then, has treaded a long journey in big bad Hollywood and proved her mettle at every step to become one of Hollywood’s most coveted actresses. Like many other stars in Hollywood, Biel’s acting skills were known to the world through her debut TV show with the Warner Brothers, named, “7th Heaven.” The show received #1 ratings and the silver screen goddess has never looked back since. With massive Hollywood hits under her belt from on, such as, “Next” opposite Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”, opposite Adam Sandler and Kevin James, Jessica Biel has proved to the world that she can do more than justice to whatever genre that comes her way.

Does the Jessica fever get better than this? I don’t think so!

Amy Winehouse Death Watch

Not too long ago Amy Winehouse could have passed for Hot in many circles. But she takes the Ol’ super model Heroine Chic look to a new level. Before you jump all over me and send me nasty messages I have a disclaimer.

“It is not my fault Amy Winehouse is a cracked out freak. Please direct your anger to the crack and the crack dealers who sell her the junk, along with any enablers who support her reckless lifestyle”

It is apparent that her crack, chain smoking, and other bad habits have caused her serious health problems. Who wants to hear Amy Winehouse sing Rehab with a Susan Estrich like smokers voice? With emphysema and 70% or less lung capacity, undoubtedly her career has come to a screeching halt.

With that said I have started an Amy Winehouse death watch poll. No I don’t want her to die, she is extremly talented and is throwing it all away. But just like the “Reality Show” Intervention, sometimes there is nothing you can do but cut the ties and let them go. So all of you fans out there should just dump her and leave her. Your support and monetary contributions (Album Sales) are only delaying the inevitable and enabling her bad behavior.

So let the betting begin. Take the death watch poll and let us know what you think. Heck even Vegas is hedging bets. But I will make it even more interesting, the first person to leave a comment at the end of this post and guesses her expiration date within five days, will get a nice fifty dollar iTunes death, Ahem… gift certificate. That of course only applies to 2008.

Who Is The Hottest Celebrity Mom?

Celebrities are not the only attention grabbing and money grappling spotlight whores. Hollywood moms can sometimes leave an impression that will have us talking about them around the water cooler. Presence often translates into dollars. And for some of these Hollywood moms, greed seems to be the ultimate motivation for exploiting their offspring to their own gain. So enough with my dissertation on the rich and ignoramus, Ahem.. famous.

Candidate number one is Dina Lohan, the washed up Radio City Rockette who has been mixed up in her own controversy and sucking the spotlight from her daughter Lindsay. Candidate number two is the one and only Kathy Hilton. She married her empire and is best known for her crazy daughter Paris and whats her name, oh Nicky (the tamer of the two). Finally candidate number three is Lynne Spears. The proud mom of the neurotic, manic, unpredictable Britney and the knocked up Jamie Lynn play thing.

So which is it, a little Lohan, a stay at the Hilton, or the double edge Spear? Cast your vote below to poke some fun at these distasteful Diva’s. I personally think the best choice is a stay at the Hilton.

Rumor has it that Rupert Murdoch has loaded up the new Fox Business anchor desk, so that it looks a bit more like a hooters staff than a news team. No complaints here! So who of these fine ladies is hottest? Vote below…

Breaking from the format here just for one post, we thought we’d draw some attention to ratemyprofessors.com’s listing of “Hottest Professors” that came out recently. And to borrow from a tech bashing site we love, this one gets a heaping helping of FAIL.

Presumably “hottest” would mean hot as in sexy, and not a single professor in the top five comes with a photo. And the only one we were able to dig up from her respective faculty site, is shown below. Either we are mis-understanding this hot list, or the students picking the winners here has a sense of humor.

The top five ladies on the list, in order, were:

1. Maria Disavino - Manhattan College
2. Lesley Yoder - Boston University
3. Heather Tierney - College of Charleston
4. Stephanie Bowers - Oregon State University
5. Peggy Ward - Wichita State

Again, none of the listings contained photos, and the only find-able one from the list above, is shown in this post. Ugh.

See the full listing here, if you even care.
