. Especially when we’re used to seeing the lumpy checkout ladies at the grocery store and the oddly reclusive neighbour with six cats and a missing tooth.
Actresses run
the gamut from A-list sensations to D-list wannabes but no matter their level
of fame, some celebrity gals are smokin’ hot and some are just not. And of
those hotties, their looks don’t exactly match their level of talent, if there
is any at all. Looks will get anyone noticed, but to snag that coveted Emmy or
golden Oscar, you’ve gotta have the skills and the chops to garner respect from
fans, co-stars, and industry-types.
Looking good
is surely part of the game, but like everything else, they’ll eventually fade
and nobody is going to want to watch a saggy old broad on a high-definition 72”
screen with zero talent or timing.
Here is a
group of 15 undeniably s*xy and hot actresses who have questionable talent.
Well-liked? Mostly. Easy on the eyes? Definitely. The next Meryl Streep? When
hell freezes over.
Enjoy these
cute chicks in their prime, whether they are actresses who were at their peak
in decades past or are the current hotties of the moment. Model-like looks are
a blessing for these women who some may say would never have made it if they
weren’t channeling the essence of Gisele.
15. Megan Fox
With a last
name like Fox, the stunning actress was already primed to be a hot-to-trot gal
ready for the big screen. Her sultry looks have had men and teenage boys
drooling since she made her Hollywood debut, but Megan Fox’s popularity was due
to her s*x appeal and not much for her acting prowess. With films under her
belt including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jennifer’s Body, Confessions of a
Teenage Drama Queen, and Whore, it’s not exactly a surprise that the body of
work Fox was hired for lends itself to “Razzie” level acting. That said, Fox
certainly won the heart of another actor in the biz, Brian Austin Green, so at
least when she’s less attractive, she’ll still have one fan. Until then, we can
all enjoy the eye candy Fox provides on screen and give her a standing ovation
for her silky hair, porcelain skin, and hourglass figure.
14. Tara Reid
Blonde and
svelte, tanned and glowing, Tara Reid is ever the pop tart with a
girl-next-door perkiness that has been adored by the masses since we first laid
our eyes on her. Her looks were questioned for a while due to some
less-than-Beverly-Hills-level plastic surgery blunders, but it appears that
Reid is back to her lusty self and back on the screen in the wildly (and oddly)
popular Sharknado movies. Probably best known for her role in the American Pie
flicks, Reid is fun to view on the screen but she’s not exactly an acting
teacher’s pet student. Then again, when her co-star is “doing the deed” with an
apple pie, she could recite the alphabet and get at least a handful of rave
reviews for her work. While looking thinner than usual nowadays, gents still
adore Reid from head to toe. Let’s just pray she’s not the next casualty of a
future Sharknado!
13. Pamela Anderson
If running in
slow motion with one’s boobs leading the way towards the choppy ocean won
people Oscars, Pamela Anderson would have shelves upon shelves of the award
statuettes lining every room in her pricy home. But since the TV hit series,
Baywatch has never been considered much more than prime time fluff, Anderson’s
only award will be her endless stacks of Playboy magazines which show off what
viewers love most about her… her enviable bodacious body. While there is certainly
nothing wrong with flaunting what you’ve got — a gorgeous face, killer curves,
and Barbie-like platinum hair – these external attributes won’t necessarily
give a broad any acting skills that would impress the likes of a Denzel
Washington. Still, Anderson is always a delight to watch, especially when she’s
wearing nothing more than a revealing French cut red swimsuit and doing her
best to seductively administer CPR.
12. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton
certainly doesn’t need the money, so why she thought it would be a good idea to
dabble in acting is beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. That said, Hilton
isn’t shy about putting herself out there, it’s just too bad her acting skills
aren’t even close to as fabulous as her posh lifestyle. Coming from a
billionaire family, Hilton could do anything when it comes to work, but no
matter one’s fortune, the acting bug may bite ya, but it won’t necessarily make
you any good at it. When you’re cast in The Hottie and the Nottie, there’s
really only so much anyone can do to make the film legit – even the most seasoned
actress is up for a challenge. At least Hilton’s reality show with ex-friend,
Nicole Richie, showed what Hilton is best at – pretending to be an airhead when
she’s likely a lot smarter than she allows us to give her credit for. Let’s
hope Hilton sticks to her current DJ gig and her money-making business brand
and stays far from any movie set. We’d all be better off for it.
11. Elizabeth Berkley
While
Elizabeth Berkley was a teen idol from her days on the beloved and often
syndicated TV series Saved By the Bell, her adoring fans more likely enjoyed
her sheer attractiveness rather than her subpar acting abilities. Of course,
the TV show was a classic, but Zach, Kelly, Lisa, and Jessie were put on their
teen pedestals for their “adorable” factor, not their path to the Emmy awards.
Berkeley grew out of her high school hot girl/smarty-pants role and made her
way to the pole in Showgirls as an exotic dancer who revealed far more than her
personality on screen. While her acting may be questionable, her tall frame,
silky hair, model-like features, and girl-next-door s*xiness are undeniably
appreciated by many. We do not see much from the actress as of late, but we can
always find a rerun of Saved By the Bell as we surf through the channels.
10. Denise Richards
Being the ex
of the wild and wacky train wreck Charlie Sheen, is something to marvel at, but
just because one marries into (and divorces) a famous acting family doesn’t
make her any more talented. Indeed, the tanned, toned, and bronzed Denise
Richards is smoking hot, but her acting chops are more on the side of lukewarm.
The film Wild Things turned Richards into an instant s*x kitten and it was fun
to watch her in Starship Troopers, but when it comes to raw talent, hers may
lie more in motherhood than Hollywood. Scary Movie 3 was only made more frightening
by Richard’s lines, but at least we had something s*xy to look at while we
cringed not only from the acting, but the campy storyline as well. Even at age
45, Richards is still super gorgeous, so she ought to milk her s*xy looks while
she can, since falling back on acting may lead to a bump on the head.
9. Jessica Simpson
Gorgeous,
rich, and adorable. This sums up the mom of two, Jessica Simpson to a tee.
She’s been a successful recording artist, a business mogul, and the face of
many a brand seeking a youthful buyer-base for anything from cosmetics to
clothing. If only Jess stopped there. She’s done well in many areas of her
life, but sadly, most would say acting ain’t one of them. Sure, she was hot as
hell in The Dukes of Hazzard and Employee of the Month, but s*xiness does not
equal talent on screen, except for filling out her “Daisy Dukes” to utter
perfection. With all the dough Simpson now rakes in with her businesses, it
would be a shame for her to try to give it another go as a movie actress. If
her reality show with her ex-husband wasn’t telling enough, Simpson is best as
herself — goofy and naïve as she makes herself out to be. Trying to convince us
she’s the next Glenn Close is a far cry from anything worth an applause.
8. Carmen Electra
Born Tara
Leigh Patrick, Carmen Electra’s change of name not only made her seem more
intriguing, but upped her s*x appeal even further. While Electra is
electrifying, her face and body are the real hits, not her ability to kill it
on screen. Even so, Electra made her way to the big screen in films such as
Scary Movie, Disaster Movie, and Epic Movie. Anyone seeing a trend here?
Electra was a fan favourite as she showed off lots of skin on the hit TV series
Baywatch, and her spreads in Playboy found their way into millions of fellas’
bedrooms worldwide. Electra is surely a stunner, but her film career is based
more on her outward appearance than her abilities to wow the director with her
talents. While she’s still got her looks, Electra will surely get cast again,
but if ever her s*x appeal dwindles, don’t expect Hollywood to come calling.
7. Melissa Joan Hart
When you’re
best known for being a teenage witch, it is safe to say the Oscars might not be
part of your future. Sure, Melissa Joan Hart was a child success, but silly
storylines and overly bubbly acting is for kids. Guys love Hart’s all-American
good looks, lush blonde hair, and curvaceous body, but not too many consider
her to be a true Hollywood star. These days, we’ve seen Hart act on the small
screen in made for TV movies when she’s not creating clothing for kids. She’s a
hard working mom of three young boys, so the fact that she’s been able to keep
her looks up is a miracle. While Hart is still adored by fans, it’s more for
her overall likability and cuteness, not for her on-screen portrayals. Still,
it doesn’t hurt to look the part, even if the part is in a D-list production.
6. Kim Kardashian West
Kim Kardashian
West is considered to be one of the hottest babes of all time. Her bottom
itself is more famous than some people in Hollywood could ever hope to be, and
her famous family is on TV and in the gossip columns. No matter where you live
or where you look, a Kardashian, probably Kim, will appear, whether on a
billboard, in a 4-page magazine spread, or doing something fabulous on a TV
set. While Mrs. West spends lots of time filming reality TV, it’s her fictional
work that even Kanye would throw a rotten tomato at. She’s been on some TV
shows in bit parts, but even she must know her acting is as bad as a reality TV
addiction. Perhaps you’ve seen her on 30 Rock, CSI: NY, or Last Man Standing,
but as pretty as she is, her talent in the acting arena is not a pretty sight.
With so much money and other business ventures to attend to, including
motherhood, West would do us all a favour by throwing in the acting towel and
using it to wash off her layers of makeup… she’s so gorgeous that she certainly
doesn’t need it!
5. Brooke Shields
She’s been on
the Hollywood radar since she was a child, but as beautiful as she is, Brooke
Shields’ acting chops were lost somewhere on The Blue Lagoon.
Shields is totally likeable and seems to try hard, but her role on Suddenly
Susan seemed forced and not as great to watch as a still photo of
Shields would be. While Shields seems to be down-to-Earth and not self-impressed
with her naturally amazing looks, most would agree that her acting skills are
no match to her beauty. We can now see Shields hocking furniture on television
commercials, and that seems to suit her well. If she’s comfortable on a
recliner, then we would be too, especially if she comes with the delivery!
Shields is a total icon, from her days modelling skin-tight jeans to her latest
gigs for women’s television, but if she’d step back from acting or get some
better roles, for now, her hot-factor is her main attraction.
4. Hilary Duff
Guys like
Hilary Duff for her petite and perky body and adorably hot cute looks. While
some people may enjoy the fluff-type movies she gravitates toward, not too many
viewers would consider the actress an extraordinary talent. She is good for
typecasting though – those girl-next-door looks make any movie fun to watch –
and she exudes likability. Flicks such as A Cinderella Story, The
Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Beauty & the Briefcase are
great for tweens, but the academy isn’t exactly running to theaters to see what
Duff will put out next. Duff dabbles in music too and tries to show off her
sultry side, but once a McGuire, always a McGuire. She’s now a mom of a young
son and currently on the market since her split with her now ex, so Duff is
showing the fellas that even if they don’t love her films, she’s still one hot
little package.
3. Bai Ling
Exotic looks,
a killer body, the ooze of unending s*x appeal, and a knack for driving men and
women alike wild, Bai Ling is one to watch on the big screen. Not for her
advanced acting, but just to see how she moves and grooves. Ling has been
featured in movies including Wild Wild West, Love Ranch, Dumplings, and Crank:
High Voltage, and her name on the credits brought viewers to come watch, but it
was more to see the stunner in larger-than-life form than to expect to see
something Oscar-worthy. Ling is an unbelievable 50 years old now, and at half a
century, she looks as good, if not better than women half her age. Perhaps
that’s the secret to her years of success in the business. Check her out on red
carpets in skimpy ensembles or caught on camera acting flashy. Ling is one to
enjoy for her s*xiness if nothing else.
2. Jenny McCarthy
From Playboy to MTV to
her current radio show and gig hosting New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with
the rich as heck Ryan Seacrest, Jenny McCarthy has surely made a name for
herself in the public sphere. She’s perky, pretty, not afraid to tell it like
it is, and totally wild. Her blonde hair, big boobs, and fit body make McCarthy
easy on the eyes and fun to tune in to. That said, her acting gigs are no match
for the other successes she’s had over the years. Dirty Love, Scary
Movie 3, Santa Baby, and Wieners are some of
the movies she’s been in, and while they are fun for taking your mind off
things, they are no Oscar-level performances. McCarthy is a great interviewer
and seems to be well-received when she’s playing herself, but give her a role
and you’d wish it were New Year’s Eve all over again so we can see the best of
the stunner. Donnie Wahlberg stole McCarthy’s heart, but he surely loves her
attractiveness both inside and out.
1. Shannon Elizabeth
Simmering hot
looks that rival those of a cat-walking supermodel with a perfect face and body
make Shannon Elizabeth one to keep your eyes peeled open for at the movies. But
no one can have it all, so while Elizabeth was blessed in the looks department,
she was not quite as lucky when her creator was handing out decent acting
skills. We have seen the stunner in films including Tomcats and Night of the
Demons, but she’s probably best known and loved for her role in American Pie,
where her seductiveness and sexual prowess made her co-star go weak in his
knees (and other places). Elizabeth was a former model, so she’s always lead
with her appearance, but as good of a model she may have been, it just hasn’t
translated to the big screen. Good or bad, we’ll still keep watching the
beauty… she’s too hot to pass up!
