Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson top Maxim's 'Hot 100' list


According to Maxim magazine, at least this month, she's the hottest woman in the world.
The "Georgia Rule" actress-troublemaker tops the magazine's eighth annual "Hot 100" list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion.
"There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay," said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. "Her every move is watched and reported on."
Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being "obsessed" with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.
Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She's followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.
Celebrity sisters Ashlee and Jessica Simpson are on the list at No. 16 and 41, respectively. Ashley Olsen, half of the mogul acting twins, placed 37th, while sister Mary-Kate didn't make the cut.

Hilary Duff and Katherine McPhee


Z100’s Zootopia 2007 showcased a variety of musical talent at the Nassau Coliseum on Friday night (May 18). The annual summer bash, which kicked off at 7 p.m., brought out Hilary Duff and Katherine McPhee - along with Maroon 5, Rihanna, Omarion, Fergie, Daughtry, and Gym Class Heroes.
Duff and McPhee took the stage and signed autographs for awaiting fans - after clearing up some rumors that have been hanging over their respective heads.

Hilary played the show amidst gossip over the lyrics in her new song “Stranger,” which has been alleged to be a dig at her ex, Joel Madden.
Clearing the air in an Access Hollywood interview, Duff said: “I made it seem like this was a relationship that I was in, but it’s actually about my parents and about their relationship. But I didn’t want people to know that.”
Meanwhile, Katherine McPhee has also been under the microscope - with fans saying that she has abandoned her American Idol style, even going as far
as calling her a sell-out. McPhee, 23, said in her own defense: “It’s my first record. Everything you do the first time, it’s not exactly the way you want it to be. You try to not step on any toes or anything. I was like, ‘I guess this is how it goes. The producer tells you how to sing it, and if I don’t like it, this is how I have to sing it.’ When [the CD] comes out, you feel like, ‘I could have said, “No. This is not how I want to sing it.”’ Your name is on it. . . . This is ‘in control.’”

Alba Replaces Lohan


Jessica Alba has snatched up Lindsay Lohan's role in the new movie Bill, after the teen actress abruptly quit the film because the first-time directors weren't well known enough.
The movie, which also stars Aaron Eckhart and Amanda Peet, begins production tomorrow.
Lohan, 19, pulled out of the film on Tuesday, claiming she only wanted to work with big-name directors.
Alba recently worked with the producers of Bill on the movie Awake.
Lohan is already working on her next project, Georgia Rule, starring Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman.

Jessica Marie Alba was born in Pomona, California, on April 28, 1981. Jessica’s family moved to Biloxi, Mississippi while Jessica was very young. Her father, who was in the Air Force, moved the family to Del Rio, Texas, later. Eventually, the family settled in southern California when Jessica was nine. Jessica had always wanted to be an actress from the age of five. She took her first acting class at the age of 12. Shortly later, Jessica was signed by an agency.
In 1993, Jessica made her movie debut in Camp Nowhere. She was originally hired for a short time but got lucky when one of the main actresses dropped out. Jessica, who had the same color hair as the actress, eagerly took over the spot. After her first movie, Jessica appeared in two commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny and a few independent films. In 1994, she landed a reoccurring role in "The Secret World of Alex Mac." She played a snob who made life hard for the main character with magical powers. Also in 1994, she landed the role of Maya for a pilot of "Flipper." Jessica spent 1995 filming the first season of "Flipper" in Australia. Jessica is a PADI-certified diver and the "Flipper" show allowed her to have fun and play with the dolphins. The success of the first season of "Flipper" lead to the filming of the second season, which Jessica also starred in. Jessica involvement in "Flipper" lasted from 1995-1997. Since "Flipper" Jessica has appeared in a number of television shows and movies.
In 1996, Jessica appeared in Venus Rising as Young Eve. Also in 1996, she appeared in an episode of "Chicago Hope", as Maria. In 1997, Jessica appeared on the "Dini Petty Show", a Canadian talk show, and talked about her role in Flipper and her general acting career. She began working on P.U.N.K.S., featuring Randy Quaid, in 1998. P.U.N.K.S. was just recently released on video in early January, 1999.
In 1998, Jessica appeared in several TV shows for an episode or two. In early 1998, she appeared in "Brooklyn South", as Melissa. A few months later, she appeared in two episodes of "Beverly Hills 90210", as Leanne. And finally, she appeared in an episode of "Love Boat: The Next Wave." In 1999 she appeared a huge number of magazines. She had a small role in Never Been Kissed which was released in the Spring. A month later she could be found with a larger role in Idle Hands. Her two performances in those movies started a buzz in the entertainment industry. Many more magazines would come knocking on her door. Shortly after the release of those two movies, she landed the starring role in Paranoia. She finished filming Paranoia in June. The movie is in post-production now. Shortly later she started working on what will potentially be her biggest work ever. She auditioned for the leading role in Dark Angel. She caught the eye of James Cameron and will now star in the post anticipated TV show of 2000, Dark Angel. With the huge success of Dark Angel and its legion of fans, Jessica will no longer be a rising star, she will be among the hollywood elite, a star.
Jessica made a comeback in 2003 with the title role in Honey. In 2005 she appeared opposite Bruce Willis in the movie "Sin City", the down-and-dirty feature-film version of Frank Miller's popular graphic novels. Alba played Nancy, a stripper with a tortured past who's about as close to innocence as it gets in a grisly black-and-white world.
