Guide to Hollywood sex symbols

Every year, people look at billions and billions of celebrity pictures on MSN Entertainment. Billions and billions. It's like Carl Sagan's "billions and billions of stars" thing, only with earthbound... more stars instead of cosmic ones. Not surprisingly, the constellation of popular star images doesn't include the likes of poor Steve Buscemi.

Sure, he's a good actor. But he's missing that certain something that makes our mortal jaws drop. Say it with us: sex appeal.

What's That Noise? Oh Yes ... the Screen Siren

Like the ancient Greeks who put their shapely goddesses on the Parthenon, or the Italians who had their Renaissance nudes, we love our Hollywood women for the way they combine beauty with sex appeal and raise it to the level of the divine.

Hollywood's sexiest women are more than just beautiful. They're also confident, strong and knowing, which is a thousand times more alluring than mere beauty. If the Greeks and Italians could have memorialized their goddesses on film, they would have. Lucky us; ours are already there.
