Sweet & Spicy Stars: The Women
Megan Fox isn't the only foxy female heating up the big screen this summer. From action heroines in post-apocalyptic battlefields and futuristic spaceships, to funnygirls in prehistoric times and the contemporary workplace, we bring you the 12 very sexiest actresses to knock our socks off this blockbuster-heavy summer. (Of course, you know we had to include Megan Fox.)

Zoe Saldana
'Star Trek'
She Plays: Starfleet cadet turned USS Enterprise communications officer Uhura.
Why She's Hot: No wonder Kirk and Spock both swoon: Nothing's sexier than a woman who speaks three Romulan dialects and looks like that. Saldana's background in ballet helped the lithe beauty land early roles in 'Center Stage' and 'Drumline,' but she won't need that dance experience after this summer's breakout. She'll play another interestingly named sci-fi heroine -- the Na'vi princess Neytiri -- in James Cameron's upcoming 3-D epic 'Avatar.'

Megan Fox
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'
She Plays: Mikaela Banes, Sam Witwicky's (Shia LaBeouf) way-too-hot (not to mention mechanically inclined) girlfriend
Why She's Hot: Maybe you've somehow managed to not see Fox as Mikaela, in her tiny jeans shorts, leaning over an open car hood or an ailing motorcycle? Because if you had seen her, you wouldn't be asking this question. Seriously.

Marion Cotillard
'Public Enemies'
She Plays: John Dillinger's love interest Evelyn "Billie" Frechette
Why She's Hot: Exquisite beauty? Check. Tremendous talent? Check. Academy Award winner? Check. The French actress ('La Vie En Rose') stuns alongside Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in 'Enemies,' and her stay in Hollywood looks to be a lengthy one. She'll next star opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in 'Nine,' Rob Marshall's musical follow-up to 'Chicago,' and with Leonardo DiCaprio in the Christopher Nolan-directed 'Inception.'

Moon Bloodgood
'Terminator Salvation'
She Plays: Resistance fighter Blair Williams
Why She's Hot: Even in a post-apocalyptic future as grey-hued and barren as McG's vision in this fourth installment of the man vs. machine series, it's good to know there's still some eye candy around to ease all that desolation. The quickly rising star's nude scene was cut from the film, but you can count on seeing plenty more of her in big flicks to come.

Sienna Miller
'G.I. Joe'
She Plays: The Baroness
Why She's Hot: We're tired of hearing about Miller's off-screen antics and psyched to see the normally blonde bombshell go brunette -- and badass -- to play the venomous Cobra spy Baroness Anastasia DeCobray. Sienna gained five pounds of muscle and learned how to kick-box and fire live ammo for the role -- and word on the street is she shows off all those talents in an epic fight with good-gal nemesis Scarlett (Rachel Nichols). And, no, it's not over Balthazar Getty.

Vanessa Hudgens
'Bandslam'
She Plays: A teenage rocker named Sa5m ("the 5 is silent")
Why She's Hot: Like her beau Zac Efron, Hudgens is in the delicate position of transitioning from entertaining Disney families to more mature audiences (and we don't mean "mature" as in dirty photos). Consider 'Bandslam' a rest stop on that voyage; she'll still croon for the 'HSM' faithful, while the much less Disneyfied story aims for a target crowd one demo older.

Sandra Bullock
'The Proposal'
She Plays: Margaret Tate, a workaholic executive (who happens to be Canadian) forced to fake marry her assistant to secure her job
Why She's Hot: America's Sweetheart, Bullock switches things up, playing bee-yotch to perfection, but also makes the romance seem real with her comedic timing. Oh yeah, and that sizzling hot nude scene. Enough said.

Emma Watson
'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'
She Plays: Hermione Granger, Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) best friend who happens to be a girl
Why She's Hot: Oh, dear, how to put this ... we've known Hermione on screen since she was just a wee lass (i.e., totally off limits), but now she is, er, growing up. She, Harry and Ron are still in school, but Watson is 18 -- finally! -- so we can better appreciate her budding beauty.

Diane Kruger
'Inglourious Basterds'
She Plays: Bridget von Hammersmark, a lusted after German movie star who acts as a spy for the allies
Why She's Hot: This German beauty won a Chopard Trophy at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, was hand-picked as a muse by one of fashion's most reputable names (Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel), and can now say she's worked with the iconic Tarantino. Oh, and she may also have had something to do with the more than $800 million worldwide gross of the 'National Treasure' movies.

She is so charming...i just found her on a celebs relationship club'Searching Millionaire_c o m'.her profile is very sincere with several recent pix. seem she is seriously looking for relationships according to her profile description.

couldn't get the pics to come up, but I'm guessing without even looking that most of them have never had the lead in any thing and never will ofcourse. I'm also going to guess that not one of them are over 40. And that's fine, but this attitude that women prefer old men as in the "the hottest men of summer", is what I'm referring to, real double standard here.

Megan Fox looks like a skank. Yes beautiful, but she just looks so trashy. Emma Watson is beautiful and she doesn't need those pounds of make-up. It's called natural beauty. Now you want to see her with as much make-up as Megan wears on an every-day basis? She is stunning as well.

TWOGOLFCATS - You wanted a definition of "HOT" for a woman. Here it is: Hot (Adj). (1) The combination of a remarkable beauty and a killer degree of sexiness that enables a woman to successfully ask a man with perfect credit to write bad checks; or possessing the ability to turn off a fanatical football fan's television during his team's attempt at a game-winning drive in the 4th quarter of the Superbowl, saying "Eat me, NOW" and have him skin his knees attempting to comply. (2) Megan Fox.

When they say "hot" I think they consider the whole package: beauty (and if you saw any of these women on the street in your hometown, you would think they had something special going on), brains, talent. And you know it took hard work and determination on their part to get to where they are, so just give them some slack. If these were the criteria to "hot" I think they deserve ********* cool. You people (some of you) just need to change your mindset on what "hot" means, and then you'll understand. And just because a woman is skinny, doesn't mean she had an eating disorder to get there! People can lose weight by eating healthy, and exercising if you all didn't know. Stop HATING . . . jeez.

I thought Emma Watson was a little kid. Why isn't Sara Palin on this list?
