The Hottest Women Of 2010

Nicki Minaj-  This year the hip hop world was taken by storm when pop rookie Nicki Minaj appeared on the scene with her hit singles "Your Love" and "Right Through Me" , later collaborating with will.i.am on "Check It Out". The Trinidadian singer has become an instant superstar known for her colourful hair and personality.     

Rihanna- Making a comeback from a whirlwind of a year, Rihanna has managed to top the charts like she always does. Emerging from her tumultuous relationship with Chris Brown and her rebellious streak with Rated R, she made a hot comeback in engine red hair and a new corkscrew curly look. 

Emma Stone - Even though this red-headed bombshell had an early start in teen comedy flicks like Superbad and Zombieland, the launch pad of her career as an actress was on the set of Easy A. Hilarious and charming, Emma has since hosted Saturday Night Live and is in the running against Angelina Jolie for a Golden Globe Award. 

Katy Perry - It's been a jam packed year for this California girl and success is still on the rise. She went from teenage dreamin' with her new album to marrying the love of her life in a lavish wedding in India. Throw in a few Grammy nominations and a Sesame Street scandal and you've got a pop diva who never misses the spotlight.  

Christina Hendricks- Known for her buxom physique and flaming red hair, Christina Hendricks turns heads wherever she goes. Her best known role is Joan Hollaway on the hit AMC series Mad Men. Esquire magazine named her "the sexiest woman in the world" in 2010 and we agree!

Lea Michele- Every Tuesday night televisions are buzzing with the weekly soundtrack of Glee, the hit musical show in its second season and going strong. Lea Michele stars as soloist Rachel Berry and has been popular both on screen and off. A racy GQ shoot earlier this year had the entire cast making controversial headlines, but Lea's reputation as a talented actress and human rights activist is solid gold. She won a Screen Actor's Guild award and was included in Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People In The World".  

Blake Lively - From The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants to Gossip Girl, this actress and model has accomplished a lot in the past year covering a plethora of fashion magazines and starring in the third season of her hit TV show.

Kaley Cuoco - We can't forget about our favourite Geek Girl, Kaley, who is outnumbered by nerds on The Big Bang Theory as she works at The Cheesecake Factory while pursuing her dream of being an actress. Kaley has managed to climb the ladder in Hollywood this year, with a raise of $200,000 per episode and landing two new upcoming film roles.  

Lady Gaga- Eccentricity is what this lady is all about and 2010 saw it in large quantities on every stage she graced. The infamous "meat dress" at the VMA Awards was icing on the cake, but still the fans are ga-ga for Gaga and sold out her world tour in a flash.  

Betty White -  The Golden Girl actress is no stranger to Hollywood, with fame dating back to the 40s and continuing successfully over the years. White made a huge 2010 comeback, though, hosting Saturday Night Live and making cameos in various hit films and television shows, such as The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, the show Hot In Cleveland, and Tina Fey's 30  Rock. The Betty White love became somewhat of a movement over the past year and the 88-year-old actress landed herself a spot on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People Of 2010 segment. Betty has indicated that her career will be alive as long as she is, and to that we say 'kudos!'
