PRAY FOR WHOLE MUSLIM UMMAH AND ASK HELP FROM ALLAH AND HAZRAT MUHAMMAD (SAW)
ALLAH HAFIZ
He's a man's man. He plays sports, gets the babes, sticks by his friends when it counts, and doesn't buy into the whole Hollywood ego thing. Did we mention that he's also rich, successful and as dapper as they come?Five years as Dr. Doug Ross on ER made George Clooney a household name and face virtually overnight. Lately, box-office hits such as The Perfect Storm and critically-acclaimed films such as O Brother, Where Art Thou? have helped George's star burn even brighter.
George Clooney set out to become a professional baseball player and came closer than most at making the big leagues. Good as he was, the Cincinnati Reds weren't ready to add him to their roster.
Luckily, it turns out that Mr. Clooney could run down a script much better than a fastball. He took his lumps in Hollywood, toiling away for almost 15 years before hitting the big-time with his breakthrough role has heartthrob Dr. Doug Ross on NBC's ER.
"Run for office? No. I've slept with too many women, I've done too many drugs, and I've been to too many parties." -George Clooney George Timothy Clooney was born May 6, 1961, in Lexington, Kentucky, to parents Nick, a TV newscaster and talk-show host, and Nina, a former Miss Kentucky pageant runner-up.
George Clooney set out to become a professional baseball player and came closer than most at making the big leagues. Good as he was, the Cincinnati Reds weren't ready to add him to their roster.
He has a reputation as a hard-working actor who gives every role his best shot. His films generally make for good entertainment (the ladies sure love him, but more on this later) and he gives off a "one of the boys" feel that makes even guys warm up to him. He's the kind of guy you would invite over to watch football on Sunday afternoons.
We are not quite sure exactly why this is the case, but women generally seem to love the idea of a hunky, successful doctor. Throw in a little "rebel with a cause" into the mix and you get George Clooney's ER character, Doug Ross. The ladies fell in love with him and they still swoon for him as if he really were Dr. Ross.
George Clooney doesn't just appear to be one of the boys... he is one of the boys. George is the furthest thing from a Hollywood prima donna. A few years ago, while filming one of his movies, the producers had set up two separate cafeterias: one for the stars and "VIPs" and the other for the regular staff.
Here's a guy that would look good dressed in a garbage bag. It doesn't seem to matter what he wears because he always pulls it off with flying colors. Part of the reason he's known for being such a snazzy dresser is that he doesn't deviate too far from the norm, but at the same time he isn't afraid to add his own personal touch.
Any guy that wants to educate the public about a disease that he was still battling at the time deserves our admiration. This man had cancer in his brain and lungs, but fought back to become No. 1 in his sport. He is gentlemanly and heroic; a very likeable combination.Lance Armstrong is famous for his courage. The professional cyclist fought off a life-threatening disease and graced the front page of many newspaper sports sections. He hasn't merely returned from an illness to win the Tour de France; he fought off cancer to become one of the best athletes ever.
Lance Armstrong must rate high in this category. His athletic prowess merits the recognition that he receives for his accomplishments. His founding of various charitable organizations and stature as a role model are well-documented. Armstrong is deeply embedded in North American culture and is the epitome of what the human spirit can overcome.
"I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles. But this is a hell of a race... You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people. I'll be a fan of the Tour de France for as long as I live. And there are no secrets -- this is a hard sporting event and hard work wins it." -Lance Armstrong, to his detractors, after Lance Armstrong was born September 18, 1971, in Plano, Texas. He was predominantly raised by his mother Linda, who was married and divorced twice. Armstrong grew up in the suburbs of Dallas and took part in athletics at a young age.Lance Armstrong must rate high in this category. His athletic prowess merits the recognition that he receives for his accomplishments. His founding of various charitable organizations and stature as a role model are well-documented. Armstrong is deeply embedded in North American culture and is the epitome of what the human spirit can overcome.
Lance Armstrong has the heart of a lion. It is in his makeup to never give up and always give his best. His compassion and concern for others knows no bounds. He has used his very painful battle with cancer to promote his causes. People respect Armstrong and are drawn to him by the pictures he paints.
He is a very loving guy, something that is refreshing in the modern age of spoiled athletes. Since the late '90s, his talents have been showcased for the world to see. His fellow cyclists appreciate and fear him. It is hard for a competitor to harbor any ill feelings toward Lance Armstrong.
His personality is very goal-oriented. There are very few people in the world that are as self-driven as Lance Armstrong. And with seven consecutive Tour de France victories, it's safe to say that he is the most consistent cyclist in the world.
Armstrong is well-respected by fellow cyclists. He was the first to use a type of aerobic training that aids in his conditioning for races. While other racers cycle by standing up and pushing down (which burns up your reserve carbohydrates), Lance sits and pedals in lower gears, thus giving him more oxygen. Many of his fellow cyclists are taking a serious look at Lance's training methods.
Lance Armstrong is not a man of fashion. It is rare that you will ever see a photo of him without his bicycle shorts. But when he isn't racing, he tends to be a very laid-back person. Lance wears a lot of T-shirts and is mostly in casual mode.
He has the mentality of an athlete. As such, Armstrong doesn't care too much about his appearance. He always wears his hair extremely short and doesn't appear to have any stylist dressing him, unlike many people that work in the public eye.
Our man of the week selections are based on the men's accomplishments in certain areas, such as business, sports, show business, and politics. We can't neglect the fashion industry, and if there's one man to be selected to represent his peers, it's Tom Ford. He has a remarkable business sense that would allow him to succeed in any field. “If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris,” he says.You generally don’t expect good ol’ boys from Texas to be arbiters of style, but that’s precisely what Tom Ford has become. The Austin-born fashion designer singlehandedly turned Gucci into a $4 billion brand before he became the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche. In 2006, the multitalented Ford worked hard on new designs for his own eponymous brand and toward the launch of his own store.
Tom Ford isn’t just a one-trick pony; in 2006, he seamlessly transitioned from fashion to journalism to become the guest editor and creative director for the Hollywood edition of Vanity Fair. The magazine, which featured Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson nude on the cover, drew criticism from many in the industry who took issue with the publication’s distinct lack of unclothed men. Tom handled the criticism in his usual calm, cool and collected way.
"You can only make the slit so much higher, the stiletto so much taller."
Tom Ford was born August 27, 1961, in Austin, Texas, but he spent most of his childhood years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Tom's mother was an extravagantly dressed southern belle who taught Tom the importance of proper fashion, claiming that it was disrespectful to others to be badly dressed. When Tom was 12, she bought him his first of many pairs of Gucci shoes.Tom Ford isn’t just a one-trick pony; in 2006, he seamlessly transitioned from fashion to journalism to become the guest editor and creative director for the Hollywood edition of Vanity Fair. The magazine, which featured Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson nude on the cover, drew criticism from many in the industry who took issue with the publication’s distinct lack of unclothed men. Tom handled the criticism in his usual calm, cool and collected way.
Tom Ford is the first to admit that he’s a serious person. “Fun isn’t a word I think about so much,” he says. This is hardly surprising given the duties that he has had to juggle through the years. During his time with Gucci, he was personally responsible for designing the brand’s shoes, watches, luggage, and men's and women’s wear. Despite his achievements, Ford is remarkably down-to-earth when assessing his talent and says that "there are many more talented designers than me.”
Tom Ford is living the American dream. For the past 20 years, this jet-setting designer has made millions of dollars playing dress-up with the world’s hottest models. Along the way, he has also attended A-list parties, won numerous awards, and posed with the very nude Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley. As if that’s not cool enough, he also has three houses littered around the globe. “I think of LA as my American urban experience, London as my European urban experience and Santa Fe as my country escape,” he says.
Tom Ford is a study in black and white. Whether stepping out on Rodeo Drive or attending an after-party in Paris, this suave fashion icon can always be seen in a perfectly tailored monochrome outfit. Tasteful and understated, he’s clearly mastered the art of making a statement without saying a word. "I'm lucky, I have mass-market tastes," he says. "When I say I like a shoe, generally thousands of people will like it; thank god, because I would have been a very unhappy person if I hadn't had this kind of success."
Even with a receding hairline, he comes off with enough style and slickness to supply fashion sense to thousands of mortal men.
It takes the effort of an extraordinary and talented player to take the game of soccer to new levels, and David Beckham is the kind of player who makes fans stand up.Known as the best soccer player in England, he was one of Manchester United's biggest draws before switching to Real Madrid in 2003. And he took North America by storm in 2007 when he announced his move overseas to join Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy for $250 million. A footballer with an uncanny ability to score goals and get the crowd on its feet, he's also married to former Spice Girl Victoria Adams.
David Beckham is a pop star in a soccer uniform. Not only is he married to Victoria Adams, the Spice Girl formerly known as Posh, but he is the most famous footballer in the world. He is the pretty boy, rock star and teen idol of England, even though he no longer plays for the English Premiership.
"It's scary to read things like that, you know, being the best player in England, but it gives me confidence. I'm not going to go around shouting about things that people say about me, but it's nice that they say it."
- David Beckham, on being referred to as "the new Gascoigne." David Robert Joseph Beckham was born May 2, 1975, in Leytonstone, England. As a student in Essex, Beckham won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills Award at the age of 11, making his football talent evident at an early age.David Beckham is England's answer to the Spice Girls. He is a pop star in a soccer uniform. Not only is he married to Victoria Adams, the Spice Girl formerly known as Posh, but he is England's most famous and brightest soccer player. He is the pretty boy, rock star and teen idol of the country, even though he no longer plays for the English Premiership (England's top soccer or football league).
David Beckham isn't outspoken or particularly extroverted, but his temper is almost as famous as his hairstyles, and has gotten him into a fair share of trouble.
Talent-wise, few can compare to him. But more often than not, he is quoted as the most marketable player in the world (instead of the best) because of his charisma and his enormous fan base. Without an underlying talent though, not even the world's most charismatic character would have the global appeal Beckham has.
David Beckham has one of the coolest jobs in the world. He has played in front of some of the world's most ardent fans, the Manchester United faithful, known as one of the loudest and most faithful in soccer, and has played among the brightest stars of his sport as a member of Real Madrid.
He is also revered as a fashion icon, a heartthrob and an all-around cool guy.
His wife, Victoria, was known as the most stylish of the Spice Girls, and her sense of fashion has rubbed off on David. He has gone from a simple boy, to an icon in trendy British magazines. Whenever he gets a new haircut, it's right there on the cover of every paper, and it's safe to say that he can pull off any look he chooses. Now how many athletes have become trendsetters?
He's badass, he's charming, he's an incredible actor. Clive Owen looks like he stepped right out of an East End dagger fight onto the film studio, bringing a fresh stack of authentic steely attitude to the screen. We are hip to the coolest British export since the Jaguar.Already a sensation in the UK, he won international renown in the sleeper hit Croupier, then as the deranged professor who tried to whack Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity. After donning the crown in King Arthur, he got nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in Closer, and brought justice to the apocalypse in Sin City.
Clive Owen is a manly chap. He wears sharp English suits like he was born in them, always giving out the nagging suspicion that he has a few hand cannons concealed underneath. He walks tall, talks low, and acts tough. But he's no character actor, and he makes sure everyone understands this.
"I'm quite male, but also quite sensitive -- I'm not afraid of my feminine side." -Clive Owen Clive Owen was a great student until he discovered acting. Born on October 3, 1964, in Coventry, England, the kid got top marks before playing the Artful Dodger in a production of Oliver! when he was 13. Obsessed with the craft, he couldn't keep his mind on anything else.Clive Owen is a manly chap. He wears sharp English suits like he was born in them, always giving out the nagging suspicion that he has a few hand cannons concealed underneath. He walks tall, talks low, and acts tough. But he's no character actor, and he makes sure everyone understands this.
The toughness Clive brings to his characters is entirely his, but only a man with an acute sensitivity to the world can portray the believable emotions he does. Catch him in a movie where he plays a real man with real flaws and not a beefy cartoon character and you can see why.
As someone who has sweat plenty to get where he is, Clive Owen is humble, approachable, but no less demanding about the quality of his work. In the gamut of English stereotypes, he falls squarely on the gentleman side, exuding the kind of confidence only seen in those with an unshakable belief in their craft, who have scraped through the worst and come out on top.
And despite being best-suited for playing hardened characters, Owen has shown an amazing versatility. He played a gay prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. He played an impassioned aid worker. And he played a cop who's slowly going blind. All things considered, Clive can grab a hold of a character and make him incredibly believable. The sharp threads, the steely confident gaze, and the rugged good looks usually do it. But Owen is not one to stick to the bare necessities. The man is smart, ambitious, and highly adaptable to many roles. Some women may prefer the aw-shucks bumbling charm of Hugh Grant or the androgynous boyishness of Orlando Bloom, but Clive is testosterone on tap with rough hands and a firm grip. He's the tall, dark stranger women wish would pin them against the wall to have his way with them. Clive Owen is mean. Just look at his working-class pedigree, and the fact that he hustled pool for a few years. Tell any Briton where he's from and immediately they defer with cautious respect. Even that uneven schnoz of his only adds to his ruffian cool (although it was the product of an encounter with a tree branch, but who cares about the details?).
Clive's so frosty smooth, he has only been offered awesome roles of late. And no one but the denizens of the top layers of cool are considered for the role of James Bond.
Very much the Englishman, Owen can be seen in dark, shiny suits with wide lapels and an immaculate Windsor knot. Should he wish to cut loose, he'll downgrade to a V-neck T-shirt, but keep the suit on top. An unfortunate public appearance in a polo shirt undid the magic, but he was quick to not let that happen again.
The guy is so good, so young, and with so much more ahead of him, it's a bit of a wonder why we haven't featured him before. Is there anyone in the world who wouldn't trade places with him right now?He's the most exciting thing to happen to golf since well, since golf was born! He's young, without a doubt the best player in the world and he's got his whole career ahead of him. Not to mention that he's won just about every tournament that counts this year.
Tiger Woods changed things. Like it or not, he turned the world of golf on its head. He brought new fans to the game, substantially increased the game's audience and popularity, which led to an increase in TV ratings and tournament purses. Let's not forget to mention the fact that he's setting a new precedence by completely dominating his sport in a way not seen since Wayne Gretzky in the 80's.
"Golf, as we know it, is over. It came to an end on a chamber-of-commerce Sunday evening in Las Vegas when Tiger Woods went for the upgrade: He's not just a promising young Tour pro anymore, he's an era." -Gary Van Sickle, Sports Illustrated, commenting on Tiger's talent Record breaking pro golfer Eldrick "Tiger" Woods was born on the 30th of December, 1975, the only child to parents Earl, retired lieutenant, and Kultida, of Thai descent. Earl Woods gave his son Eldrick the nickname "Tiger", after a soldier and friend of his father who was also nicknamed Tiger in his days as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army.Tiger Woods changed things.

Let's not forget to mention the fact that he's setting a new precedence by completely dominating his sport in a way not seen since Wayne Gretzky in the 80's.
Despite all his endorsements and his killer smile, Tiger is still a boy trapped in a man's body. Take away the golf clubs and the fame, and you have a foul-mouthed, skirt chaser that would make any college fraternity proud. But that is also his appeal; he is one of us, one of the boys who pretends to be a man. And when he wins a tournament, we feel like it's us out there (minus the awful swing).
He is a well-schooled boy that took more public relations courses than golf lessons. He plays the media game better than anyone as he uses his fame with the fury of a tyrant. Get on his bad side and he'll ignore you in way that would make lepers feel more loved. Not that we wouldn't do the same in his shoes, but Tiger is smart enough to know when to turn on the charm and when to be himself.
Have you seen the Nike commercial where he bounces the ball on his club like Diego Maradona dribbles a soccer ball? The talent question was answered a long time ago. Setting aside the fact that he is a bit goofy looking, women absolutely go gaga over the "Chosen One". He's young, rich, talented, and famous from here to Zimbabwe; why wouldn't they want to be around him? He made golfing cool, and turned the game into the trendy activity of the year. And we thought it was just a game for old guys with pot bellies and too much money in their pockets.
He is the best dressed guy in the PGA, but outside the golf course it seems like his mommy still dresses him. Sure, you've seen him in spreads looking stylish, but that wasn't exactly Tiger putting those ensembles together.
He's got talent tattooed all over; he's an accomplished entertainer; and a very respectable man who is more than an actor to many people. Calling him a hero might be a stretch, but his fans think he is, and if you've seen the size of some of his fans, you'd know better than to argue.Other than being one of the best actors on the face of the earth, Denzel has stayed remarkably humble. He's portrayed great men such as Malcom X and Hurricane Carter to name a few and has done the roles justice where most would surely have failed! Denzel isn't afraid to get his hands dirty by accepting smaller roles that help him hone his skills. Oh, lest we forget, he's one slick dude.
Denzel Washington is one of the world's most intense actors, the kind to always leave an impression on audiences with his performances. Not one to sit down on his laurels or cash in on his fame in action-based blockbusters, Denzel has carefully crafted for himself one of the most respectable careers in Hollywood history.
"I like talking. I like acting. Running and jumping and ducking bullets is not my idea of a good day." -Denzel Washington on his preference for performance films rather than Blockbuster action movies Denzel Washington Jr. was born in Mount Vernon, New York, on December 28, 1954. The middle child of his parents' three children, Washington grew up surrounded by fervent performances and constant storytelling.Denzel Washington is one of the world's most intense actors, the kind to always leave an impression on audiences with his performances. Not one to sit down on his laurels or cash in on his fame in action-based blockbusters, Denzel has carefully crafted for himself one of the most respectable careers in Hollywood history.
But his impact on Hollywood goes beyond just his Oscar-caliber performances; he helped pave the way for African-Americans by inspiring many of them to pursue their dream of acting. He never set out to open doors, but he did, and he has respectfully accepted that role, something we respect tremendously. Bottom line: he amazes both audiences and critics alike.
His talent is unquestionable, and his numerous Oscar nominations (and two Oscar trophies) prove this. His keen choice of films has also helped him take on high-profile movie roles. The only knock against Denzel's personality is that he isn't always the most approachable person, in fact he can be downright grumpy. But get him in a good mood, and no one will laugh harder or joke around more than he does. Women around him don't go to the euphoric lengths they do when around Brad Pitt, but good luck finding a woman who hasn't given a thought to a night with Mr. Washington. Unfortunately for the ladies, he's married, but if he can't handle all the women, we are more than willing to help out. Even his salary has finally caught up with his reputation. He has for a while been the most recognizable black actor in history, and now he is also the best paid, if not also the most respected. He's not cutting edge, he's not trendy, but he is one of those guys you'd love to chill with in a cigar lounge surrounded by supermodels. His presence makes any event cool, and that's what counts in our coolness factor.
He's a pretty conservative guy, so he never goes to public events wearing anything crazy (or made out of moose hair). He's one of Hollywood's most stylish men, and with his physique he always looks good (let's admit it guys, most of us would kill to have the kind of cut body Denzel does, okay let's not admit that particular fact).
The future is bright for Jude Law, as he is poised to become a serious contender for the title of "premier British leading man." His calm and collected demeanor, along with his talent, makes him somebody to look out for.He has set young girl's hearts aflutter on both sides of the pond. After an Oscar nomination for his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley launched him into the Hollywood constellation, Jude has proven his star status with roles in Road to Perdition and Alfie.
If you automatically think of the famous Beatles song "Hey Jude" and the 19th century novel Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy when you hear the name Jude Law, you aren't far off. Law's parents based his name on both the song and the novel. One would think that with talent and charm reminiscent of Cary Grant, Jude Law would have been playing leading roles in Hollywood earlier on in his career, rather than the more obscure roles he has chosen up until now.
A few years ago, Jude Law only appeared in artsy British film fare, but ever since he played Dickie Greenleaf in 1999's underrated The Talented Mr. Ripley, Jude has been the name to watch for. We predicted that he would become the next big leading man, and with six movies (count 'em: six) to his credit in 2004, Mr. Law is breaking all the rules.
"I throw raw vegetables at them." -Jude Law, about the paparazzi. David Jude Law was born on December 29, 1972, and grew up in Southeast London with his parents and older sister. Jude started acting at the age of 12 with the National Youth Music Theatre. At 17, he landed a recurring role on the popular British daytime soap Families, after having dropped out of school to pursue a full-time acting career. Several years later, Law was touring Europe doing stage performances.If you automatically think of the famous Beatles song "Hey Jude" and the 19th century novel Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy when you hear the name Jude Law, you aren't far off.

One would think that with talent and charm reminiscent of Cary Grant, Jude Law would have been playing leading roles in Hollywood earlier on in his career, rather than the more obscure roles he has chosen up until now.
In North America, his accent evokes charm and sophistication, but back home he is just another bloody actor. Nevertheless, he is a bloody actor with more charm than Bill Clinton and Pierce Brosnan rolled into one. Just look at him: he oozes goddamn charisma.
Jude Law has women wrapped around his finger... and why wouldn't he? His charm alone would attract the birds his way, much less his looks (who are we kidding? We can spot when someone's that lucky).
Jude is one cool dude. In fact, he is so cool that his friends call him "the fridge." Actually, we made that last one up, but it sounded pretty smart.
His good looks might give people reason to dismiss him as just another "pretty boy," but Jude takes it in stride. Jude prefers to dress a la European chic, but he is just as comfortable wearing running shoes, track pants and a cap. He dresses the part of the movie star, from his pinstriped suits to his cool bomber jackets.
Justin Timberlake began his career as a Mouseketeer in 1993 at the age of 12. He rocketed to fame as a member of the boy-band *NSYNC, and is now a major player as a solo artist in the music industry. In 2002, Timberlake released his first solo effort, Justified. The album’s critical success won him two 2004 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his hit single “Cry Me A River.” His most recent album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006) made its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in America, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Timberlake’s musical success is matched by his celebrity on the newsstands, as he appeared on the cover of GQ in August 2006 and obtained a coveted Rolling Stone cover in September 2006.
Behind the scenes In 2005, Justin Timberlake moved toward the management side of music to open his own record company, JayTee Records. In October of the same year, he was recognized for his humanitarian efforts in his home state of Tennessee by the Grammy Association.
Outside of the music industry, Timberlake keeps heavy ties to other areas of entertainment. Always a fashionable celebrity, Timberlake worked with his best friend, Trace Ayala, to open the William Rast line of clothing. He, like other famous names, also secured business in the restaurant industry, opening the Asian-inspired Chi in 2003.
On a personal note, Timberlake’s love life remains stable with the beautiful Cameron Diaz by his side. On the horizon In 2007, Timberlake will star in Black Snake Moan alongside screen veterans Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci. The controversial film covers the blues, sexual abuse and love. He will also lend his voice to the children’s market in Shrek the Third as the animated version of young King Arthur. Finally, to add to his busy schedule, Timberlake will be embarking on a large-venue tour for his 2006 FutureSex/LoveSounds album.
In the past three years, no one has dominated the NFL playoffs like Tom Brady. He has quarterbacked his New England Patriots to new heights, reviving a franchise that was thought to be going nowhere. Very few have made such an impact in the league so early, and Brady shows promise of delivering the goods for many years to come.In less than three full NFL seasons as a quarterback, Brady has led the Patriots to two Super Bowl wins. Added to his pair of championship rings are two Super Bowl MVP trophies and accolades as one of the league's best quarterbacks. With Brady at the reigns of the Patriots, there is talk of a new dynasty in the NFL.
There's talk of too much parity in the National Football League, but after seeing the New England Patriots take home the Super Bowl trophy twice in the last three seasons, we're confident a consistent winner is here to stay. Who's the man behind the magic in New England? It's Tom Brady, of course.
Though the NFL has seen backup quarterbacks become All-Stars in the past (Steve Young), none have made noise as quickly as Brady has. In 2001, he replaced an injured Drew Bledsoe and marched the Patriots through the playoffs, only to upset the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl. In 2003, after a slow start, he led his team to 15 straight wins (the second most in NFL history) and won another thrilling Super Bowl on February 1st, 2004. Quarterbacks often do not have careers like Brady's -- he has been in the league for only four years!
"Don't let other people tell you what you're capable of. As long as you believe in yourself and work hard to achieve whatever you set your mind to, you just keep plugging away. It may not be up to your timetable, but you can get it done." -Tom Brady Born in the upper-class city of San Mateo, California on August 3rd, 1977, Thomas Edward Brady, Jr. was immersed in sports at a young age. His parents and three older sisters were all heavily involved in sports, either as fans or as athletes, and passed this passion on to little Tom.There's talk of too much parity in the National Football League, but after seeing the New England Patriots take home the Super Bowl trophy twice in the last three seasons, we're confident a consistent winner is here to stay.

Quarterbacks often do not have careers like Brady's -- he has been in the league for only four years!
There's something so simple about Brady's game that makes it hard not to enjoy watching him. He does not light up the stats sheet or make the nightly highlight reel -- he simply gets the job done. This workman attitude has won him admirers across the NFL... not to mention two Super Bowl championships.
A large part of Brady's accomplishments can be attributed not to his strong arm or accurate passing, but to his calm, cool and collected demeanor. When it's crunch time, he is at his best, relaxing his teammates with nerves of steel. He has shown his mettle in dozens of come-from-behind victories, including two Super wins.
Proving that he is one of the most approachable guys in the NFL, the media has become his friend, not his enemy. He still remembers the years he spent out of the spotlight as a backup and displays the same blue-collar attitude that is adopted by most benchwarmers.
Of course, we would not be talking about Brady if he did not have the skills of an All-Pro. As one of the NFL's most efficient and intelligent quarterbacks, he knows when to throw the ball deep, dump it off in the slot, or even run with it. Tom's two Super Bowl MVP awards are proof of his value to the Patriots; without him, they would not be sitting atop the NFL today. Hey, the man's athletic, rich and has a million-dollar smile. We can't fault our girlfriends and millions of women across America for swooning over Tom. He's seen as the fresh, new face of the NFL and the fact that he has already won two championships isn't hurting his chances of conquering the opposite sex either.
Though we love Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Michael Vick, Tom Brady is the quarterback to look up to these days. When we're playing flag football with our buddies, we instinctively imagine that we've become Brady, guiding the ball to teammates with power and precision. On top of the championship rings, he has won cool cars as an MVP, brings in a fat salary, and is on the road to signing rich endorsement deals.
To match his laidback character, Tom Brady wears some fairly casual clothes. He is a fan of the typical "T-shirt and jeans" look, sometimes throwing a V-neck or pair of khakis into the mix. Though Tom is most often seen in Patriot blue and white, he has still been caught committing a few fashion faux pas. At the Super Bowl XXXVIII parade in February 2004, for instance, Brady was wearing one of the most odd, off-the-wall hats we've ever seen. If he toned down his wardrobe and tried wearing some more formal wear, we'd be down with his style as much as we are with his football skills

Jessica had the looks to make us believe she was a genetically-enhanced woman in the sci-fi hit Dark Angel, and has the body to make any guy want to go see a chick flick like Honey. Even though she's been away from the spotlight for a few years, Jessica has always been on our minds.
She may only be in her early 20s, but Jessica Alba has seen a meteoric rise in fame in a short period of time and managed to stage a successful comeback, a feat that is almost unheard of in Hollywood.
With an attitude, a chip on her shoulder and a whole lotta drive, Jessica Alba proves that she's no one-hit wonder, time and time again.
personality & talent Jessica is the antithesis of Jennifer Love Hewitt. Nice? Yes, she can be nice, but what for? How many people actually get ahead in life by being nice? Jessica is one of those women who sees ambition as a virtue.
Don't let her age fool you; she wants to be an A-list star. Her acting abilities have yet to be really tested, so you can't quote us on her talent yet, but if it's anything like the rest of her package, watch out.
natural beauty Anyone with strawberry-like lips will always score well with us. There are a million and one analogies we can use to better describe her, but why bother? She was gorgeous as a dark-haired angel, and she's even sexier with her honey-colored hair and tanned skin as a pole dancer in Sin City. It's that simple.
personal style There's only one way to describe Jessica's style: sexy. It seems that Jessica Alba has recently become very fond of low-cut, spaghetti-strap evening gowns. God bless whoever invented spaghetti-strap dresses.
Jessica knows how to dress her age, but when the occasion calls for it (like an awards ceremony or premiere), she knows how to stop traffic with a classy evening gown. And not just any evening down: a very low-cut, tight one.
We love her in anything from suits and skirts to T-shirts and jeans. But we'd really like to see her in one of the golf outfits she wears while hitting the links.
Salma Hayek has charisma and an amazing presence. Not only does she throw herself into every role she takes on, but she has the kind of determination and passion we admire in a woman. And she might just be one of the sexiest women on the planet.
Hayek has beaten the odds to become one of the most popular and well-paid Latin female stars in Hollywood, and although she has looks to kill, beauty can only take someone so far. Salma has proven that she has the goods to back up her amazing looks.
personality & talent For such a petite woman (well, height-wise at least), Salma Hayek packs quite a punch. She's a fireball in every sense of the word, and never takes no for an answer. And we mean that in a good way, because without that attitude, Salma probably wouldn't be where she is today. She had to fight in order to get the movie Frida made, and she finally took it upon herself when others refused to produce it.
Whenever she's on the late-night circuit, she's always smiling and always has an interesting story to tell. Basically, an evening with her would be anything but dull.
natural beauty From her dark hair and dark, mysterious eyes, to her amazing lips, Salma's exotic features can be attributed to her Lebanese and Mexican heritage. There isn't one thing about her that isn't perfect.
And don't get us started on her body -- the curves she displayed at the 2003 Oscars were enough to make us drool.
personal style Not that Salma even needs designer threads to look good, but when she does get dolled up in evening gowns, we are at her mercy. Whether it was the black lace number she wore to the 2003 Golden Globes or the red low-cut dress she wore to that year's Oscar ceremony, Salma Hayek boasts our favorite female figure and she knows how to display it just right.
Ever since audiences saw the trailer for The Mask of Zorro, Catherine Zeta-Jones has been in the minds of all North American males. She's a classic beauty who has proven that she can do it all: comedy, action, drama, musicals, marriage, and motherhood.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is a classic beauty who is unmatched in Hollywood. This absolutely bewitching Welsh woman stole our hearts in The Mask of Zorro, and quickly became one of America's sweethearts, right up there with fellow hotties Cameron Diaz and J.Lo.
Catherine's got it all: the undeniably gorgeous looks, the talent and the intelligence. And marrying into the Douglas family, one of Hollywood's leading dynasties, probably didn't hurt her career too much.
Catherine's got it all: the undeniably gorgeous looks, the talent and the intelligence. And marrying into the Douglas family, one of Hollywood's leading dynasties, probably didn't hurt her career too much either.
personality & talent Catherine is friendly and unpretentious. Although she has issued a warning to those who might take advantage of her "niceness." Don't mess with her, or she'll bite your head off. Ouch!
She possesses a great intellect and isn't afraid to speak her mind. During an open-air interview to promote Intolerable Cruelty (2003), she compared some men to pot-bellied pigs. We promise to regard Catherine with the utmost respect and admiration. Especially admiration
natural beauty A perfect face, deep, expressive eyes, a sensual smile, and a figure that makes her the envy of every woman. People magazine recognized this beauty several times by including Catherine in the publication's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" issue at least three times (she even graced the cover in 2001).
Catherine Zeta-Jones is considered so beautiful that she was deemed unsuitable to play famed opera singer, Maria Callas, who became insecure about her own beauty. The producers decided that Catherine's confidence in her goddess-like looks wouldn't make her believable in such a role.
personal style As if her stunning beauty, sophisticated personality, and intelligence weren't enough, Catherine Zeta-Jones knows how to choose clothes that make her even more sensational. According to critics, she wore the most elegant and sexiest dress at the 1999 Oscars, and she is always included in entertainment and fashion magazines' "Best Dressed" lists. Enough said.
Sandra Bullock is not only easy on the eyes, she's a tough cookie ready to take on any role at any time. She's funny, but in a downplayed, witty kind of way and she always looks good -- even if she's a recovering drug addict or an uncoordinated butch-turned-beauty cop.
Sandra Bullock is the epitome of the girl next door. Her spunky character and fluffy movie roles make us believe that she's only about being sweet, but there is more to her than just smiles: She is also a hypnotic beauty. Sandra's choice of movie roles may make us wonder sometimes, but they allow Sandra to be the funny girl that she is.
personality & talent It's evident that Sandra likes her privacy, but despite that she is still outgoing and friendly toward her fans. Her sweet demeanor is hypnotic and the innate charm that has made her so successful also has us deep under her spell.
natural beauty There's no denying it, Sandra is a natural beauty. Her playful expression, beautiful smile and sparkling eyes say it all. While some might find Sandra's strong jawline overpowering, we think it's gorgeous and stoic.
personal style Going with her girl-next-door persona, Sandra tends to dress conservatively most of the time. She's known to wear classic, timeless pieces to award ceremonies which are often adored by fashion critics, but are still rather drab and boring. Sandra has a great body and could wear whatever she pleases -- we want her to realize that and take some style risks
Not only is Pamela Anderson bold, beautiful, voluptuous, and drop-dead sexy, she is also an extremely smart, published author. We can't help but admire her attitude and her gorgeous body in every picture of her that we see. Plain and simple: She is a goddess.
While talent, natural beauty and professional achievements do come into play in our rating system, Pamela Anderson's physical accomplishments and charity pursuits have pushed her score way up. The notorious video of her and Tommy Lee is required viewing in order to get a feel for her natural abilities.
While talent, natural beauty and professional achievements do come into play in our rating system, Pamela Anderson's physical accomplishments and charity pursuits have pushed her score way up. The notorious video of her and Tommy Lee is required viewing in order to get a feel for her natural abilities.
personality & talent Pamela is a fun girl. Then again, any girl who has been on Baywatch seems like loads of fun to us! And she's into wild guys. Tommy Lee and Kid Rock are both known for their crazy attitudes.
Pamela Anderson is also into the "laid-back" way of thinking. Coupled with a teenage desire to be a California beach bum, she's living her life pretty much the way she envisioned it. Now, if we can only let her know that we share the same vision of life, maybe we could appear with her in an upcoming video project.
Pam may not be the most celebrated of thespians, but she can hold her own in the roles she has taken. She has improved as an actress over time, and she showed us her brain power as an author of two books and a columnist for Jane magazine.
She also scores high in the personality rating because of her charity work for animal rights with PETA and for HIV and AIDS by being a spokesperson for MAC cosmetics' AIDS fund.
natural beauty While parts of Pamela's beauty may not be 100% natural, she is one dynamite looking lady. She has got an extremely beautiful face -- we love those sultry lips and incredible eyes. But, she is definitely not natural, so she has to lose points here.
personal style We love the way she dresses, even if critics don't. Tight, slinky dresses, low-cut tops, short skirts, and hot pants. Hey, what do you expect from a former Baywatch babe and a Playboy cover girl? If you got it, flaunt it honey.
She's beautiful, eccentric and highly intelligent. She questions what goes on around her and she's not afraid to be sexual. On top of all that, she's a great actress and humanitarian.Angelina Jolie is an exotic combination of beauty, talent and deadly charm. You want to kiss her even though she may pull out a knife on you at any time -- she has a fascination with them. She is open to anything and has proven, through her diverse film career and taste in men, that she's willing to try anything at least once.And considering that she's a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations and that she has adopted children from both Cambodia and Ethiopia, it's quite obvious that she has a heart of gold to boot. personality & talent Angelina is smart. Whether you listen to her eloquently explain her motives for engaging in humanitarian work or you watch her engage in a one-on-one with Barbara Walters, you can't deny that she's a brilliant person.
She has said that the most important people in her life are her children, and that as long as they're healthy, that's all she cares about.
As for talent, Angelina has an impressive list of films in her back pocket. And of course, she has the Golden Globe and Oscar awards to prove it. natural beauty Her facial features are flawless, her breasts are perfect and her body is well-proportioned. As far as we know, Angelina hasn't mauled herself via plastic surgery just yet. She is the epitome of beauty whether she's wearing a headscarf in an African refugee camp or she's donning a designer gown on the red carpet.
personal style She showed up at the 1999 Golden Globe Awards in a white gown that no one will ever forget. She was equally stunning at the 2004 Academy Awards and at the premiere of Mr. & Mrs. Smith the following year. When Angelina wants to, she can drive her male fans absolutely crazy.
Besides being beautiful, Halle Berry has the acting chops of a Shakespearean thespian, which she proved by winning an Academy Award for her role as a lonely widow in Monster's Ball.
Halle Berry is the epitome of beauty and talent. Her incredible charm, charisma, glow, and unbelievable good looks can make any man weep for more of this actress. She initially struggled up the Hollywood food chain, but she is now a shark who is highly respected by her peers.
Halle Berry is the epitome of beauty and talent. Her incredible charm, charisma, glow, and unbelievable good looks can make any man weep for more of this actress. She initially struggled up the Hollywood food chain, but she is now a shark who is highly respected by her peers.
personality & talent Halle can be tough when she wants to be -- just like her ex-husband, baseball player David Justice, found out -- but when her soft side comes out, she is one of the most caring people around. In Hollywood, she is well known for her professionalism and tenacity.
She was brutalized in the press after her 2000 hit-and-run fiasco, but she managed to survive the incident and get on with her professional life.
And considering that Halle lost 80% of the hearing in her left ear from a physically abusive boyfriend -- who is believed to be Wesley Snipes, but which Halle never confirmed -- there's no doubt that Halle's a trooper.
natural beauty She spent most of her youth in beauty pageants, and for good reason. Play..boy named Halle among the 100 Sexiest Women of the Century in 1998, and she's been on People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World list endless times.
Her face and her physical attributes are a study in perfection.
personal style One of her greatest strengths is her style. She can dress elegantly, yet remain incredibly sexy. Whether she's chilling out in a tight top and jeans or she's at an awards show in a million-dollar dress, Halle is, without question, one of Hollywood's best-dressed women.
Jennifer Aniston was and will always be our No. 1 Friend. And forget about what the tabloids had to say about her breakup with Mr. Pitt; we love her hair, her face, her incredibly fit body, and her down-to-earth attitude.
Jennifer Aniston: girl next door or unattainable sex goddess? Jennifer has undergone many hairstyles, but she remains a classic beauty. Although she's not striking, she has an undeniable presence that makes everyone want to be her friend... or more.
personality & talent For years it seemed like Jennifer Aniston could only portray Rachel Green: A spoiled yet sweet and emotional woman who relies on her charm, beauty and physical humor to get laughs and win the hearts of millions.
natural beauty Jennifer Aniston was quoted as saying that "[she] was an unfortunate looking teenager... I never felt beautiful, ever." Maybe topping People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" list in 2004 will make her a tad more confident. Marking her fourth time on the list, Jennifer is a natural beauty.
Although her nose is slightly more prominent than that of the usual Hollywood actress, we think Jennifer Aniston is perfect, from her glowing skin to those rock-hard abs.
personal style Jennifer Aniston is a modern fashion icon. Whether she steps out in Prada, Christian Dior or Gucci, Jennifer always appears on every fashion list and ranked No. 1 on People's 2006 Best Dressed list. Even while wearing designer threads, Jennifer tends to stick to classic styles and basic colors like red, navy and black. But two dresses stick out in our minds: the black Prada one that revealed Jennifer's amazing chest, thanks to a very low-cut, plunging neckline (the dress is featured in the picture on the left), and the cream colored chiffon Christian Dior dress she wore to the Emmys in 2002.
Ironically enough, on "normal" days, Jennifer claims she's more of a "cargo pants and flip-flops" kind of gal. As for her hair, we personally love when she wears it long and wavy, as opposed to straight and short.
The consummate Latin beauty, Eva Longoria is not afraid to strut her stuff, whether the cameras are rolling or not. Her role as a sexpot on prime-time TV and her now frequent public appearances have left us so tantalized that we're longing for more.
With fellow Desperate Housewives stars Teri Hatcher and Nicollette Sheridan making news, one would think Eva Longoria would be taking a backseat to these vixens. Fortunately, male audience members have proven that they have sharp eyes and have praised Eva for being, simply, damn hot.
personality & talent Don't be fooled; Eva Longoria is not all lips, hips, breasts, and behind. Forward and blunt, Eva is unafraid to broach topics most women would shy away from. She admits to loving her vibrator (specifically, the "rabbit" and Pocket Rocket, we might add) as much as campaigning for Latino rights, all in one breath.
As delicate as she may act and seem in her pictorials, Eva is in fact strong-willed and determined. Longoria was a strong supporter of John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election and visited several swing states with the democratic party. She works with MALDEF -- Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund -- to protect the interests of work-farmers as well.
natural beauty With her long, dark hair, model-like face and curvaceous body, Eva is one wildfire we'd like to put out. She possesses the typical features of Latin women, including an appreciation of wild sex. Eva has the figure and attitude to flaunt herself like a Play..boy model, and so far, she has done just that.
personal style With her expensive taste, Eva Longoria dresses up in only the finest -- and often most revealing -- blouses and dresses. Most are brightly colored, flimsy numbers that complement her figure very nicely. As for her unmentionables, Eva admits that she doesn't even own a pair of full-bottom underwear -- she's a full-time G-string wearer. Now that's our girl...
At the 2005 Golden Globes, Teri Hatcher may have won an award, but our eyes were glued to Eva in her short black Oscar de la Renta dress. She's got the looks and style to make anyone melt on the carpet
Cindy was the first supermodel, and deserves to go down in history as one of the most desirable women of all time.
Cindy Crawford and her mole have graced more magazine covers than anyone else in the world, boasting over 600 so far. Talk about overexposure! Still, we could never get tired of this amazing beauty.
Cindy Crawford and her mole have graced more magazine covers than anyone else in the world, boasting over 600 so far. Talk about overexposure! Still, we could never get tired of this amazing beauty.
personality & talent Considering she was her high school's valedictorian and she landed a scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, it's pretty clear that Cindy was destined to be success whether or not she became a model. And not only does Cindy have her head on straight, but she has heart in the right place as well; having made leukemia a focal point of her charity work and donating proceeds from her products to the fight against cancer.
natural beauty Cindy was never a gaunt model (a la Kate Moss), and we love her full-figured athletic look, as opposed to the anorexic models we usually see. And hell, they wouldn't have put her on the cover of all those magazines if she didn't have that beautiful, unique face.
personal style How could Cindy not be stylish? It was her freakin' job as the host of MTV's House of Style to decide what was fashionable and impart her wisdom to the rest of us.
