She’s a bit young at 16–so don’t think me a perv–but AnnaSophia Robb is very pretty and talented. She was in _Bridge to Terabithia_ and also _Charlie and the Chocolate Factory_ as Violet. I think she’s got a lot of potential.

From television, I have been very impressed with Lea Michele on _Glee_. She’s 23 years old, a good actress (I’ve only seen her in her comedic role on _Glee_), and an amazing singer who’s already had success on Broadway. [And she’s hot](http://tasithoughts.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/lea.jpg).

Ms. Rue’s a cutie in my eyes, no question about that. But she also isn’t a conventional hottie – too heavy for the grinder, for one thing – and I think her success is in spite of her appearance rather than because of it.

I think Rachel Wood and Natalie Portman stand a chance.

I think she is going to be lovely when she grows up. I think she’s growing into her face, which is better than cute kids outgrowing their cute faces.
