Wow, other people think Tina Fey’s hot… I thought I was alone. That said, she isn’t in the top half of my list though. Those’d be:

Ziyi Zhang  
Halle Berry  
Stacy Keibler  
Britney Spears  
Catherine Zeta Jones  
Tiffany Amber Thiessen

I’ve given this way too much thought and have thus tried to be alittle diverse culminating in: an East Asian chick, an African American, two blondes, an exotic Welsh beauty, and a (sorta) girl-next-door.

Well, right now my top 5 are skewed, because I’m going through a major filmfest focusing on Burt Lancaster, Tommy Lee Jones, and Tom Berenger. But I don’t know if they would be considered my all-time favorites. But they are dandy, no doubt. And I just saw “Greenfingers” with Clive Owen (of [BMWFilms.com](http://BMWFilms.com) fame) and I see him having a great career ahead of him.

I’ve always been fond of Mel Gibson, and Sean Connery too. And Harrison Ford. And Brendan Fraser. Paul Gross (“Due South” fame) is nifty. And Russell Crowe is good in certain movies. And so on and so on. I never can really say who are my _favorites_. I just like movies, and movie stars. Depends on what they are in, too.
