Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly in Chicago.

Oddly I find her relatively meh in everything else. Attractive to be sure, but not as over the top fuhgeddaboutit as in that film.

Did you see her at the Oscars this year? She reprised Velma during the musical portion (I’d link but slow connection). Still hot.

I’m aware that she’s also a recording artist, and has been in other shows. I’ve only seen her in Doctor Who.

You should check out Secret Diary of a Call Girl. It’s a British series where she plays, you guessed it, a call girl.

in that same vein, there is just something about Alan Tudyk as Hoban “Wash” Washburne in Firefly, but in other movies he is just a big goof ball.

See, for me its _Zorro_ for her. In _Chicago_, notsomuch..

Even though I’m gay, his scenes with Zoe somehow make him hotter to me. There was real chemistry between those two actors.

It’s funny. I get this reaction from Jeri Ryan (7 of 9, Star Trek: Voyager).

But the logical half of my brain knew I was being shamelessly manipulated by UPN for ratings purposes. So I disliked her character because of this.

Torn between two opposites. Curse these hormones!

All good choices, especially Maggie Gylenhaal in Secretary. But my personal fave:

Liza Minelli in Cabaret, in that little one-piece leather low-cut hot pants thing. Yow.

It’s the era and the style… Renee Zellwegger was relatively boner inducing in _ **Chicago** _ and you could’ve charged 6 bucks a carload and shown the movie on her forehead .

Not only gorgeous, but the character I want to marry.

Jason Statham in The Transporter series of films. Well, pretty much any movie he’s in, but I just like his character Frank.

I would do anything for that man! 🆒
