“I’m excited to be seen as sexy. But not slutty.”

Why we love Jennifer Lawrence

Much like us, Jennifer Lawrence has never had acting lessons. Unlike us, Jennifer Lawrence has acted in a variety of TV shows and movies, and is a rising star in the industry. Wonder what we’re doing wrong. Maybe it’s the complete lack of natural talent and the way we look like we fell backwards out of a hedge most days. That might be it.

Jennifer started out acting in church plays in her home of Louisville, Kentucky. She persuaded her parents to take her all the way to glamorous New York to try and get into the world of showbiz, and despite that lack of training, she did pretty well. After graduating from High School early to concentrate on her acting career, her first acting gig was in the tremendously American Bill Engvall Show, about a man named – take a guess, go on – Bill Engvall, and his hi-lariously disfunctional family. The show started in 2007 and was cancelled in 2009, but Jennifer had definitely made her mark.

Since then, Jennifer Lawrence has appeared in Cold Case, Medium, Monk and has taken the lead role in the OScar nominated Winter’s Bone, a tremendously grim film about loss, mentally-ill mothers and deadbeat fathers. Lawrence is quite fantastic in it. She leaves you wrestling with duel emotions – on the one hand you want to protect her and keep her safe. But on the other hand, she’s kind of scary and seems like she could shoot you in the nuts at any moment.

Most notably, you might have seen Jennifer Lawrence as a young shapeshifting Mystique in X-Men: First Class or alongside British wunderkind Felicity Jones in inter-continental Rom Com Like Crazy. Her biggest role to date, playing the female lead in an adaptation of post-apocalyptic book The Hunger Games, is looking fairly impressive too.

What is The Hunger Games? It’s an adaptation of the wildly successful books of the same name, and it’s done fairly well too – it made over £155 million in the opening weekend. The story is set in the future, and the world has gone to hell – so to keep people placid, the evil government pick a load of kids from different districts to fight to the death live on telly. It’s a scenario that’s really not too far away -just take a look at The Biggest Loser. Jennifer Lawrence is the bow-and-arrow weilding heroine who almost definitely survives as she’s supposed to be in two more films.

“I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think you look best when you stand out.”

Why we love Selena Gomez

America has got a bit of a habit of churning out hot new talent – well what would you expect from a country the size of the whole of Europe (just about) and with a population of 309 million people? Yeah, we did our research. It doesn’t happen often, so make the most of our professionalism. Anyway, another one of those to come from the United States is Miss Selena Gomez.

According to a semi-reliable source what Selena Gomez is known best for is her role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place on the Disney Channel. Now, FHM has got to be honest, it’s never even heard of Waverly Place and doesn’t believe in wizards, so that’s not how she is best known to us. And this is our section; it’s why we love her, not why anyone else might know her. So we’re doing it our way, and we say she is best known for being adorably hot.

”But how did Selena Gomez become famous?” We hear you ask. Well, it was all down to that big purple dinosaur. Yup, Selena Gomez started out as one of the kids on Barney & Friends. Then she moved in to films with a role in a Spy Kids film. Basically Disney just kept on propelling her through kids movies, until she finally turned 18 and landed a lead role in Monte Carlo alongside Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy. This was good news, because she’s been going around looking great promoting the film ever since. Being a Disney kid, she can obviously sing, but she’s even got her own successful band. And by own, we mean it’s called Selena Gomez and the Scene.

“Jeans are just so sexy, there’s something about them that turns me on, you know?”

Why we love Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried sort of snuck up on everyone, and then decided to stamp her name all over the place. She started acting at the tender age of nine, and even did six years of modelling before stopping at 17 to concentrate on singing and acting. The latter started to take off, to the extent that her commitments saw her miss 70 school days in her final year of school. That’s a lot of fake doctor’s notes. Having done some television work, Amanda Seyfried made her film debut alongside Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls, and followed it up with a lead role (if there is such a thing) in the hyperlinked Nine Lives. A few supporting roles later and she went a little bit quiet.

Amanda Seyfried seemed to disappear on this side of the pond because she’d landed herself a role in the American drama called Big Love (commitments for which have caused her to have to miss out on plenty of other jobs, including the lead in 2011 hot-girl-fest Sucker Punch to Emily Browning). But then she made a pretty big return in the we-really-hope-your-missus-didn’t-make-you-sit-through musical romcom Mamma Mia! and things seemed to take off again.

Since then she’s been raking in lead roles all over the place – including Jennifer’s Body, Dear John and Chloe – along with being listed as one of the rising stars with one of the most beautiful faces in all sorts of pointless polls. Wait till she gets herself on our 100 Sexiest list, then she’ll know that she’s made it.

“I dance a lot.”

Why we love Alison Brie

According to IMDB, Alison Brie’s first role was Toto in a production of the Wizard of Oz at a South California Jewish Community centre. We’re not sure, but we think Toto was a dog. Isn’t that right? Strange. Perhaps they put her in a tiny dog-suit. Anyway. She also performed as a clown before she made it big, which at least goes some way towards healing our fear of clowns. Although not all the way. Never.

Alison Brie’s probably most famous for her role as Annie Edison in cult US Comedy Community, which is right at the top of our list of Shows We’re Totally Going To Watch Soon Honestly right next to Arrested Development and The Killing. We hear it’s fantastic. She’s also in super-slick smoking endorsement and occasional drama Mad Men, where she plays Trudy Campbell, and as Neve Campbell’s assistant in Scream 4 (or Scre4m, as it was officially and perhaps wrongly called). It doesn’t work out well for her – she gets killed in a garage. You might think that constitutes a spoiler, but come on, guys. It’s a Scream film. Barely anyone survives those.

But it’s not all big-budget films and AAA titles for our Alison. Oh no. Alison Brie’s appeared in a variety of shows, shorts and movies with titles ranging from the merely dubious (Dickie Smalls: From Shame to Fame) to the Syfy-Channel orientated (The Deadliest Lesson, Parasomnia) to the outright incriminating Hot Sluts – and we’re not making that up, you can look it up. Turns out it’s a comedy, so it’s fine. But do remeber that your place of work might not see it that way, don’t come crying to us when some IT snake grasses you up.

“Everything’s insane at the moment. I’m trying to combine work with doing essays on organ donations.”

Why we love Freya Mavor

We’re not going to pretend we understand Skins. Like Doctor Who, The Sugababes, and Madonna alike it seems to be able to regenerate and return looking almost completely different when parts of it become old or unappealing – we’ve gone from being partially aware that it was about shagging and drugs and the boy from About A Boy was in it to knowing precisely nothing, and getting all our information from trailers that happen to be on during the commercial breaks before, after, or during The Simpsons.

Freya Mavor is one of the current brood of Skins cast members – she plays feisty, impetuous Minerva “Mini” McGuinness, bitchy queen bee at school and on/off girlfriend to rugby boy Nick – but Freya is apparently much calmer by than her on-screen persona. Although she did skip quite a few days of school to attend the auditions, and eventually beat 8000 other hopeful teenagers to the role.

After being inspired to act by watching The Shining at the age of ten – although, really, wasn’t she a bit young to be watching a deranged Jack Nicholson hack his way through a door? – she joined the National Youth Theatre, and hasn’t looked back since. She hasn’t really had time. We imagine that being part of the confused web of lust that makes up the baseline for a standard Skins plotline is keeping her fairly busy.

Aside from Skins, Freya’s only other role to date is “Girl in Queue” in a short film called Disco, which we’re sure she was great in. But we’re sure to hear more from the Scottish starlet in the near future.

“I’ve gone for each type: the rough guy; the nerdy, sweet, lovable guy; and the slick guy. I don’t really have a type. Men in general are a good thing.”

Why we love Jennifer Aniston

When she was part of one of most successful sitcoms of all time, women wanted to copy her haircut and men wanted to steal her away from the chap who was a little too fond of dinosaurs. Since the demise of Friends, Jennifer Aniston and her tightly-toned frame are still in huge demand – movie producers will shell out $8m or more if it means she is smiling on the poster of their latest dreary rom-com.

She has been out with the full spectrum of men (chiseled actor Brad Pitt, thoughtful songwriter John Mayer, odd–looking funnyman Vince Vaughn, and even an Essex brickie), meaning there is truly hope for all of us to spend some time with one of Hollywood’s hottest commodities.

Caggie Dunlop — Chelsea Bunny

Tweet

“Having whatever you want can make choosing that much more tricky.”

Full name: Catherine Dunlop
DOB: 1989
Place of birth: Fulham, England
Occupation: Star of Made in Chelsea, aspiring musician

Caggie Dunlop facts

• Controversially, Caggie wasn’t born in Chelsea and hasn’t ever lived there, instead preferring Fulham.
• While attending The Harrodian School, twinkly vampire Robert Pattinson was her paper boy.
• She drives a clapped-out Vauxhall Corsa that “needs to have its battery disconnected and reconnected” every time she drives it. Really.

Why we love Caggie Dunlop

Caggie Dunlop is one of the tremendously posh and tremendously pretty gels from Made In Chelsea, a pseudo-reality-show in the style of The Hills where people who are much better looking and richer than you flit about in expensive cars, fall in and out of love, and drink enough champagne to drown a small, and very well-to-do, dog.

It’s not all glitz and glamour, though – when she’s filming Made in Chelsea, there’s no waiting taxi to drive her around. “It’s the tube or nothing,” she says. Poor dear.

Caggie Dunlop’s an aspiring singer – and she’s not bad, if this YouTube video of her doing an acoustic version of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way is anything to go by – and she’s rumoured to be working on an album at the moment. Her musical interests encompass everything from “Chase and Status to Edith Piaf” but she likes “finding out about unknown artists because there’s no chance of them being overplayed on the radio.” Makes sense.

Caggie Dunlop’s favourite London hangouts, according to her E4 info page, are the Thai Garden Bar and Grill, Bluebird, and Electric Cinema. So if you’re ever at one of those, keep an eye out for something singing pop covers and it might well be her. Her other interests include travel, having fantastically wealthy parents, and spending lots of money.
