Where You've Seen Her: Coming in at No. 3 on this year's Hot 100 List, Zoe Saldana has come a long way since her big-screen debut as a sassy ballerina in Center Stage. Most notably, the actress has been steaming up sci-fi blockbusters with her roles as Nyota Uhura in Star Trek and Neytiri in Avatar. She returned to planet Earth in 2010 to appear in the comedy Death and a Funeral and the action flick The Losers. This weekend, Zoe will no doubt rule the box office as her new action movie Takers and a re-released, extended version of Avatar both arrive in theaters. We're torn: While we're psyched to see Zoe in the flesh in her new heist flick, the promise of a sex-traterrestrial Avatar extended scene is also enticing.

An Out-of-This-World Bod: "I thought [Avatar director James Cameron] did a really good job of putting Neytiri together. I thanked him for making her look hot. I mean, Neytiri is very sexy and lean with a really cut bod. I'm in pretty good shape, but I don't look that buff." - Parade
