2011 Hottest Summer Stars

2011 Hottest Summer Stars

When it comes to this summer's slate, there's no shortage of sizzling stars. Here's a look at who's burning it up at the cinema!
Ryan Reynolds

The man with the washboard abs, Reynolds dons the CGI Green Lantern suit to save the day before matching up with Jason Bateman in the body-switch comedy The Change-Up. With projects lined up into 2014, the reigning "Sexiest Man Alive" is hot property, pun totally and unabashedly intended.

Jennifer Lawrence

Lawrence joined fellow mutants in X-Men: First Class this summer and in just nine months, she'll kick off a brand new, highly-anticipated franchise with the first Hunger Games movie. Hopefully Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) knows how lucky he is and is saying thanks to author Suzanne Collins.

Blake Lively

The Gossip Girl turned movie star lights up the screen opposite Ryan Reynolds in The Green Lantern. The slender blonde returns to the small screen this fall for more Gossip and during down time, can be seen playing the role of arm candy for Leonardo DiCaprio.

2010 Esquire Magazine
Ryan Gosling

To paraphrase Emma Stone in the upcoming Crazy, Stupid, Love, it's like Gosling is Photoshopped. In Crazy, the lean and extremely handsome Canadian actor helps Steve Carrell get his love life back in order all while falling helplessly in love with Stone.

2011 GQ Magazine
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Fresh off the Victoria Secrets cat-walk Rosie fills the shoes of the departed Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's co-star in the latest Transformers flick. Will she, Shia and the Autobots be able to save the day and more importantly, how does scrawny little Sam Witwicky keep reeling in the babes?!

2011 GQ Magazine
Zoe Saldana

Saldana had a pretty lengthy and successful resume before Avatar came around. Then she hit a new level of fame which is fortunate for us since she stars in the revenge driven actioner Colombiana, August 26. The petite actress will return next year in the Star Trek sequel and once again, set phasers to "stun."

2010 Esquire Magazine
Rosario Dawson

Rosario made her big screen debut talking about all things sex in 1995's controversial drama Kids. Sixteen years later, she's helping Kevin James try to win back Leslie Bibb's heart in The Zookeeper, out July 8. The curvaceous Puerto Rican/Afro-Cuban actress will round out the year opposite Channing Tatum in the drama Ten Year.

2011 German GQ Magazine
Justin Timberlake

Timberlake has a busy summer. Not only does he deal with Cameron Diaz pitching R-rated woo at him in Bad Teacher but he sets off to explore the lovely Mila Kunis in Friends with Benefits. The actor-turned-singer-turned-actor-again rounds out 2011 in the sci-fi thriller In Time opposite love interest Amanda Seyfried. Lucky guy.

2011 Playboy Magazine
Olivia Wilde

Among the reasons on why one should not enter The Grid, Olivia Wilde is not one of them. Since her turn as Quorra in the Tron sequel, Wilde has gone wild with eight movies headed to theaters, including two this summer. She'll co-star in the Jason Bateman-Ryan Reynolds comedy The Change-Up as well as walk around naked in Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens. Somewhere Mr. Skin is shaking his head at Aliens' PG-13 rating.

2011 Glamour Magazine
Emma Stone

This flamin' hot redhead (yes she's a blonde in this Elle cover shoot) has been burning up the big screen ever since she made her big screen debut in Superbad. She stars in three movies this summer, The Help, Friends with Benefits and Crazy, Stupid, Love, something her fans are McLovin'.

2011 Elle Magazine
Mila Kunis

The Ukranian bombshell blew up in the late 90s/early 2000s bossing Ashton Kutcher around on That 70's Show. Since then, life has been good for Kunis, including the chance to make out with Natalie Portman and be Justin Timberlake's, erm, beneficial friend. Friends with Benefits slides into theaters July 22.

2011 W Magazine
Chris Hemsworth

The chiseled Australian actor kicked off the summer movie season in a big way, flexing his might (and biceps) and powering Thor to over $400 million in worldwide box office success. Up next will be the horror flick penned by Joss Whedon, The Cabin in the Woods, out just in time for Halloween.

2011 Interview Magazine
Freida Pinto

Pinto instantly shot to the front of the Hollywood actress pack following her turn in multiple Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire. The bronzed 5'6 model/actress can next be seen opposite James Franco in Rise of the Planet of the Apes although one look at Pinto and apes won't be the only thing rising.

2011 Glamour Magazine
Daniel Radcliffe

The boy we all watched grow up before our eyes has aged into a dashing young gentleman. Radcliffe leads the charge in THE summer movie event, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, in theaters July 15. Radcliffe will re-appear on screen next year in The Woman in Black and can be seen on Broadway in the production of How To Succeed at Business Without Really Trying.

2011 Gotham Magazine
January Jones

Her porcelain skin and icy performance suited model turned actress January Jones perfectly in this summer's X-Men origins movie, First Class. As Emma Frost, not only could Jones perform telepathy and create illusions, but also shape-shift into a diamond form granting her superhuman strength and durability. We assure you, this milky-skinned blonde is no illusion... we think.

2011 GQ Magazine
Emma Watson

The smart know-it-all little girl of the Harry Potter trio transformed in to a beautiful young lady who helps Harry in the final Hogwarts battle and locks lips with Ron. Commence inappropriate "wand" jokes now.

2011 Vogue Magazine
Daniel Craig

The current 007 trades his Walther PPK for a wrist-gun thing in Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens. The brawny British actor is no longer on the market though after recently married actress Rachel Weisz. Sorry ladies.

2007 W Magazine
Jennifer Aniston

To say Aniston looks good at 42 (yes, 42!) is an understatement to say the least. The woman who launched countless requests for "The Rachel" hairstyle at salons, stars as a naughty dentist who spends most of the time sexually harassing Charlie Day in Horrible Bosses. As Jason Sudeikis says in the trailer, that doesn't sound so bad.

2011 Marie Claire Magazine
Chris Evans

Evans steps into the red boots and picks up the famous Captain America shield to save the day. The Boston native also stars as one of Anna Faris' former flings in What's Your Number? due out in September.

2011 GQ Magazine
Rupert Grint

Harry's BFF has gone from ginger-haired little boy to, erm, a ginger-haired young man with a string of movies awaiting him next year. But first, Grint's ever-loyal Ron Weasley joins Harry in the ultimate battle to end all wizardly battles in Deathly Hallows - Part 2. And he gets the girl - Emma Watson's Hermione Granger.

2011 Attitude Magazine
Jason Momoa

Fans of Stargate: Atlantis know Momoa as the Satedan Ronon Dex. You might also recognize him from his stints on Baywatch and Game of Thornes. One thing's for sure. You can't miss this buffed-out Hawaiian actor in the remake of the Schwarzenegger classic Conan the Barbarian, slicing and dicing its way into theaters August 19.

Emma Roberts

Aside from being Julia Roberts' niece, Emma has carved a niche of small indie films and big budget blockbusters. She recently starred in Scream 4 and then played the lead in The Art of Getting By. Her next role will be opposite Elijah Wood in the indie dramedy Celeste and Jesse Forever.

2011 Womens Health Magazine
Rachel McAdams

A mix of beauty and sweetness, McAdams burst into the mainstream and into Ryan Gosling's arms in The Notebook. The Candaian actress has since run the gamete of genres including spending some vacation-time in Paris with Owen Wilson in Woody Allen's dazzling Midnight in Paris. Following a pit stop in this winter's Sherlock Holmes sequel, she'll star in two romantic dramas next year.

2011 Elle Magazine
Sofia Vergara

The Colombian actress/model plays an executive at a French cosmetics company who bosses Neil Patrick Harris around in Smurfs (lucky guy). The woman who once said, "The girl with the biggest boobs has the most fun," appears in the ensemble New Years Eve later this year along with returning for more Modern Family this fall.
