VH1's 15 Hottest Hunks
We're counting down the sexiest guys from all our shows. Lots of pics. See who took the #1 spot, and check out who topped our list of ladies
6.
..they will see that to be famous you actually had to PERFORM an icredible act of talent..otherwise..you would be bood off the stage and no interest would be given to you. The older generation did not allow to be “Spoon-Fed” crap art.
do I need to go on..to show how today’s music is controlled and really blows?? Most “artists” today (young and ignorant) can’t play and instrument and only know how to loop 4 bars together???
Most of the bands and artists listed above did not SAMPLE and had to CREATE their songs from thin air! Not told in a contract what they had to to.

If ignorant teens looked back at the history of these “BANDS” and REAL ARTISTS such as Led Zeppelin, KRAFTWERK, Billy Joel, COMMODORES, Earth Wind and Fire, BLONDIE, Fleetwood Mac, Phil Collins, Lou Rawls, Prince, Giorgio Moroder, Hall and Oates, INXS, Huey Lewis and the News, Peter Gabriel, THE POLICE, PowerStation, Queen, Chromeo, Escort, SKYY, Shalamar, PATRICE RUSHEN , GAP Band, Sugar Hill Gang, ELO, the KINKS, PINK FLOYD….
4.
The VH1 site is owned by Viacom which writes these farce blogs to make ignorant teens think they are getting real news and opinion thought. These “artists” are under corporate contract which is the ONLY reason you know they exist!!!
2.
Is probably the worst decision maker especially when it comes to motherhood or any other form of intelligent thought whatsoever.

Sand blasted
Security at Pendine was tight - we had to show passports to gain entry. The high-speed test track is set in a large area of sand dunes paradoxically full of birds and flowers.
Professor Alan Smith explains how the penetrator missiles are tested
It's a hard hat site; during the firing itself, all staff must take cover. We were actually confined to the control centre.
Earlier, we saw scientists loading instruments into the third and final penetrator to be tested.
The purpose of the test firings was to check how well the penetrators would withstand being slammed into several tonnes of sand at 1,100km/h (700mph) and whether the instruments inside would survive.
The difference between the penetrators that had already been fired and the one that had yet to be tested was striking.
The blue paint on the fired ones was scraped off and the steel nose cones were distorted.
But despite their battered appearance, Peter Truss of Qinetiq confirmed that they had done their job and protected the instruments inside: "our confidence is growing with every test".
Qinetiq not only contributed to the missile derived design of the penetrators themselves, but to the batteries and communication systems they will carry.
Ultimately, the plan will be to apply this technology to other rocky planets and moons in the Solar System, particularly to Jupiter's icy moon Europa, which may have an ocean below its frozen surface.
Other candidates include Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus.
Deep space
Until now, missions have only been able to scrape the surface of other planets.
"We're developing the technologies now to enable a much more in-depth analysis of these planetary bodies and with the increase in technology that we can apply to these problems, all sorts of possibilities open up," explained Peter Truss.

Tests on a UK-led technology at the heart of a planned Moon mission have been a spectacular success, according to the experts involved in the project.
Three penetrator missiles were fired into a sand bunker in Wales, designed to mimic the lunar surface.
Professor Alan Smith, of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, told BBC News the results had exceeded expectations.
He is a leading figure in the Moonlite mission, which hopes to fire instruments into the Moon in 2013.
A BBC team witnessed the final day of the tests at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) test site at Pendine, near Tenby.
The site has been open since 1940 but is now operated by Qinetiq, the privatised MoD spin-off company which developed the penetrator technology.
Three projectiles were tested on three consecutive days at the end of May.
They look like missiles but, rather than exploding on impact, they are designed to stay intact to protect the scientific instruments inside.

"Larry King Live"
(CNN) -- The nation's foreclosure crisis threatened a high-profile victim this week: TV legend Ed McMahon, best known as Johnny Carson's sidekick on "The Tonight Show."
Ed McMahon and his wife, Pam, talk to CNN's Larry King about their mortgage problems.
1 of 2 The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that McMahon was $644,000 in arrears on a $4.8 million loan for a home in Beverly Hills, California, and his lender had filed a notice of default.
McMahon and his wife, Pam, appeared on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Thursday night to talk about their financial woes and other topics.
Some highlights:
Larry King: What did happen, Ed?
Ed McMahon: It's a combination, it's like a perfect storm. Economy problems. Selling the house right now is a tremendous operation .... We've had this house on the market for two years. We've shown it, I don't know how many, 50 organizations or people. Nobody has made an offer. I mean, it's just a lovely home. I hate to leave it. I want to keep the home. I want this all to work out.

Educating orphans in Ranong, Thailand
I lived at the orphanage, so besides teaching four to five English classes a day, I also ate with the kids and hung out with them after school -- it was all very different from my life as a teacher in the U.S. The kids, many of whom were tsunami orphans, didn't speak a lot of English, but somehow we were able to make it work. We'd sing songs, and I'd read them stories, and I had a world map so they could learn the names of other countries. I also brought supplies like crayons and sticky notes, which they just annihilated. When you live in an orphanage, you have to abandon the notion of privacy. I tried to explain to the kids that I don't like people in my room all the time, but they didn't understand and thought I'd be scared or lonely." -- Holly Graham, 29, Boston, Massachusetts
Helping the handicapped in Siedlce, Poland
"For three weeks, I taught English at a center for both physically and mentally handicapped adults. The mornings were spent with the physically handicapped -- some of them could barely speak, and it was often very slow work. With the mentally handicapped, the mental range was very wide. Most of the time, we colored, read books, sang songs or danced ("Hokey Pokey" was their favorite). They seemed to enjoy just having someone pay attention to them. One young woman, Agnes, had a beautiful singing voice. At my good-bye party, she gave me an autographed CD of her songs. People really are the same no matter where you go. We speak different languages, but we share the same interests and concerns." -- Pat Kalicki, 71, Vienna, Illinois
Building homes in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
"Working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for five days, we built three houses. Together with the villagers, we mixed concrete by dumping the ingredients on the ground, adding water, and mixing with a shovel and our feet. Then we'd form a chain and pass buckets of concrete down to the trenches. Some of the smaller kids helped us move cinder blocks, carrying them as far as they could, just so they could participate. I've never been around that kind of poverty for an extended period. You see what people do to survive on a daily basis, and it hits home that this is their reality. You can write a check to a worthy cause, but you don't see the impact of what you've done. On service trips, you see minute-by-minute the difference you're making." -- Jared Simmons, 29, Cincinnati, Ohio
Feeding the homeless in Washington, D.C.
"On the first day at a soup kitchen, we were organized into different stations -- I chopped onions while others did salad prep. Another day, we loaded up food in vans and drove out to parks and other locations where there are a lot of homeless people, and we handed out sandwiches and soup. Volunteering changes your perspective and opens your eyes to things you weren't aware of -- like how many different kinds of people are homeless. Other students come back from spring break and talk about how drunk they were. I was talking with some of the guys from my trip, and we felt we had so much more fun. Most of the homeless are so thankful you're there, and they welcome you. They really appreciate what you're doing." -- Ryan Balding, 29, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
Treating the sick in Bamburi, KenyavTreating the sick in Bamburi, Kenya
"During our two-week trip, we dug the foundation for a school. We also set up a one-day clinic, and we saw over 1,000 people. (I'm a physician's assistant.) One of our first cases was a boy whose throat and stomach hurt. He had been eating sand and rocks because his body craved various minerals. We were able to educate him -- and many others -- on the importance of eating meat and leafy greens whenever possible. And by questioning different people, we were able to identify a specific water hole as being home to a parasite, and we told everyone to avoid it. For me, the best part was leaving something sustainable, not just a quick fix like a Band-Aid or aspirin." -- Erik Zenger, 39, Salt Lake City, Utah

Creating community in Lucky Fork, Kentucky
"Kentucky's Owsley County is one of the poorest counties in the U.S. -- there wasn't running water until the mid-1960s. Our prime project was to work with locals on a bathhouse in a church, hospital and community center complex built in the 1930s. The hope is that the community will use the buildings for events, which will bring people and income back to the area. I particularly liked that I did things with local people, not for them. Learning about their community was probably more important than the project. This trip made me appreciate how diverse our country is and helped me understand why people here have so many political and social perceptions." -- Carli MacColl, 59, Seattle, Washington

Offering care in Salvador, Brazil
"While volunteering at a compound run by nuns, I did everything from companion work with the elderly to caring for orphans to cooking and cleaning. I spent a lot of time with one wheelchair-bound woman who couldn't speak. On my last day, I started massaging her hands with moisturizer. It was such a powerful moment -- I realized that what everyone wants is to be touched and to feel emotionally connected to another human being. One of the other things I liked about my experience was that I was able to meet people from both the U.S. and abroad -- men and women from 18 to 60. I remain in touch today with several friends whom I met while I was in Salvador." -- Naomi Soffa, 37, San Francisco, California

Teaching needy kids in Kanyakumari, India
"I brought construction paper and crayons, and the kids drew animals -- it was a treat for them to have their work on the walls. I stayed at the school, in a cement room with a cot and a semi-flushing toilet. It was spartan, but not compared to how the villagers sleep, on beach mats on the floor. I was close to telling my school in America that I wouldn't return. I only spent six weeks in Kanyakumari, but it felt like years. Stories about my trip help my students back home appreciate what they have. Everyone wants the new PlayStation or cell phone -- I get caught up in that, too -- and the best way to get grounded again is by seeing how 75 percent of the world lives." -- Kelly Abbott, 33, Castro Valley, California

Angelina Jolie profile
Angelina Jolie: Best Mom Ever?
Rich Cohen’s Angelina Jolie profile (the cover story of the July issue of Vanity Fair) is one big shaming of entertainment journalists and socially conscious parents everywhere. Seriously, everyone in those respective fields needs to quit now because you will never a) write a celebrity profile as gorgeous and insightful and b) raise children as culturally literate as the Jolie-Pitts. To the latter point, Angelina explains that adopting kids from all over the world (three different continents…so far!) was “absolutely intentional”:
“When I was growing up I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents. It’s not a humanitarian thing, because I don’t see it as a sacrifice. It’s a gift. We’re all lucky to have each other.
“I look at Shiloh—because, obviously, physically, she is the one that looks like Brad and I when we were little—and say, ‘If these were our brothers and sisters, how much would we have known by the time we were six that it took into our 30s and 40s to figure out?’ I suppose I’m giving them the childhood I always wished I had.”
And not only that, her freaking stable of nannies resembles a mini-U.N.:
“We don’t ever have anybody spend the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one comes. But we do have ladies that work with us, and they’re also from different cultures and backgrounds. One lady’s a Vietnamese teacher—wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Belgium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs.”
When you are famous, you don’t have to seek out culture — it comes to you. It’s like they’re creating a microcosm of the world in their playroom. One day soon, the Jolie-Pitts will never have to leave the house again! Take that, paparazzi!

When you are famous, you don’t have to seek out culture — it comes to you. It’s like they’re creating a microcosm of the world in their playroom. One day soon, the Jolie-Pitts will never have to leave the house again! Take that, paparazzi!
Is that all?
Ummm… if there was a jury out there, I would just wear a fabulous, outrageous bikini, that would showcase all my tangible assets, grab the microphone and say, 'Listen you guys, if you do not pick up me, you are the biggest losers in the world!'
We are not interested in philosophy, theories. Give us one good reason why we should even look at you, give you a chance. Picture this, you are on sta
One's true abilities are tested when one is cut off from all support: no godfathers, boyfriends or anything. You are left with yourself, your abilities, beliefs and weaknesses. So pitch me with say someone like Sonam, but take off her famous surname, and everything else, and give me one fair chance to perform. And then judge for yourself.
Does your shelf life bother you? What if someone who is prettier, sexier, younger comes into the picture?
I consider myself no less than a warrior. If someone gets into the battlefield, I'd say, 'Awright, you think you are better than me? Show it to me'
How are you doing financially?
Quite well. I have two CAs managing my affairs. I get a nice fat cheque every month thanks to the mobile downloads and I have received my cheque for Yash Raj too.
How many times in a day do men proposition you? What is the most common line they throw at you?
Hmmm… I am not really like that….But yeah. I have had a lot of men ask me, 'Are you really as hot as you look in your wallpapers?' I say, 'I'm not giving you a demonstration!' Just because I smile, I wink or kiss, does not mean I am ready for this!
I have stopped looking for approval or inspiration from Bollywood. Look at Madonna, and how she is doing such amazing stuff, looking gorgeous at fifty. That's the kind of screen presence I want.

Certainly not to meet their mothers!
Ha ha, no, no, no! Ha ha ha ha. NO. They would only end up with a broken heart.

News about your butt surgery, lip surgery are constantly hammering the media.
There is nothing negative about enhancing your derriere. Do I have to talk about wearing blood around my neck like Angelina Jolie and talk about how many orgasms I have in a day? Is that positive and talking about my posterior isn't?
I am beginning to realise there are a bunch of people out there with a never-ending list of dos and don'ts for me. I am not interested.

What is your equation like with Prahlad Kakkar who directed you in Outrageous?
t was good until the release of Outrageous. We started getting too familiar with each other and familiarity breeds contempt. He thought my quotes were downmarket and a lot of things I said did not make sense to him. So I said, well, don’t try to change me or tell me what to do and what not to. And we parted ways.
Do you think this banner will help you?
Yeah, I am sure because already a lot of people are talking to me. I am in the process of firming up plans for my next film, Aagey Se U Turn, with T-Series. It is a comedy with my production house will produce and may have Ritesh Desmukh in it.
I have been told that I have the potential to deliver a stellar performance like Rani's in Black and look like a stunner as Bipasha in Dhoom2.

Tell us about the Yash Raj film.
cannot say much, there is Shahid in the film and I will start my workshops soon. I have a good role with a song sequence as well.
What is Dard E Sherlyn?
A notch above Outrageous about dard, diamonds, chocolate sauce, amazing visuals, my summer treat for all the young guys out there, and the oldies as well.
Where does it begin?
With my projects, my interviews, the quotes, my answers, my lifestyle…all of this will make an impact. I do not indulge in cat fights. I am a workaholic, I like designing my own projects. I designed Outrageous and now I am designing Dard E Sherlyn.
Why is it that every time one hears about you, it is about some controversy. Can you recall any instance in the recent past when something positive ha
I am misunderstood and it is okay. People's approval or disapproval doesn't matter to me. I know that some day these 'senior' journalists who have written me off, will take me seriously
Who are the women you look up to
Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie and what I like about them is that in the midst of giving these complex emotional performances, their slip may be showing, their bare assets may show, there is no difference in their expressions, they are so comfortable with it. Halle Berry for instance had this intense lovemaking scene in Monster's Ball, where they are acting just the way two adults would be in bed, and then the next moment she is back to playing Halle Berry. They are all so comfortable with nudity and being these fantastic actresses at the same time. I think it is a great combination of being a stunner and a fab actress at the same time.
Why is it that we raise an eyebrow when here is a girl in a bikini and assume she is not a great actress too? A lot of this comes from mental blocks. Why should a great performer say no to anything?

Now that you have started acting in mainstream films, would you give up posing for these downloadable pictures?
Never. I would like to die in a bikini! I have a strong attachment to what I do, I believe one needs to have loads of confidence and attitude to wear a bikini without a sarong.
While watching Race, the third lead in the film disappointed me (she is talking about Sameera Reddy). She was wearing a bikini with a sarong to hide her sins that had accumulated around her belly, the sin on her thighs. If you don't have it, don't show it, don't give a nervous breakdown to your viewers.

You are also crowned the queen of Internet downloads. What does that mean?
Well, I have been told by mobile content providers that my images are hugely popular with Internet users, and they are the most downloaded on mobiles as well. People find my images fabulous and exciting and they like to use them as wallpapers.
How many different Sherlyns are there?
Ha ha ha ha ha….
Quite a few, one Sherlyn which has not been unveiled so far, is what people will get to see once I start on my films … this will come soon

Yeah, I am like you know, 'What would Sherlyn do if she was in a wild frame of mind?' I love playing, I like exploring myself: the girly Sherlyn, the goody Sherlyn, the dark Sherlyn, the wicked Sherlyn, all of that comes out…
What signals are you sending?
a ha ha! Well, whenever I am facing the camera I love to tease, I love to play this naughty girl, teasing, flirting, seducing. In my mind I am conversing with the camera. I am like, 'So, you wanna take me to bed? So take me to bed…'
But there are other girls who can do the same - wear a bikini at the drop of a hat. What makes you any different from them?
Well, it is not just about wearing a bikini and striking a pose. It is about what comes out from your persona, it is about, 'What signals are you sending!'
Which brings us to the next question: Do you consider yourself an actress, or a pin-up star or something else?
I would say I am an all rounder.When it comes to portraying emotions I think I can do it with ease and finesse, and when it comes to wearing a bikini, I can do it at the drop of a hat.
Sherlyn Chopra gets talking about the most important things in her life
Kismat Konnection to release in July
Vivah: A journey from engagement...
Have you reconciled with your parents?My father passed away in 2005, my mother still thinks I am making a big mistake. She says, "Fear God, for all your actions", and I tell her, 'My faith is what keeps me going. I read the Bible everyday. And I remember this passage that says, let peace be your umpire!' Sometimes I feel maybe I was an adopted kid, (I have two other siblings, I'm the middle one) simply because I am so very different from my parents, my mother. We are just poles apart.How has it been in Bombay?Today I feel I can mint money all my life just being a part of the glamour world, it is not just about acting.

We are just poles apart.How has it been in Bombay?Today I feel I can mint money all my life just being a part of the glamour world, it is not just about acting.
So there was zero co-operation from your parents.
Yeah my mother wanted me to stay back and do a spa or a beauty salon like her, get married. She wanted me to pursue medicine.
They told me acting can only be a hobby not a profession, you cannot live for the rest of your life just by acting.
They told me acting can only be a hobby not a profession, you cannot live for the rest of your life just by acting.
Can you recall?
Umm… yeah, I said something like as an Indian I think Pakistan has a mental block against stretching out a hand towards friendship and unity. I did not have amazing costumes like the other contestants in all the rounds. I just had one saree to wear throughout. That was it. That gave me a lot of confidence, I was like 'okay fine, beauty is not only about chiseled features it is also confidence and how well you speak and what comes from within'. And then I told my parents I want to pursue something in the glamour field. I did not want to pursue science. Then one fine day I said I wanna go to Bollywood and then I wish to go to Hollywood. I packed my stuff -- I had a Skoda then -- drove down to Bombay, put up with some of dad's relatives. My dad was like 'No way am I helping you out.' I started calling up people and that's how it all began.
Do you remember the question?
Yes, I do. I was asked what did I think of Pakistan as an Indian and India as a Hindustani. They were stunned with my answer and I vaguely remember what I said.
No way!
!Honestly, I can show you the pictures. Surprisingly I was crowned the beauty queen. The judges were impressed with my answers.

Were you a loner?
Yeah, I guess, I guess. When somebody would ask me who is your best friend I would say my books. I was that boring. I guess I reached a point in my life when I wanted to break free and know what happens in the outside world. That's when I told my daddy I did not want to pursue medicine and not be a doctor like him. That was a huge setback for him. He thought I would take …ummm…what's that course called…Science in Junior College. But I opted for Maths, Eco and Commerce.
After two years of college I thought of participating in a beauty pageant, just like that. And when I told my parents I want to take part in the Miss Andhra pageant, they were like: 'Kaun se angle se you consider yourself a beauty queen?' Well, I said I was confident, had no stage fright and could answer well. These were my plus points. Does not matter if I was not a stunner, because at that time I was not. I weighed 60 kg, had a double chin and looked like a mum of six kids.

Why was that? Was it because of your family or the environment?
At home I would study and not interact with my siblings (brother and sister), in school the same thing. There was no social life.
When was this?
All throughout my school life and first two years of college. I was really sick of indulging in studies, not having a social life, not having friends.
How did you land up in Bombay?
As a school kid I was always into academics and all kinds of competition like elocution, recitation, drama. Every year, I would be the school topper. Then I just wanted to break free from being this studious person.
Huh?
Yeah, a kid who keeps barking about sex but never indulges in it. She keeps barking, barking, barking but never bites

Sherlyn Chopra needs no introduction to internet users. After starring in a forgettable B-grade flick called Red Swastik (as Mona Chopra), Sherlyn grabbed plenty of eyeballs with her album Outrageous directed by adman Prahlad Kakkar. When Sherlyn is not posing for provocative images, giving outrageous quotes and getting embroiled in endless controversies, (spats with producers, directors, business managers et al) she is probably shooting for a music video or getting a butt surgery done.
But Sherlyn is completely unapologetic about what she does and how she goes about it. Maybe she has got it right after all because up next for this Hyderabad girl is a Yash Raj film with Shahid Kapur.
Buzz18.com caught up with the girl with plenty of gumption, and the queen of Internet and mobile downloads, (we didn't say that, the statistics do!) as she talked and talked about what keeps her busy and happy and the monies rolling.
