Hollywood's Most Date-able

Not most attractive, not most successful, but most date-able.

Are all celebrities full of themselves like Jennifer Aniston and Val Kilmer? Or tantrum-tantrum-throwing like Russell Crowe and Sandra Bullock? If you ever make it big and find yourself in Hollywood, here are the down-to-earth men and women you should target.

(And yes, I do realize that this is utterly pointless. But who are you to complain about the eye candy below?)

Women

10.
Who: Elizabeth Mitchell


What: Lost, ER, The Santa Clause 2 and 3.

Why: Just watch any episode of Lost that she's in, and you'll see why. She's tough as nails, and extremely versatile. The rest of the cast say she's a joy to work with every day.

9.
Who: Anna Friel


What: Pushing Daisies, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Why: Other than being flat-out adorable, she had the intelligence to marry one of my favorite, most underrated actors, David Thewlis (aka Remus Lupin). I guess that kind of hurts her date-ability, though...

8.
Who: Hayden Panettiere

What: Heroes, Remember the Titans

Why: She's a huge activist, especially for animal rights. And she's cute, w
hich helps.





7.
Who: Emmy Rossum


What: The Phantom of the Opera, The Day After Tomorrow, Poseidon

Why: This girl has got some serious pipes! If you haven't seen Schumacher's 2004 adaptation of Phantom, you need to immediately (and not just for her voice).


6.
Who: Kristen Bell


What: Heroes, Veronica Mars

Why: She's a self-admitted geek. Who wouldn't want a girl you can watch Star Wars and re
ad Spider-man with?





5.
Who: Amy Adams


What: Enchanted, Junebug, Catch Me If You Can, Charlie Wilson's War

Why: She's probably the next Julia
Roberts. She smart and consistently makes wise career moves. Her performance in Junebug garnered her an Oscar nomination, and she deserves kudos for making a risky concept like Enchanted work so well.
4.
Who: Tina Fey


What: Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls, 30 Rock

Why: Who says dorky
can't be sexy? Fey's not just a talented actress, but a first-class writer. 30 Rock remains the best show no one's watching.

3.
Who: Natalie Portman

What: Garden State, Closer, V For Vendetta

Why: Born in Jerusalem, educated at Harvard, and multilingual in French, Hebrew, Japanese, German and Arabic. She's smart, successful, and approachable at the same time. Not to mention she somehow still looked good with a shaved head.

2.
Who: Rachel McAdams


What: The Notebook, Wedding Crashers, The Time Traveler's Wife

Why: Just watch one of her movies and see if you can keep yourself from likin
g her. A lot. Plus, she's Canadian!

1.
Who: Jenna Fischer

What: The Office, Walk Hard, Blades of Glory

Why: Don't let her bland, mild-mannered
secretary character fool you - the real Jenna is gorgeous, and a huge activist and philanthropist, and according to her Office co-stars one of the kindest people on earth. She even keeps a myspace blog to communicate with her fans.

Men


Who: Eric Bana

What: Troy, Munich, The Time Traveler's Wife

Why: Did you SEE him in Troy? I've never wanted to see someone kill Brad Pitt so much. Le
t's just all pretend like Hulk never happened, okay?



Who: Shia LaBoeuf

What: Transformers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls

Why: He's the next Tom Hanks. Period.





Who: Chris Evans

What: Cellular, Sunshine, Not Another Teen Movie, Fantastic Four

Why: He manages to be funny and cocky without being a jerk. Take that Dane Cook. Can anyone stand him anymore?





Who: Matthew Fox

What: Lost, Vantage Point, Speed Racer

Why: He's so tough it's scary. He grew up on a horse ranch in Wyoming and played football in college.





Who: Christian Bale

What: Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Prestige, Rescue Dawn

Why: He's Batman. BATMAN, I TELL YOU!




Who: John Krasinski

What: The Office, Leatherheads

Why: Nice, unassuming, and hilarious. Just pretend like License to Wed never happened, because without exaggeration, that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. So Hollywood, stop casting Dane Cook in all of these movies and give guys like Krasinski and Evans something to do.

Do you need me to rank them for you? And I demand Michael David-Stahl!

Even if he weren't Batman, Christian Bale = not too shabby. Wondering how Joel would rank them...
