Full Name: Emily Olivia Leah Blunt D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 23/2/83 (+1) Nationality: English Character Ref: Elise Sellas (The Adjustment Bureau) Notes: Discovered by an agent while attending a 6th Form college in Surrey. Her father is one of the highest-profile barristers in the UK; her paternal uncle is a conservative MP for Reigate. Used to date Michael Bublé (got a lotta love for ol' Mickey Bubbles); now married to Jim "Big Tuna" Halpert from the US version of the Office, John Krasinski. Must-see Moment: The archetypal English Rose seemed to start off playing bit-parts in US movies, usually as the annoying receptionist or mental best friend - strangely less attractive in those.... But I found her pretty darn hot as a ballet dancing smart-arse in 'The Adjustment Bureau', a film which my friend Andy described as "...a challenging film that makes you ask deep questions, such as 'who that?', 'what's happening?' and 'Eh?!'..."
LOOKS: 8.5 (just look at that photo...wow.) PERSONALITY: 7.4 WIFEABILITY: 3.7 X-FACTOR: 6.9
Full Name: Katherine Heigl D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 24/11/78 (+6) Nationality: American Character Ref: She's only really played one character.... Notes: She's the girl all girls can associate with. Apparently. Started her career as a child model. Raised a in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Hopes to "...find [her] way back to Mormonism when [she] gets older and a little less selfish." Must-see Moment: Any of the films where she plays a loveable but luckless-in-love thirtysomething who just wants to meet the man of her dreams and settle down. She's basically a female me in 10 years. Strangely, although she is breathtakingly beautiful, it's a kind of 'quiet pretty' that it's taken me a few chick-flicks to fully appreciate. I don't wanna oversell her; she's an easy 7 but a potential 8. I can't believe I typed that. What kind of shallow chauvinist have I become?!!
Full Name: Laura Prepon D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 7/3/80 (+4) Nationality: American Character Ref: Donna Pinciotti (That '70s Show) Notes: Was in hit indie flick 'Slackers'. Currently lives in New Jersey (well that's one reason to go there...). Voiced a character in Halo 2 ("Red Headed Marine In Tunnel" - I remember her well....). Seems to have done a lot of Maxim (but then when you look like THAT why wouldn't you??). Currently co-habiting with Christopher Masterson (Francis from Malcolm In The Middle). Must-see Moment: Looks beautiful as a blonde, but won my heart as the redhead nextdoor during, well, every single episode of That '70s Show. Panties! Glorious panties!!
Full Name: Taylor Alison Swift D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 13/12/89 (-5) Nationality: American Character Ref: Herself Notes: Country-pop singer-songwriter and apparently actress. No, I muse admit, she was pretty funny on SNL, and in that terrible RomCom my cinema club friends forced me to watch. She's pretty talented, and dammit if her songs aren't just that little bit catchy. Especially that one about Romeo & Juliet - makes me wanna pump my fist.
Raised as a Baptist - now we're getting somewhere. Wrote a 350-page novel over the summer holidays when she was 12. She's got that 'there's something about that girl but i can't quite put my finger on it' look about her. That I like. Must-see Moment: Being basically attacked by Kanye West. No sorry, that wasn't funny. Well it was, but I felt really sorry for her. Her other great moment was dancing like a lunatic in that terrible movie (which Google has just informed me was called 'Valentine's Day' - I just called it 'The Film With All The Beautiful Women In It' which I think would have helped it sell more tickets but hey, hindsight's 20/20....)
Full Name: Lyndsy Marie Fonseca D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 7/1/87 (-3) Nationality: American Character Ref: Katie Deauxma - Kick-Ass Notes: Seems to be a standard child-actress story. Born in B.F. Nowhere, Middle-America, moved to LA to film a pilot aged only 13. Also plays Ted's daughter on the hilarious US sitcom I totally missed the boat on, 'How I Met Your Mother'. Must-see Moment: Seem to remember some point with pyjamas in Kick-Ass that made me forget about superheroes....
So here we are. Hot Trumps' second ever *SPECIAL*, and I don't think there's anyone more deserving than the beautiful, talented, hilarious Miss Ellen Page. With Zooey off and married and being all musically successful etc (not that I'm at all bitter), I think this little lady might just pip her to my own personal top spot at the moment. Of course, none of the 'Trumps' are in any sort of rank order, and I'll keep my own top 10 to myself...
Full Name: Ellen Philpotts-Page D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 21/2/87 (-3) Nationality: Canadian
Character Ref: Juno MacGuff - Juno Notes: I first saw Ellen portraying pedophile-hunting vigilante Hayley Stark in Hard Candy (2005) in which she was amazing (the bits I could watch, anyway....). Quite a baptism of fire, especially for someone as young as she was; there was probably a risk of her being typecast into roles in 'serious' movies. Luckily, she seemed to want to go on to more light hearted and comedic roles. To then go on to play a mutant, a pregnant teen and a roller-derby queen is more than impressive. According to Wiki, which is of course an irrefutable source of evidence, as a child she enjoyed playing with action figures and climbing trees. It's this tomboy nature combined with her animated acting style and sometimes graceful womanly charm that really caught my attention. That, and the quirky, independent, confident roles she seems to have played in recent times. That's pretty much all I want in a girl. Amazing.
Must-see Moment: 'Whipping it' in the movie, er, 'Whip It'. Which also features some of my other favourite actresses/comediennes (Wiiiiig!!).
BONUS ELLEN PIC:
She sports one of the most beautiful wry-smiles I've ever seen. She was hilarious and amazing on SNL, and therefore hilarious and amazing in real life.
She seems to know what she wants in life, at least as far as the movie roles she accepts, and is about as far removed from her 'Hollywood' peers (Lohan, et al) as it's possible to get, which can only be a good thing.
Probably more likely to be found at a Broken Social Scene gig than some sleazy LA club.
I'd love to spend a day with her exploring the museums and galleries of some city, or maybe jamming out on some 80s-era synths, or just kicking back watching a Seinfeld marathon....
Right after I finished this post I discovered the Google/YouTube 'Search Stories' feature. With memories of Ellen still running around my head, and fully expecting somebody to take legal action, I made this:
Full Name: Kari Elizabeth Byron D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 18/12/74 (+10) Nationality: American
Character Ref: Her beautiful, intelligent, charismatic self! Notes: The ultimate geek-girlfriend?? She's an artist by trade, but is best known for her role as one of Discovery Channel's 'MythBusters'. She's married and just gave birth to a daughter (2009). Must-see Moment:THAT Diet Coke & Mentos FHM shoot. Incidentally, a similar scene was observed all over the world after the issue's release, as thousands of teenage geeks brains simultaneously erupted through their various face holes.....
LOOKS: 7.9 PERSONALITY: 8.6 WIFEABILITY: 5.0 (Married. And she's a vegetarian. DEALBREAKER.) X-FACTOR: 7.0
Full Name: Rashida Leah Jones D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 25/2/76 (+8) Nationality: American
Character Ref: Karen Filippelli - The Office (US) Notes: Actress, model, musician. Daughter of music legend Quincy Jones!! Raised in Bel-Air. Was going to be sister-in-law to legendary rapper Tupac Shakur, but the wedding was suddenly cancelled - not quite sure what happened there.... Dated Tobey Maguire; then got engaged to Mark Ronson in 2003 but neither took. Has also dated Seth "SNL" Meyers and John "Jim Halpert" Krasinsky. Is now dating Jon Faveau (no, not THAT Jon Favreau...). Phew, this girl gets around Hollywood (and I mean that in the least insulting way possible....). Must-see Moment: She's hilarious and beautiful putting up with the equally hilarious Paul Rudd in 'I Love You Man'.
Firstly, just take a minute to bask in the beauty.....
wow.....
Full Name: Emilie de Ravin D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 27/12/81 (+3) Nationality: Australian
Character Ref: Claire Littleton - Lost Notes: French ancestry; 'de Ravin' means 'from the ravine'. Took ballet in her childhood. Was cast to star in the movie version of Onimusha..... Did get married but is now filing for divorce. And I'm trying my absolute hardest not to be happy about that. Must-see Moment: Starred as a dead girl in Rian Johnson's brilliant 'Brick' (2005), but tugs at the heartstrings just right as pregnant castaway Claire in Lost. I shouted 'you idiot!' at my TV when Charlie's drug problems caused their relationship to crash and burn....
Full Name: Nicole Evangeline Lilly D.o.B.(+/- Pea): 3/8/79 (+5) Nationality: Canadian
Character Ref: Kate "Freckles" Austen - Lost Notes: Born into a devout Christian family, she briefly served as a foreign missionary in the Philippines. Speaks French. Once had a job as a flight attendant (with Royal Airlines, not Oceanic...).
Wikipedia reckons she's '...known on the Lost set for being a tom-boy, Christian and 'potty-mouth'...' - pretty much my ideal woman then.... Must-see Moment: Looks great in a dress - see Season 3....
Character Ref - The character that first sparked my attention.
Notes - Any other contributing factors.
Must-see Moment - What to watch for more...
LOOKS - Hopefully self-explanatory...
PERSONALITY - Usually refers to the Character Ref's personality, unless media coverage can allow us to ascertain a more accurate idea of the Trump's real life attributes.
WIFEABILITY - The real life likelihood of being able to marry the Trump - graded by location, any knowledge of values, current romantic involvements etc...
X-FACTOR - The little spark that you can't quite define that makes the subject stand out from the crowd.
Please note that while I 'grade' the entries, all Trumps are exceedingly beautiful, talented, exciting women in their own rights and their values shouldn't be taken out of context. Phew.
About the 'game'....
This game has nothing to do with severe flatulence.
Neither is it about objectifying women.
Okay, maybe it is a little... but it's objectifying their greatest and most admirable traits in the most respectful way possible. They are our mothers. They are our sisters. They are our daughters. And, for a lucky few, they are our shorties, our boos, our biznitches. I mean, er, beautiful and devoted wives.......
Seriously though, I (Peanut) have this well-documented thing for Hollywood girls. I also have a well-documented love of neatly organised lists, so this is like my hot girl nirvana.
