let's just say that you hit it out of the park with this one. Everything about the photo works and beyonce looks fly as hell! (except for that stomach maybe. Mami needs to tone that **** up.)

i have always been a huge fan of lucy liu, and this picture really displays her gorgeousness and quiet sexuality well. But just the fact beammeup got her name wrong tells me that she's not as big of a star as i wish she were.
3. Katy perry

all-around decent effort. I love katy's come-hither glance and pin-up vibe. The photo is just missing that extra spark for me, though.

fierce? Sort of. Sexy? Hell no. In fact, this picture bores to me tears. Considering jessica alba is an actress who has built her entire career on her looks, you couldn't find anything better? Next.
5. Kerli

i like kerli, but i can't honestly say i find her all that pretty. Still, this picture exudes a great sexy pin-up vibe (much like katy perry's) that more than makes up for her face. I just wish i could give you a higher score on star power, but sadly, "walking on air" never really took off...
6. Padma lakshmi

wow, i have never been so attracted to padma lakshmi in my life! Unfortunately, the picture does almost border into that sleazy territory; the sexiness of padma really overpowers the rest of the shot.
7. Keira knightley

average= 4.7
is this really your idea of "sexy"? Because all i can see are keira's collarbones jutting out at me and it's kind of freaking me out. And you couldn't find me a better picture than this one? The dress is pretty ugly and all those awkward old people in the background are a major turn-off. Overall, an incredibly disappointing entry.
8. Tia carrere

the great thing about this shot is how sexy tia looks without even trying. The bad thing is how cheap and fake everything looks (fortunately for you, she overpowers that aspect). Still, her career highlight came in the early '90s with "wayne's world." what has she even done lately, besides lose on "dancing with the stars"?
9. Belinda

i'm sorry, but this shot is not good. It's bad enough how ugly that outfit is (though at least the silver dress is pretty fierce). But your girl looks like she just smelled a fart! Why would i be attracted to that? Now, if i cut off her head, the pose is actually okay. Nevertheless, i'm still left wondering who the hell this is (pardon my ignorance).
10. Kylie minoque

apart from the dead eyes, this photo of kylie is actually pretty sexy. But i have to take some points off for the fact that it's literally of very bad quality.
bad asses

it's hard to deny that megan fox has a banging body. But in this photo, i can just feel her contempt emanating at me through the computer screen. Sorry, but i don't find that attractive. There is definitely a major disconnect between her head (side note: That hair is styled terribly!) and the rest of the photo.
2. Namie amuro
sexiness 10
starpower 2
quality 10
average= 7.3
this is how to do a photo right! It's stylish, edgy and effortlessly sexy. It might be my favorite photo submitted by any competitor this round. Now if i only knew who namie amuro is...
3. Heidi klum

in reality, heidi emanates a sophisticated, glamorous sexy here. But you submitted a damn red carpet photo as well! Heidi is a supermodel - a challenge like this made for her!
4. Leona lewis

quality= 6.7
i wanted to like this photo, i really did. But that hand... And that upturned head... Leona just looks so awkward! Still the styling and art direction of the photo are pretty cool.
5. Lee hyori
sexiness 8
starpower 2
quality 6
average= 5.3
now, this is what we call "trying too hard." whereas padma lakshmi just toed the line of sexy and sleazy, this photo jumps right past that boundary - and not even in a good way! Again, i can tell that lee hyori isn't a nobody, but i have no idea who she is.
6. Elisa najera
sexiness 8
starpower 1
quality 8
average= 5.7
okay, so this girl has a sick body, but she's kind of a butterface (maybe it's just the angles in this shot that aren't working for her). Overall, it's a pretty solid photo. But who is this?!
7. Doda
sexiness 7
starpower 1
quality 7
average= 5
the styling and design of this photo shoot are fine, but doda looks so uncomfortable. I can tell she's a gorgeous girl with an amazing body, but she's making me feel like a pervert for even looking at her. Again, she could be some nameless model for all i know.
8. Ashanti

the photo itself isn't much of anything, but damn, ashanti is doing all the right things. Sadly, her celebrity status has seen much better days...
9. Freida pinto

normally, i find freida pinto incredibly sexy. But this photo is all kinds of cheesy and weird. (seriously, what is up with that globe?)

*submission penalty
i'm surprised by how much i like this shot (and the more i stare, the more i like it). There seem to be a lot of levels going on, too. Sure, nicole is looking incredibly hot. But there's also a subtle fragility shining through, as though she is laying herself bare for us, and i find that element sexiest of all.
Team with most culturally diverse entries=
both teams are pretty diverse, but i like the good guys' photos a lot better, so i'm giving the bonus to them.
