The first round is now complete as voting in the
Shakira Division sent the final eight stars forward into the next stage of our tournament. In a notable first,
#1 Shakira had a unanimous victory over #16 Miley Cyrus, a feat not previously accomplished in this game. Pop star rivals
#2 Britney Spears and
#6 Christina Aguilera both made easy work of their competition, as did
#8 Jake Gyllenhaal. However, top seeds #3 Zac Efron, #4 Chris Brown and #5 Usher all suffered huge losses--against cable television hottie
#14 Matthew Bomer, button-cute
#13 Hayden Panattiere, and the much desired
#12 Angelina Jolie, respectively. In our closest match-up,
#7 Nicki Minaj barely beat fellow music newbie #10 Christina Perri to advance.

With that, we now move on to
the second round of ATRL March Madness. 32 sexy celebrities still remain in contention for the title of Hollywood's Ultimate Hottie. Once again, it is
fairly evenly split by gender (17 women, 15 men) and a great majority of the field (20) have some sort of music career.
All of our #1 stars are still vying for the crown, though many of the #2, #3 and #4 seeds -- expected to go deep into the field -- are already out. Check out the update draw below (or find a larger version
