Know any good secretaries? Seriously, we had to fire ours this morning, so we’re looking for a new one. You see, yesterday was Secretary’s Administrative Professionals’ Day, only our own AP had it on the calendar for today. Hence the fact that she’s now out looking for a job in this sucky economy. ‘Plex bends for no one (PAUSE).

Anyways, the reason we were so excited about APs’ Day was because we’ve been contemplating a post celebrating the little people that take dictation and serve as sounding boards for our crudest pick-up lines (we see you HR). So before we have to go defend yet another frivolous sexual harassment claim, we present the 10 Hottest Secretaries of All Time…

With Batman Begins (2005), director Christopher Nolan saved the comic hero franchise from years of camp and kitsch (and George Clooney's nipple suit). But Ayo! Scott only knows how to keep it all the way real, so let's agree that as refreshing as Nolan's darker take was, the movie had some shit on its shorts. For people who don't own Batman bed sheets, the environmentalist terrorist Ra's al Ghul was a pretty obscure and lame supervillain to kick-start the franchise with. Katie Holmes, who played opposite Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne's childhood friend and love interest Rachel Dawes, had the same chemistry and believability with Bale that she has with her heterosextraterrestrial husband Tom Cruise…

Thankfully, the sequel reams its predecessor, and every other comic-inspired movie'UGGH! RIP! SPLAT! In this installment, anarchist criminal the Joker (played masterfully by the inimitable Heath Ledger, R.I.P.) joins forces with the mob to wrestle control of Gotham City from Batman and the new, uncomprimised District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). Set in a more realistic world, the film makes the idea of two men dressed up as a bat and a clown facing off in the streets even more fucked up and fascinating. The line between good and evil, sane and bat-shit crazy is wonderfully thin.

Admittedly, Ayo! and his diabetic peepers could have used more eye candy, but Maggie Gyllenhaal is infinitely better as Dawes than Holmes was. Ayo! appreciates brains, and she is oddly alluring, even if some might say that she, Selma Blair (Hellboy II: The Golden Army), and Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man) made this the most sexless crop of summer blockbusters ever. Ultimately, cosmetically enhanced titties are unnecessary because The Dark Knight is a knocker. Go suck on it, you boobs.
