World Wide Wednesday: The 10 Hottest Polish Women

intern — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:25:23 +0000

Expecting a lot of dumb Polish blonde jokes? Sorry to disappoint, but the only stupid we’re talking here is stupid hot. As we discovered while paying tribute to the finest dime pieces in Poland, it’s very common for women there to pose without any clothes on. We only wish more American women would get on that Pole! Oh, so many ways to take that. While you ponder, take this list of unbelievably hot Polish women, the 10 hottest in the country, to be exact.

10. IZABELLA MIKO
Claim to fame: A model, actress, and onetime ballerina, Miko is best known for playing one of the half naked dancing bartenders in Coyote Ugly. We’d do a double shot off her at least!

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Jamaican Women

intern — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:26:58 +0000

Besides Red Stripe, reggae music, Appleton Rum and Usain Bolt, there’s another export that Jamaica can be equally proud of: women. The island nation that celebrated its 47th year of independence this past August has been minting dimes since before Bob Marley was wailing. We feel it’s only right that we finally give the Caribbean island its own Worldwide Wednesday.

We were going to wait for Bolt to break another record, but we learned today that he’s up for the 2009 International Association of Athletics Athlete of the Year award, so we said eff it. Besides, all this cold weather has us pining for some tropical love. Keep reading to see the 9 Hottest Jamaican Women. This ones for you, Usain!

9. APRIL JACKSON
Claim to fame: After graduating at the, ahem, head of her class, this beauty went on to become Miss Jamaica Universe in 2008.

World Series Wednesday: New York Girls vs. Philly Girls

bfred — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:47:35 +0000

Which city wins the World Series of Women—NY or Philly?

The Yankees and Phillies kick off the 2009 World Series tonight and resume a bitter rivalry between their cities (relevant on a national scale once upon a time, Philly is very, very bitter that New York is the shit worldwide). Baseball alone is enough to bring out the hate Philadelphians and New Yorkers feel for each other, so wait until we put their women up against each other. Check out the head-to-head match-ups between NYC and Philly natives and help us decide which city takes the trophy for hottest women…

RAPPERS:
Nicki Minaj (New York) vs. Eve (Philadelphia)
• Eve is the former stripper, and yet it’s Minaj who has our foul pole dancin’. Sure, Eve is way more established in the game, and may have the better career numbers when all’s said and done, but D-D-D-DAMN!—Nicki has an ass that could seat a whole ball club comfortably!
Advantage: New York

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

SINGERS:
Alicia Keys (New York) vs. Pink (Philadelphia)
• Like pink colorways of team caps, Pink is kind of cute. That’s fine if you’re a little girl, but we’re some very childish grown-ass men here at Complex. Speaking of grown asses, what’s fucking with Keys’ sultry, sexy, steroidally thick power-hitting bottom half? Us, that’s what! Mitchell Commission be damned!
Advantage: New York

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

ACTORS:
Scarlett Johansson (New York) vs. Kat Dennings (Philadelphia)
• The far more hilarious and personable Dennings, who grew up in the Philly suburb of Bryn Mawr, would have a strong grip on this match-up but she’s under-utilizing her rosin bags. Scar-Jo, on the other hand, has mastered the sacrifice squeeze, which is an undeniable winning strategy. Get it? We’re talking about titties, which really should be taken out to the ball game.
Advantage: New York

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

40-SOMETHINGS:
Marisa Tomei (New York) vs. Maria Bello (Philadelphia)
• Both of these 40-something actresses are damn fine and do nudity (Tomei recently in The Wrestler and Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead; Bello in A History of Violence) but only one of them has done full frontal. Marisa, if you don’t show us there’s grass on the field, how can we play ball?
Advantage: Philadelphia

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

TABLOID QUEENS
Lindsey Lohan (New York) vs. Amber Rose (Philadelphia)
• If this were 2004 and Lohan were fresh off of Mean Girls, there’s a good chance she’d be shutting Rose out, but it’s ‘09, and Amber is one of the best switch-hitters in the game. Plus, leathery Li-Lo’s looking more and more like an old catcher’s mitt.
Advantage: Philadelphia

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Egyptian Women

intern — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:16:10 +0000

Well, it’s official, Egypt is facing Tanzania in the last round of World Cup Qualifying. The African champs have to win this one to get into the big dance this summer, so the stakes are higher. We’re not too sure how the pre-cup point system works, but since soccer is 90 minutes of dudes running around the field in short-shorts (and sometimes off the field. Yeah, we’re looking at you, Ronaldo) we figured we’d scope out some possible cheerleaders for the face off. Let’s be honest, you probably don’t know much about soccer and you probably know just as little about Egypt. But, thankfully, you know what hot chicks look like. So without further adieu, we present the 9 Hottest Egyptian women…Score!

9. SUMAYA EL KHASHAB
Claim to fame: Apparently this actress/designer has been putting in work in both fields for a while. Good looks, older, and successful? That’s enough to get her a future Wifey Hall of Fame nod.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 12 Hottest Colombian Women

intern — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:49:58 +0000

Colombia has long been known for its addicting exports—take our recent Sofia Vergara tribute as evidence. With that said, we figured its time to introduce you to the rest of Colombia’s finest to over-indulge yourself with.

Besides, with the American release of Shakira’s new album She Wolf pushed back a couple weeks, we need to get our daily fix somehow. So allow us to cure your withdrawal with our latest edition of Worldwide Wednesday (click here for the interactive map). Let’s admit it, Colombia’s coffee isn’t the only thing keeping us up at night…

12. FANNY LÚ
Claim to Fame: She’s quite the knowledgeable pop singer, having studied in France and having returned to Latin America to finish college. We wouldn’t mind picking her brain sometime.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 12 Hottest International Cougars

intern — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:07:17 +0000

We used to wait anxiously for our favorite underage starlets to come of age (*cough* Hermione *cough*), but with cougar fever reaching epidemic levels, now it’s the reverse: We’re circling the dates when women turn 40 and hit that middle-aged sweet spot. At age 45, Courteney Cox has been on our radar for a few years now, so with tonight’s premiere of her new show Cougar Town (Wednesdays, 9:30 p.m. on ABC), we’re thinking it’s about time we paid tribute to the other cougars from around the world. Read on to see our international roster of 40-something treats…

NAME: Araceli Gonzalez
COUNTRY: Argentina
D.O.B: June 19, 1967 (Age 42!)
CLAIM TO FAME: She currently plays Gabriela Solís in Amas de Casa Desesperadas but we’re more interested in how fly she continues to look in a bikini.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Nigerian Women

prubin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:00:11 +0000

In our time doing Worldwide Wednesday, we’ve traveled to nearly every area on this big blue marble of ours: Australia, South America, the Caribbean, East Africa, the list goes on. But when we opened the newspaper this morning and saw that Nigerian militants had extended their cease-fire, we said to ourselves, “Finally, a threadbare excuse to gawk at pictures of beautiful West African women!” And gawk we did, to the tune of an ennead of pulchritude (two words at 50 cents a word, that’ll be a dollar…) that makes us want to jump a flight to Lagos right quick and introduce some ladies to our own Lagos, nahmeridian?

9. ABIOLA BASHORUN
Claim to Fame: Miss Nigeria 2006 first came to prominence as the winner of something called Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria, which of course is short for “Most Beautiful Girl In Nigera Is Pleased To Inform You That You Have Inherited $30,000,000.”

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Swedish Women

prubin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 21:06:58 +0000

Today we learned that Swedish car maker Koenigsegg teamed up with Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co, Ltd. to purchase Saab from GM. You remember them, right? Onetime automotive titan, now owned by the federal government? Anyway. Seismic shifts in the industrial world are cool and all, but what’s being overlooked in all this is that cars aren’t even what Sweden does best. Neither is self-assembled MDF furniture, or meatballs (ayo!), or even peace prizes. No, where Sweden really excels is statuesque blonde women who are sexually confident and smoking hot. Need proof? Just peep the latest Worldwide Wednesday installment as we jet to the land of the Midnight Sun…

#9: THE SWEDISH BIKINI TEAM
CLAIM TO FAME: No, not the American models who played Swedes in the Old Milwaukee commercials of the early ’90s–the honest-to-goodness Scandinavian sirens who make their mothers proud in criminally cheesy B-movies.

Today is the 64th anniversary of Vietnam’s independence from France. Hooray decolonization! We’re all for peace, freedom, and all that hippie stuff, but we’re more into beautiful foreign women. What, you thought ‘Nam was only good for Agent Orange and Vietcong? Pho outta here, son! Check out Complex’s pick of the 9 hottest Vietnamese women for today’s edition of Worldwide Wednesday…

#9: HOANG THUY LINH
CLAIM TO FAME: This famous TV personality got caught on a scandalous sex tape. Go ahead, we’ll still be here.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 10 Hottest Multiracial Women

intern — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:18:34 +0000

Every week in our Worldwide Wednesday post, Complex pays tribute to the cornucopia of women from around the globe. We try our best to represent all nationalities and ethnicities, but there’s one crucial group of women we haven’t focused on yet that everyone can agree on: multiracial women. Globalization never looked so good!

See, in the future, everyone will be multiracial. But for now, we’ll have to appreciate these pioneering dimes, who all have ancestors from multiple continents. Since one of our favorite chicks Cassie—who is African-American, Mexican, West Indian and Filipino—turns 23 today, we thought it would be a fitting time to pay tribute to this often-overlooked sub-set of sexy. Throw on your pro-miscegenation t-shirts, pull up a chair and enjoy our picks for The 10 Hottest Multiracial Women…

#10: ESTHER BAXTER
ETHNICITY: African-American, Norwegian, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Indian.
CLAIM TO FAME: The green eyed video model shot to fame after her feature in Petey Pablo’s “Freek-A-Leek” video back in 2004. She was also featured in Ludacris’s “Number One Spot,” Nelly’s “Shake Ya Tailfeather” and Kanye West’s “The New Workout Plan.” Then all of a sudden she decided to get all serious on us and retired in 2007 at the age of 22 to attend college and (we assume) prepare for her recent Complex 7 Interview.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Florida Women

intern — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:05:14 +0000

Yesterday we were shocked to hear the news that the population of Florida dropped for the first time in 63 years. The reason for our alarm? Well, aside from our passion for studying intra-national migration patterns, we thought: “Gee whiz, alligators, overly courteous drivers, and spirited teenagers: what’s not to love about the Sunshine State?”

Seriously though, Florida doesn’t have an income tax, and it’s a great place to take your boo. And if you don’t have a boo, maybe you can head south and hook up with one of the 9 Hottest Florida Women…

#9: MICHELLE MCCOOL
CLAIM TO FAME: This WWE Diva and Women’s Champion has the best body in Tallahassee. It goes without saying that we’d endure multiple suplexes (supli?) for just one night in McCool.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Pakistani Women

intern — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:42:49 +0000

This Friday, August 14th, marks Pakistan’s 62nd year as an Independent state free from the United Kingdom. But if you watched CNN, Fox News or MSNBC (maybe BBC) you wouldn’t know that due to all the turmoil that’s been plaguing the Muslim-majority nation—US missile strikes, Taliban militant attacks, etc.

But, whatever, we don’t want to air the country’s dirty laundry at time when Pakistanis are celebrating everything that’s great about their nation. We want to join in on the recognition in our own special, Complex way. To help celebrate their Independence Day, we’ve put together a list of the 9 hottest Pakistani women to ever do… anything. It won’t help bring about peace, but looking at them can surely ease your mind for a couple minutes…

#9: DEEYAH
CLAIM TO FAME: Dubbed the “Muslim Madonna”, this Punjabi singer, composer and human rights activist came under fire from Muslims for her provocative style of dress and her supposed negative influence on young Muslim women. Now all she has to do is swap spit with a couple musicians and athletes and the American Madonna would be proud.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Ethiopian Women

intern — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:20:13 +0000

After a year’s worth of Worldwide Wednesday, we’ve finally done it, folks. The big one. The country with the longest history of human development in all of Africa. The place that spawned a dozen ’80s charity pop songs and twice as many tasteless jokes that used “a grain of rice” as a punchline. Yes, welcome our newest guest, Ethiopia! We don’t really know exactly what’s popping in the East African nation besides swarms of bugs and ungodly heat, but we’re guessing that one of them is hot women. What this country can’t do with stability, they make up for in the lady dept. So here we go again, the dopest Ethiopians (and now the world around us begins moving in slow motion when)…

#9: JIITU ABRAHAM
CLAIM TO FAME: Smarts and good looks? No wonder this girl was Miss Ethiopia World 2005. Jiitu is the Senior English Language Anchor on an Ethiopian News Program that airs in Washington, home to a sizable Ethiopian community that we’re sure ~~gets the expanded international cable package legally~~ loves seeing her on their screen.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest New Jersey Women

dscott — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 19:39:20 +0000

Wow, it’s been a rough couple weeks for the Garden State. First there was the full fledged shootout in Jersey City between armed robbery suspect Hassan Shakur and the JCPD that left three officers critically injured and one dead. Then a week later we get news that 44 public officials, including Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, were arrested during an FBI sting that was the culmination of a large probe into the political corruption that goes down throughout the state. Way to go, New Jersey! Way to take some of the media attention off of New York’s fumbling Senate dealings for a short period of time.

Despite all the craziness that’s transpired in the most densely populated state in the country, Jersey is still a great place to… take a weekend trip to, or something. And not just because they’ve got a couple worthwhile beaches—New Jersey is and has been home to some of the sexiest females in the world. To take your mind off all that’s been plaguing America’s third state, we’ve compiled nine of Jersey’s best beauties for your enjoyment…

#9. ALI LARTER
CLAIM TO FAME: After short stints in TV, Ali was willing to do anything to break into the movie business, and with that the whip cream bikini from Varsity Blues was born. We wonder what she’ll do for an Oscar nod.

Worldwide Wednesday: The 9 Hottest Honduran Women

intern — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:03:15 +0000

Honduras isn’t exactly what you’d call a beacon of stability. Chaos has plagued the tiny Central American country since President Manuel Zelaya was exiled at gunpoint a few weeks ago while still wearing his ’jammies. Oh well, democracy is overrated anyway.

But in a country where so much is uncertain, one thing you can count on is Honduran hotties. While we don’t normally reward such un-American behaviors as military coups, we thought the people of Honduras could use a little ego boost. So, consider today’s Worldwide Wednesday a pat on the back for Honduras. There, there, little country, at least you have the nine hottest Honduran women to brag about…

#9. AMERICA FERRERA
CLAIM TO FAME: Ferrera is the star of the ABC television series, Ugly Betty. Now here’s one chick that actually looks better without make-up.

The French take pride in beautiful art, beautiful food, and beautiful women. Shit, even the president bagged a supermodel for a wife. So, in honor of yesterday’s Bastille Day celebration (aka France’s version of July 4th), it’s only natural we pick the 9 sexiest French girls for a countdown. Feel free to continue the celebration for another day, and get to clicking. Ooooohh Oui!

#9. LAETITIA CASTA
CLAIM TO FAME: Supermodel known for being featured in famous ad campaigns, magazines, and a Pirelli Calendar. She’s so bad we had to include her in the countdown, even if she’s been laying low since the ’90s. Fuckin’ childbirth!

What better way is there to celebrate Bruno’s movie debut this weekend than by raising your geographical awareness? Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest character hails from Austria—the country best known for classical music and flipping “w” sounds with “v” sounds (vatever vorks, vord!). Austria has brought the world geniuses like Mozart and Strauss, but we’re more interested in the composition of the country’s hottest females. Click on through to see our countdown of The 9 Hottest Austrian Women…

Worldwide Wednesday: The 50 Hottest American Women

intern — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:30:10 +0000

Hear ye! Hear ye! This Saturday is Independence Day and although America is turning 233, our breasts are still as perky as ever! Today’s Worldwide Wednesday is unlike any other that has come before it because it’s about more than just acknowledging beautiful women—it’s about capturing the American spirit. It’s about things like rejoicing in the freedom to eat greasy fast food until you have to wear Costco sweatpants, or in this case, celebrating the liberty to gawk at scantily-clad women you’ll never be able to sleep with.

So, to honor the Fourth of July, we’ve put together a list of honey dips from all 50 states who not only please the eyes, but also exemplify what it means to be a beautiful woman from the best country in the world. For those of you with short attention spans, you best pop an Adderall ’cause this list is a biggie. As for the rest of you, sit back with a cold sixer from Wisconsin, a bag of something sweet from California, and behold: the hottest women in the United States of America (in alphabetical order, of course)…

ALABAMA: Courtney Cox (Birmingham, AL)
ALL-AMERICAN CRED: We’ve still got nothing but love for the girl that gave us an excuse to watch Friends. After all, Americans did invent the TV sitcom.

ALASKA: Sarah Palin (Wasilla, AK)
ALL-AMERICAN CRED: What’s more American than running for vice-president? If all else fails at least she can fall back on royalty checks.
