Worldwide Wednesday: The 25 Hottest Texan Women

Hometown: Dallas

Claim to fame: As "Crush" on American Gladiators and "The Face of Women's MMA," she's known for kicking ass. Just imagine getting affectionate with her; she must have a mean bear hug!

Hometown: Corpus Christi

Claim to fame: As an “actress,” you may know her from such titles as Chop Shop Chicas and Diary of an Orgy. As an economic force, you may know her as "the reason there's no lotion at the drug store."

Hometown: Huntsville

Claim to fame: Although she's now starring in ABC's Detroit 1-8-7, we know her best from Bitch Slap, her foray into adult cinema. Kidding. That was actually the title of the poor man's Sin City flick she was in. Still, it would've made an awesome porno title, right?

Hometown: Longview

Claim to fame: Yeeeee doggy! We sure like it when she plays her geetar and croons 'em Grammy-winning country tunes. It'd sure be mighty nice to experiment horizontal line-dancing with her.

Hometown: Dallas

Claim to fame: We're forever going to remember her running down the California coastline in a red one-piece bikini in Baywatch. Yes, we're deliberately overlooking the fact that she recently starred in Titanic II. No, it wasn't an SNL digital short; it was a straight-to-DVD sequel of THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Who does that?!

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Gilmore Girls, shmilmore shmirls. She's graduated from the small screen to the big screen with starring roles in Post Grad and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies. OK, so what if those are pretty much Gilmore Girls in film format? We still experience 300% of her hotness.

Hometown: Waco

Claim to fame: She went from the cute, innocent girl-next-door in Party of Five to the creepy chick who communicates with the dead in Ghost Whisperer. Despite her career choices, we will always remember what she did last summer. . . to our pants.

Hometown: Arlington

Claim to fame: Taylor is the chick who pretty much deflowered Jesse McCartney in the short-lived WB series Summerland. Now, she's on NBC's The Event where she has yet to deflower anyone. You'd think, given its name, it would've happened already.

Hometown: College Station

Claim to fame: Before she was the Kayla Silverfox to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, she was True Blood's Dawn Green, indeed another chick Jason Stackhouse screwed over and Eric screwed to death, so to speak.

Hometown: Bexar County

Claim to fame: Even though Michelle recently claimed she's tired of butch roles, we can't picture the Fast and the Furious bad-ass in a yellow sundress. Hell, we still picture her in leather pants and a skin-tight tank driving our stick!

Hometown: Grand Prairie

Claim to fame: Alright, so she's a (legal) young'n, but the actress is involved in some pretty mature stuff (no nude photos) like being a UNICEF ambassador and starring in the upcoming drama Monte Carlo with Nicole Kidman and fellow Texan, Leighton Meester. SG is for the children!

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Nadia in American Pie. No matter what she does (or doesn't do) for the rest of her career, she will always be the chick who made us feel unashamed to play with our pork swords.

Hometown: Austin

Claim to fame: On top of her numerous hit singles, we'd say her relationship with Bow Wow and the absurd rumors at the advent of her career that she was half-male. FYI, we checked and we saw no man-parts. The only bulge we saw were her T & A.

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Lizzie McGuire will PWN Community tomorrow night with its Mean Girls spoof, but we're not so sure about her playing Bonnie in the upcoming film The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. The only gun we can picture her handling is a Number One with a Bullet.

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: You got us! Our alias is Ben Affleck. To answer your question: yes, Jen puts on her Elektra costume at home sometimes.

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Career Experience: Founding member of Destiny's Child, solo singer-songwriter, budding actress. Skills: Singing, dancing, and acting opposite Ashton Kutcher. She may need to edit her resume.

Hometown: Abilene

Claim to fame: What?! Jessica's from Texas?! We had no gosh darn idea! What gave it away? Tony Romo, her attempt at a country music career, or her blonde hair and big boobs?

Hometown: Fort Worth

Claim to fame: If you thought Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf was a little intense, wait 'til you see The Roommate, a kitschy thriller in which she co-stars with her silently suspected fraternal twin, Minka Kelly. In the spirit of all horror movies post-Hitchcock, two hot girls make out and die. (The latter is pure speculation, but hey.)

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Being the hottest video vixen. . . of N*SYNC's music videos. Oh don't scoff, you know you saw them.

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Although she was one of the three stars of Destiny's Child and the prequel to Touched by Angel, her "Hot Complex" feature in our October/November issue 'caused her career to skyrocket! OK, fine, maybe more like hover.

Hometown: San Antonio

Claim to fame: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Firefly, Serenity and Dollhouse. Thousands of fan boys everywhere wet their pants on reading those titles alone.

Hometown: Euless

Claim to fame: After you check out our “Hot Complex” shoot, go and YouTube “L Word Shane and Carmen.”

Hometown: Austin

Claim to fame: Her role as Nic Cage's wingwoman in the upcoming testosterone-fueled flick Drive Angry makes sense. Her role as Seth Rogen's unexpectedly hot girlfriend in Pineapple Express, not so much.

Hometown: Corpus Christi

Claim to fame: She's from Texas? Oh, now we get why the Desperate Housewives actress married San Antonio Spur, Tony Parker. It really wasn't because he's a nice guy who just happens to be French and the former NBA Finals MVP. Any hints of jealousy read into this are completely false and entirely imagined.

Hometown: Houston

Claim to fame: Beyonce being on top of anything, including and especially us, never needs any explanation. She's the hottest chick in the game. Period.
