With several albums, tours, hits, hair colors, and even a marriage under her belt (her ex is Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41), confidence seems to be the secret for this young singer/songwriter/entrepreneur’s transition to glamour-puss. Known for her lyrical tales of romance, her most recent album Goodbye Lullaby is her most vulnerable to date.

Using her girlish innocence as sex appeal as Sookie on True Blood,Paquin scored her husband, costar Stephen Moyer, and numerous Golden Globe nominations (including a Best Actress win in 2009).

Proof that you can have it all, this half of Bennifer uses her mixture of tough, funny, and sincere to give us hits like Daredevil, 13 Going on 30, Juno, and Arthur. (Kids Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel aren’t bad either.)

Forever our girl, Paula sang and choreographed her way into our hearts with hits like “Straight Up,” “Opposites Attract,” and “Rush Rush” before she survived Simon Cowell not once, but twice, proving she has the X factor (no matter what Simon thinks). Relive Paula Abdul’s “Forever Your Girl” video.

Evolution seems to be the key to this music and fashion icon’s success, with both her eclectic fashion lines Deréon and House of Deréon and her latest album, 4. “The more mature I become and the more life experiences I have, the more I have to talk about.… I really want people to think when they listen to my music. I want them to feel more than ‘OK, I’m at a party, I’m dancing.’” OK, B, we also think you’rehot. Take a listen.
