The 70 Hottest Babes of 2012, pt. 7: 10-1

10. Maggie Q (last yr 7)- Nikita remains one of my favorite shows on TV. And, with Maggie Q's character now leading division, and looking as yummy as ever doing, she remains in the top ten. The season seems likes it's only gonna get better, so don't be shocked if she ranks even higher next year!

9. Jennifer Lawrence (new)- The gorgeous Ms. Lawrence pulls in a huge debut thanks in no small part to her killer combination of beauty and excellent acting skills. She pulled in a great performance in the surprisingly good The Hunger Games. She was also in the horror flick The House at the End of the Street, and though I didn't see it, I can say she looked delicious in the trailers!!





 8. Deborah Ann Woll (same)- The hottest woman in all of horror TV continues to hold strong her place at the the 8th spot thanks to a season that saw her get even more sexy and beautiful and play "Rock Band". Seriously, I think I fell even more in love with her after that scene in True Blood!  





7. Miko Lee (last yr. 10)- Miko co-produced and had a role in what is one of the biggest adult releases of the year: Spartacus XXII: The Beginning. She promoted the hell out of it, through her various social networks. And, through it all remained accessible and friendly to all her fans. Add that to her work to save and preserve sharks and it proves that Miko is both beautiful inside and out. 


6. Zooey Daschanel (last yr. 24)- One of the year's biggest leaps comes from the beautiful and talented Ms. Daschanel. Put it this way, she got to me watch her sitcom New Girl, which I said I never would watch. I mean I hate sitcoms. And, not only watch it but keep watching it. And, the start to like it. And, actually laugh while watching it! That speaks volumes of her awesomeness, and well, my fandom for her. And, I guess the show, too.





5. Tera Patrick (new)- The gorgeous Ms. Tera Patrick provided me with my biggest and most popular interview of the year, maybe even ever, at NYCC. She proved to be so amicable, down-to-earth, and intelligent in person. Not only did she visit us Eastcoasters for that show, but also did Exxxotica NJ a month later. She also did a non-sex cameo in upcoming The Expendables XXX, and with more appearances next year, I'm sure she will continue to have much success.




4. Grace Park (last yr. 2)- Still, the most badass cop show in the history of TV, Hawaii Five-O helps the stunning Miss. Park remain in a top four spot. Plus, it's been great seeing her character Kono actually doing more ass kicking and even get a romantic partner. It will be interesting to see where they go with that storyline on the show.





 
3. Dani Daniels (new)- Dani makes the highest debut in the history of this list, since it became a yearly thing. And, it's easy to see why. Naturally beautiful and smolderingly hot, Daniels is easily one of the industry's very best babes. She began the year burning up girl/ girl scenes including her own movie, Dani, which is the very best lesbian movie of the year. Then in September, she finally made the jump to boy/ girl scenes with Dani Daniels: Dare, which got a lot of rightfully deserved press. In fact, with those two releases, both from Elegant Angel who continue to put out the best porn, Dani has two of the hottest pornos released this year. And, I honestly believe that the sky is the limit for this gorgeous, light-blue eyed goddess!!


2. Jamie Chung (last yr. 3)- Jamie moves one spot up closing on in the first, as she proved to have a humongously successful year. Her star continues to rise, which makes me very happy. As long time readers, fans, followers, and friends of mine know, I have long been supporting her all the way back since she first started. And, I hope to continue to do so. And, with her work in four movies released this year, including the dumb fun of Man with the Iron Fists, and her TV appearance on Once Upon a Time, it's clear that she's here to stay!




1. Asa Akira (same)- For the second year straight, this goddess holds on the the top spot. She appeared in countless of releases this, including one of my favorite girl/ girls movies, her own starring vehicle, Asa Loves Girls and the ending to Elegant Angel's trilogy of hers' Asa Akira Is Insatiable 3, as well as continuing to draw attention form the porn world. She got lots of nominations from XCritic and the AVNs, which she will be co-hosting with Jesse Jane in January! It's very clear that her success continues to grow and rightfully so; as she totally deserves to keep her top spot! Can anyone beat her next year, on this list? I guess you'll have to wait till the same time in 2013 to find out!!

The 10 Best Metal Albums of 2012

First off, I hope you guys had a very merry Christmas and that you got to celebrate it with your loved ones. Now onto the metal:

Another year of metal music is passing us by. There were some really good albums, and the race to be in the top ten was a close one this year. It also took me quite a few spins to really determine the top five, but in the end, I think I have it, as there is a nice mix of thrash, death, progressive, alternative, and straight up rocking metal to please all rock and metal fans here. It was also nice to see bands put out some of their best work around. Anyways, let's starts this fucker, already!
 
10. Overkill- The Electric Age- After the amazing Ironbound, the best musical act to ever come out of Jersey release this fast and heavy hitting album that is even better! Songs like "Old Wounds, New Scars" rank among the most badass songs that they have ever fuckin made!!!






 
9. Testament- Dark Roots of the Earth- Much like Overkill, Testament had a lot to live up to after their phenomenal return and last album, The Formation of Damnation. This album is almost as good as that one. This is a heavy and blistering fucker, that even throws in killer covers of Scorpions and Iron Maiden. And, Chuck Billy remains one of the best signers in all of thrash metaldom.




8. In This Moment- Blood- Growing and maturing for a band is clearly important. Though change can alieanate fans, it can be quite crucial. In the case of In This Moment, a band not afraid to stray away from their metalcore beginnings, have done just that with what is their best work since their debut. In Blood the band mixes metal with some tinges of industrial and enough of a pop beat to sound accisable but never like sell-outs. Maria Brink sounds amazing and the tracks "Whore" and "Beast Within" ranks among the best of the year. Clearly people are agreeing cause this the band's most successful album, yet.


7. Fear Factory¬ The Industrialist- After all of these years Fear Factory have lost none of their edge. And, as great as their previous album, Mechanize, was; this one is even better. It's pounding, heavy music that pummels the listener. It's pretty much a jackhammer to your skull from beginning to the fucking end.
  
 



6. Kreator- Phantom Antichrist- This is Kreator's best album since Coma of Souls and considering how good the last few have been that's saying a lot. It just mixes the perfect amount of speed, heaviness, and brutality, with the just the right amount of melody to pull of the best thrash metal album from an old-school band of the year.







5. Gojira- L’Enfante Savauge- Technically sound and aurally brutal France's progressive metal master's have released a juggernaut of an album. One that from the very first listen is clearly one of the year's finest albums. In fact, the opening track alone, firmly certifies that they righteously belong on this and every other best of metal list for 2012.

 


4. Dethklok- The Dethalbum III- The best death album of the year comes courtesy of a band that is cartoon band. Of course, said band has some real fucking talent behind it including Gene fucking Hoglan! This album is every bit as heavy, badass, and brutal as you would expect from one of these guys; who are one of the best selling death metal acts, ever. And, the songs and album only get better with each listening!






3. Deftones- Koi No Yokan- Continuing with the sound and excellence of their last album, Diamon Eyes, the Deftones have provided us with another masterpiece. I still don't know which of the two albums I prefer, but I can say that this is my favorite album to write/ work to. And, I mean that compliment in all the best possible ways, since music is very important to me when I'm writing.

 

2. Halestorm- The Strange Case of…- I have heard of the dreaded second album curse, where it is said that a band who makes a great first album fucks up royally with the following album. Well that was not the case here. In fact, PA's Halestorm have released an album totally trumps their self-titled debut, which, in of itself, is one of my favorite albums to spin. I have listened to this album, God only knows how many times already. It's their biggest success, too, making them the highest charting for the first week sales of a female fronted metal/ hard rock act. Yes, this means they beat even acts like Evanescence! Both of the singles, "Love Bites (So Do I)" and "I Miss the Misery",  they released this year are not only big hits, but my favorite singles of the year. The fact that band did this by actually sounding heavier than ever, makes it that much better. But, they still have a lot of heart and soul to them, with some moving songs ("Here's to Us", "Beautiful with You") as well giving us seriously kick ass music with some headbanging good shit ("Mz. Hyge", "Daughters of Darkness", etc.).

1. Shadows Fall- Fire in the Sky- The album to beat Halestorm out of my top spot comes from this Springfield, Mass band. Now, I have long liked these guys, but now I like even more. And, it is most definitely thanks to this album. Shadows Fall has long left the metalcore sound, they were first known for and come into a more thrash influenced style. The result had been some solid work, but this trumps any of those. With a good classic thrash sound and quality production comes an exciting, ass kicking, fast, heavy, and pounding release. One that maybe the one to even convert the haters. Yes, it's that damn good!!


Honorable Mentions:
Huntress- Spell Eater
Meshuggah- Koloss
Sister Sin- Now and Forever

The 70 Hottest Babes of 2012, pt. 4: 40-31

40. Taylor Momsen (same)- Sexy is a word that gets thrown around a lot, but few are as sexy as this blonde beauty and front-woman for hard rock act The Pretty Reckless. Her band was on tour with hard rock and metal heavyweights Evanescence, Guns N' Roses, and Marilyn Mason, this year, as well as on their own. That's when I caught them. They're a great live act and she is even hotter and more beautiful live!! They also released an EP, Hit Me Like a Man, as well as the single, "Kill Me". They remain one of my favorite rock acts, and she one of my fav rocker babes. 



39. Jill Janus (new)- This bewitching beauty is Wiccan front-woman for metal band Huntress, who have released what is probably my favorite full length debut this year, in the form of Eight of Swords. Not only does Ms. Janus have an amazing voice, but her stunning looks are to die for. She also has no prob giving fans peaks at her beautiful cleavage, that along warrants her inclusion here. Her talent certifies her ranking.





38. Jessica McNamee (new)- When it comes to new horror crushes for 2012, few can be as hot and as beautiful as the gorgeous Ms. McNamee. She has a great supporting role in the phenomenal The Loved Ones, where she seems destined to break the heart of every full-blooded male horror fan, who gazes into her smoldering, light-blue eyes. But, she ain't just pretty face. She gives a complex and amazing performance mixing pathos with goth sexbomb appeal. Over in her home country of Australia, McNamee already has a rightfully deserved fan following. Here's to hoping the same happens here. She completely deserves it!!



37. Audrey Cleo (same)- Beautiful, geektastic, and awesome as hell, Ms. Cleo keeps her 37th post, thanks to her great job covering events and movies for sites and channels like the TV Guide Channel. She is sooo hot and so good, that I will watch her even when she cover stuff like the Twilight films. And, that dear readers, speaks volumes of her hotness and coolness.





36. Lzzy Hale (last yr ranked 2010- 38)- Let me say this right now: I fucking LOVE Lzzy Hale!! Gorgeous, sexy, badass, kick ass, REAL rocker chick, talented, amazing voice- I don't know if there are enough adjectives and phrases to describe to her greatness. While, her band's Halestrom's self-titled debit was fucking good, the new album, The Strange Case of... is even better. It also presents a great success for the band. In fact, it debuted at the highest status that any female-fronted hard rock/ metal band ever has. Yes, even high than Evanescence. It is, without a shadow of a doubt one of the very best albums of the year. Plus, Lzzy owns it when she play her music. Want proof? Check out the kick ass videos for the mega-hits "Love Bites (So Do I)" and "I Miss the Misery" (which has some of my favorite lyrics of the year). And, that's another thing. Ms. Hale just writes great lyrics. Plus she took THE top spot in Revolver's Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock. I could go on and on praising her all fuckin day!

35. AnnaLynne McCord (new)- Much like Yvonne Strahovski, ranked earlier, Ms. McCord was the type of blonde who did little for me. But, low and behold she turns a darker shade of hair color and plays an emotionally unbalanced teenager, who fantasies about necrophilia, licks blood, and does and thinks about other antisocial, possibly sociopathic behavior, all while looking quite hot, in of the year's finest horror films, Excision, and I'm completely smitten with her. Again this probably speaks volumes about me, but seriously, at this point who cares? Beyond that, it's great to seeing her and her heartbreakingly beautiful blue-eyes leave her Beverly Hills 90210 comfort zone and play such a deep and complex role with such great results.

34. Kelly Hu (last yr ranked 2010- 38)- The gorgeous Ms. Hu remains one of the most stunning women on this entire planet. And, best of all she worked on two of the best new TV shows this year: on Arrow she played China White, where she got to kick some major ass. But, I do wish we would have gotten a better look at her hotness. Also, it was revealed, that she lent her voice to the awesome new cartoon reboot of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as Karai for an upcoming series of episodes.





33. Kleio Valentein (same)- One of the hottest, if not in fact the hottest, girl shooting movies for Joanna Angel's Burning Angel, Kleio is also one of the sweetest and coolest. And, anytime you see her at an adult convention she gives you a knockout punch with those hot looks of hers. She has a strong fan following, but with her gorgeous beauty howt he hell can she not?





32. Akira Lane (same)- Aside from her breathtaking beauty, Akira Lane is also beautiful inside. She remains one of the nicest and most friendly nude models online. As well as being one of my favorites to follow, on social media.








31. Cobie Smulders (new)- It takes a lot to outshine the hotness of Scarlett Johansson, as the Black Widow, in the geekgasm that is Marvel's The Avengers, but goddamn it, Smulders did it! Playing Agent Maria Hill of S.H.E.I.L.D., she fucking did it! That black hair, light skin, and beautiful blue eyes, combined with that tight outfit (that ass!!) and her tough and smart attitude made her the most memorable non-super powered character in the entire film. Well to me, anyways. Regardless, Smulders is great in it, as well as being on How I Met Your Mother, which while I never watch, I know how yummy she looks on it!

The 70 Hottest Babes of 2012, pt. 1: 70-61

As is the tradition of this blog of mine, the start of Dec. means that I can begin my long running yearly tradition of ranking the year's hottest babes. As always, I start working on this list pretty much from the beginning of the year and work on it till the end of Nov. It's never easy to compile, but it's always fun. And, such was the case this time around.

As always, I rank actresses (both A and B and TV stars), musicians, models, internet celebs, porn stars, and even filmmakers. And, I still don't care to rank overrated, overexposed, talentless, and/ or annoying celebs that contaminate most of the other babe lists out there. And, like always the more a girl did or accomplieshed in the year combined with her hotness determines just how high shes gets to rank. So let's not waste any more time and get right to it!

70. Jamie King (new)- Beautiful model turned actress, Jamie King, has been pretty busy this year, from doing stuff that I don't care for (Heart of Dixie and an Adelle video) to being in the fun slasher re-imagining flick Silent Night where she played a cop and looked pretty damn good doing so. Ms. King, you can slap the handcuffs any day of the year!






69. Liv (new)- This gorgeous dark-haired, tatted front-woman from kick ass hard rock/ metal band Sister Sin, debuts on my list after three hard rocking, badass albums, including the band's best, yet, Now and Forever, released just a few months ago. I'm actually gonna be seeing them and the gorgeous metal legend herself, Doro, next year in Feb. Should be fucking awesome!!

68. Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez (new)- They're beautiful, Latin, talented and play kick ass metal music by way of their metalcore act, Eyes Set to Kill. White Lotus, released last year, has been playing almost non-stop on my I-tunes/ I-pod from the minute I got it. They are the only sisters that made Revolver's Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock, and the only of two other sisters on my list, this year.

67. Anna Paquin (last yr 63)- Admit ably True Blood was very uneven this season, but once it got centered on the more interesting storylines (IE NOT the fuckin' smoke demon), it kicked ass, all the way to the killer ending. Through out this Paquin looked delicious, got naked, and pulled in some solid acting.

66. Lexi Belle (new)- Lexi seems to get cast in just about every porn parody out there from Xena to Buffy. And, while this is certainly enough to warrant the attention she gets in the biz, it's the fact that she finally did anal, this year in Lexi, that truly took her to the next level. That and the fact that she remains cute as fucking hell is more than enough reason for her to finally hit this list.

65. Willa Holland (new)- Speaking of cute, there aren't many on TV cuter than Ms. Holland. She plays Ollie Queen's, the Arrow himself, little sister on the CW's shockingly good, badass, and entertaining superhero/ vigilante series Arrow. She's a bad little girl into drinking, parting, and boys. Sounds like she needs a spanking! Just don't let Arrow find out. He's liable to put an arrow through your fucking head.


64. Melinda Clarke (last yr. 60)- I'm glad her character, Amanda, didn't get caught or offed at the end of last season on Nikita, cause it means she became the top villain this season. That's fine by me, cause she makes evil sexy. I, by the way, wouldn't mind getting held by captive by her. So long as she don't torture me or anything of the sort.




63. Skin Diamond (new)- Stunning, gorgeous, sexy, exotic, and tatted up this hottie is a continuously rising star in the skin biz (pun not intended). With her smoldering performances in films like the excellent Dani, there is no doubt in my mind that her star will continue to rise, as will what's in the pants of her fans.


62. Yvonne Strahovski (new)- I have to be honest with you, when I first saw this blonde, via Chuck promotional materials and interviews, she did nothing for me. Maybe it's that I'm not hugely into blondes, or that I didn't give a flying fuck about the show. But, ever since she's been on this phenomenal season of Dexter, as a serial killer, no less, I been in love. Perhaps it speaks volumes about me, but who cares. She's pulling off a great performance, and been looking hot as the pits of fucking hell doing so. That she got topless, well, that dear readers is an added bonus!!

61. Charlize Theron (new)- I've been referring to this goddess as one of the most beautiful women in mainstream cinema ever since I was in college, and I still stand by that. Sadly, her days of getting naked seem to be gone (allow me to cry for a few minutes... OK I'm back!), but she's still an absolute stunner and a greatly talented one at that. She appeared in two genre movies this year, Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus, so we fans of dark cinema are certainly happy about that!
