Angelica Panganiban

After years of playing sidekick to Camille Prats and being tweetums in teen shows, Angelica showed off her sexy side in the film Santa Santita in 2004. Not only did she grace covers of men's magazines soon afterward, she also played more mature roles such as Aga Muhlach's estranged wife in A Love Story.

Krista Ranillo

The actress shocked her own family when she graced the cover of FHM Philippines last year but instantly gained popularity for such a bold move. She even accompanied her FHM debut with a sexy role in the independent film Paupahan.

Karylle

How do you deal with a bad breakup? Do you mope and watch romantic comedies all day or bounce back by posing in your underwear? Singer Karylle did the latter, only better--she emerged phoenix-like by becoming a Bench Body endorser, with traffic-stopping billboards to boot.

Britney Spears

Sure, her breakout video "Baby, Hit Me One More Time" was mildly sexual, but it was nothing next to the first time she ripped her suit and revealed a nude-colored outfit at the MTV Music Awards in 2000. (Need we mention the many controversies that followed?)

Lindsay Lohan

Though Lindsay's filmography consists of wholesome teen flicks, the public simply couldn't ignore the red-haired actress' provocative outfits, partying habits, and intriguing relationships.

Scarlett Johansson

Prior to Lost in Translation, Scarlett captivated the public with her performances in teen movies The Horse Whisperer and Ghost World. After establishing herself as a female lead in more mature films, she became a widely acknowledged sex symbol and even earned the title "Sexiest Woman Alive" from Esquire magazine.

Sharon Stone

Sharon got minor movie roles in the '80s, but it was her bisexual killer character in Basic Instinct that turned her into a star. Who could ever forget the way she uncrossed her legs for that infamous interrogation scene?

Daniel Radcliffe

The Harry Potter star had no qualms doing nude scenes for the play Equus and even called it a rite of passage. "That iconic scene is the physical and emotional climax of the play. So if I do that with pants on, it would be crap," Dan said.

Zac Efron

The High School Musical alum clocked in sexy points when Rolling Stone crowned him the new American heartthrob in 2007. Now he's upping the sizzling image further by signing on to an untitled "sexy thriller."

Robert Pattinson

We were charmed by Cedric Diggory's boy-next-door appeal, but it was Rob's sexy vamp Edward Cullen that got us drooling over the British hottie.
