Megan Fox crowned sexiest woman in the world
Fox, 21, who starred in last year's hit movie "Transformers," grabbed the title from actress Jessica Alba, 26, topping online men's magazine FHM Online's (www.FHMonline.com) reader poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2008.
Alba dropped to No. 3, coming behind American actress and former model Jessica Biel but ahead of Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert who was ranked fourth after appearing in horror movie "Captivity" last year. U.S actress and singer Scarlett Johansson, 23, rounded out the top five.
"Megan Fox is the deserving winner of this year's FHM title. She's young, she's hot, she's a rising star and her sex appeal has definitely transformed this year's list. She's got a great future ahead of her," said FHM Online U.S. Editor JR Futrell.
Fox debuted on the list at No. 68 in 2006 and was ranked No. 65 last year. But playing the lead female role in "Transformers," a blockbuster $700 million hit at worldwide box offices, markedly raised her profile.
Also in the top 10 were Emmanuelle Chriqui, Hilary Duff, Tricia Helfer, Blake Lively and Kate Beckinsale.
Newcomers to the list included Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice from British pop band the Spice Girls, who moved to Los Angeles with her husband, English soccer player David Beckham, last year. She made her debut at No. 99.
Spears, 26, whose career has been buried under an avalanche of personal and mental health problems, managed to make the list at No. 100, a steep decline from 2004 when she was voted the world's sexiest woman.
FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll is now in its 14th year with nearly 9 million votes cast this year by FHM readers worldwide to choose the sexiest women in film, television, music, sports, and fashion.
This year's list also included reality TV stars to reflect the genre's increasing popularity with three girls from the "The Hills" making the list, including Heidi Montag at No. 44 and Audrina Patridge at No. 80 and Lauren Conrad at No. 95.
From "Dancing with the Stars," actress Shannon Elizabeth returned to the list at No. 46 after being absent last year. She was joined by Cheryl Burke at No. 40 and Karina Smirnoff at No. 78, who made their debuts.
"It's no surprise to us that so many reality stars made this year's list," said Futrell. 'The Hills' is one of the most popular shows on MTV, and 'Dancing with the Stars' is the No. 2 reality show in America after 'American Idol.' We expect even more to be added next year."
CHIWETEL EJIOFOR POSES FOR KING MAG
Chiwetel Ejifor (one of FG2BH's favorite Brit imports) has a 7-page pictorial in the June issue of "King" magazine. Chiwetel discuss with "KING" about being a style icon. "I clean up very well," says Ejiofor. "Whenever I get styled, there's this unnatural sheen that never fails to surprise me".
"Some actors are overly concerned with fashion," says Ejiofor, who's currently headlining "Redbelt", a mixed martial arts-centered mortality tale. "Not me. It's acting first and style a distant fourth or fifth."The film roles Chiwetel associated with has certainly got the attention of Hollywood, right? All he needs is the right film to get that beloved Oscar nomination!
Check out the trailer for Chiwetel's latest film, "Redbelt" AND the interview he did with "ReelTimeTube" below:

Onto the other notable Naijas/Africans in the media...
Estelle has made signficant headlines since that whole Duffy debacle. The record executives over her record label Atlantic Records apparently forced Estelle to change her boyish hairstyle and her characteristic teeth.
Sandra Rose has proof (see photo above) that Estelle caved into the pressure. Image in the music industry apparently equals into album sales for FEMALES....but not so much for MALES (**coughs**Fat Joe).
Let's just hope Estelle doesn't change her fly hair style or her eccentric style.
Idris Elba's film "Prom Night" landed at the number one spot in its opening week. Congrats to Idris Elba (my Ghana brother from another)!
Idris dropped by the "Tyra Show" on Thursday April 17th to promote his film, "Prom Night". Tyra sure has a way of bringing out the fun side of any person she interviews.
You can expect much more from Idris on the big screen in the coming year. Elba has five feature films that you read up about over at IMDB.COM.
Comedian Godfrey added this new "GQ"-inspired photo shoot onto his official myspace page. If you checked out Godfrey's myspace spot, you'll notice he showcase his favorite running presidential candidate.

Rants/thoughts:
When Nigerians throw a party, we come in large numbers. When Nigerians throw a party with a theme, something unexpected occurs. Some follow the theme and others simply didn't get the memo. A popular theme is the everyone-wear-your-traditional-attire. Why is that a select few just doesn't want to cooperate?! Lastly why do they (the ones who didn't get the memo) get offend when question about the whereabouts of their outfit??! Things that make me go hmmm....

The women voted Monroe the most seductive woman from the past, and Jolie the most seductive living woman.
But while British women thought that Hollywood stars were brimming with alluring attributes, they felt less confident about their own power to bewitch, the survey found.

My unashamed cloud 9 affair with Idris Elba went up several clouds when he dropped by "The Sauce" to promote his new thriler, "Prom Night" on "The Sauce". Co-starring Brittany Snow of "American Dreams" and "John Tucker Must Die" fame, the new film project from Idris opens nationwide on April 11. Check out the trailer below:
And in better-late-than-never news, Idris happens to be of African descent. I blame my late reporting on my argument on whether or not to claim him as a talented actor with a African name. I also blame this reporting on the drama that occurred when I claimed Nas, Ne-Yo, and Golden Brooks as Nigerians.
Mr. Elba has appeared in several notable films like "American Gangster" (Denzel was sooo wrong!), "This Christmas" (Do I need to rent this?), "Daddy's Little Girls" (he was soo good). He will have Beyonce Knowles-Carter as his leading lady in "Obsessed". Learn more about Idris in his own words...
Quick Facts about Mr. Elba via IMDB.COM:
- Idris took his daughter Isan to the premiere of his film, "Daddy's Little Girls"....
- He is an only child to a father from Sierra Leone and mother from Ghana.
- He appeared on the cover of Essence's "Hot Hollywood Men" issue way back in April 2004. (Cover shot by Kwaku Alston) And yes I had to pull out my copy of "Essence" and scan the snapshots for my FG2BH readers and lurkers...
And of course I had type up a interesting quote from him for my FG2BH readers. In the "Essence" interview, Idris revealed his little secret.I have a foot fetish. I guess it's because you never see a woman's feet unless they're wrapped around your shoulders.
Photographed with Idris are actors Delroy Lindo, Blair Underwood, Carl Lumbly, Michael Ealy, and Matthew St. Patrick. - His birth name is Idrisa Elba.
