The following are some pictures that I have encountered in the World Wide Web. A link back to the original web-site is also provided, just click on the picture.
To kick off the collection, I have chosen a picture of Famke Janssen who practically outshone Pierce Brosnan in the last James Bond movie - Goldeneye. Actually I also quite liked her when she guest starred in "Star Trek: The New Generation". She was the one woman who managed to get under ze capitan's skin.
It is a refreshing change from the usual gun-toting James Bond. Don't you think the silencer looks kind of cool in her hand, instead of his ?

Sharon Stone is another lady in a class of her own.

And of course, a true blue lady, Pricess Diana. Click on the photo for more and better photos.

Nicole Kidman can be quite intoxicating at times. You should have seen her in Batman Forever.

Speaking of Batman movies, the sweet-looking Uma Thurman, is playing Poison Ivy in
Batman & Robin. This is some star-studded movie.

One of last year's leading female actress was Sandra Bullock. And because there were simply so many sites featuring her, I made an exception of featuring two pictures of her instead of the usual one.
< < < <
This year's leading lady is, imho, Elizabeth Hurley. And this is the dress
that catapaulted her into fame.

Raquel Welch was really something in her prime. Few would argue that she is one helleva lady.
For those with smaller screens, there might be an overlap between this picture and the next. If you can, just expand the widow wider, otherwise, you will just have to right-click on the invidual pictures and view them one at a time.

Farrah Fawcett may not be in vogue now, but believe me, she was right there at the top as I was growing up. You should have seen her in Charlie's Angels with Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. Her seemingly messy hairstyle was the talk of the town.
I hear that Farrah made her debut in Playboy last year. I would not know as I live in a country that bans the publication, as well as the web-site.

This photograph is taken from one of the very few web-sites dedicated to the perennially lovely Jane Seymour, who is still going strong after all these years. Aren't those eyes of hers absolutely captivating ?
I can go on forever writing about her ephemeral beauty but I suppose this would not be an
appropriate place to do so.
However, it seems that the whole world knows the following celebrity to be a former playmate of the year for the abovesaid banned magazine.
With all the publicity stunts and widespread paranoia, who can deny the volumptous Anna Nicole Smith a place in this page ?
Her exploits range from being a playmate to a Guess girl, became a widower after marrying a geriatric multi-millionaire, and now marketing her own brand of perfume called Anna Live!. This is some really hot Harold Robbins stuff.

The World Wide Web is so full of pretty faces, such as that of Angel Boris.

Having grown up in a Eastern culture, it would be an injustice not to include a representative from East of Suez. Besides, Vivian Chow has appeared on countless posters touting Canon printers. I am sure she has a large following amongst Internauts in this region.

To keep our, till now only Asian lady company, please give a warm welcome to
Gong Li who made it to the cover of TIME magazine earlier this year.
She has often been alluded to as the Asian version of the ensuing lady.

Lest I be accused of not supporting local artiste, let me present my favourite Singapore actress, Xiang Yun. She has one of the sweetest smiles I have ever seen.
Just for a little fun, I am adding this picture of another famous Oriental. Although not, strictly speaking, a human being, Lily Wong is nonetheless a most fascinating celebrity in her own right.
This picture of her is actually a animated gif, making the page a little livelier. Do click on it and check out her own homepage.

No picture collection like this would be complete without the immortal and ever-mysterious Marilyn Monroe.
And, we should not forget her modern incarnation in the form of Madonna. Who can forget her "Like A Virgin" parody(?), amongst many other such exploits ?

Elle McPherson is another favourite of mine. You should have seen her in Sirens.
As mentioned earlier, she will also be appearing in the upcoming Batman movie. Unfortunately, the only good
photo of her that I can find is the one below
Whereas larger good photos of Cindy Crawford are easier to come by. Co-incidentally,
both of them are wearing white swimsuits.

After nearly a year of having this picture page of female celebrities, I have finally started on a similar page for male celebrities. The reason for the delay is that there are so many sites dedicated to female stars, and very few to the guys. There is also the question of personal inclinations. Anyway, I am planning other categories of pictures are added in the near future.
