The latest Google league table of celebrity babes from movies and TV is out.

Megan Fox, currently a man-eating cheerleader (literally, that is) in horror-comedy Jennifer's Body, tops the poll.

Tomb Raider and Wanted's Angelina Jolie comes in second, with Lindsay Lohan third.

But there's bad news for Heroes cheerleader Hayden Panetierre.

She's dropped out of the Top 10.

For the full list - and to see Megan on video - turn the page ...

If you watch one You Tube clip today then make sure it is this compilation of bad sci-fi films.

So cringeworthingly awful they are brilliant...

I mean who doesn't want to watch Hell Comes To FrogTown starrng former WWF star Rowdy Roddy Piper?

Well, it's here.

The huge hype surrounding Five's new sci-fi import, Flash Forward, was always going to be tough to live up to.

The new Lost, they called it.

Hmm...

It looked great and the premise is fascinating.

But, God almighty, it was slow. As in s-l-o-o-o-w.

Neve Campbell has reportedly agreed to star in another Scream movie.

The actress played troubled Sidney Prescott in the first three films in the horror franchise and now looks set to reprise the role in the fourth instalment, reports Variety.
It was previously thought the 35-year-old wouldn't be back in the role.

It's already known that former Friends star COURTENEY COX and her husband DAVID ARQUETTE will star in the film.

The couple starred in the first three flicks, Courteney as news reporter Gale Weathers and David as Deputy 'Dewey' Riley.

Scream 4 is expected to hit cinemas in 2010.

Anorak City says: One was great, two was acceptable, three was appalling. Why bother - the downward spiral has bottomed out - can it recover? Seems unlikely that there is anywhere to go with this and this whole project says 'cash-in'

Robert Carlyle has been keeping cinema-goers glued to their seats for nearly two decades in a range of roles so varied he makes pick 'n' mix look short on choice.

His most famous part is undoubtedly that of sociopathic thug Francis Begbie in Trainspotting, but over the years he's fought James Bond, tackled terrorists with Jack Bauer and bared all in a Sheffield working men's club.

José Zúñiga has spent years "under the radar" as an actor, playing cops, killers and the DEA agent who unfortunately got offed by John Malkovich in Con Air.

But his role as the sympathetic teacher Mr Molina in Twilight has put the Honduran star firmly on the map, particularly where women are concerned.

"They approach me as if they know me, sometimes without even a greeting. It is just that personal to some people, mostly women. They start talking about elements of the book or script.

John Williams' score for the original 1977 Star Wars movie has quite rightly been declared the best science fiction movie soundtrack of all time in a poll conducted by popular sci-fi website www.Totalscifionline.com

The score to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, composed by James Horner, came in second place, while Vangelis' haunting electro soundtrack for Blade Runner - recently voted the best sci-fi movie of all time - completed the top three.
