Ali Larter

Ali Larter stars on Heroes.

Minka Kelly stars on Friday Night Lights.

Both are certified hotties - and celebrity hairstyle all-stars!

The center part is totally in style these days, as evidenced by both actresses' loosely waved hair below. Who wears it better, though? You tell us!

Whose hair do you like better?

Remember the whipped cream bikini Ali Larter sported in Varsity Blues? Of course you do.

Well, the following photo - courtesy of a spread in the most recent issue of Allure - may not top that image... but it comes mighty close!

Ali Larter stars in Heroes... and in the fantasies of guys everywhere!

Is it hot in here?

Or is it just today's member of the celebrity birthday club?

Indeed, a happy 32nd is in order for beautiful actress Ali Larter. The gorgeous star of whipped cream bikinis and Heroes is engaged to Hayes MacArthur. We wish this couple nothing but the best, but if it doesn't work out:

Call us, Ali!

Diablo Cody won an Academy Award Sunday for penning the witty movie Juno.

But this screen writer and former exotic dancer used to win guys over in a much different way, as the photo below depicts.

Seen here, Cody is doing her best impression of Ali Larter naked in the film Varsity Blues. That's right, fellas: two whipped cream bikinis for the price of one!

Hayes MacArthur will be seeing Ali Larter naked for the rest of his life.

The actor and Heroes actress are engaged.

"It's true," said a rep for the actress. "They're thrilled."

Hayes MacArthur and Ali Larter will be one another's Heroes for life.

No wedding date has been set and this will be the first marriage for both. For Larter, the proposal was anything but a surprise; she's been more than ready to marry MacArthur, who has appeared on How I Met Your Mother, almost since she met him.

"I told my boyfriend after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow," Larter recently said. "I look forward to that time when I'm home with babies."

Here's yet another reason to yearn to see Ali Larter nude: she doesn't make the best fashion choices.

Going for what can only be described as "lumberjack chic," the Heroes actress looks more prepared for a log-rolling contest than a night on the town.

If only her super power were to instantly change outfits...

A non-emaciated Kate Bosworth.

It's a fun trip down memory lane... but it's just gotten a lot more enjoyable!

The Hollywood Gossip staff has uncovered the picture that made Ali Larter famous. Sure, this actress has made a respectable name for herself with a great performance in Heroes - but a few years ago, she made herself something even more memorable:

A whipped cream bikini.

All warm-blooded males remember exactly where they were when Larter sauntered out to seduce the team's new star quarterback (played by James Van Der Beek) in Varsity Blues. It was like this generation's JFK assassination. But in a sexy way.

Check out the scene now. Sort of gives Hayden Panettiere and Minka Kelly something new to aim for in their cheerleading battle, huh?

If Ali Larter naked is serving dessert, we'll take seconds!

Heroes star Ali Larter won't reveal the identity of her boyfriend, but she sounds very smitten.

"I'm madly in love," the 31-year-old actress and model tells InStyle Makeover's fall issue, as reported by People. "He just brought light to my life. I feel lucky every morning when I wake up and see him."

This mystery man better like children more than Eddie Murphy does, because Larter sees them in her future â€" after her career calms down a bit.

"I'm loving this right now," she says of acting. "But I can't wait for that."

Larter, who plays Niki Sanders on NBC's Heroes, spent many years modeling before she caught the acting bug. She claims, however, that she grew up more as a tomboy than as someone who could ever follow in the footsteps of Heidi Klum or Marisa Miller.

"I had a bowl haircut," she says. "My face was always flushed, and I had one big tooth. I was the sweaty dirty girl, and I'd come home with one sock up, one sock down."

Now that she's found success, Larter says, she and her boyfriend are doing a good job staying balanced, knowing when to turn things up and when to chill out. It's the sort of lesson Britney Spears should probably learn before it's too late.

"Last night I was in my skintight Brian Reyes dress and Louis Vuitton heels. ...Today I packed my weekend bag â€" cargos, sneakers and sweats," she says. "And you know what? I need both. Balance is something that we all strive for, but for me it's to make sure my life has enough downtime, plus a bit of play."

You'll have to wait at least 27 days before you can think of Hayden Panettiere nude and not be considered a complete pervert.

But you can drool over her Heroes co-star, Ali Larter, naked below.

On the show, Larter possesses unique strength and a fairly unstable personality. But this picture reveals this actress' true super power: beauty.

Wearing nothing but a sheet, the former Varsity Blues cheerleader ditches the whipped cream biking for something even hotter: nothing at all. Tila Tequila must be proud.

If you thought past Ali Larter photos were gorgeous, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Based on her recent trouble, it sounds as though Britney Spears could learn a thing or two dozen abut how to pose by taking a look at this image. It really isn't that hard, Brit.

We've always got our ears tuned in to the latest in celebrity gossip. Here's what we've heard this week:

"I overpaid for my ‘96 Ford Bronco. I got drunk on eBay and bought that thing. I started bidding, and I was drinking wine at the time. I was on my second bottle, and all of a sudden that son-of-a-bitch raises the price. I'm like, ‘All right, I'll show you!' I don't get on eBay anymore and drink. Don't drink and drive. Don't drink and eBay!"

- Lindsay Lohan

"I'm an early bird. It's a problem. My friends are always, like, ‘Really? You can't go out again?'"
