Sandra Bullock

At the moment, America's sweetheart Sandra Bullock is the tabloid's sweetheart as well, thanks to her relationship with motorcycle builder and Monster Garage host Jesse James.
But Sandra (born in Arlington, Virginia on July 26th, 1964) has survived bad relationships, car accidents and at least one stalker.
She'll survive this.

Shania Twain

Canadian country pop singer and songwriter Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards on August 28, 1965, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Shania has won five Grammy Awards and has the best-selling album of all time by a female musician, and the best selling country album of all time (Come On Over, 1997).
Considering her early life, this beautiful lady deserves her fame.

Demi Moore

One of the stars of St. Elmo's Fire, Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal, Disclosure and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Demi Moore was born on November 11, 1962 in the UFO capital of the world, Roswell, New Mexico.
Besides films, Demi is known for two Vanity Fair covers, and being Mrs. Ashton Kutcher.

Faith Hill

Our second singer on this list is Faith Hill (born on September 21, 1967 in Ridgeland, Mississippi).
Faith is married to fellow country music star Tim McGraw, and has sold over 40 million records worldwide, had eight number-one singles and three number-one albums on the U.S. Country charts, and was one half of the highest grossing country tour of all time, the Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with her husband.

Sheryl Crow

Our third singer, songwriter and musician Sheryl Crow was born on February 11, 1962 in Kennett, Missouri.
Sheryl has sold over 35 million albums worldwide and performed duets with Sting, Eric Clapton, Michelle Branch and Michael Jackson among many others.

Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox-Arquette was born on June 15, 1964 in Birmingham, Alabama.
Courteney is best known for playing Monica Geller on the sitcom Friends, her roles in Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3 and she and her husband David Arquette will reprised their roles in Scream 4 (which I am very interested to see how Wes Craven pulls this off).
Right now though she is appearing on ABC's sitcom Cougar Town as Jules Cobb.

Vanessa Williams

The first African-American woman to be crowned Miss America, Vanessa Williams was born on March 18, 1963 in Millwood, New York.
Vanessa lost that title in a scandal, but emerged later as a singing star (with over 15 Grammy Award nominations) and actress (with many award nominations including several NAACP Image Award wins and nominations).

Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley was born on June 10th, 1965 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.
She made her acting debut in the "Glück das mir verblieb" segment of the 1987 British film, Aria.
Her last film was 2004's Method, but she'll be doing voice work in the 2010 film, The Wild Bunch in 2010.
She's probably best known for being at the center of the Hugh Grant scandal back in 1995.

Beautiful Arab Women 2

Here is my second Hub devoted to beautiful Arab women.
Once again it is mainly singers and actresses, but who's complaining?

Karima Adebibe
Karima Adebibe was born on February 14 (Valentines Day!) 1985 in Bethnal Green, London, England.
Even though she's technically an English actress and model, she is of Moroccan, Irish and Greek descent.
And on top of that, she was the seventh Lara Croft model so hey, she deserves recognition.
Karima really dove into her role, taking martial arts training and the whole nine yards, just to portray Lara on TV spots.
Alas, this lovely young lady retired from the Lara Croft role in 2008 (she was succeeded by Alison Carroll).
Besides being a video game icon, Karima has a small role in 2004's Alien Vs Predator.

Amal Hijazi
Lebanese singer, model and pop icon Amal Hijazi was born on February 20, 1977 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Amal started out as a fashion model, then began a singing career, releasing her first album, Akher Gharam in 2001.
The album was very successful and she released her second album, Zaman in 2002.
She has released a total of five albums, the latest being Keef el Amar in 2008.
Although Amal is very popular, seems to run into trouble with other Arabic singers like Elissa, Nancy Ajram and Nawal Al Zoghbi.
And she managed to get herself banned in Kuwait.

Nicole Saba
Nicole Saba is a Lebanese singer and actress who was born on June 26, 1974 in Beirut, Lebanon.
She has released on album (Ya Shaghilny) and over twelve singles.
Besides singing, she has appeared in three movies, El Tagroba Al Denemarkeya (2003), Tomn Dastet Ashrar (2006) and Kesit El Hai El Sha'aby (also in 2006).

Sofia Marikh
The beautiful Sofia Marikh was born on October 15, 1982 in Casablanca, Morocco.
She is a singer and entertainer and she has released her first album, Kelmet Hobb and eight singles.

May Hariri
Lebanese Singer May Hariri was born on December 24, 1972 in South Lebanon.
May has been described as the most beautiful woman in Lebanon.
Without seeing all the women in Lebanon, I can neither confirm or deny this, but I think she may come pretty darn close.
Her first album Hassahar Oyounou was released in 2004. This was followed by Habibi Inta in 2006 and Omr Tany in 2008.

Elissa
Elissar Zakaria Khoury was born on October 27, 1972 in Deir el Ahmar, Lebanon.
She is one of the most well-known female singers in the Arab world and one of the best selling female artists in the Middle East.
Elissa has been nicknamed the "Queen Of Romance" and the "Queen Of Feelings".
In 2005 she became the first Lebanese musician to win World Music Award and in 2006, she won for the most best selling albums in Middle East.
And while I pointed out earlier that Amal Hijazi had trouble with her, let me also point out that Elissa herself has gotten into it with not only Amal, but Haifa Wehbe and Nawal Al Zoghbi also.
Can't we all just get along?
Elissa has released six albums starting with 1999's Baddi Doub and thirteen music videos.

Carole Samaha
Lebanese musician and actress Carole Samaha was born on July 25th, 1972 in Beirut, Lebanon.
Carole has released three albums, "Helm" (A Dream), "Ana Hurra" (I Am Free) and Adwa'a ElShohra (The Lights Of Fame).
She also appeared on Lebanese artist, Marwan Khoury's album, Ana wlleil.

Marwa
I can't end this Hub without at least mentioning Marwa.
I don't have a lot of info on her, but I really think she deserves to be on a Hub with the most beautiful Arab women.
I do know that she has released two albums, Ama Naeema and Sheil Eidak, but that's about it.

Gharame
And before I really do end the Hub, I have to throw in a picture of a total knockout that I know absolutely nothing about other than her name....Gharame.
But she's another I just had to put in here.
