The once-shy actress, who underwent reconstructive breast surgery last November, said she's finally at a point in her life where she's comfortable speaking her mind.

"I used to be really shy but I started to come into my own in my late 20s and early 30s," she said. "Now I'm not afraid to speak up in a room full of people and be a part of the conversation."

She said she credits boyfriend, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, for helping to overcome life's recent hurdles while making her feel "beautiful" about her new body.

"He's been a friend for about 13 years. Our relationship gets stronger and stronger. I'm really lucky," she told the mag. "I'm very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he's been my rock through all of this. He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about."

Christina was just one of the many stars selected for the striking good looks.

    Also, Taylor, the phrase "they just hating for some reason" proves your own Grammatical inadequacies. You're not as smart as you think you are, and pride is the worst of the deadly sins.

    Taylor, we are in an economic crisis because of Bush's policies. Unemployment is higher than it has been since the Great Depression. Bush isn't an idiot; he's Harvard educated. However, his loyalty was to his family's bank account, and that is no way to run any country. Also, race has nothing to do with anything.

I can tell a lot of these replies to you are uneducated people on the welfare system with their curse words, and non-spelling morons. Wish they would go back to school with our tax money.

    MO is the ugliest woman alive. I'm beginning to think that Barack is gay and she is really a he. Why hasn't she made the list before now??????? I know once his pretending arse is outta office she will be off the list in a hurry. Now Sarah Palin was a beauty queen unlike MO's dogbag face.
