We are fascinated by celebrities. Some go as far as developing an obsession for them. What they wore the night before, who they were seen kissing last week and who they will be dating next month have become a common conversation starter among people. All in all, celebrities have taken a central roles in our lives. Either as a role model or as conversation starter, we are constantly surrounded by celebrity news. However, at times we tend to forget that these celebrities are not just diving and keeping themselves within the realm of entertainment industry. They are venturing out into the business world, trying to unleash their business ideas so they could make a name for themselves in the world of business, not just entertainment.

Today we bring you the ten hottest woman celebrities whose businesses are booming. We will soon be covering male celebrities as well but being a guy myself I had to write about women celebrities first. The list below is in no particular order.

Fergie

I am sure most of you know all about Fergie. She is one of the most talked about singers these days and mostly not because of her songs but because she is sizzling hot. Fergie, the vocalist of Black Eyed Peas band was born on March 27, 1975. Although most of us know her as Fergie, her real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson.

The sexy Grammy award winning singer launched her shoe line which has brought the singer much success. Her shoe line features collections from chic dress shoes to casual sandals and everything in between. Every man dreams of a woman who is sexy and successful, Fergie is one of those women us men can’t get enough of. You can visit Fergie’s store at Fergieshoes.com.

Beyonce

The singer who rose to fame as Destiny’s Child singer has come a long way since then. Her voice, her looks and everything about her drives us crazy. The fact that she has one of the most amazing voice, a look that can’t be overlooked and is married to the successful hip-hop mogul Jay Z, makes her one of the hottest celebrities.

Born on September 1981, Beyonce isn’t just a singer but an aspiring entrepreneur. The sexy star introduced her own clothing line with her mother as stylist. Since the launch of her clothing line House of Dereon, the star has stepped successfully into the world of business. Later the singer also launched the junior line Dereon with her sister which is geared towards younger consumers.

Gwen Stefani

This list is no order. If it were, Gwen Stefani would have topped my list. I find her one of the most gorgeous woman ever (hey, it’s my opinion). Known as the fashion trendsetter and the lead vocalist of the rock band No Doubt, Gwen Stefani was born on October 3rd, 1969. The thing that makes this celebrity sexy is her “I don’t give a rat’s ass” attitude towards fashion which ends up setting fashion trends for others.

Stefani launched her career as a business woman in 2003 with the launch of her fashion line L.A.M.B. The fashion line manufactures accessories like shoes, watches, bags and also a fragrance known as “L.” All in all, Gwen Stefani is one of the hottest celebrity stars out there who knows the ins and out of business.

Tyra Banks

I know there are many of you out there who don’t really like Tyra Banks. However, let’s face it, she is successful and no doubt a sizzling hot celebrity. Born on December 4, 1973 Tyra has made a name for herself as a model, singer and a media personality. She is the creator and host of the famous show America’s Next Top Model and also hosts her own talk show, The Tyra Banks Show. But this is not what brings this sexy celebrity to our list.

Banks, a model turned singer turned actress has made a name for herself as one of the most successful business celebrities. She owns her own production company known as Bankable productions. The other thing we need to give credit to Tyra Banks is for diving into something else other than fashion lines like most women celebrities do.

Drew Barrymore

Another celebrity who has stayed clear from the fashion line business is Drew Barrymore. Although she had a few ups and downs in her life, this hot celebrity has dived well into the business world.

Born on February 22, 1975 Barrymore launcher her own production company known as Flower Films. Her production company has produced such hit movies as Never Been Kissed, Charlie’s Angels and recently Beverly Hills Chihuahua and He’s Just Not That Into You among many others. Drew Barrymore is certainly one of those stars who had a rough start in life, it just goes to show that when you put your mind into something, nothing is impossible.

Kathy Ireland

If you don’t know who Kathy Ireland is, let’s say seeing her in a bikini would make you drool, and we aren’t lying. Born on 1963, Ireland is one of the most famous swimsuit model to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues. She was featured on the cover page of the 25th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition which happens to the best selling swimsuit issue to date.

Kathy Ireland is what everyone likes to call a “model turned mogul.” Her company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide, a worldwide product marketing company generates retail sales in billions and KIWW products are sold at over 50,000 locations worldwide.

Jessica Simpson

Although the singer has given more popularity to already popular “blonde jokes,” we can’t argue the fact that she is hot. Come on, when you see her in shorts with cowboy boots, your heart sure does beat a little faster. Born on July 10,1980 Jessica Ann Simpson has achieved the Billboard Top 40 hits seven times and has three gold and two multi-platinum albums.

Jessica Simpson is one of many celebrities who runs her own fashion line. The hot blond’s lifestyle collection features shoes, handbags, dresses and perfumes among other fashion accessories. Although she gets confused on whether tuna is a chicken or fish, we have to realize that at times she doesn’t hesitate letting the blond in her out. She is indeed a sexy celebrity with a successful business and that’s a good enough reason for her to be on this list.

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum is first an entrepreneur and then a model although she didn’t start her career in that order. Born on June 1, 1973, Klum started her career as a model who is also an actress, television host/producer and a business woman.

Heidi Klum has her own perfume line which has two fragrances “Heidi Klum” and “Me.” Besides her own perfume line the model turned business woman was one of the designer for Victoria’s Secret lingerie line “The Body,” also designed shoes for Berkenstock, jewelery for Mowawad, a clothing line for Jordache among many other things. So how much does she make? It is estimated that her side business projects alone makes her roughly $15 million a year. Seal (her husband) is a lucky bastard who got the best of both world : beauty and smarts.

Trina

Katrin Heather Taylor better known by her stage name Trina was born on Dec. 1978. The singer is widely known for her raw and raunchy style and gained popularity with her debut album “Da Baddest Bitch.” Trina is most admired by her fans for her raw and “on your face” lyrics that don’t hold anything back. However, Trina isn’t just a bad girl but is a business savvy woman.

In 2005 she released her fragrance called Diamond Princess named after her second album. Later in 2008 she launched her own clothing line which is know as the Pink Diamond Couture. She is currently working on a second line of fragrance, a record label and a production team. Trina is one of those sexy bad girls who has the money and brains to go with it.

Elizabeth Hurley

This English model turned actress is a true entrepreneur and one of the hottest celebrities. Born as Elizabeth Jane Hurley on June 1965, she runs one of the most successful beachwear line known as Elizabeth Hurley Beach. Besides selling bikinis and jewel encrusted sarongs, this celebrity has given birth to another business known as Elizabeth Hurley Food.

She owns a 400 acre farm where her and the family grow organic foods. She has also partnered with the Prince of Wales’ company Duchy Originals to develop a range of food together.

Hot, sizzling and business savvy? Absolutely!

And with that our list comes to an end. Feel free to add more to the list through your comments. At this point, the only thing I am bummed about is not being able to add Meghan Fox to the list. Hopefully she can start something of her own so I can find ways to include her . Meanwhile share your thoughts on some of these celebrities who are a perfect combination of brain and beauty.
