ROBBIE WILLIAMS

Hometown: Stoke-on-Trent, England
Age: 32
Status: Single – and loving it (His romantic exploits are a favorite subject in the British press)
Why He's a Star: The UK popster has sold more than 60 million solo albums worldwide, and even Elton John dubbed him "the No. 1 star in the world." But he got his start the good ol' American way – in a boy band. Britain's Take That racked up nine No. 1 UK hits (compare that to 'N Sync's one No. 1 single in the U.S.).
What Makes Him Sexy: He's unpredictable. He stripped down for an ad campaign for his album Intensive Care, and he's known for plucking women from his audience to engage in onstage some lip-locking.
