The Hottest Hawaiian Girls

Honolulu-born Kelly Hu has been a trailblazer all her life, from being the first Asian American to win the title of Miss Teen USA to transitioning into a variety of acting roles. Her first movie part was as a victim in a Friday the 13th movie, but it's been all uphill from there, with notable roles as Lady Deathstrike in X2 and in The Scorpion King. She's currently returning to her roots on the new Hawaii Five-0.

I kind of feel sorry for the other girls that were on Baywatch. Sure, everybody remembers Pamela Anderson, but the show actually boasted a pretty huge number of other gorgeous dames. Case in point: the lovely Stacy Kamano. Playing lifeguard Kekoa Tanaka on the last two seasons of the show was a dream come true, but alas her career hasn't sizzled nearly as much since then. Ah well, we'll always have memories.

Sasha Barrese was born in the tropical paradise of Maui, making her a Hawaiian at heart even though her parents relocated her to Paris soon after she was born. Interestingly enough, her early acting career saw her paired with her mother Katherine Barrese for several roles, including one where they played the same character! Her biggest break so far has come in the two Hangover movies, but her career is just getting off the ground.

Who would have thought that the Pussycat Dolls would have so much longevity? Honolulu-hailing Nicole Scherzinger turned the loosely-organized group of slumming starlets into a carefully-tuned media machine with albums, stage shows, and even reality TV ventures under its belt. Last year saw her easily win Dancing With The Stars, and she'll be judging on X Factor this fall.
