The CW Source

We don't know about you, but we're getting sick of winter. To pass the time until spring finally comes, we've decided to turn up the heat – by looking at the CW hotties who make us warm all over. But no matter how many times we hash it out in the office, we can't decide: Who's the hunkiest guy on the network? What about the most gorgeous girl? How could we possibly choose?

Short answer: We won't. You will! We've got a selection of the most delectable men and women from all of your favorite scripted shows on The CW. We're pitting them against each other – and you get to vote for the one who makes your pulse race or your temperature spike. How’s that for a way to beat the winter blues?

Take a look at the polls below. You vote, and the winners of each matchup will advance to the next round. By the end of the month, you’ll have decided who are the most stunning man and woman on the CW network. May the hottest two win!

We're starting with the ladies. Part one is today, and we'll have more ladies for you to vote on later this week. Then we'll kick off next week with the men of The CW. The competition will last through February, so keep the temps rising (on your monitor, at least) and get voting!

Serena van der Woodsen : The Upper East Side’s resident wild child combines the looks of an angel with the heart of a rebel. She’s smart, she’s funny, and she’s a certified knockout. She’s not willing to let society dictate what she does – or who she loves.
Lois Lane: How can you not love a statuesque stunner who is equally adept at chasing stories and kicking butt? Her gorgeous looks and fearless attitude have entranced more than a few superheroes –but will you fall for her?

Lots more after the jump, so keep reading!

When we’re not poring over The Economist, Foreign Affairs and other venerable periodicals, we have been known to glance at some of the more popular glossy mags… oh, who are we kidding: we wait by the mailbox for our celebrity fix.

This month, we’re drooling over Tracee Ellis Ross’s house, which is profiled in the February issue of InStyle. The Girlfriends star has pink couches, a red stove, a real bed for lounging on in the living room, and a lot of portraits of herself. Granted, if we had been painted by Andy Warhol and Greg Lauren (and if we looked even half as good as Ross does), we’d probably have a few glamour-shots on our walls, too.

The furniture looks pretty damn good, too, and the pictures have made us a bit self-conscious about our pedestrian digs. Why don’t we have a palm frond chandelier or a Lucite dining room table? Where can we get that cool Asian-inspired credenza? For that matter, where can we find someone to tell us what a credenza is? We just haven’t seen furniture like that at Target.

Of course, Ross has been collecting cool furniture since she was 16 – who does that? We were lucky we could afford CDs at that age. And she definitely has an edge on decorative accents – our moms didn’t have funky platform shoes or mauve roller skates that we could scatter artfully around our living spaces. That’s what we get for not being born to Motown-legend-turned-disco-diva Diana Ross. What were we thinking?

Have you guys checked out the article yet? What'd you think of Tracee's digs?

Name: Tracee Ellis Ross

Where you can catch her: On Girlfriends, season premiere Sunday, October 1 at 8/7c

Where else you can see her in action: Hanging Up, Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls in '07

Why we heart her: How can you not love this Renaissance woman? In addition to her current gig, the Brown University grad also has modeled and served as a contributing editor for Mirabella and New York magazines.

Did you know? She's the daughter of the legendary Diana Ross. Well, you probably knew that. But it's always nice to see next of kin make names for themselves as well.
