HOT PHOTOS: Megan Fox's body for Emporio Armani

While "Jennifer's Body" was certainly appealing, there's nothing like the real thing -- the highly anticipated Megan Fox Emporio Armani underwear ads have hit, and the Ministry of Gossip has the shots in all their glory.

Replacing Victoria Beckham as the front-runner to the intimates line, Fox looks soft in black and white but still very sexy. Shot by photog team Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Los Angeles, the "Transformers" actress dons two sets of underwear as well as a soaking wet men's shirt and denim from the Armani Jeans collection. 

"Megan is young and sexy and has a lot of spirit," Emporio designer Giorgio Armani said in a statement.

Billboards featuring Fox will roll out globally in cities like New York, L.A., London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo.

Check out more shots after the jump!

EXCLUSIVE: 'Avatar' star Zoe Saldana lands Avon deal

Zoe Saldana plays blue-skinned Neytiri in "Avatar," which has racked up more than $1 billion worldwide. Now her natural visage is being put to good use -- I've learned that Saldana will join cosmetics company Avon as a brand ambassador.

"She's thrilled," a source close to the deal tells me.

She's also in good company. Saldana will join other stars aligned with the brand, including Fergie, Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Salma Hayek and Derek Jeter.

Reps for Saldana did not return requests for comment. An Avon rep was unavailable at press time.

With her success in the "Star Trek" update, 2009 was kind to Saldana, and she shows no signs of slowing this year: She's poised to release several major films, including director Neil LaBute's take on "Death at a Funeral"; the 2010 version costars Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and James Marsden.

And that aforementioned tiny art house flick "Avatar"? Saldana's blue face in that flick won't be going away any time soon -- after four solid weeks at No. 1, it was confirmed as the second-highest-grossing film ever overseas and globally and the seventh-highest in U.S. history. 

Congrats, Zoe!

VIDEO: Beyonce sizzles, promoting her new fragrance, Heat

Beyonce has given us yet another smoking-hot asset for our video phones. The actress, singer and entrepreneur is unveiling her first fragrance, Heat, with perfume maker Coty.

A 10-second teaser clip hit the Internet this week, delivering everything one might hope for from a fragrance called Heat, and from a gal like B.

This includes, but is not limited to, shots of an oaken-walled sauna, steamy and moist; a flimsy red slip dress with a plunging neckline; and the mandatory massage-table shot in which no masseuse is present -- thus requiring Beyonce to work out her own kinks.  

Well done, B. In addition to work, her personal life is generating plenty of heat as well ...
