#5 Kate Middleton
From Yahoo: Following the 2011 wedding of the century, Her Royal Highness Princess William, Duchess of Cambridge, Countess of Strathearn, Baroness Carrickfergus, was guaranteed to be in the spotlight. After all, this year would focus the world's attention on Great Britain itself, as Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee and the world's top amateur athletes attended the London Games.
Add a pesky paparazzo pic of the sunbathing duchess at her private residence in France, a new haircut spurring speculation that her new bangs were masking incipient pregnancy weight and finally, voila, the news of the happy couple was indeed expecting revealed, and you've got a hotspot on the Top 10 list.
