(Scooter’s Note: This list is based the chicks at their hottest peak as designated by the movie, television show, music video, etc. in the parentheses. It does not take into account if they let themselves go later in the decade. For a deeper look into this list, check out Breaking Down the Hottest Hot Chicks of the 00's.)
