(PRWeb) January 8, 2007 -- Chatterbean.com -- a response-driven Web site and authority on pop culture trends -- reports that "Are You Hot?" (http://www.ruhotquiz.net) personality quiz respondents voted Beyonce Knowles and Orlando Bloom hottest of 2006. The quiz posed the question of who were the hottest guys and girls of 2006.

Scarlett Johansson was a distant runner-up to Beyonce with 21 percent of the vote. Chatterbean.com's hottest girls of 2006 also include Lindsay Lohan (20 percent), JoJo (13 percent), and Vanessa Minnillo (11 percent) respectively.

It's no surprise Beyonce melted the hearts of Chatterbean.com voters in 2006; her song "Irreplaceable" is currently number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and her highly anticipated, recently released motion picture "Dreamgirls" has received impressive reviews. Beyonce's professional accolades are nicely complemented by her smoking hot physique.

Actor Orlando Bloom was voted the "hottest piece of 2006 man-candy" according to 35 percent of the "Are You Hot?" quiz respondents. The Chatterbean.com list of hottest guys in 2006 also included Justin Timberlake (21 percent), Chris Brown (19 percent), Nick Lachey (17 percent), and Wilmer Valderrama (8 percent).

Bloom is best known for his roles as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Will Turner in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. A repeat performance in 2007 is not out of the question as Bloom will surely shine in the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean which is set to hit the big screen this year according to IMDB.com.

"Are You Hot?" quiz runner-ups Scarlett Johansson and Justin Timberlake haven't left 2006 unmarked. Johansson continued to grace the big screen with roles in two of 2006's major blockbusters, "The Prestige" and "The Black Dahlia."
