The Most Intriguing Celebrity Body Parts - by Kati Johnston
Teri Hatcher/Retna Cheekbones
Teri Hatcher, "Desperate Housewives"

We've documented the incredible shrinking Susan, and she nearly won in the "legs" category for what my friend Laura calls "chopstick gams," but for now, we're fixated on Hatcher's sunken cheeks and jutting jawbones; from certain angles she's a dead ringer for skeletal former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, who's about 138 years old. Hatcher makes sculpted co-star Nicollette Sheridan look soft and girly. Runners-up: Marg Helgenberger, "CSI" and Bruce Jenner, "Skating with Celebrities"

Tyra Banks/Retna

Breasts
Tyra Banks, "The Tyra Banks Show," "America's Next Top Model"

Hey, even Tyra is captivated by them; she had that expert
carbon-dating guy come on and determine that they are "real."
Of course they're real -- they look like they could put an eye out!
Her guests and co-stars actually try to navigate around them
when they're near her on stage. Runners-up: Too many to single
out, but among our favorites are Tori ("and they double as a handy shelf!") Spelling; the aforementioned Milano and McGowan, mostly because co-star Combs hasn't had implants, so her cute, normal figure looks peculiar next to her "sisters"; Vivica A. Fox, "1-800-Missing," a gorgeous woman who tempted fate and overdid the surgery; Calista Flockhart and Nicole Richie, who show just what kind of chest a tiny, tiny woman really has, without "benefit" of implants.

Jay Leno/Retna Chin
Jay Leno of "The Tonight Show" takes top honors, of course, but close second place to Anderson Cooper of CNN. Though there are others who are more accomplished at jutting theirs to good effect, including Oprah and John McLaughlin.

Brian Williams/Retna Skin, specifically the orange kind
Brian Williams, NBC News. He's clearly a tan-boothaholic, because you can often see the little white rings around his eyes where the protectors have been. But he's got to take it down a few notches; he's just this side of day-glo, and with NBA season under way, he has to be careful about looking like just another round orange thing on the screen. Runners-up: Linda Evans, "Dynasty," who was way ahead of her time, before Mystic Tan got into every single star's coterie, and Jessica Simpson, who seems intent on turning herself into an exaggerated anime version of herself. Ready, boots?
Lara Flynn Boyle/Retna Lips
So many bee stings, so little time, but they're all winners in our book: Lisa Rinna, who launched the Power Pucker way back on "Melrose Place"; Lara Flynn Boyle, whose lips have more surface area than her trunk region; and Pamela Anderson, who not only has OD'd on Restylane injections but feels compelled to outline her lips in eyebrow pencil lest you miss them.
