Actress Zoe Saldana is fast becoming the IT GIRL in Hollywood thanks to her skillfully diverse roles and model good looks. Her remarkable turn in last year’s Columbiana sealed the deal and gave her a level of respect that is both enviable and well deserved.

But we think that Saldana will rise to the challenge and prove her detractors wrong. In the meantime we can acknowledge the fact that Zoe Saldana is the ultimate Cover Girl!
