Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga may try a little too hard to be the next Madonna, but there's definitely nothing boring about this provocative pop star. Known for her crazy persona and even crazier outfits, the "Born This Way" singer has a pretty odd resume: She's modeled nude for Tony Bennett, hosted her own Thanksgiving special, become a creative director for Polaroid, and arrived at the Grammy Awards inside a giant egg -- and that was just in 2011. So if you like your women envelope-pushing, completely un-self-conscious and able to work a dress made of meat, Gaga's your lady.

 

  Emma Watson

Now that Harry Potter star Emma Watson is all grown up, she's quickly becoming a woman worthy of our attention. While other former child stars couldn't handle the pressures of celebrity (see: Lindsay Lohan), Watson hasn't let it overwhelm her. Instead, she's managed to balance her growing fame and post-Potter career by finishing a degree at Brown University. Without any scandals, sex tapes or DUIs on her record, Watson is more mature than most of her Ivy League classmates, let alone her Hollywood contemporaries.
