Olivia Munn
There is no doubt that this tech hottie is every gamer's dream girl. As cohost of G4's Attack of the Show and correspondent on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, Olivia sexes up the world of news and technology with her nerdy sense of sex appeal.
Felicia Day
Maybe endless hours in front of a computer screen can pay off. As creator, writer and inspiration behind the The Guild—a webseries based on the lives of commited gamers—Codex (as the gamer world knows her) is living proof that all virtual nerds aren't just middle-aged men in their basements.
Kristen Bell
Whether it's solving mysteries as Veronica Mars or electrifying the hell out of someone as Elle Bishop on Heroes, no geeky sci-fi role will ever stain her sexy! Even when she's breaking our hearts on Forgetting Sarah Marshall. ("Maybe the problem is that you broke my heart into a million pieces and so my c--k doesn't want to be around you anymore!")
Olivia Wilde
As the electrically seductive Quorra on Tron in 2010 and a sci-fi western sweetie in Cowboys and Aliens, it's no wonder miss Wilde has all the nerds going wild. From science-fiction fantasy to her sexy smart role as Thirteen on the hit TV series House, Olivia has got all the geek bases covered.
Eliza Dushku
This actress tantalizes the tastes of all kinds of geeks: fighting off vampires in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, playing a programmed assassin doll in Dollhouse and helping save the dead from dying in Tru Calling. Not to mention the five different video games her voice has been featured in (Yakuza, Wet, Saints Row 2...to name a few). She lives in a real-life RPG (role-playing game)!
Diablo Cody
There is nothing sexier than an intelligent and accomplished woman who can write well. Especially if it's the same woman who can push out epic screenplays like Jennifer's Body. And did we mention she began her career in writing about her experiences as a stripper? The geek world's very own bad girl!
Katee Sackhoff
A viper pilot flying through space? Sure, why not! This Battlestar Galactica hottie makes us all want to jump on board. And wherever Starbuck is steering, the BSG fan club is sure to follow.
Danica McKellar
You may remember her as the girl next door, Winnie Cooper, on The Wonder Years, but this brunette has beauty and brains! Alongside her acting career, Danica graduated with highest honors from UCLA with a degree in mathematics (yes, a bona fide mathlete!) and coauthored a scientific paper that got her her very own scientific theroem: the Chayes-McKellar-Winn theorem.
Zooey Deschanel
If you sensed something mysterious and quirky about this dark-haired damsel in 500 Days of Summer, you'll get a defintie dose of it in her new Fox show The New Girl, premiering this fall. Recently dumped Jess (played by the one and only Zooey) moves in with three boys and blesses them with her graceful painfully awkward demeanor. Nerdy + awkward = ? (sexy, but you'll never admit it out loud!)
Sarah Michelle Gellar
With all the pale, shimmery vampires running around, we need to remind ourselves who the original vampire slayer was. The memorable, sexy, kickass Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer will always have a place in our vamp-fanatic hearts!
Claire Danes
This brainy actress walked us through those awkward teenage years in the '90s TV series My So-Called Life, and then went onto the big screen to star in films like Little Women, Romeo and Juliet and even Terminator 3. But what, exactly, did she do in the between time? Oh you know, get a letter of recommendation by director Oliver Stone to attend Yale University. NBD.
Tina Fey
Making glasses look sexy ever since her first appearance on Saturday Night Live, NBC's funny girl has gone from being a staff writer to perfecting her oncamera Palin impression. Since then, she's revealed her sexier side on a multitude of magazine covers including Bazaar, men's magazine Esquire and even Vogue!
Yvonne Strahovski
Whoever coined the phrase "as dumb as a blonde" was obviously an idiot who never met CIA Agent Sarah Walker from the hit TV series Chuck, and in the real version of her life, the intellectual ass kicking continues. This Aussie graduated from the University of Western Sydney and voices for videogames such as Mass Effect Galaxy and Mass Effect 2. You can't judge a book (or a nerd, or a blonde) by the cover!
Summer Glau
Summer makes life seem so much sweeter, especially when it includes Glau playing a sexy Terminator from the future.
Rashida Jones
This Hollywood hottie has done it all, from television (The Office, Parks and Recreation) to the silver screen (I Love You, Man, The Social Network), but she does sure know how to hide her inner nerd. She studied Religion and Philosophy at Harvard University and graduated in 1997. And don't forget to add comic-book geek to her résumé: Ms. Jones has created her own comic-book series, Frenemy of the State.
Alyson Hannigan
This one time...in band camp...well, you know the rest! This American Pie sweetie reminds us all never to underestimate the libido of the band geeks! These days she has wifey'd up as Marshall's sweetheart art nerd, Lily. Her band camp days are long over, but they will always be fresh in our minds!
Kaley Cuoco
The science nerds from the hit television show The Big Bang Theory sure are lucky to have a hottie down the hall. Cuoco's Penny is nerdy by association, making the S in science sound a little sexier.
Rosario Dawson
It's hard to figure out what genre of film this actress hasn't been in, but rest assured she has graced the screens on many a geek flick from comedy to drama to a graphic novel rendition. There's a fantasy flick for all your nerdy needs: Grindhouse: Death Proof for your gory comic-book fanatics, Men in Black II for the alien space theorists and come on, any girl willing to hook up with one of the clerks in Clerks II? Need we say more?
Jennifer Garner
Sure, this actress has been critically acclaimed for her pretty-girl roles in her every-so-often rom-coms, but we're just not yet ready to let go of her geeked-up roles in the (super-cheesy) superhero flick Daredevil (featuring hubby Ben Affleck) and its spinoff Elektra.
Natalie Portman
Natalie has the ability to be the most demure and classy nerd of all time! She's won the hearts of Star Wars fans as Padmé Amidala, perfected her dark and awkward ballerina in Black Swan and even let her activist side spill thruogh in V for Vendetta (as a hottie with a shaved head). Did we mention she has a bachelor's in psychology from Harvard?
