God bless American and Jaime Pressley. The “My name is Earl” star is hitting the big screen this year with the videogame-to-movie action flick “D.O.A.”, about volleyball players from around the world converging on an island to do battle for, er, something or rather. Does it really matter? Check out Jaime Pressley in an American-theme bikini from the film, complete with awesome abs.

The original American Idol has always been a little, shall we say, generous when it comes to having junk in the trunk. So it’s surprising to see Kelly Clarkson now, five years removed from the show, starting on her way to tight abs. She’s not quite there just yet, but you can see the improvement. In a year or so, Kelly should have kicked her eating habits with a good trainer and gotten herself back into the gym and come out with some kickass abs. At least, one can only hope.

Talk about a blast from the past! Back in the ’80s and early ’90s, Kathy Ireland ruled the fashion runways, magazines, and Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit editions. The combination of a pretty face, a gorgeous body, and some very incredible abs made her a stunner in every way. Here are some memories from the past — golden oldies? Try golden abbies!

R&B/hip-hop guys are known for their great body and tight abs, but you wouldn’t think the girls were equally up to being ablicious. Christina Milian proves all that wrong. No one is as hot as she is, especially when her stomach is exposed. Check out those killer abs, and tell me this girl doesn’t spend half of her day in the gym. Damn! Work it, girl, work it!

It wasn’t that long ago (just a few months ago, in fact) when the Internet was abuzz with pictures of a very fat Janet Jackson. Well that was a few months ago, and this is now, and Janet Jackson has not only taken off the pounds, but she’s gone a complete 180 degrees. Not only is she in great shape, but she’s once again sporting those incredible abs we’re used to seeing from her. Daaaaaaaaamn, girl!

Who knew Miss USA could ever look this good? Sure, we all expect them to be pretty and even beautiful, but to have this kind of incredible abs? Unbelievable! But here’s Tara Conner, showing that you can be both wholesome and hot and sport some incredible abs at the same time. Look out, world, here comes Miss USA!

Most models, especially the ones who become famous enough to be called “supermodels”, all have great bodies, but it’s rare you see someone like Marisa Miller, who doesn’t just have a great body, but fantastic abs. This California girl has definitely worked on that midsection, including a stint in Perfect 10 magazine, known for their all-natural girls. Here’s Marisa working the runway. Wow those are some tight abs!

Kristen Bell is the young star of the teen mystery show “Veronica Mars”, which i think is either on the WB or UPN or one of those teen-centric networks. Anyways, here’s Veronica in Shape Magazine, showing up with some incredible abs. Well eat my grits and slap me silly! I didn’t know the young lady had it in here!

I’m somewhat shock to see that “Laguna Beach” star Kristin Cavallari has some pretty nice abs on her. I mean, I know she’s pretty, but when did rich girls with no jobs started working out enough that they would have washboard abs? Oh my. She certainly looks great, doesn’t she? One ticket to Laguna Beach, please!

British lass Keira Knightley (”Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Domino”) is one of England’s best imports. Not only is she incredibly talented, but just take a look at that long, lean physique, topped off with some incredible abs. She would look more “buff” if she had more meat on her bones, but what’s there now ain’t bad at all, kiddos.
