Jessica Biel Named 'Most Dangerous Celebrity' On The Web

NEW YORK — Jessica Biel is the most dangerous celebrity on the Web.

Security technology company McAfee Inc. on Tuesday reported that searches for the 27-year-old actress are more likely to lead to online threats such as spyware and viruses than searches for any other celebrity.

McAfee said fans searching for the actress have a one-in-five chance of ending up at a Web site designed to damage one's computer. Its the third annual report on the subject from McAfee, which last year found that Brad Pitt was the "most dangerous" celeb online.

"Cybercriminals are star watchers, too," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's product development. "They latch onto popular celebrities to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise."

Following Biel in the report, in order, were Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Brady and Jessica Simpson. McAfee noted President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are curiously safe searches, ranking no. 34 and no. 39, respectively.

Hurt me, baby, hurt me!

She was certainly dangerous in her mediocre performance at the Hollywood Bowl this summer in "Guys and Dolls." Aside from admiring her attempt to delve again into musical theater after a very long hiatus, Ms. Biel sang only passably and her acting onstage was really high-school level. And man, is she tiny! I'd imagined her from her photos to be statuesque, but she's Kristen Chenoweth-size. All that aside, she's a beauty.

I recently saw a movie she starred in and have to say, she's gorgeous, but what a DUD of an actress. She brought the whole film down with her performance.

[Rayme]

But she's so hot, a little computer virus never hurt anyone (just the computer)

[Vicks123]

I will not ever google this lady.

Thanx for advice

[KarateKid]

The lesson here is: surf her sites on a Mac. I'm still safe on my iMac.

[wadenelson1]

Uh oh. Maybe I shouldn't have clicked here.

Biel has been a malcontent ever since her stint on "7th Heaven," when she stated she could hardly wait to get out of there and into major Hollywood siren-hood. She is very much full of herself and her high opinion of her looks is subjective and not at all unanimous. That she has since been most known for being a repository for J. Timberlake's sperm and not anything close to a film career should tell her that arrogance is not becoming.

[barrista]

Someone's jealous.

[flurryup]

Agreed Rob2007.

[La-Shaun Latore]

Oh dear, lol

[seachild]

she's gorgeous...justin loves her....and when did arrogance become a problem in hollywood?!

get over it

[Holypat777]

Actually, arrogance IS the biggest problem in Hollywood. Just sayin' . . . I've never seen anything she's done and I really could care less.

When they said she was the "most dangerous celebrity" I thought she had beaten up a bunch of paparazzi or something.

[sawbuck]

dangerous as in causing car crashes every time she crosses the street??

[EmeraldWorld]

Didn't know she was even that popular. I remember when she was on the 7th Heaven series. That was...not one of the best shows on TV.

[jonyx]

I watched it simply because it made me roll around in laughter at how seriously it seemed to take itself. It was good comic relief :(

[JonShank]

Back where I came from we had a saying about women like Jessica Biel... "Let's date 'em!" (Borrowed from Cheers)

[BigAl72]

She is so gorgeous. Catching a virus from her would be an honor. An internet virus of course.

[KarateKid]

LMAO!!

[TurnToTheLeft]

I am glad i use a MacbookPro to surf the internet.

[solid]

Haha! I'm on a MacBook. But be careful, you won't get a virus, but there is still a possibility of malware po oping up your MBP. Don't download from disreputable sites.

[dailyrev]

What a relief -- as long as Natalie Portman's not on that list, I'm safe.

[Curdleberg]

Even if her pictures cause viruses, I can see why they would be worth it to most guys. I used to look like her in my 20s (okay, maybe not...)
