And now, for a little super-hotness: Eva Green

Tonight's dose of hotness, to ease your mind from all the unpleasant news swirling around. Here's a subject much more pleasant to contemplate:

From IMDB - Eva Green:

Eva Green was born Eva Gaëlle Green on July 5, 1980, in Paris, France. She has a non-identical twin sister. Her father, named Walter Green, is a Swedish dentist who once appeared in the 1966 film Au hasard Balthazar (1966).
