Vote for your favorite MARILYN MONROE among the many celebrities that have paid tribute to the unforgettable Hollywood icon who defined what it was to be a sex symbol. Do any of these 11 female stars below have what it takes to be Marilyn?

Let’s take Michelle Williams, for starters. She’s playing the famous “dumb blonde” in “My Week With Marilyn” that’s scheduled to premier at the New York Film Festival in October, and posed for Vogue Magazine to promote her movie…

What about our favorite curvy Avenger, Scarlett Johansson here who’s channeling the sex icon in a Dolce & Gabanna ad. Scarlett‘s had a spot of trouble with some hacked nude pics that’ve gone viral recently. Didn’t Marilyn pose nude at the start of her career, too?

And here’s down-on-her-luck Lindsay Lohan, who may have thought posing as Marilyn in her nudest best for photographer Bert Stern in New York magazine would give her flagging career a jumpstart. Too bad she loves partying more…

Eerily enough, Anna Nicole Smith, posing here for a PETA campaign, went out like a light just like Marilyn did – from a drug overdose. And both their deaths were the subject of much press, scandal, and top secret intrigue…

Hmmm…Christina Aguilera borrowed a bit of Marilyn for her Royal Desire perfume ad. We’re not so sure about this one. Both of them have chests to beat, but only one features a powerful set of lungs…

And her Madgesty herself, Madonna, dyed her naturally brunette hair a curious honey blonde to do a spoof of Marilyn for “Material Girl,” maybe Madge was a bit too racy to capture the spirit of the real thing?

Also, while we lust after Angelina Jolie‘s pillow lips and the erotic promise in her eyes, we just can’t see her as Marilyn in this Douglas Kirkland photograph. For one thing, she’s too bony. For another, she likes blood and knives… *shudder*

Uh…Paris Hilton did “Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend” for her flop of a film, “The Hottie And The Nottie”. How far from Marilyn can you actually get?

Way back in 2008, Nicole Kidman did a Marilyn cover for Harper’s Bazaar for their 10th anniversary issue. We’re thinking maybe more curves around the chest area?

And here’s Kate Moss for New York Magazine in 2009, doing an au naturel Marilyn…only we think she looks more like a sleepy and washed out Brigitte Bardot to us:

Coco being Coco, has tried to channel Marilyn on her photoblog Coco‘s World with this classic upskirt pose in that iconic white halter dress. We’re thinking maybe less cleavage, and only a subtle parting of the lips without any hint of tonsils?

And if you’ve even wondered what Marilyn would look like as a Goth (or perhaps a tattooed gangster moll) here’s Amber Rose in last year’s YRB Magazine spread…

And finally we have busty blonde Jessica Simpson herself…before she got too fat, that is….who recreated Marilyn‘s final photo shoot for Esquire Magazine in 2008. Uh…did Marilyn really shave?

So did we miss anyone? Besides the real Marilyn, that is…
