Little Boots

Celebrity,Music,Little Boots Little Boots : Celebrities of the future: Hot new faces for 2009 Tipped for the top by industry insiders, Victoria Hesketh aka Little Boots, is geared up to take 2009 by storm. Her blend of synth-driven electro pop has been compared to the likes of Kate Bush, Gary Numan, Kylie, Goldfrapp and Debbie Harry. Already a hit with You Tubers thanks to her inventive bedroom broadcasts.

Last seen playing Robbie - the heartthrob from Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging - Aaron Johnson looks set to have a rather interesting acting career ahead of him. In 2009, he has two films slated for release - powerful drama The Greatest which also stars Pierce Brosnan and Zoë Kravitz, and comic book flick Kick-Ass directed by Stardust\'s Matthew Vaughn, which also stars Nicolas Cage. On top of that Aaron has just been chosen to play John Lennon in a major new biopic called Nowhere Boy.

Empire Of The Sun

Celebrity,Music,Empire Of The Sun Empire Of The Sun : Celebrities of the future: Hot new faces for 2009 Keep your eyes peeled in 2009 for this gaudy pair of Aussie blokes whose band, Empire Of The Sun, are surely destined for greatness. Luke Steel (formally of Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (formally of Pnau), have already conquered Australia with a ridiculously catchy slice of pop called Walking On A Dream. On top of producing great music, the duo have fashioned themselves a pair of psychedelic personas which no doubt pay homage to their film-filled childhoods. "We are superheroes," announced Luke to the BBC. "We are Emperor Steele and Lord Littlemore." Really? Excellent work, then.

La Roux

Celebrity,Music,La Roux La Roux : Celebrities of the future: Hot new faces for 2009 More electro-tinged pop arrives in 2009 in the form of achingly cool duo La Roux. Managed by the same people as Klaxons, La Roux have already released one single (Quicksand) via hotter than hot record label Kitsune, but we\'ve been told to expect bigger things this year as the pair gear up to release their debut album with big hitters, Polydor Records. La Roux\'s mission statement is to make great pop music and bring back crazy ‘80s hair (see lead singer Elly Jackson\'s Flock of Seagulls-esque cut above). Influences include Prince, YAZOO, Blondie, The Knife and Justice.

Matt Smith

Celebrity,Matt Smith,TV Matt Smith : Celebrities of the future: Hot new faces for 2009 When, after months of hype and speculation, the BBC announced that the man set to become the 11th Doctor was a young chap called Matt Smith, the world collectively yelled "(Doctor) Who?!" At 26 years old, he\'s the youngest actor ever to take on the role, which officially becomes his after David Tennant steps down in 2010. Matt\'s CV is a mixed bag which includes stints as a footballer for Nottingham Forrest and Leicester City youth, followed by theatre work which at one point saw him star opposite Christian Slater in Swimming With Sharks. His biggest TV role to date was in BBC Two\'s 2007 political drama Party Animals.

Freddie Stroma

Celebrity,Film,Freddie Stroma Freddie Stroma : Celebrities of the future: Hot new faces for 2009

He could be the next Robert Pattinson if he plays his cards right. Set to appear in this year\'s Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince as Hermione\'s swaggering love interest Connor McCormack, 21-year-old Freddie Stroma certainly has the dashing good looks - but does he have the charisma to become ‘the next big thing\'?
