Maxim Hot 100 List Released

Maxim Magazine (link below) continues its streak of arbitrarily ranking the hottest women in the world from 1-100. Well, maybe not the world, but the hottest famous women at least. 

This year's list is loaded with sexy singers, actresses, personalities, and models, and the Top 10 is just about as sexy as you can get. And about as white as you can get as well. The highest ranked non-white person on the list is Rihanna at 11. Nevertheless, it's hard to think which of these ladies we'd bump out of the Top 10. Check out the ladies below, and head over to the site to see 11-100.

10. Cara Delevingne

This beautiful Brit is one of the few Victoria's Secret models that has also successfully made the transition to acting, thanks to her roles in the critically acclaimed film Anna Karenina as well as the upcoming live action Peter Pan film simply titled Pan.

9. Mila Kunis

According to Maxim, Mila's slipping of late. Maybe it has something to do with her association with Ashton Kutcher. She was ranked 3rd in 2012 and 4th in 2013, so it's odd to see her fall a full five places this year, but as long as there's a list, you know she'll be at or near the top of it.

8. Jessica Alba

Unlike Mila, Jessica's been heading up the list every year. After ranking 33rd in 2012 and 17th last year, Jessica finally cracks the Top 10, probably thanks to her increased profile surrounding the release of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For this summer.

7. Alessandra Ambrosio

Brazil's all over the news thanks to the upcoming World Cup, so it's no surprise to see their sexiest export of all, Alessandra Ambrosio, in the Top 10. As the spokesmodel for Victoria's Secret PINK campaign, she's never had a higher profile than she does right now.

6. Zooey Deschanel

With a hugely successful television show, singing career, and film career under her belt, it's no surprise to see Zooey on this year's list. Just last year she was ranked 95th (16 spots behind Hoda Kotb... WTF??), so hers is the biggest leap on the entire list. 

5. Jennifer Lawrence

This one needs zero explanation. None. The only surprising thing is that Jennifer's not ranked higher. In fact, she's in the exact same position she was in last year.

4. Irina Shayk

Russia's all over the news these days for various reasons, so it seems like a no-brainer to include Irina Shayk, perhaps the hottest women to call the world's largest country home. 

3. Katy Perry

Moving up eight spots this year is the hottest pop star around, Katy Perry. Newly single yet again, Katy had a huge year thanks to the success of her album Prism, for which she just kicked off a world tour at the beginning of this month.

2. Scarlett Johansson

Coming off her first nude scene ever in Under the Skin, as well as a major role in the Oscar-winning film Her, Scarlett just missed the top of the mountain. We have a feeling that by next year, with the release of the sequel to The Avengers, she might make it to the head of the class.

1. Candice Swanepoel

Another huge leap from last year to this year, Candice was ranked 64th last year and now she's on top of the world, looking down on creation and the only explanation we can find is that Maxim came to their senses over the last 12 months. Congrats Candice, you most definitely deserve it.
