Maxim has unveiled their highly anticipated 6th annual Hot 100 list. Desperate Housewives Eva Longoria heads up the list. Rounding out the Top 10: Lost breakout actress Evangeline Lilly, Alias’s Jennifer Garner, Herbie: Fully Loaded’s Lindsay Lohan, Fantastic Four’s Jessica Alba, The O.C.’s, Rachel Bilson, Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s Angelina Jolie, Sin City’s Brittany Murphy, Dukes of Hazzard star Jessica Simpson, and D.E.B.S.’ Sara Foster.
Each year, Maxim Magazine chooses 100 of the most successful women of the year in film, television, music, sports, and fashion. All of the women on the list have several things in common, a tremendous amount of buzz surrounding them, undeniable beauty, and a promise of greater things to come. Editors select which of these women will keep people talking throughout the year.
“The Maxim Hot 100 is the end result of a process in which experts examine thousands of beautiful women and refine them down to the very hottest,” says Maxim Editor-in-Chief Ed Needham. “These are the women whose names are on the lips of people the world over.”
Longoria, who has seen her stardom rocket since the premiere of ABC’s Desperate Housewives, says of her top status, “This year has been amazing for me. To be on the number one television show and for Maxim to choose me as number one on their Hot 100 list is incredible.”
Longoria joins past top picks, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Garner, and Jessica Alba. Each girl continues to captivate audiences and garner worldwide attention. Maxim selects women for the Hot 100 that they think will break new ground in the years to come. In 2004, Maxim first brought Eva Longoria to our attention before Desperate Housewives even existed.
The Maxim Hot 100 supplement will be available with the June issue of Maxim Magazine featuring Las Vegas actress Vanessa Marcil on the cover. The June issue also features a layout with The L Word’s Sarah Shahi, Celebrity Advisor column with Anthony Michael Hall and a Q&A with Entourage’s Kevin Dillon. VH1 will air a one-hour special hosted by Rachel Perry on May 22.
