Maxim Magazine has published their Hot 100 list for 2006. Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria tops the list with the number one spot for the second year in a row.
Rounding out the Top 10: Jessica Alba (#2), Lindsay Lohan (#3), Angelina Jolie (#4), Stacy Keibler (#5), Scarlett Johansson (#6), Cameron Diaz (#7), Kate Bosworth (#8), Keira Knightley (#9), and Christina Milian (#10).
Each year, Maxim 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: buzz, beauty, and a future. Editors select which of these women will keep people talking throughout the next year.
“The Maxim Hot 100 continues to get hotter, and it is all because of girls like Eva Longoria, who always looks sensational and continues to reach new heights in her career,” said publisher Rob Gregory.
Eva Longoria exclaimed, “I was floored that Maxim named me #1 for the second year in a row.” She continued, “Maxim and their readers have been so amazing to me, not only have they made it possible to see me from space, but to choose me out of so many beautiful women for the second time is unbelievably flattering.”
Past top picks include, Jessica Simpson (2004), Christina Aguilera (2003), Jennifer Garner (2002) and Jessica Alba (2001). Maxim selects women for the Hot 100 that they feel will break new ground in the years to come.
In 2004, Maxim first brought Eva Longoria to our attention (#91) before Desperate Housewives even existed. #2 Jessica Alba who not only was the first number Hot 100 girl, but year after year has continuously been in the Top 10, moving up this year to the second spot from 5th last year.
Reality stars have a strong presence to this year’s Maxim hot 100 list. Newcomer to the list, debuting in the Top 10, Dancing with the Stars long-leg beauty, Stacy Keibler (#5). While season one winner, Kelly Monaco, takes her stand at #13. Kristin Cavallari also makes her debut on the list (#23) only weeks after rumors of connecting with Nick Lachey.
Just as they have in the past, women in music also dominate Hot 100 list. Christina Milian (#10), Christina Aguilera (#16), Jessica Simpson (#18), Mariah Carey (#22), Avril Lavigne (#35), and Fergie (#36) are just a few of the successful, female artists that grace this year’s list.
