Maxim releases its annual Hot 100 list. Lesbians everywhere release a collective yawn.By Grace Chu |
Until the REAL Hot 100 List comes out June 2nd, we can amuse ourselves with Maxim’s annual Hot 100 list, which was released a couple of weeks ago and which Maxim touts as “The ultimate list of the world’s most beautiful women.” Appearing in the “ultimate list” are the following:

It looks like the ultimate woman, according to Maxim, has been to rehab more times than Robert Downey, Jr., has her own category on Go Fug Yourself, and sings about her stripper friends. In other words, some of the entries on Maxim’s list not only challenge the old saying, “There is no disputing about taste,” but turn it right on its head.Maxim’s top 10 are as follows:
10. Ashley Tisdale
9. Lindsay Lohan
8. Christina Aguilera
7. Eva Mendes
6. Elisha Cuthbert
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar
4. Eva Longoria
3. Jessica Biel
2. Scarlett Johansson
1. Marisa Miller (who?!)
Amateurs. (But they stole Buffy!)
Who do you think will be in the top 10 in AfterEllen’s list? Here’s my prediction, in no particular order:
- Jennifer Beals
- Jill Bennett
- Ellen Page
- Tina Fey
- Angelina Jolie
- Leisha Hailey
- Padma Lakshmi
- Portia de Rossi
- Kristanna Loken
- Natalie Portman
(Although many of us believe that certain Food Channel chefs should be in the Top 10, wishing will probably not make it so, sadly. For guidance, here is last year’s list.)
Update: The Real Hot 100 List is up!

at the risk of sounding like a total ass … i am so in love with Leona lewis it’s not even funny … mostly to do with her album and the lyrics … and i’m not talking about her hit single Bleeding Love … she can sing her ass off and it’s nice to see someone out there with real talent! … hope she makes the list

It seems that anyone talented on the radio nowadays is a British import. Have you heard Duffy yet?

Yeah, Padma is my number 1. Allthough I have to confess that lately I’ve been having the serious hots for Ugly Betty’s sister Hilda. (Watching shows about food all the time made me too hungry so I switched to Ugly Betty.)

I wanted to post something about brains, not breasts, but then again, I didn’t want to be accused of being some kind of normative sexist pig… so I’ll just go profess my undying love for Nigella in the corner next to DATC, who is worshipping at Padma’s altar.

The irony of “Buffy” appearing on Maxim’s Hot 100 list is maddening. Argh!
