NEW YORK - Lindsay Lohan has emerged as the hottest woman on the list of the 100 hottest women released by Maxim magazine. Not surprisingly Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are not featured on this elite list.
Lohan was on the 4th spot in 2005 and jumped to the 3rd position in 2006. This year she beat "Desperate Housewives" actress Eva Longoria for the top honor. The former was placed ninth this year after topping the charts for the previous two years.
Jessica Alba claimed the second spot this year followed by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Biel in the top five. Others to make it to the top 10 include Ali Larter, Eva Mendez, Rihanna and Fergie.
Maxim's editor-in-chief Jimmy Jellinik said Lohan's popularity was unparalleled. "There is no other star in the world that causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay. Her every move is watched and reported on," he said in a statement.
The 20-year-old Lohan who is recently out of rehab said in a statement she was honored to be on the top. "I couldn't be more flattered to be honored as the No. 1 girl in Maxim's Hot 100 list!" Lohan said in the statement.
