Katy Perry named world's hottest woman by Maxim

New York (ANI): Katy Perry has topped Maxim's 2010 Hot 100 List, knocking last year's winner, 'House' star Olivia Wilde, down to No. 20. Perry was chosen for being 'a triple - no, quadruple - kind of hot', Maxim Editor-in-Chief Joe Levy tells UsMagazine.com.

"It's that feeling you get when you suddenly realize that the smartest, funniest, coolest girl you know also happens to the best looking and a pretty good skateboarder, too. All of sudden, your crush goes supernova, and this is Katy's supernova moment."

Model Brooklyn Decker came in second place on the list, reports The New York Daily News. "This fiery Victoria's Secret model makes even our female staff stop and stare," Levy said. "Avatar" star Zoe Saldana came in third, beating out "Gossip Girl" beauty Blake Lively, who was named No. 4.

Megan Fox slipped three spots to No. 5. Rounding out the 'hot' top 10 is Rihanna, George Clooney's Italian girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, Olivia Munn, Kim Kardashian and model Marisa Miller.
