Katy Perry took the top spot in 2010 Maxim Top 100 Hot List

It is not just her colorful career and being engaged to Russell Brand are intriguing, Katy Perry's hottest woman title in the world in the latest Maxim Top 100 Hot 2010 list is also creating a buzz!

According to Maxim, "The perfect Perry first caught our attention in 2008 with her smash hit, “I Kissed a Girl”—and we liked it. Yeah, we were more than okay with Katy’s kiss-and-tell attitude and the bi-curious beauty has been on our radar ever since."

Maxim's editor-in-chief Joe Levy said, "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."

Surely, many will not agree with this list and sadly to say Sports Illustrated cover girl Brooklyn Decker just ranked No. 2 and Avatar’s Zoe Saldana at third.

Megan Fox, who was No. 2 last year, slipped to No. 5 while last year’s #1 girl Olivia Wilde slides down to 20th spot.

BTW, Jennifer Aniston is not in the list.
