Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Tops Maxim Hot 100 List

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has topped Maxim's annual Hot 100 List. Bit of a surprise choice for Earth's hottest woman, but not a bad one, we gotta admit.

The British model and actress, who stars in this summer's Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, certainly had competition, and was humbled by the selection.

Of her #1 ranking among desirable females, Huntington-Whiteley – photographed scantily clad with a sultry pout – tells the magazine it's "a huge honor."

She adds: "It's a great title to have and you can have some fun with it, I think."

That's one way to look at it. Some other notables from the Hot 100 List were ...

• Cameron Diaz (No. 4)
• Scarlett Johansson (No. 14)
• Kate Middleton (No. 26)
• Brooklyn Decker (No. 36)
• Minka Kelly (No. 52)

The full Maxim 100 list includes models, musicians, actresses and sports stars, among other celebs. Who would you have ranked #1 on such a list?
