Olivia Wilde

When Olivia Wilde was named the world's most beautiful woman by Maxim, we had our doubts.

After all, we've seen Marisa Miller pictures. We've spent hours drooling over Megan Fox photos. We've had to have Brooklyn Decker images surgically removed from our hands.

Wilde is very pretty and all, but the world is a big place. It seemed like an undeserved honor.

Our overall opinion hasn't changed, but this photo spread of the House star definitely helps her cause. No offense, Shawn Johnson. But you're no longer the cutest gymnast on TV...

Maxim has released its "2009 Hot 100," the magazine's definitive list of the world’s most beautiful women, and topping the list is ... actress Olivia Wilde.

Without giving away House spoilers, we'll just say the 25-year-old puts the McDoctors of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice to shame with her sexiness.

"When it comes to TV docs, there's only one who makes our body temperatures rise," the venerable men's publication extolls. We were drooling over the NYC native long before she was injected into Fox's hit medical drama."

Certainly hard to argue with that. Here's this year's winner ...

WILDE CARD: Olivia Wilde bested Megan Fox to win the coveted honor of Maxim's hottest female of 2009. No small feat, as this is Megan Fox's reason for being.

Here's the full top 10 on this year's Maxim Hot List ...

At this year's SAG Awards, those on the red carpet bore witness to what House viewers have been saying for months:

Olivia Wilde is hot!!!

The lovely actress stopped traffic at the ceremony, as she posed for (very lucky) photographers at this weekend's ceremony. To wit:

Late last year, Beyonce arrived at a Madrid award ceremony sporting the black Reem Acra gown seen below.

Earlier this week, House actress Olivia Wilde made many critics' Best Dressed list at the Golden Globes for her violet version of the same dress.

Now, we pose this difficult question to our loyal celebrity gossip followers: Who looks better?

As if wanting to talk about sex and posing in her bikini wasn't enough, Megan Fox also had this to say to GQ in its latest issue:

I could see myself in a relationship with a girl; Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She's mesmerizing.

There's only one follow-up to that classic quote, isn't there? A photo montage of Olivia Wilde, who currently stars on the hit drama House.

Enjoy...

The movie Alpha Dog got a lot of attention because it starred Justin Timberlake.

But the film still being discussed at water coolers and across celebrity gossip blogs everywhere for one reason:

A certain former co-star The OC gets very naked.

And fortunately we're not talking about Mischa Barton.

But a nude Olivia Wilde - the gal who played tonsil hockey with Barton's thin character on the show for a few episodes - has an explicit sex scene in the movie. It's one that can scarcely be summed up by the photo here, but we had to try. 

It's worth renting Alpha Dog just for this bare body of work.

It's also almost worth not killing animals just to abide by nude Holly Madison advertisements. But we'll leave that up to you.

Katie Lee Joel is used to serving up entrees and segues as the former host of the reality show, Top Chef. But is the wife of Billy Joel ready to get served in this fashion face-off?

Pictured below, Katie Lee looks pretty - but she's really no match for the other two vixens wearing the same dress. One, of course, is Paris Hilton. And she deserves props for simply wearing clothes.

(But if you wish to see Paris Hilton nude at all, we've got your hook-up).

The third competitor in this clash is Olivia Wilde, former lesbian on The OC and current star of the new NBC show, The Black Donnellys.

So, who do you think looks the best in this outfit? And how long until Brody Jenner makes a move on her?

We tried to tell you.

All those people that mistakenly drooled over Mischa Barton during her time on The OC were missing out on the best looking gal on the show.

And, no, we're not talking about Rachel Bilson. Even though that cutie will always have a place in our heart.

But not like Olivia Wilde does. The actress who played Marissa's lesbian lover for not nearly enough episodes in Season Three proved herself as a genuine talent. And not a bad looker, either.

Need further evidence? Go watch the Justin Timberlake movie, Alpha Dog. But leave after Olivia gets naked - there's nothing else worth remembering about the film.

Or you could just check out these pictures.
