CHICAGO – Maxim released their annual Hot 100 this week and made a surprising choice for their #1 slot, choosing “House” star Olivia Wilde over the popular favorite, Megan Fox of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”.

Maxim’s Editor in Chief, Joe Levy, said, as quoted by NBC, “Olivia Wilde has been the sexiest woman on television since she heated up ‘The O.C.’ five years ago. She’s smart, she’s beautiful, and she has dual citizenship in the US and Ireland - what more can a man ask for?”

Olivia Wilde currently stars as ‘Thirteen’ on FOX’s “House” and is also filming the highly-anticipated “Tron 2.0”. She will next be seen in this summer’s comedy “Year One” with Jack Black and Michael Cera. Previous credits include “The Black Donnellys,” “Turistas,” “Alpha Dog,” “The O.C.,” and “The Girl Next Door”.

Megan Fox, one of the hottest women online when it comes to internet searches and movie fans for her role in “Transformers” and the upcoming Michael Bay sequel and “Jennifer’s Body” came in second. The magazine writes, “Seriously, do women get more painfully hot than this? Megan Fox has the face of an angel, a body so perfect that God may have carved it out of soap…and sex appeal that could melt a unicorn’s horn.”

The gal pal of Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio and the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, Bar Refaeli, came in third. Malin Akerman of “Watchmen” and Mila Kunis of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” round out the top five.

The rest of the top ten, in order - Eliza Dushku of “Dollhouse,” model Adriana Lima, singer Rihanna, “Fast & Furious“‘s Jordana Brewster, and “The Ghost Whisperer“‘s Jennifer Love Hewitt.

#11-20 include some predictable choices like Jessica Alba (#13), Jessica Biel (#11), and Marisa Miller (#18), along with a few surprises like Katy Perry (#15) and Chan Marshall aka Cat Power (#19).

And, for the first time, a First Lady has made the list with Michelle Obama landing at number 93 between model Joanna Krupa and “Chuck” star Yvonne Strahovski.
