Washington, May 15 : She landed the coveted Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover in February and now supermodel Marisa Miller has been named the ‘World’s Hottest Woman’ for this year by Maxim magazine.

The American beauty beats out 99 other hot women including Scarlett Johansson to top Maxim’s annual countdown of lovely ladies, reports Contactmsuic.

At number three was Jessica Biel while Eva Longoria-Parker landed at the fourth spot.

Rounding off the top five was Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Magazine editor James Kaminsky said that Miller was his choice because ‘she represents the return of the great American supermodel’.

The top 10 on the new Hot 100 list is:

1. Marisa Miller

Maxim says Marisa Miller is the hottest. FHM says Megan Fox is the sexiest. Which beauty do you think is better looking?

2. Scarlett Johansson

According to a 2008 poll in Maxim, Scarlett Johansson is the second hottest person in the world. In related news, Ryan Reynolds has seen her naked. Often.

3. Jessica Biel

Think Jessica Biel is attractive? Readers of Maxim sure do. They voted her the third hottest woman in the world during the magazine’s 2008 poll.

4. Eva Longoria-Parker

Why was Eva Longoria Parker voted the fourth hottest woman in the world for 2008 by Maxim? Do you really need to ask? Can you not see the photo above?

5. Sarah Michelle Gellar

Is Sarah Michelle Gellar the fifth hottest person on the planet? Maxim has deemed her as such in its annual poll of hotness.

6. Elisha Cuthbert

Granted, the character played by Elisha Cuthbert on the TV show 24 was beyond annoying. Still, it’s hard to argue with her ranking of number-six on Maxim’s 2008 poll of the hottest women in the world.

7. Eva Mendes

Don’t stop the presses for this photo. Eva Mendes may be half-naked in it, but that’s not too unusual for the actress. Take a look around her picture gallery and you’ll see what we mean.

8. Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera is a new mother and, therefore, hasn’t been seen on tour recently. But that doesn’t mean the singer has been forgotten. Maxim ranked her at the eighth hottest woman in the world for 2008.

9. Lindsay Lohan

Does anyone in the world - seriously, ANYone - think Linday Lohan is better looking than Megan Fox? For some reason (i.e. Lohan’s publicist paying the magazine), Maxim has ranked Lohan as the ninth hottest person on the planet for 2008.

10. Ashley Tisdale (ANI)

Ashley Tisdale is cute. She’s a decent singer. We like her in High School Musical. But is she really the 10th hottest woman in the world, as Maxim dubbed her in a 2008 poll?
