The top three for the Maxim Hot 100 list is Mila Kunis ranked in the number three spot with Olivia Munn ahead of her in number two. The top ten is rounded out by Katy Perry, Olivia Wilde, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki.

For the first time in Maxim history, readers were part of the voting and selecting process of the Hot List 100. With readers a part of the process, for the first year a man and a cartoon made it on the list. Stephen Colbert ranked at number 69 and Lois Griffin from Family Guy made 85th rank.

Editor Dan Bova says Maxim put a list of suggestions online but then write-ins were allowed. “The Colbert Nation turned out in force. As we say: Democracy isn’t pretty, but this time, it was downright handsome.”

On the Maxim website it states: “Our fellow Americans: As we’re reminded every four years, democracy is the cornerstone upon which our great land is built. That’s why this year, for the first time in Hot 100 history, we let you, the readers of Maxim, weigh in on who should comprise the definitive list of the world’s most beautiful women. From movie stars to murder suspects to a cartoon, here are the sexy results. God bless America!”

Bova added letting the readers vote has said a lot about what their preferences are. He says that readers just don’t appreciate beautiful women, but also want women with a sense of humor. “Maxim readers not only appreciate a beautiful-looking woman. They like women who have a great sense of fun, who are kind of like guy’s guys. A lot of these women are in comedies or are just big personalities. They’re not above it all. They like to do silly things. And I think our guys respond to a woman who is not only beautiful, she’s also approachable. She would probably be the coolest person on Earth to hang out with.”

Winner of Maxim Hot 100 Bar Refaeli said in a phone call interview from Israel about topping the list, “Every year, it’s a different girl that I look up to. For me to be among them, it’s an honor. I am shocked that among all these beautiful ladies, I’m number one. Thank you so much for voting for me! I’m truly honored. This is the title I will never forget.”

Megan Fox Previous Ranks:
2011 – #17
2010 – #5
2009 – #2
2008 – #16

The outrageous film, which stars Sacha, 40, as General Admiral Aladeen, has taken a massive £5million in its opening weekend.

It is bigger than previous hit comedies, including The Hangover and Bridesmaids, and matches Cohen’s previous movie Bru?no.

The Dictator, which sees Sacha’s character bed Hollywood babe Megan Fox, 26, knocked previous No 1 Avengers Assemble off the top spot.

In the film, General Admiral Aladeen goes to New York to address the United Nations but is abducted, replaced by a double and lands on the streets minus his trademark beard.

Today is Megan Fox’s 26th birthday! I just wanted to say Happy Birthday from all the staff here at m-fox.org! May all your wishes come true!

The “Transformers” beauty was said to be in the early stages of her pregnancy in March, but she and Green have yet to properly address the claims and Fox fueled the baby gossip last week by cutting short a TV interview on “Entertainment Tonight” when reporter Steve Jones breached guidelines and confronted her about news she is expecting.

Now Green has brushed off the “interesting” rumors, although he fails to actually confirm or deny the latest pregnancy reports.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star tells People.com, “They’ve been saying that (Fox is pregnant) every three months ever since we got married, and it’s sort of one of those things that they love to say.

“I think it’s interesting. I think there is a part of Megan that people really love that is, at 18 she found a relationship and she stuck with it, and we’ve been together for coming on eight years now. It will be our two-year wedding anniversary, but we’ve been together for a long time. She doesn’t represent what people are used to seeing in a young actress.”

One thing Green is more forthcoming about is the couple’s plans for its upcoming anniversary – revealing they will return to the Hawaiian island where they wed in June, 2010.

He says, “I think we’ll be going back to where we got married. That’s sort of our thing.

“Last year when we went, they had one tier of the same wedding cake that we had, and they decorated the room the same, so it was special all over again. They do it right.”

Borat and Brüno fans rejoice. Ultimate British prankster Sacha Baron Cohen has dusted off his comedic skills and is in full promotional swing for his latest masterpiece, The Dictator.

Sacha dons a black beard and shades as Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen, corrupt leader of The Republic of Wadiya whose population “changes depending on my mood.” Admiral Aladeen found the time in his busy schedule of executions and “sex activity” to swing by the Today show and chat briefly with Matt Lauer.

Along with ruling 4 million people, Aladeen claims to have had trysts with Megan Fox, Katy Perry and… Oprah.

“Oprah?” asks Matt. Aladeen raises his eyebrows and nods his head yes.

“Megan Fox now she is pregnant,” he said. “She wants to get child support. What does she think? I’m the richest man in the world? I’m actually the seventh richest.”

Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Jon Hamm star alongside Jennifer Westfeldt and Adam Scott in ‘Friends with Kids,’ a daring and hilarious ensemble comedy about a close-knit circle of friends whose lives change once they have kids. The last two singles in the group (Westfeldt and Scott) observe the effect that kids have had on their friends’ relationships and wonder if there’s a better way to make it work. When they decide to have a child together and date other people, their unconventional “experiment” leads everyone in the group to question the nature of friendship, family and, above all, true love. Written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt and also starring Chris O’Dowd, Megan Fox and Edward Burns, ‘Friends with Kids’ delivers the laughs and the heart from beginning to end!

‘Friends with Kids’ will feature a 1080p, 1.78:1 image. It will also have a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 English track. English and Spanish subtitles will be included.

Blu-ray special features include deleted scenes with optional commentary; a gag reel; a making-of featurette; and an audio commentary starring Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm, and director of photography Will Rexer.

The Blu-ray has a suggested retail price of $39.99.

The former host of “The X Factor “was chatting to the “Transformers” star about her new gig as the face of gadgets store The Sharper Image for “Entertainment Tonight” when he asked Fox about her favorite toy.

He then stumped her when he quipped, “Do you know the ultimate gadget that every man wants? A baby.”

A puzzled Fox replied, “A baby?” She then added, “Oh, I know where you’re going with this …”

The actress has yet to address ongoing reports suggesting she is expecting her first child with husband Brain Austin Green.

Jones pressed on and asked, “Any plans to give anybody a baby?”

Fox talked over the interviewer and said, “You hear the grumbles … No, no,” before a publicist could be heard urging him to wrap up the interview.

The TV host ended the brief chat by stating, “Either way, Megan, it was a pleasure talking to you.”

Speaking on the show after the interview, Jones joked, “I’d like to formerly apologize to Ms. Fox for attacking her with the word baby. Thankfully, there was a publicist there to stop me.”

Megan Fox is bringing her smoldering sex appeal to a new ad campaign for gadget-seller Sharper Image and ET’s Steve Jones sat down with the actress to find out her own definition of sexy and to get her thoughts on why she’s often portrayed as “naughty.”

The Transformers star — who is married to actor Brian Austin Green — is the first celebrity to do a full campaign for Sharper Image and she promises the ads bring plenty of sex appeal to the company’s high-tech products. “It’s not what you would necessarily expect when you think of Sharper Image,” she said.
