Joining Lohan on the Top 10 list are Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria and Fergie.

The 8th annual MAXIM Hot 100 list continues to be a barometer of Hollywood cool. Each year, MAXIM chooses 100 of the most successful women of the year in film, television, music, sports and fashion.

"With out fail MAXIM's Hot 100 list is a complete list of the hottest women in the world who all possess these amazing characteristics. These women are currently on everyone's minds and will only continue to become more popular as the year progresses," added Jellinik.

Thrilled by the news, Lohan said "I couldn't be more flattered to be honored as the number 1 girl in Maxim's Hot 100 list!" Lohan joins past #1 picks, Eva Longoria (2006 & 2005), Jessica Simpson (2004), Christina Aguilera (2003), Jennifer Garner (2002) and Jessica Alba (2001).
