Miley Cyrus is Maxim's sexiest woman of 2013?

and, a bunch of Disney and ex-Disney starlets are in the top 10. Selena Gomez #2, and two former High School Musical stars in the top 10. While they're all attractive, I don't think they're top 10 material.

Best pick was Manti Teo's girlfriend at #69.

FTR, I think Rachel McAdams and Lake Bell (and her slightly raspy voice) are way more attractive than Miley Cyrus.

Everyone has their own taste and their own top 10. The two at the top of my list right now are Olivia Wilde and Emma Stone.

doesn't speak highly of the Maxim voting audience. Selena Gomez looks 15.

Don't get me wrong, I still rolled my eyes at the OP. Like somebody else on the thread, I'm half wondering if Disney's bought Maxim now.

The other weird one is Kesha. Seriously? No Hallie Berry or J Lo? I guess once you hit 40 that's it for Maxim. Though they do have Cameron Diaz.

From what I remember, it was mostly rather arbitrary choices of currently popular celebrities. Kind of "meh" all around.

their lists are usually pretty good, though. I don't remember Cyrus even in the top 100 before.

Don't know how they reached that conclusion... Not that she's ugly or anything, but I can think of a hundred that are 'sexier' than her.

I think they've had younger women the past few years (Kate Upton, Katy Perry), but they've had some women in the past that were not in the college student age range (Jennifer Garner, Eva Longoria and Marissa Miller were in their 30s when they won)

She's suffering from over-exposure now from too much publicity.

Of course the "Hot 100" is the kind of thing I would take with a grain of salt, to say the least, but I'm honestly scratching my head right now...

And why did they even bother adding Mante Teo's imaginary GF? That's just a waste of a slot. I don't usually agree with these hot 100 lists anyway, but this was the lamest list I have seen yet.

Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and J Lo, for example. I guess the Maxim reader goes for the pubescent type.

the past year or two, I think.

But, only 2 women in the top 10 are over 30 (Jennifer Love Hewitt & Elisha Cuthbert)and only 3 in the second ten (Beckinsale, Beyonce & Alba)
