Katy Perry is the hottest of them all

Oomph-o-meter

Perry was chosen for being “a triple — no, quadruple — kind of hot,” Maxim Editor-in-Chief Joe Levy says. “It’s that feeling you get when you suddenly realise that the smartest, funniest, coolest girl you know also happens to be the best-looking and a pretty good skateboarder, too. All of a sudden, your crush goes supernova, and this is Katy’s supernova moment.”

Model Brooklyn Decker came in second place. “This fiery Victoria’s Secret model makes even our female staff stop and stare,” Levy said.

Avatar star Zoe Saldana came in third, beating Gossip Girl beauty Blake Lively, who was named No. 4. Megan Fox slipped three spots to No. 5.
