For the year 2010, Maxim magazine named singer Katy Perry “The First Lady of Hot,” after carefully analyzing and comparing her achievements in music, fashion and, of course, the degree of hotness exposed on public outings and magazine spreads. Last year’s number one, “House” star Olivia Wilde, took a tumble out of top 10, landing on the 20th position.

“Katy Perry might croon about a dude being ‘Hot N Cold,’ but the star herself never strays from the hot spot as the very top of our 2010 Hot 100 List. The perfect Perry first caught our attention in 2008 with her smash hit, ‘I Kissed a Girl’ – and we liked it. Yeah, we were more than okay with Katy’s kiss-and-tell attitude and the bi-curious beauty has been on our radar ever since,” Maxim says in an introductory piece on the highly popular singer, who always turns heads for her stunning looks as well.

“Lately, her engagement to British comedian Russell Brand has bought her quite a bit of face time in the gossip blogs. And now, the west coast cutie is making more waves with her recently released single ‘California Gurls’- sure to be a staple on this summer’s party playlist. With her new album coming out this summer, the number one stunner will no doubt continue to burn up the pop charts and light a fire in our hearts,” Maxim further says of Katy’s lasting power.

Even last year’s number two, “Transformers” beauty Megan Fox, slipped a few positions, which goes to show that less exposure is not good for her. However, that’s bound to be fixed as soon as she starts promotion for another film, it’s being said. This year’s number two is Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker (now shooting a film with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler), followed by “Avatar” cutie Zoe Saldana, “Gossip Girl” vixen Blake Lively and Megan Fox. Rihanna, George Clooney’s belle Elisabetta Canalis, Olivia Munn, Kim Kardashian and Victoria’s Secret Angel Marisa Miller round up the top 10.

The other occupants of positions 11 to 20 are as follows: Eva Mendes, Audrina Patridge, Amber Heard, Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Bynes, Selita Ebanks, Leighton Meester, Christina Aguilera, Bar Refaeli and Olivia Wilde.
