The Hottest Women of 2009 was easily one of (if not the most) popular posts of all time on Pop Crunch, so it was obvious that we would have to make this a yearly tradition. With this list we aim to be slightly unconventional. Men’s
magazines have been churning these hottest women lists out for years, and we have always thought they were a bit too formulaic. While you’ll certainly see some overlap between our list and theirs we hope to have some surprises along the way, because we think it’s a lot more fun that way. Check back to our
original hot 100 for more of the philosophy behind our rankings.
Now we hope you enjoy, as we get 2010 kicked off right, the Pop Crunch 100 Hottest Women of 2010.

77. Keeley Hazell
Who is she? Keeley Hazell is a British super and glamour model
Why Keeley made the list: Ask FHM, Maxim, The Zoo, AskMen or The Sun about Keeley Hazell and they will all tell you the same thing. She is
smokin’ hot. Keeley, who started modeling when she was just 16, rose to fame in Britain by posing as a Page 3 girl. But this lady has bigger dreams than gracing the cover of magazines. Keeley is currently taking acting lessons in America, which means one thing. Not that she’ll be winning an Oscar anytime soon, but we will surely be seeing her beautiful face more often.
76. Ke$ha

Why Ke$ha made the list: You may recognize her voice from the Flo rida smash hit “Right Round’ but Ke$ha didn’t see a penny from her voice being blasted all over Top 40 radio.

74. Lady GaGa
Who is she? Lady GaGa is a musician who is best known for mixing her Euro-techno beats under American melodies in hits such as ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Paparazzi’.
Why Lady GaGa made the list: Lady GaGa seems to be one of those women who has no fear. She is always confident in her appearance and her musical choices. It may have taken a while, but she is slowly winning over America. GaGa’s real break-out moment from a “hot” stand point came in her most recent video ‘Bad Romance’. Watch the end of that and tell me she isn’t hot.
73. Emma Stone

69. Mary Louise Parker
Who is she? Mary Louise Parker is known best for her roles on ‘Weeds’ and ‘The West Wing’.
Why Mary made the list: Playing a drug dealing single mom doesn’t always sound like someone who would make a “hot” list. But on the hit show ‘Weeds’, Mary shows that regardless of your circumstance, you can still be hot. Whether she’s wearing a suit and slinging a briefcase or pushing drugs and chewing on a straw, Mary has a body most women would kill for, which is why she made the list!
68. Elisha Cuthbert
Who is she? This Canadian cutie is known for her roles in films such as ‘The Girl Next Door’ and on hit television show ’24′.
Why Elisha made the list: Her time on ’24′ might be at an end, but Elisha Cuthbert’s career is far from over. With a new role on ABC’s ‘The Forgotten’, Cuthbert is creating quite a buzz. She’s adorable, a huge hockey fan, and a blonde. Sounds like a complete package to me.
67. Sienna Miller
Who is she? A British model and actress, best known for roles in ‘Factory Girl’ and ‘G.I. Joe’.
Why Sienna made the list: Her latest film might not have been a huge success, but that doesn’t change the fact that checking out a picture of this bubbly British beauty could brighten anyone’s day.

Known for her killer curves and her sweet disposition, Jennifer Love Hewitt has filled the role of ‘America’s Sweetheart’ ever since she debuted on ‘Party of Five’. But Jen’s talents lie outside Film/Television as well. She is an experienced singer, songwriter, comic book author, and author.
65. Hayden Panettiere
Who is she? Hayden is an American actress famous for her roles on ‘Heroes’ and ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’.
Why Hayden made the list: So many women treat Hayden Panettiere like a little sister, having watched her grow up, from her time on ‘Guiding Light’ and in ‘Remember the Titans’, to her performance as superhero Claire Bennett on Heroes. However, the affection the male population has for Hayden is anything but “sisterly”. Hayden is a super hot blonde bombshell, and when you throw in the fact that she stars on a comic book show, you are going to get a deadly, but beautiful combination.
64. Christina Aguilera
Who is she? You probably know Christina from her catchy pop hits like ‘What a Girl Wants’ and ‘Candy Man’.
Why Christina made the list: Christina Aguilera is one of those vocalists that has the ability to get a crowd on their feet all while making the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

and talented. This actress was known for small guest roles here and there before she finally landed a permanent slot as one of the most beautiful secreteries on television, Joan on ‘Mad Men’.

Why Eva made the list: Eva stopped traffic this year when her billboard for Calvin Klein “steamed” up a New York City street corner.

Why Audrina made the list: As far as beauty goes, ‘The Hills’ doesn’t have a whole lot to offer ever since LC hit the road. But Audrina is doing a great job looking gorgeous and rolling her eyes.

Who is she? Eva Longoria Parker is an actress best known for her work on ABC’s hit, ‘Desperate Housewives’.

singer. Deschanel recently married Deathcab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be jealous, right?

Why Charlize made the list:
Charlize Theron is one of those rare individuals who doesn’t care what she looks like. Theron is known for being an actress that is willing to cross all lines, forsaking her appearance in order to get the work done. But that isn’t the only thing she stands up for. There is a list about a mile long of all the rights campaigns Charlize is involved with. Instead of focusing on the politics of things, let’s focus on the fact that she’s hot, smart, and cares about the world she lives in. That certainly qualifies her for our list!
34. Katie Featherston
Who is she? You may not know her name yet, but you know her face. Katie had a huge breakout success by playing the lead role in ‘Paranormal Activity’.
Why Katie made the list: Katie Featherston might be hot, but she is probably the only girl on this list I wouldn’t want to see standing over my bed. In just one year, Katie went from an actress waiting tables at Bucca di Beppos to starring in a film that grossed over $100 Million to
date. And she did it all by running around in shorty shorts and tank top in the hit horror/thriller, ‘Paranormal Activity’. This film and Katie took the country by storm, solidifying her as one of the best new actresses of the year. This Texas born hottie just recently signed with an agency, so you can bet we’ll be seeing her around.

32. Alessandra Ambrosio
Who is she? This Brazilian super model is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret
Why Alessandra made the list: Alessandra is beautiful, exotic, and usually lacking
clothing. If those aren’t 3 good reasons, then I don’t know what would be. This beautiful model got her start at the age of 15 and thirteen years later, she’s still going strong. She is close friends with
Gisele Bundchen and Ana Beatriz Barros, who are also from Brazil. Now that is a girl’s night out I’d like to witness.
31. Anna Paquin

boyfriend Stephen Moyer, and frequently, that trouble involves her clothes being ripped off. How lucky for us.
30. Vanessa Hudgens
Who is she? Vanessa is known for her roles in films such as ‘High School Musical’ and ‘Thirteen’.
Why Vanessa made the list: With being a teenaged role model, a spokes person for Neutrogena, a
singer, and having more public scandals than a politician, it’s amazing that Vanessa has time to work at all. But this Disney diva has starred in several successful films, including the ‘High School Musical’ franchise and ‘Band Slam’. Not to mention, her work with her own personal camera phone, now come on. You know you’ve already seen those pictures.

Showing virtually no signs of aging, Gabby is one of those women who are bound to be beautiful for their whole lives! Her latest show, ‘Flash Forward’ may not have done well, but she certainly had me tuning in each week.

19. Scarlett Johansson
Who is she? Scarlett Johansson is best known for her roles in ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ and ‘Lost in Translation’.
Why Scarlett made the list: Although Scarlett Johansson has a
successful career in acting and singing, the male population of the world probably wouldn’t care if she stood still and never said or sang a word.
