Taylor Swift is hotter than Danica Patrick and Audrina Patridge, but she is not hotter than Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff.
At least that’s according to the folks at Maxim, who are releasing their annual Hot 100 list Wednesday. The list — which, as you may have guessed, ranks the hottest 100 women of the moment — places Swift exactly in the middle of the pack this year at No. 50. She’s above the likes of Patrick (78) and Patridge (57) but below a group that includes Lohan (23) and Duff (31).
So who’s No. 1?
A rep for the mag wouldn’t leak the top 10 when we called Tuesday. But looking at the 90 names that already have been released, we noticed that more than a handful are linked in one way or another to reality TV. Could numero uno be in the same category? We’ll have to wait and see. Until then, here’s a rundown of a few reality TV divas already on the list.
