2009 was the final year of an unforgettable decade, but it was also yet another year of sexy women in movies, music, magazines, on television, and even in politics. This year Maxim’s list of the 100 Hottest Women of 2009 included some of our most favorite oldies and a lot of goodies, plus some newbies.
Olivia Wilde, Maxim's Hot 100 Number 1.
Taking the top spot this year is the beautiful Olivia Wilde. Best known for her role in House, M.D., Olivia tops the list after a role in Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera. She has graced television screens for some time, but it is the later appearances that have her taking men by storm.
Coming in at number 2 is everyone’s favorite bad girl, last year’s Number one, Megan Fox. She has made her way into the minds and hearts of everyone and her bad girl edge is here to stay. A favorite in search engines, Megan Fox had another great year with Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, plus a few other big screen movies, Jennifer’s Body and Jonah Hex. Mixing her face of an angel and bad attitude, Megan has guys drooling all over her. Pretty sure we will be seeing a lot more of her.

The Regulars
No matter the year, there are always a few faces that you know you will see on any list. Long time favorites like Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba (11 and 13), Kate Beckinsale and Eva Mendes (22 and 24), and Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, and Cameron Diaz (26, 30, and 37) are all on there.

Fresh Faces
There are a few women on the list who have not been seen too often, but soon will become part of the veterans.MMA fighter Gina Carano, also known for her spot as Crush on American Gladiators, fights her way onto the list at spot 16.

Katie Cassidy of Melrose Place (David Cassidy’s daughter) comes in at number 47. Even our First Lady Michelle Obama made the list at her political spot, number 93.
Anna Lynne McCord, Maxim's Hot 100's number 21
A favorite with La’s The Place, AnnaLynne McCord takes the 21st spot. With intriguing roles on both Nip/Tuck and 90210, AnnaLynne has worked her way into many people, young and old. With new roles in the works, we have so much to look forward too. This star is one to be seen on many future lists.
Musical Domination
Across the list, at the beginning and the end, you can find singers from many genres and all are beautiful. Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears take spots 14 and 17. Ciara found her way into spot 32. Nicole Scherzinger and Taylor Swift fall in at 46 and 50. Beyonce, Christina Milian, and Carrie Underwood are also on the list (52, 55, and 60).

After taking off with a solo career, Fergie has reunited with her boys and The Black Eyed Peas for a new album that fans are enjoying all over the world and she falls in at number 45 on this list. Her amazing body, killer chops, and sexy moves prove she deserves to be on this list. And you can catch her in the movie “Nine”, alongside more sexy women, some who are also on this list.
