Well, it's official. Megan Fox has finally been thrown off her top spot on the Maxim hot 100 list. It could read as bad news, but one look at her competition and you'll realise it's not yet time to blow your head off. Hold onto that round!

Presenting the top 20 hottest babes from Maxim's hot 100 list for 2009 - everything else is just grocery!

#20: Moon Bloodgood

Besides that Red Indian ring to her name, this babe made apocalypse look so good in Terminator Salvation. Rampaging cyborgs, computers trying to kill you, nukes and Moon Bloodgood by your side shooting guns the size of cars - more destruction please!

#19: Chan Marshall

She looks good and that voice can bring rottweilers to heel! Following various personal battles - ranging from a drinking problem to drugs - the musician, famously known as Cat Power, is now back and off the habits. Wonder what got her into it in the first place!

#18: Marisa Miller

The first all-American supermodel after the likes of Cindy Crawford stepped down from the world's cover page. Marissa Miller is hot as magma, extremely talented and, yes, a force you can't ignore!

#17: Britney Spears

She's been through more trouble than a gay Obi-Wan Kenobi! Besides getting clobbered by the paparazzi, trashed by critics and married to K-Fed, Britney made a mockery of herself in the public eye.

But now she's back and we hope she keeps the momentum going before we go looking for 'Oops, I did it again' headlines!


#16: Gina Carano

This babe can knock you flat before you even start on describing that hot bod. The hot bruiser, an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) specialist is all set to invade television this year. It's either the heart or the solar plexus!
