Britney Spears BSpearsGMaloof050808_03_X17.jpg We always get a kick out of the Maxim Hot 100 list every year - and this year's edition is no different!

This year, the list was topped by supermodel Marisa Miller - a fine choice indeed! "Not since Cindy Crawford ruled the catwalk has a pinup born and bred on U.S. soil so thoroughly captured the imagination of the American male," Maxim remarked. "It must be strange living a life in which no man can formulate a coherent sentence in your presence."

The magazine made some pretty daring selections for this year's list, too. Lindsay Lohan, last year's #1, ended up sliding all the way to #9 in 2008. "After a tumultuous year involving a car wreck and rehab, La Lohan had Hollywood wondering if she was worth the trouble," the magazine opined. "Then her Marilyn Monroe-channeling topless photo shoot nearly crashed the internet." Crisis over!

Of course, we're most excited about #19 - a little pop starlet known as Britney Spears! The ranking marks Britney's return to the list after being shockingly passed over last time around. And given all the turmoil Britney's been through over the last year, we think coming in at number nineteen's one heck of an achievement!

We've got the complete top ten after the jump - click on through if you wanna see!
