MAXIM Magazine Unveils the 'Hot 100' for 2002
* Jennifer Garner From 'Alias' is #1 *

LOS ANGELES, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- MAXIM Magazine, the #1 men's
magazine in the world, announced today that actress Jennifer Garner
(``Alias'') has been selected as their ``Hottest Woman.'' Rounding out
the Top 10: Spiderman's Kirsten Dunst (#2); Destiny's Child Beyonce
Knowles (#3); Van Wilder's Tara Reid (#4); ``Dark Angel's'' Jessica Alba
(#5); model Gisele Bundchen (#6); Oscar® winner Halle Berry (#7); pop
sensation Christina Aguilera (#8); The Matrix sequels Monica Bellucci
(#9) and Joleene Blalock from ``Enterprise'' (#10).

Garner joins former #1 picks, Estella Warren (2000) and Jessica Alba
(2001). Editor in Chief Keith Blanchard says of this year's top pick,
``Jennifer not only single handedly launched one of the most successful
television shows of last season, she's also starring in some of next
years biggest movies, including Daredevil, with Ben Affleck, and Steven
Spielberg's Catch Me if you Can. On top of all of her on-screen success,
Jennifer exemplifies what MAXIM readers love in women: she is incredibly
sexy, funny, smart ... and did I mention she's scorchingly hot?''

Each year MAXIM chooses 100 of the hottest up-and-coming women of the
year in film, television, music, sports and fashion. ``The 'Hot 100' is
MAXIM's annual roundup of the year's most intriguing new women in
entertainment,'' says Keith Blanchard. ``Whether they're newcomers about
to break it big or already famous but breaking new ground, these are the
girls who are on the move. And we love to watch them move.''

The ``Hot 100'' has proven accurate in the past as MAXIM first brought
such stars to our attention as Jessica Alba who MAXIM placed on the HOT
100 at #8 (2000) when ``Dark Angel'' was a brand new show, Shannon
Elizabeth at #5 (2000) who had only appeared in one major film and
Penelope Cruz who debuted at #15 (2000) when her film career was just
beginning on this side of the Atlantic.

FOX television shows account for nine of the ``Hot 100'' girls,
significantly more then any other television network. The true surprise
comes from E!, where three of their stars appear on the list (Brooke
Burke, Aisha Tyler and Jules Asner), more then NBC, ABC and CBS
combined.

The MAXIM ``Hot 100'' supplement (complete list is attached) is
currently available with the May issue of MAXIM featuring the Scorpion
King star Kelly Hu (#17 on the ``Hot 100'') on the cover.

Dennis Publishing. Editor-in-Chief: Keith Blanchard. General Manager:
Lance Ford. Group Publisher: Carolyn Kremins. MAXIM's ABC Publishers

See what being out of the spotlight can do? How could Uma Thurman not
even make the list when all these B-list types are on it?

Then again, not a single WWF girl made it and I'd put Stacy Keibler
and Tori Wilson way high above a lot of women on that list.

And SEX IN THE CITY, played John Cusack's fiance in SERENDIPITY, is playing Ben
Affleck's wife in SUM OF ALL FEARS and also in the upcoming Al Pacino movie, I
think it is called THE FARM.

No clue about the others (which pains me - I usually know all the
babes), but Maxim is VERY big on models and starlets - so that's
undoubtedly what they are - but then I suppose that is obvious - they
aren't salesgirls at J. C. Penny's...:-}

Isn't that what most of these things are? (Although in fairness, if it
was purely a matter of hotness several of them would have made it on
merit, particularly Jessica Alba and Monica Bellucci.)

Me either, but since I'm not in her target demographic I wont deny she might
be considered hot to sixteen year old boys.To me JG is just another
unpleasantly underfed young girl with odalesque eyes, a semi-evolved valley
girl voice and some questionable facial alteration. (This according to BH
cosmetic surgery expert who emails regularly. She had to explain to me who
Jennifer Garner is because though I watched the show a couple times early
on, I liked it's "Buffy Joins the CIA," only without the wit, feeling, but I
drifted away the same reason I'm missing a lot of shows, because, I've
started working out at a new 24/7 gym, and I'm stalling on buying a TIVO
because I'm having guitar lust again. I've fallen in love with an Acoustic
Rickenbacker 700C/12 Comstock 12-string with a Firglow finish. (Digressing
badly--I can't seem to find a dealer who has one, "Even Musicans Friend"
who said they could order it for me, said it only came in Natural finish.
Wrong. I want the Fireglow finish, which I just saw reviewed in "Acoustic
Guitar World". If anyone could help please email me at Ambrose_Meineke at
Hotmail. Thanks in advance for any help.

Australian actress from PITCH BLACK, LOVE AND OTHER CATASTROPHES, and WHEN
STRANGERS APPEAR among others. Just saw her last night in EVERYTHING PUT
TOGETHER (the first film from the director of MONSTER'S BALL). Her peformance
was absolutely amazing.

She's pleasant enough looking, but please, I've had better looking women
check my groceries. Actually that works literally and as a euphemism.

Maxim is an industry rag, if we're comparing to other mens'
magazines like FHM, which is by far the better.

I just saw her in the movie "Clockstoppers" playing the role of a
16-year-old girl, even though she's actually 28, married, with one
kid.

Not a movie I'd usually see but my Little Brother really wanted to
go. Paula looked older than the male lead but there's no way I'd
guess 28.
