Jennifer Love Hewitt You’ve been obsessed with her since Hootie ruled the charts, and now the four-time Maxim cover girl is playing a friendly neighborhood prostitute on Lifetime’s The Client List. Hey, God? We owe you one.

Adrianne Palicki With roles in Friday Night Lights and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Adrianne is the trifecta of perfection: sexiness, football, and h uge explosions. See her cover shoot for our June issue for more evidence of said perfection.

Malin Akerman Whether this stunning Swede is making us laugh (Wanderlust), sing (Rock of Ages), or turn into giant blue godlike beings (Watchmen), Malin has a way of making us do her bidding (including setting up date s with men in gorilla costumes).

Emma Stone A super-beauti ful Hollywood starlet with actual acting chops? A natural blonde who dyes her hair red? Emma Stone is just one hot mass of contradictions, and we love every one of them. We also love that she’s going to be in a Spider-Man movie, which is why we’re writing this in our Green Goblin Underoos.

Jennifer Lawrence Aft er being in a movie about a beaver and next to naked for the majority of X-Men: First Class, this 21-year-old Hunger Games star has her sights set on world domination. Let us all raise a glass in “tribute” (get it?) to the next generation of hotness.

Olivia Wilde Our favorite former TV doctor from House M.D. and 2009’s Hot 100 champ has come a long way from kissing girls on The O.C. (though we wouldn’t mind her going back). She’s now a full-blown movie star thanks to Tro n and Cowboys & Aliens—and looks amazing thanks to bikini and beach.

Katy Perry Pop music’s baddest good girl has been pretty damn busy the past two years, what with seven different number one sin gles and the top spot on 2010’s Hot 100. And now that she’s single, she’s obviously been busy trying to work up the courage to ask us on a date. Just call us, Katy— no biggie.

Mila kunis Ever since she locked lips with Natalie Portman in Black Swan, our appreciation for this brunette stunner has transformed into a near obsession. Not the kind where we lurk outside her house with binoculars, but the kind where we wake up every morning thrilled that it’s one day closer to the premiere of her new comedy, Ted (it’s almost here!).

Olivia Munn This two-time Maxim cover girl sports a résumé that includes senior Asian correspondent for The Daily Show and a body that makes grown men weep. What’s the geek godde ss up to this summer? An HBO show (Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom), a movie (Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike), and, hope fully, an appearance in our living room: We’re stuck on the Rainbow Road level of Super Mario Kart, and she’s a se lf-described video-game junkie.

Bar Refaeli It was decreed that in the year 2012 there would be an election of tremen dous wonder and import, celebrating all that is good and beautiful in the world. Millions of votes were cast by you, the citizens of the Democratic Republic of Maxim, and when the polls were closed, a victor was crowned. She puts the “promise” in Promised Land—all hail your No. 1 for 2012, Bar Refaeli! “I am shocked that among all these beautiful ladies, I’m No. 1,” Bar says of her incumbency. “ Thank you so much for voting for me! I’m truly honored. This is a title I will never forget.” So God bless America, God bless the Maxim man, and God bless Israel for being the fertile soil from which such hotness grows. Keep your eyes peeled for Bar’s upcoming cover shoot—it’ll be one no man on Earth will ever forget!
