AskMen.com has released its annual list of 99 Most Desirable Women, voted on by 10 million people, on Wednesday, January 21. And Eva Mendes has been crowned the "Most Desirable Woman of the Year".

"You can't take your eyes off her," AskMen.com explains the reason why Eva topped the list. "From head to toe, her beauty is unique, dramatic and urgent. When on-screen, she doesn't need to do much before we've willingly handed over to her our complete and devoted attention, to the exclusion of the rest of the world."

"Transformers" hottie Megan Fox, who was named the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM last year, runner-upped the list. Marisa Miller came in at No. 3, followed by Keeley Hazell and Anne Hathaway.

Isla Fisher, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry also made the list above Angelina Jolie, who was named No. 42. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian, however, was listed on "Top 99 Rejects" because there were so many qualifying "hotties" this year to fit on the "Most Desirable Women" roundup.
