Lindsay Lohan tops Maxim’s eighth annual ‘Hot 100’ list

New York – Lindsay Lohan rules.

According to Maxim magazine, at least this month, she’s the hottest woman in the world.

The “Georgia Rule” actress-troublemaker tops the magazine’s eighth annual “Hot 100” list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion.

“There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”

Not surprisingly, Jellinek described his young, male readership as being “obsessed” with the 20-year-old Lohan, a ubiquitous party girl who spent the weekend soaking up the sun (with a new boyfriend) in the Bahamas.

Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She’s followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl.

Paris Hilton ‘traumatized’ over jail sentence, psychiatrist says

Los Angeles – Paris Hilton is “emotionally distraught and traumatized” over her 45-day jail sentence and isn’t capable of testifying in a civil lawsuit against her, the socialite-reality TV star’s psychiatrist said.

Dr. Charles Sophy has been seeing Hilton, 26, for the past eight months and has talked with her several times since her May 4 hearing for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case, according to court papers.

Sophy said Hilton needs time to recover from the shock of receiving jail time before testifying in a civil case brought against her by actress and diamond heiress Zeta Graff.

In court papers filed Monday, Sophy said Hilton is “distraught and traumatized as a consequence of the findings at the May 4 hearing … and her fear of incarceration.”

Graff filed a $10 million lawsuit against Hilton in 2005, claiming the reality TV star spread “vicious lies” about her. Hilton has denied that she was behind a report alleging Graff once tried to grab a necklace worth $4 million from her throat.

The trial was postponed to August. It had been scheduled to begin this month.

Stallone pleads guilty to bringing banned drugs into Australia

Sydney, Australia – Sylvester Stallone pleaded guilty Tuesday to two charges of importing banned substances into Australia, saying he takes the muscle-building drugs for a medical condition and didn’t know he was breaking the law.

Stallone, star of the “Rocky” and “Rambo” films, didn’t appear in court. He left Australia in February after authorities confiscated the substances.

“I made a terrible mistake, not because I was attempting to deceive anyone, but I was simply ignorant to your official rules,” the 60-year-old actor said in a letter to Sydney Local Court.

Stallone doesn’t face prison time because of the relatively minor nature of the crime.
