Bar Refaeli tops 'Maxim Hot 100' list - PHOTOS

That Refaeli ranked No. 1 does show that Maxim has a global reach, says Maxim editor Dan Bova, who has been with the magazine since 2008. Sure, she's famous for modeling spreads including the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues, but she's not someone with a big blockbuster movie coming up this summer either, Bova explains. "She is a familiar face, but she is a little bit unexpected," he says. "She's at this incredible level right now where she's about to become even bigger." (All pictures courtesy Getty Images)
