Singer Katy Perry has vaulted past fellow brunette beauties Olivia Wilde and Angelina Jolie to top Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list for 2010.
Perennial Maxim "hottie" Angelina dropped to No. 38, while last year's cover girl Olivia Wilde tumbled to No. 20.
TALENT + SEX APPEAL
Katy, who was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, shot to fame with her 2008 hit I Kissed a Girl.
Maxim says Perry earned her No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 list for her talent and quirky sex appeal.
In describing Katy's incredible charisma, Maxim says: "It's that feeling you get when you suddenly realize that the smartest, funniest, coolest girl you know also happens to the best-looking and a pretty good skateboarder, too."
ORGANIC DIET AND LOTS OF WATER
Perry, who's engaged to British comedian Russell Brand, 34, is known for her offbeat fashion sense, accentuated by bright-colored outfits often reminiscent of the 1940s and 50s. 
Katy, 25, is naturally a blue-eyed blonde who dyes her hair and eyebrows black.
She stays fit by working out regularly and folllowing an organic diet.
"On holidays I eat whatever I feel like," she told Women's Health. "But on tour the catering is a lot of grilled chicken—nothing fried. Everything is organic, and I have soy milk. No chips in sight—if they’re in front of you, you eat them."
Another thing Perry swears by is water. "I drink a lot of water," she says. "Staying hydrated is important. I don’t understand how some people live off of diet soda. I have a couple of friends who I have never seen with a bottle of water in their hands. I don’t know how they get recharged."
'I LOVE JUMPING ROPE'
Mushrooms are among her favorite foods. “I love mushrooms," Katy says. "I could eat a ton of them! I really love truffles but I hardly ever get them. Mushrooms in general are so healthy and good for you. I can’t get enough.”
While Perry admits she hates working out, she stays fit by jumping rope. "I love jumping rope," she said. "It’s like dancing. I can double jump, I can cross, I can do all of it. I look like Rocky!”
Katy's new album (and single), California Gurls, drops this summer.
