MAXIM magazine has sparked outrage after it controversially declared ex-jailbird Amanda Knox one of 2012’s most beautiful women.

Knox, 24 was sentenced to 26 years for murdering British student Meredith Kercher in Italy in November 2007 before being acquitted last October.

But the American was voted into Maxim's 'Hot 100' and ranked 92 on the list.

A caption under Knox’s face in the mag read: “Foxy Knoxy's murder rap was overturned after she spent four years in a hardcore Italian prison."

Referring to the Italian restaurant chain, it added: “We're guessing she hasn't hit the Olive Garden since coming back.”

But readers hit out on Twitter at the controversial decision, with one dismissing it as “a joke".

Ryan McElroy posted: “I'm sorry, is Amanda Knox really on the Maxim Hot 100? Please tell me this is a joke.”

Another Demi's Wifey wrote: “You have a really distorted view of what ‘sexy’ is.”

Meanwhile, Michelle Stephens tweeted: “Amanda Knox made Maxim's hot 100 this year? So if I'm accused of murder, will that help boost my rating among the clearly disturbed readers?”

Israeli model and Lenoardo DiCaprio’s ex-girlfriend Bar Rafaeli topped the list, which was compiled for the first time by votes from the magazine’s readers.

She was followed by TV presenter Olivia Munn, actress Mila Kunis, singer Katy Perry and actress Olivia Wilde.

Rounding out the top 10 were Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Megan Fox, Malin Akerman and Adrianne Palicki.

On its website, American mag Maxim wrote: "As we're reminded every four years, democracy is the cornerstone upon which our great land is built.

"That's why this year, for the first time in Hot 100 history, we let you, the readers of Maxim, weigh in on who should comprise the definitive list of the world's most beautiful women.

"From movie stars to murder suspects to a cartoon, here are the sexy results. God bless America!"

Model and Transformers star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Underworld actress Kate Beckinsale made 11 and 12.

Pippa Middleton also made the list and was ranked at 81, well behind fellow Brit and Harry Potter star Emma Watson ranked 21.

Comedian Stephen Colbert was ranked at 69, becoming the first man to make the list, while Family Guy cartoon character Lois Griffin was voted the 85th hottest woman.

should she be on the list :suspect:

Most Beautiful woman?

[Marc]

Knox.. yeah she's pretty.

Not sure whether it's right to have her on the list though. But in terms of being pretty, she can 'rightly' be on there... I guess

Most Beautiful woman?

:nono: IMO, she looks "worn" and needs some work doing on those saggy breasts :idc:

[Marc]

:joker: LOL

I think she's hot but she's not the hottest/prettiest woman in the world :crazy:

Stephen Colbert was ranked 69th. the list is not really that serious

[Marc]

That's a valid point, as well as Lois Griffin being on there. Guess people should just calm down then

[InOne]

Knox is hot and a jailbird, what's not to love.

[ChristmasNeeve]

:nono: IMO, she looks "worn" and needs some work doing on those saggy breasts :idc:

needs work doing? :bored:

[Jesus.]

I'd use her worn underwear as an oxygen mask.

[Marsh.]

I guess most people find the danger of being killed during sex appealing...

[lostalex]

I guess most people find the danger of being killed during sex appealing...

umm, what does being killed during sex have to do with Amanda Knox? absolutely nothing.

Amanda is beautiful, even more beautiful for having the strength to survive the horrors of false imprisonment. Good on her.

It's not false imprisonment, she's a murderer.

[Kizzy]

here we go... Have to admit her behaviour when arrested was erratic if I remember...she could have some some psychosis?

Most definitely.

[Z]

That's a bit distasteful

[Shaun]

It does amuse me when people question the moral scruples in a list ranking "hotness".

Only in Europe is hugging and kissing your boyfriend for comfort seen a "erratic behavior".

The xenophobia against Americans and Amanda knows no bounds.

No but doing cartwheels in the police station is

[lostalex]

No but doing cartwheels in the police station is

umm, no actually i think you'll find plenty of people in police stations especially when you've been there for over 14 hours for no reason, you do whatever you can to pass the time.

In fact if anything, doing cartwheels shows she probably isn't guilty, if you just killed someone and you got caught, certainly you would be too worried and scared to do cartwheels, you'd be thihking you would be spending the rest of your life in jail.

Obviously being that relaxed shows she thought the whole thing was going away, because certainly they can't keep an innocent person in jail. She was naive enuf to believe in the Italian justice system. Stupid her. If she was guilty she would be brooding in a corner thinking of excuses.

It was just before she was about to be questioned over the brutal murder of her friend, I'd say that's a bit strange

I was referring to the cartwheels alex ..... Wonder when you would bring up the fact she is American. :idc:

[Kizzy]

No rational person would do cartwheels in a foriegn jail after being accused of a brutal murder....There is no way on earth you could convince me that they were the actions of a sane person in full possession of all their faculties....

[Jesus.]

Either way, I'd still play sex games with her.

[Kizzy]

Make sure there are no sharp implaments to hand first ...

[Marsh.]

Just about to respond to Alex's comments but won't bother considering he's brought up xenophobia again. :rolleyes:

Everyone hates Amanda because she's American? lol. Whatever.

And, yes Kizzy I agree, doing cartwheels when you've been arrested on suspicion of murdering your friend is definitely some kind of sociopathic personality.

I don't see how you could explain it away that she was innocent and therefore didn't have to worry about going to jail, her friend was still killed.

[AJ.]

Shameless. Maxim are just after publicity.

[Roy Mars III]

Shameless. Maxim are just after publicity.

they are a magazine, it's what they need to be after

[lostalex]

It was just before she was about to be questioned over the brutal murder of her friend, I'd say that's a bit strange

murder of her friend that she'd only known for 3 weeks. She had just moved in, and 3 weeks later this happened. how could she possibly know that the italian and british tabloids would make it into this huge thing? It was her first time away from home, the whole thing must have been incredulous to her.

You have no idea how you'd react in the same situation. What did you expect her to do? Break down in a puddle of tears over someone she vbarely knew, in a place you don't know?

She was trying to get through it the best she could, a situation that had nothing to do with her.

Do you even know the names of her other 2 roomates?? i don't. They didn't live alone, so why is it only the American that got blamed? and the idea that an american is a satanic witch performing sex rituals?? are you kidding?

The entire case a was a farce from beginning to end, which is WHY she was found INNOCENT> she wasn't just found not guilty, she was found INNOCENT.

[lostalex]

Shameless. Maxim are just after publicity.


yes, but not as shameless as the Daily Mail and other British magazines that printed Amanda's face for 4 years, demonizing an innocent girl.

[AJ.]

Are Casey Anthony & OJ innocent as well Alex?

I'm not entirely sure if she was guilty or not but I think there is a very strong case to say she was, I think this article gives a pretty good overview of reasons why she might be guilty or innocent, and the reasons in favour of being guilty are a lot more convincing to me http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/8803077/Amanda-Knox-Guilty-or-innocent-five-reasons-why.html

[lostalex]

there is evidence against both of those epople, they are not guilty in the eyes of the law because guilt could not be proven, but they were not found INNOCENT, they were found not guilty, which just means there was not enuf evidence to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. There is a HUGE difference between being found not guilty and being found innocent.

Amanda knox was found innocent. There is not a SINGLE SHRED of evidence linking her to this crime at all. If you know of any such evidence i suggest you provide it to the italians, because i'm sure they'd love to reopen the case.

well i guess the telegraph is more sophisticated than the italian justice system. i've read the telegraph before and i think that is QUITE an assumption. lol.

but hey, what you think doesn't mean anything, because you are not a lawyer, yur a conspiracy theorist. have fun with your conspiracies, and thank gawd yu are not in any position of power.

Oh ffs, you're impossible to have any reasonable debate with

You were just going on about what a "farce" the case is and now you're lauding the Italian justice system?

You obviously didn't read the article either

Well there is obviously some debate over her innocence, I don't see how I am a conspiracy theorist when I even said "I'm not entirely sure if she was guilty or not"

[lostalex]

well if you don't think there is a conspiracy, then why was she found innocent? If you believe she is guilty, then i assume you believe there is a conspiracy as far as you think the American government got involved in some way to ensure her release. that is a conspiracy theory.

Because courts can sometimes get it wrong, presumably you thought they were wrong to find her guilty originally, so were you a "conspiracy theorist" when you thought that?

no, because i didn't claim it was a conspiracy, i said i just think the tabloids influenced the first trial, and i think xenophobia against Americans influenced the first trial. as Italy does not sequester jurys, the jury was free to read all of the tabloid trash during the entire trial.

It was a failure of the Italian justice system, but thankfully the Italian justice system has a much more legitimate appeals process. in fact the appeal was more professionally executed than the original trial. imo.

It's also important to remember that Italy has the exact opposite justice system to the US and UK, in that you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.

I'm not claiming it was a conspiracy either, I just think there wasn't enough evidence to be sure and the Italian police made serious mistakes during their investigation so they couldn't be 100% confident to uphold the verdict, but I don't rule out the possibility that she did do it, the Kercher family are still waiting for justice and still don't know what happened that night

Well the Kerchers do know what happened that night. A man named Rudy Guede (who has a past history of knife violence) broke into meredith's room, then raped and killed her.

The man that killed their daughter is already in jail serving a sentence for his crime against their daughter.

If they cannot accept the truth, well that is unfortunate for them. Amanda should not be punished for the sake of the Kerchers though.

If she's completely insane that makes her even hotter.
