The former Disney Star took the No. 1 spot on the new list and couldn't wait to tell her fans. She broke the news before the magazine could even announce it.
She tweeted a picture from the shoot of her in a gold cutout bikini with the caption 'I'm so happy to be #1 on Maxims HOT 100!'
Cyrus displaces Bar Refaeli, an Israeli model and 2012's No. 1 beauty on the Maxim Hot 100 list. To pick the coveted top spot Maxim rates based on looks, as well as, media buzz, fan base, overall sex appeal, cultural and career impact.
The star recently appeared on the cover of V Magazine in a racy shoot where she bared a little skin. Cyrus had no problem going top-less and pants-less in the punk rock shoot. The star rocked a pink Mohawk baring her tattoos and backside in some of the sots with a bracelet that says "sexy."
Cyrus also shared the news of her Elle UK cover on Twitter. She tweeted the picture with the caption "@ELLEUK sometimes covers are hard to pick. Guess well just go with 2 covers! #2isbetterthan1."
In the black-and-white shoot Cyrus is seen posing in a black-and-white deep v-neck vest and in another picture with her eyes closed, head tilted back she poses for a glamorous face shot.
The "Hannah Montana" star talked to V Magazine about her fiancée Liam Hemsowrth. The couple seem to be always facing rumors of them splitting up.
"I'm not home with my boyfriend all the time. We work. Every week it's 'Are they broken up? Because we don't see a photo of them,'" she told V magazine's May issue. "I don't have time go to Starbucks with my boyfriend every morning. I wish I did, but I don't."
