Supermodel Candice Swanepoel shows off her incredible bikini body in sultry shot as she lands top spot on Maxim's Hot 100 list

She is already one of the world's top models.

And Candice Swanepeol's sex symbol status was solidified further after she topped Maxim's Hot 100 list of the world's most beautiful women.

The Victoria's Secret model showcased exactly how she beat off competition from the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis as she put her amazing bikini body on display in a sultry snap.

And the winner is: Model Candice Swanepeol's sex symbol status was solidified further after she topped Maxim's Hot 100 list of the world's most beautiful women

Nearly-naked Candice Swanepoel writhes around on the sand

Lying seductively across a large beach rock in a white bikini, the 25-year-old certainly looked deserving of her new accolade.

Speaking about her new title, Candice said: 'It’s a huge honor to be MAXIM’s number one, among so many beautiful and talented women! It’s a great feeling.'

Coming in at second place is actress Scarlett Johansson, followed by singer Katy Perry, model Irina Shayk and actress Jennifer Lawrence rounding out the top five consecutively.

Blonde bombshell: Singer Christina Aguilera claimed the 15th spot

All grown up: Disney alum Ashley Tisdale came in at number 33

Beach babe: Actress A.J. Cook came in at number 88

Joined the starlets in the top ten were Zooey Deschanel, Alessandro Ambrosio, Jessica Alba, Mila Kunis and Cara Delevingne.

Making their debuts on this year’s highly attractive list are The Wolf of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie along with rising stars Kendall Jenner and Brazilian Lisalla Montenegro.

Last year's winner, Miley Cyrus, dropped down the list to take the 25th spot.

Bewitching: Charmed star Alyssa Milano came in at number 34

Different look: The Big Bang Theory starlet Melissa Rouch landed the number 64 slot

Girl meets world: Boy Meets World star Dianelle Fishel landed the number 69 spot

And the likes of Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Nicole Scherzinger and Adriana Lima failed to make the cut.

The South African winner was praised by Maxim's creative director, Paul Martinez, in a short statement.

He said: 'Candice Swanepoel is the ideal embodiment of the new MAXIM brand: stunning, sophisticated, elegant.

'It's not only her flawless beauty and effortless grace that have garnered her the coveted 2014 Hot 100 Number 1 placement, but also her business acumen.

He added: 'She has risen to become one of the world's top supermodels and has transcended the accolade to become a global brand. It's hard to imagine a woman more perfect.'

The full list features in the June 2014 issue of Maxim magazine.

Bikini-clad Abbey Clancy flaunts her toned, slender body as she hits Dubai beach with daughter Sophia

he golden tan was evident during a late night out in London on Thursday evening, and little wonder - she'd touched down in the UK earlier that day following a sunshine break in Dubai.

Indeed, WAG Abbey Clancy has been enjoying another holiday in the United Arab Emirates with daughter Sophia - her only child with footballer husband Peter Crouch.

The 28-year-old made the most of her recent jaunt, during which she stayed at luxurious retreat Le Royal Meridien, by hitting the beach for a heady mix of sunning, swimming and sandcastle building.

Clutching a plastic pail, Abbey caught the eye in a striking white bikini that helped show off the slender body she honed while two-stepping her way to success on BBC show Strictly Come Dancing.

At one point the Liverpudlian waded into the cool water for a quick dip before padding back onto the beach, where her daughter's red towel was stretched across the sand.

The pair later strolled side by side as Abbey took in the sweeping views across the coastline on last time before preparing for their flight back to the UK.

Rihanna ignores Sheen's comments over her outfit as she steps out wearing nothing but a baseball shirt and slippers

Charlie Sheen went off on a Twitter rant calling her outfit a 'Halloween costume' after she refused to meet his fiancée Brett Rossi on Wednesday.

But Rihanna didn't let his remarks influence her ensemble the following day.

The 26-year-old held her head up high as she stepped out wearing a large pink jersey and Chanel slippers in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

Dressed like she was ready for a casual night at home, Rihanna crossed the street in a pink Joyrich jersey with the number 28 across the front, tiny white shorts which poked out from under her top and a pair of grey Chanel house slippers.

She wore her new pink pixie cut hairdo, natural makeup highlighting her flawless skin, immaculate eyebrows and flashed a big grin across her face.

The comfy ensemble was perfect for displaying her toned pins and white pedicure as she sauntered down the block past photographers.

Rihanna hits back at Charlie Sheen following his bizarre Twitter rant

He unleashed a particularly detailed Twitter rant at Rihanna on Thursday when the star apparently declined to meet his fiancée Brett Rossi.
But now the singer has hit back at Charlie Sheen via several tweets on her own.
'Goooorrrrrrlllllll......If that old queen don't get his diapers out of a bunch,' she wrote, seemingly referring to the 48-year-old Anger Management star.

Chill man: Rihanna responding in humorous fashion on her Twitter account following Charlie Sheen's rant against her

And in an effort to take the moral high ground in the row, the singer later posted a two pictures of herself with one version holding out her hand in front of her mouth, and another putting an arm out to stop herself speaking.
'When I'm about to go off and my subconscious be like: nah, chill B,' she wrote next to the snapshot.
Sheen ranted Twitter rant at the singer on Thursday morning after apparently running into her at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica on Wednesday.

War of words: Rihanna dubbed Charlie Sheen 'an old queen' via her Twitter

Charlie revealed that he was treating his fiancée Brett Rossi to a celebratory dinner for her birthday when they found out that Rihanna was eating nearby.

The 48-year-old claims he put in a request to meet her and was furious when the 26-year-old allegedly declined.

‘Well, the word we received back was that there were too many paps outside and it just wasn't possible at this time,’ he tweeted, adding that porn star Brett ‘was NOT OK with it.’

Not happy: Charlie Sheen has unleashed a rant at Rihanna because he claims she wouldn't meet his fiancee Brett Rossi, who he is pictured with on Wednesday night after the alleged incident

Charlie ranted: ‘Nice impression you left behind, Bday or not. Sorry we're not KOOL enough
to warrant a blessing from the Princess. (or in this case the Village idiot)’

The actor then proceeded to slam Rihanna’s appearance. She was showing off her crop of bubble gum pink hair when she was spotted leaving the eatery and wore a white crop top with matching ripped jeans, a cropped navy jumper and black sandals.

‘Oh and Rihanna, Halloween isn't for a while. But good on you for testing out your costume in public. It's close; a more muted pink might be the answer, as in: none,’ Charlie wrote.

He added: ‘See ya on the way down, (we always do) and actually, it was a pleasure NOT meeting you.

No thanks: The singer allegedly declined a request to meet the actor and the porn star while they were all dining at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica

'Halloween isn't for a while': Charlie even slammed Rihanna's appearance after spying her new pink hair

‘Clearly we have NOTHING in common when it comes to respect for those who've gone before you. I'm guessing you needed those precious 84 seconds to situate that bad wig before you left the restaurant.’

The former Two And A Half Men star mentioned in his extremely angry note that Rihanna ought to follow his lead when it comes to manners.

‘I ALWAYS take the time. THIS is why I'm in this thing 31 awesome years,’ Charlie wrote. ‘Good will and common courtesy, carefully established over time to exist radically in concert with a code of gratitude!’

After referring to himself as a ‘real vet of this terrain’ and Rihanna as ‘a big ol liar’, Charlie had a final piece of advice for the Stay hit-maker.

Sympathy: Denise Richards appeared to weigh into the row, with a tweet directed at Rihanna which read: 'Not worth your time gorgeous girl'

He signed off with the words: ‘If ya don't wanna get bothered DONT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE! And if this "Prison of Fame" is soooooooo unnerving and difficult, then QUIT, junior!’

Even his ex-wife Denise Richards came to her defence, telling the singer on Twitter: 'It's nice to have a tiny break.. Not worth your time gorgeous girl. p.s. When is your next show? Our daughters & I are huge fans.'

MailOnline has contacted Rihanna's representative for comment.

CHARLIE SHEEN'S FULL RIHANNA RANT

so,
I took my gal out to dinner
last night with her best
friends for her Bday.
we heard Rihanna was present as well.
I sent a request over to her table to introduce my fiancé
Scotty to her, as she is a
huge fan.

(personally I couldn't pick her out of a line-up at gunpoint)

well, the word we received back was that there were too
many paps outside and it just wasn't possible at this time.

At this time? AT THIS TIME??
lemme guess, we're to reschedule another random
11 million to 1 encounter
with her some other night...?

no biggie for me; it would have been 84 interminable seconds of chugging Draino and
"please kill me now"
that I'd never get back.

My Gal, however,
was NOT OK with it.
Nice impression you
left behind, Bday or not.
Sorry we're not KOOL enough
to warrant a blessing from
the Princess.
(or in this case
the Village idiot)

you see THIS is the reason
that I ALWAYS take the time.
THIS is why I'm in this thing
31 awesome years.
Good will and
common courtesy, carefully
established over time to exist radically in concert
with a code of gratitude!

I guess "Talk That Talk"
was just a big ol lie from
a big ol liar.

oh and Riahnna,
Halloween isn't for a while.
but good on you for testing out your costume in public.
it's close; a more muted pink might be the answer,
as in:
none.

See ya on the way down,
(we always do)
and actually,
it was a pleasure NOT
meeting you.
clearly we have NOTHING
in common when it comes
to respect for those who've
gone before you.
I'm guessing you needed those precious 84 seconds
to situate that bad wig
before you left the restaurant.

Here's a tip from a real vet
of this terrain;
If ya don't wanna get bothered
DONT LEAVE YOUR HOUSE!
and if this "Prison of Fame"
is soooooooo unnerving and
difficult, then QUIT, junior!

Angelina Jolie says movie star moms shouldn't 'complain' about raising children and have it easy compared to 'most women in the world'

She's an Oscar winning actress, humanitarian and most importantly a mother of six.

But you won't hear Angelina Jolie complaining about the hardships of being a working celebrity mom.

In an interview with the New York Daily News, the 38-year-old acknowledged she's lucky to have 'much more support than most people' and that 'most women in the world' have it much harder.

Keeping it real: Angelina Jolie said people fortunate to be in her situation shouldn't complain about being working moms since they have it easy compared to most women in the world

'I’m not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day,' she said.

'I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home and health care and food.'

Furthermore, the Maleficent star admitted she and fiancé Brad Pitt have the ability to pick and chose projects that are convenient to their schedule.

A-list star: The 38-year-old said, 'I have much more support than most people, most women in this world,' pictured with three of her kids earlier this month

Angelina Jolie treats her children to a toy store shopping trip

'When I feel I’m doing too much, I do less, if I can. And that’s why I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.'

And she's also not oblivious to the plight of parents who don't have the same luxuries.

'I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn’t complain. Consider all the people who really struggle and don’t have the financial means, don’t have the support, and many people are single raising children. That’s hard.'

Luxuries: The Oscar winner added that she and Brad Pitt are lucky since they can take jobs around their schedules, seen here with her daughters in New York last week

Angelina's words come just weeks after Gwyneth Paltrow made statements - in the midst of her split from husband Chris Martin - to the contrary saying how it's 'harder' to raise children while maintaining an acting career than if she had a 9 to 5 job.

In an interview with E!Online the actress said: 'I think it's different when you have an office job because It's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult.'

While she made no mention of movie star salaries, she pointed out her perceived hardships further.

'I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set.'

Say what: Gwyneth Paltrow received backlash when she made statements saying it would be easier to raise children if she had an office job

After receiving much backlash the Oscar winner attempted to clarify her comments in a post on her Goop blog.

'Film work takes one away from home and requires 12-14 hours a day, making it difficult to be the one to make the kids their lunch, drive them to school, and put them to bed.'

She continued: 'This somehow was taken to mean I had said a 9-5 job is easier, and a lot of heat was thrown my way, especially by other working mothers who somehow used my out-of-context quote as an opportunity to express feelings (perhaps projected) on the subject.'

As well as children, Angelina and Gwyneth both have Brad in common - the Shakespeare In Love star was engaged to the actor in the mid '90s.

Although both Gwyneth and Angelina are both offspring of Hollywood parents, at least the latter can go somewhat to understanding the hardships felt by mothers as her own Marchelina Bertrand raised her and brother James as a single mum after splitting from Jon Voight.

Angelina has seen first-hand the struggles faced by women living in poverty around the world in her role as a former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Mother of two: The Oscar winner said: 'I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set,' seen here with her children earlier this month

Made In Chelsea star Felstead shows off sideboob in elegant blue playsuit

She was last seen on screen slapping her on/off boyfriend Alex Mytton.

But Binky Felstead's hand seemed to have fully recovered on Thursday night as she had no problems holding onto drinks while she partied the night away at the Raffles Retro Party at the exclusive King's Road members club in Chelsea.

The 23-year-old star showed off a fair bit of sideboob at the event in a slinky blue playsuit that looked more like a nightie.

And while there was no sign of cheating Alex initially at the event, he was later seen chatting to her in a shop doorway while enjoying a cigarette

At the party, Binky did still manage to lock lips with her Made In Chelsea co-star Cheska Hull.

Cheska wowed in a blue and white strapless striped dress for the evening and the pair looked to be having great fun as they danced the night away.

The pals both got thoroughly involved in the evening, especially when Sonique took to the stage.

Kim Kardashian heads to wedding brunch with Kanye West and baby North

She has borrowed Marie Antoinette's palace for her pre-wedding party.

And Kim Kardashian appeared to have raided the iconic French queen's wardrobe for her bachelorette party in a bejewled pearl encrusted gown worthy of royalty.

Arriving for the girly bash at Costes restaurant on the Rue St. Honoré in Paris, Kim looked every bit a Queen.

Lewis Hamilton claims he is 'hungrier' than Nico Rosberg after growing up in Stevenage and not Monaco like his rival for the F1 title

Lewis Hamilton turned the World Championship into class warfare, claiming that his humble origins make him 'hungrier' than his privileged Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.

Hamilton, who is the richest sportsman in Britain with an estimated fortune of £68million and joined girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger at a star-studded Cinema Against AIDS event on Thursday, grew up in an end-of-terrace house on a tough council estate in Stevenage. He once talked of watching drug dealers from his window.

Ready to go: Lewis Hamilton poses for a picture with Nicole Scherzinger and Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst

Conflict: Hamilton claims his humble beginnings make him hungrier than rival Nico Rosberg to win the title

Rosberg is the son of 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg and attended elite European schools.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, Hamilton said: 'I come from a not great place in Stevenage and lived on a couch in my dad's apartment.

'And Nico grew up in Monaco with jets and hotels and boats. So the hunger is different. I've got to be the hungriest guy in the cockpit to win the World Championship.'

The pair have tried to keep their rivalry friendly this season to help them cope with the pressure of being first and second in the standings.

Hamilton now lives in Monaco and previously spoke of how he and Rosberg played table tennis while sharing a Monaco apartment block. Rosberg has since moved out and Hamilton has changed apartments.

Despite living so close to the track, Hamilton 'overslept' on Thursday. He had to be taken by boat to the paddock. He then ran along the harbour front to get into his overalls for first practice, in which he set the fastest time of the day.

Home from home: Rosberg grew up in Monaco and walked the roads, which form the track, to get to school

All eyes on me: Hamilton leads the drivers' standings by three points from Rosberg after four straight wins

The second session was a damp squib. It rained beforehand, and with eight minutes remaining only nine cars had set times - why not introduce a regulation demanding cars do a minimum of, say, 30 laps per session unless the rain is so extreme the officials ban running?

Nobody expects anything other than Mercedes coming first and second in qualifying tomorrow and in the race on Sunday. But Hamilton hopes not.

Asked for his ideal result, he said: 'Ha, me finishing first, Fernando Alonso second and Sebastian Vettel third.

'The dream result for the team would be the Mercedes cars finishing one-two and one of those guys in third.

Floyd Mayweather cruises around in his THIRD Bugatti worth £1.8m... fresh from pocketing £19m in Marcos Maidana fight

It didn't take long for Floyd 'Money' Mayweather to start cashing in on his Marcos Maidana fight, purchasing a third Bugatti Veyron.
The undefeated boxer pocketed a staggering £19million after unifying his welterweight belts against the Argentine, around £1.5m per round.

And despite collecting two of the supercars before the Las Vegas fight, Mayweather claims he has splashed £1.8m ($3m) on another collectable.

Mayweather also posted a clip on Instagram of him cruising around in the Bugatti, a one-of-one Limited Edition Grand Sport.

The car was once the fastest road-legal car in the world, with a top speed of 257mph.

Mayweather will have his next fight on September 13, ruling out a potential meeting with Amir Khan.

Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe confirmed a to-be-determined opponent.

Khan, who impressed on the Mayweather undercard with an excellent win over Luis Collazo, is unable to fight in September because he observes Ramadan.

'Floyd will go on September 13 and we're looking at who he's going to fight and where he is going to fight,' Ellerbe told ESPN.

'Obviously, Las Vegas is his home and the MGM Grand is always the leading candidate but we will take a look at our other options.'
