Miley Cyrus Strips Down for Maxim

Miley Cyrus is out to prove she belongs atop the Maxim Hot 100.

Following the (shocking!) announcement that this singer is apparently the sexiest female on the planet, Maxim has released a new, especially racy picture of Cyrus.

She's topless and spread against the wall in a pose that it seems like only Liam Hemsworth should witness.

“It feels amazing to be No. 1,” Cyrus told the magazine  of the honor. “Especially because it 

was voted on by the fans.

Elsewhere in the rankings, Selena Gomez is number-two, Rihanna is number-three... and Kate Upton is all the way down at number-eight.

Clearly, something is amiss.
