Actress Eva Mendes: "most desirable woman" in 2009

Actress Eva Mendes was named on Wednesday the "Most Desirable Woman of 2009" in the world by an online survey.

The 34-year-old star topped a poll by online men's magazine AskMen.com that received more than 10 million votes, beating the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Bajan beauty Rihanna, who could only manage seventh and eight place respectively.

"Transformers" star Megan Fox came in at No. 2, and Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller ranked third.

Mendes is ecstatic she beat tough competitors to be named the favorite on AskMen.com.

She said, "Of all the qualities I find attractive in a man, paying me such a compliment tops my list. Thanks, guys."

James Bassil, editor-in-chief of AskMen.com, said the list was a "pulse-check" of the women that readers were not only following but also perceived as more than just a pretty face.

"Obviously good looks are one quality but intelligence, ambition and humor also count," said Bassil.

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie were not on the list while Britney Spears, in the midst of staging a comeback, was back after dropping off the list for a couple of years. She was ranked at No. 90.

Rounding out the top 10, in the following order, were:

4. Keeley Hazell
5. Anne Hathaway
6. Alessandra Ambrosio
7. Scarlett Johansson
8. Rihanna
9. Kristen Bell
10. Kate Beckinsale
