Maxim Australia has released its annual Hot 100 list for 2023, showcasing the most successful and beautiful women in entertainment, sport and pop culture.

Topping the list is actress Margot Robbie, 33, whose Hollywood career continues to shine following the release of her latest film Barbie.

Barbie became Warner Bros’ highest domestic grossing film ever making $537million at the US box office and earning a total of $1.2billion in cinemas around the world.

It marks the second year in a row and the record fourth time that Robbie has topped the Hot 100.

Matildas soccer star Sam Kerr also made the list in second place followed by Delta Goodrem and Sophie Monk.

Margot Robbie topped the Maxim Hot 100 for the second year in a row alongside Sophie Monk, Delta Goodrem and Abbie Chatfield.

Former Bachelor star and podcaster Abbie Chatfield, 28, landed at ninth place, while Married At First Sight star Evelyn Ellis made the list in 10th place.

Meanwhile, Kayne West’s wife Bianca Censori came in at 18th place on the list.

The couple have been making headlines following their lengthy vacation in Italy, which saw scandalous ensembles to an indecent exposure controversy.

The Voice Australia host Sonia Kruger landed in at number 36 while Nicole Kidman was placed in at 48th.

Just a few positions down from Kidman is KIIS FM presenter Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, who clocked in at 60th.

The feat was accomplished in partnership with food brand Gino at Victoria Island, Lagos, and has now been formally recognized by Guinness World Records.

Award-winning Nigerian singer, Davido has debunked social media claims suggesting he was slapped during a recent outing in Warri, Delta State.

A viral video that surfaced online showed the singer in the midst of security operatives and fans, with a brief moment where he appeared to be struck on the head.

This led an X user, #AsakyGRN, to post: “Warri people no get joy oo. See dem sl@p Davido for head.”

https://x.com/itzbasito/status/1967582406875254789?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1967582406875254789%7Ctwgr%5E246ffeffb5e9575f6e4f4e2272b3c54eb91834d7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vanguardngr.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fvideo-hit-me-by-mistake-davido-clarifies-viral-video-incident%2F

Addressing the speculation on his official X handle on Monday, Davido clarified that it was his security aide who accidentally hit him, not an assault from the crowd.

“Mumu that was my security… hit me by mistake… saddist,” the singer wrote.

His response has since put an end to the rumors and clarified the misunderstanding surrounding the viral clip.

Brazilian jazz legend Hermeto Pascoal has died at the age of 89, his family announced on Saturday.

Pascoal, known for his long white beard and hair, earned the nickname “The Sorcerer” for his ability to create music using a wide range of instruments and everyday objects.

In a statement on Instagram, his family said he died “with serenity and love,” surrounded by relatives and fellow musicians. They noted that at the moment of his passing, Pascoal’s band was performing on stage, “just as he would have wished: making sound and music.”

Born in Alagoas state in northeastern Brazil, Pascoal rose to international prominence through collaborations with jazz great Miles Davis and performances with other top musicians. Davis recorded some of Pascoal’s compositions, cementing his reputation as an innovative force in global jazz.

Pascoal was celebrated as a virtuoso who mastered multiple instruments and was renowned for his improvisational skill.

Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso paid tribute on Instagram, describing Pascoal as “one of the highest points in the history of music in Brazil.”
