Maxim unveils this year’s Hot 100 list and Ashley made it to number 82. While she is far from the top, this is the first time she made the cut, so congrats, Ash! Check out the full list here!

Ashley Benson

We may or may not have seen Ashley Benson on Days of Our Lives, The O.C., and Bring It On: In It to Win It. Now she’s on the scandalous teen drama, Pretty Little Liars, and can also be seen starring opposite James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, and Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers.

People’s Choice Awards 2013 Nominee Voting has been opened so now fans can vote for their favorites to help narrow down the nominee list from 12 to 5 per category. All you need to do is to keep voting for Ashley and her show “Pretty Little Liars” as often as you have time for until November 2 so they can officially be nominated for the awards!

They will announce the official nominees on November 15.

Currently “Pretty Little Liars” is listed under :

• Favorite Cable TV Drama (PLL won this earlier this year)
• Favorite TV Fan Following (for Little Liars)

Note that you can also suggest a name in the ‘Other’ box if you don’t see it on the list.

Pretty Little Liars (ABC FAMILY)

The show revolves around the struggles young teens face when dealing with questions of sexuality, following a teen lesbian as she ‘comes out’ despite her parent’s opposition.

Pretty Little Liars came back on the charts this week; the ABC Family hit drama series is a social TV record holder. Its season two finale generated the most social media buzz of any regularly scheduled series in TV history. The show is likely to climb back up the charts as season three heats up.

In a show full of murders and mayhem, Hanna Marin always makes us laugh.

Prepare yourselves for the 100 hottest women on Earth!

This year in our sixth annual Hot 100 reader poll, over 170,000 votes were cast by our readers for over 1,700 different women. We tallied the votes and ranked the top 100 vote-getters.

What’s so interesting every year is how perceived hotness fluctuates. TV actresses always make a strong showing, so much that they even stick around when their show goes off the air. But where The L Word and Skins actresses used to reign, now Glee, Lip Service, Lost Girl and even the women of web series cut in to give them some stiff competition.

The movie star types and out lesbian/bisexual women we love are fairly consistent. It’s hard to imagine a year when some of them wouldn’t make the list, especially those that have taken the top honor in a previous year. About one quarter of the this year’s list are out women and, interestingly, all of the musicians who made the list are part of that stat. Most of the actors, however, have played a lesbian or bisexual role at some point in their career, with a few notable exceptions. (You guys don’t discriminate! And there’s always hope.)

Overall, the commonality seems to be women with an edge. There are no cookie-cutter types on our list. Sure, some might have girl-next-door looks, but they aren’t interested in taking the easy way, whatever their paths might be. Whether it’s just living life as an out celebrity or taking roles that challenge the status quo, AfterEllen.com readers celebrate women who are more than just aesthetically pleasing. We hope even if your top pick didn’t make it this year, you can at least be proud to be part of something that is more substantive than Maxim’s Hot 100, which is why this whole thing began in the first place. We wanted something more; you wanted something more. And here is 2012′s Hot 100, according to you.
