Castle's Stana Katic Makes 2012 Maxim Hot 100 List

America has spoken! For the first time in Maxim Hot 100 history, readers were given the opportunity to weigh in on the world's most beautiful women. And not surprisingly, they gave Castle beauty Stana Katic a much-deserved place on the list.

The 34-year-old Canadian stunner clocked in at No. 80, ahead of Pippa Middleton and Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries.

"We'd seriously contemplate a life in crime if it meant getting pursued by this Castle star," the website reads. "She's the reason God created frisking."

Ever the class act, Stana thanked Maxim yesterday via Twitter: 

Congratulations, Stana!
