Halle Berry Named Sexiest Woman Alive

LOS ANGELES — Alongside a photo spread that shows her in little more than a T-shirt, Halle Berry talks about being the sexiest woman alive, a title Esquire magazine gives her in its November issue.

"I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it," says Berry, who gave birth to her daughter, Nahla, in March.

"Sexiness is a state of mind _ a comfortable state of being," she says. "It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments."

But Berry, who won an Oscar for her role in "Monster's Ball," can't claim the sexiest-woman honor all to herself.

"I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment," she says.

Doesn't the reigning SWA/SMA have to croak before you can name a new one?

[Zofomofo]

She's hot but come on, sexist alive?

[Big0725]

This chick makes my teeth sweat.

[YouDisgustMe]

esquire has been getting it right all week...first the O endorsement, now this.

[Intelligentia]

Ladies and gentlemen, don't fall for the mind control. Yes, Halle Berry is a beautiful woman but you don't need a magazine to determine for you whether she is the msot beautiful woman in the world or not. Only you can make that decision! How do you define beauty? Painted face, enhanced with plactic surgery (not referring to Ms. Berry per se)?

[Big0725]

Have a Coke and a smile and shut the f--k up!

[enomaj]

Eddie Murphy reference!

[imfedup]

She is indeed very sexy. But who can be audacious enough to make this determination?

[realitycheck7]

NOT

[chronic]

Jealous?

[MM5]

cute...but wouldn't say sexiest

[deckard70]

She wins for most-egomaniacal, if the behind-the-scenes clips for the X-Men films are any indication.

[Jablum]

Halle has a serious cross cultural appeal. This makes her sexy--you can't box her in. The same with Rihanna--very beautiful girl and easily runner up.
Halle deserves it hands down. She has a timeless beauty-with and without face paint.

[MARTYB]

Loved her comment about "every woman being a nominee at any given moment," There is such a thing as too much "booty" and yes i am a "blood", just not particularly into "junk in the trunk".

[DereksDontRun]

I swear she doesn't do it for me. I can see that she is really hot, but she just doesn't light my fire.

[Jablum]

Note to self---not everyone will appeal to ya.

[imfedup]

Have you seen Swordfish?

[batmanindy]

Okay, she wins. But my wife is a close second.

[Zofomofo]

"insert vomit sound here"

[Centaur]

Halle's hotter than ever! With all due respect to a number of beautiful women, Esquire got it right.

[strangerinthenight]

There must be something about pregnancy and having babies, adopting babies and being a Mom. Halle is looking more beautiful than ever - just like Jennifer, Selma, Gwen et al. Oh, did I miss Angelina ?

They are all glowing mom ! There is really something about all mothers !

[dct1999]

Yeah, Sarah Palin is "glowing" too, with hate and rage.

[strangerinthenight]

I am just betting you do not have a mother.
