Halle Berry Is Sexiest Woman Alive

10/08/2008

Halle Berry may be a mommy of a certain age, but the men's magazine Esquire says the Oscar-winning actress is still the Sexiest Woman Alive.
In an article posted on Tuesday on the magazine's website (www.esquire.com), Berry poses in a parody of a 2000 cover photograph of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and writes about what she thinks of winning Esquire's annual honor for the first time.
"Well, I don't know exactly what it means but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it," Berry wrote.
Esquire said it dressed Berry in a racier version of Clinton's suit jacket and blue tie to recreate an iconic cover for its 75th anniversary celebration.
Berry starred last year in the movie "Things We Lost in the Fire" and is due to star next year in "Frankie and Alice," a film about a woman with multiple personality disorder.
In the Esquire article, Berry describes things she finds sexy. It turns out that spaghetti and wine are major turn-ons.
"Sexy is not about wearing sexy clothes or shaking your booty until you damn near get hip dysplasia; it's about knowing that sexiness is a state of mind -- a comfortable state of being," she said.
