Recently,Esquire magazine has chosen 36 year-old British actress Kate Beckinsale as the Sexiest Woman Alive.
Actress Beckinsale, has grabbed the title from Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, who was hailed as the sexiest lady by Esquire.
But reportedly it's not going to her head and the actress is managing it all really well.
She apparently said: ''This whole notion of being named Sexiest Woman Alive is going to earn me quite a beating. You can't have that title with four brothers. I'll get wedgies. Headlocks. Noogies (knuckles to the head)'' I'm feeling that I must earn this - I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something.''
Must say, this dame sure has a good sense of humour.
"I dropped out of Oxford, and now I only speak Russian with the woman who gives me a bikini wax. See what Hollywood does to you?"
