On Tuesday, manly mag Esquire named Halle Berry its Sexiest Woman Alive, 2008. I certainly can’t argue with that. Not only does she always look great (how quickly she sprang back into perfect form after welcoming baby Nahla!), she’s talented and seems smart.
While there are many incredibly sexy female celebrities, and Berry’s right up there on my list, two in particular are tops in my book:

Hayek always manages to look great, regardless of outfit.

Salma Hayek
The hair, the eyes, the voluptuous body, the accent! And oh, the intelligence and heart behind her work! Her role as unlucky-in-love Mexican painter Frida Kahlo in 2002's “Frida” (which she also co-produced) earned her a nod from the Academy for best actress. More recently, she adapted a Colombian telenovela and turned it into the hit “Ugly Betty.” In addition, Hayek not only speaks out against violence against women, but has also donated thousands to support anti-domestic violence groups and to build shelters for battered women in Mexico. Beauty and brains? Check!
Shirley Manson
The Garbage crooner not only has the looks and the body, but also the voice and the attitude. (Miley and Britney can learn some serious lessons from her on how to be a “bad” girl without getting all of the bad press, but Manson’s sultry, lovely vocals can’t taught.) She’s penned many of the band’s hits, including songs with a political edge on the latest album, "Bleed Like Me," that placed the group high atop the charts. Then there’s her charity work, which includes ambassador for the MAC AIDS Fund and PETA poster girl for a campaign against using fur in clothing. Yup, I’m bowing down to her, just as she commands in “Supervixen.”
One thing these two women seem to have in common is that they’re not overexposed. Their private lives are a bit of a mystery to me (save for the rare rumor of whom they may be dating), which makes them more likeable. I don’t have much to taint my ideas of them beyond physical attractiveness and their work, something that Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson can’t claim.
But what one person thinks is sexy doesn’t resonate with another. Which female celebs do you think are the hottest, and why? And don’t worry, we’ll discuss hottie male stars next week!
