Kate Beckinsale, 36, is the sexiest woman alive. She has been nominated by the Esquire magazine as 2009 Sexiest Woman Alive.
Last year’s winner of the Esquire prize was Halle Berry.
“T.i. whole notion of being named ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ is going to earn me quite a beating,” Kate declared.
“You can’t have that title with four brothers. I’ll get wedgies. Headlocks. Noogies.”
“I like the idea of it, too. I do,” she added. “I’m feeling that I must earn this. I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something.”
