She’s a sultry beauty, a doting new mom, and an Oscar-winning actress -- and now, Halle Berry has been named Esquire magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive 2008! Halle speaks out about the flattering new title in her written acceptance speech.

“I’ve picked up a little over the years,” Halle writes. “Sexy is not about wearing sexy clothes or shaking your booty until you … get hip dysplasia; it’s about knowing that sexiness is a state of mind -- a comfortable state of being. It’s about loving yourself even in your most unlovable moments.”

The talented beauty also jokes about the timing of her new title, saying that as a 42-year-old new mom, she’s happy to take the honor!

She then tells readers what is sexy to her, like eating spaghetti off the tips of a man’s fingers.

Other things she finds sexy: wine, lingerie, men’s forearms, and the smell of her man's car!

You can read more of Halle’s acceptance speech in the latest edition of Esquire.

  • She looks alright but no where near the sexiest woman alive... I think she's way over rated and always has been.

  • I think they mean the hottest american female celebrity over the age of 40. There are lots of people hotter than her in Hollywood alone, Alba, Paris, Jolie just to name a few.
