ESQUIRE: MINKA KELLY IS THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE

Minka Kelly has been named the 2010 Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire. Here she is flaunting her torso on the cover of the November issue, which hits newsstands on October 19.

According to the mag, the 30-year-old actress is “beautiful. She’s athletic. She’s worked gunshot wounds as a surgical nurse and she can act!” Her mom was also a stripper, she tells Esquire, so maybe it’s in her genes.

Her reaction: “It’s flattering. It’s very flattering,” she says in an Esquire video.

Minka takes the title from Kate Beckinsale, last year’s Sexiest Woman Alive.
