Angelina Jolie: Sexiest Woman Alive

Our faith in the masses has been restored: Esquire announced that Angelina Jolie was voted "Sexiest Woman Alive" by its editorial staff and readers yesterday and will appear on the cover of their annual "Women We Love" issue this week. Runners up included Halle Berry in the #2 spot and ... uh, Britney Spears at #3, presumably chosen by readers based on her historical import rather than the nose-picking skin eruption victim she's become these days. (Maybe our faith in the masses isn't as strong as we thought.)
