Oct 7 2008Halle Berry's 'Sexiest Woman Alive' Photo Shoot
Halle Berry is Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive, 2008. Check out her pictorial by photographer Cliff Watts which sort of makes me regret pummeling print journalism with an iron fist. Well, that, and it's not like I can take my laptop in the can. Or maybe...
UPDATE: Two laptops and a case of pink eye later, I can safely conclude magazines still serve a vital function in society. You may now call me "Savior," field of journalism.

Everyone digs a black chick with the features of a white chick.
Except me.
17. OJ's Mom - October 7, 2008 6:21 PM
They have to keep her all covered up because her stomach and tits were destroyed after the baby. I cant imagine what kind of fucking train wreck is being hidden under that shirt. *shudder*
I wouldn't fuck her with Katie Holmes dick.
18. jiggawhat? - October 7, 2008 6:46 PM
BWAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sexiest woman alive? Ridiculous. The list's makers are probably queer. She's an 8 at best. Now more like a 7. Every single douche-bag reading this shit knows, works with, fucks or lives nextdoor to someone sexier than Halle Berry.
19. Anonymous - October 7, 2008 6:50 PM
She's good looking.....but the sexiest woman in the world BY FAR is Brooke Burke. No one else even comes close.

#22 fuck off with your racist comments, your upset because your wife is fat, ugly and pasty . It doesn't matter if your not into Hallie ( which is impossible if your really a man) she would never be into a prick loser like you, that's why your haten.
25. Jimbo - October 7, 2008 7:29 PM

if sexiness was a state of mind, why does she have to be nekkid in this shoot?
27. Mary - October 7, 2008 7:32 PM
In what why are her features white?? she has brown skin, a wider nose and full lips?

I feel sorry for the poor ignorant racists posting here.
First, Halle Berry wins the well-deserved sexiest woman alive crown for 2008, And they are going to spend the next four years being lead by a black man more intelligent and talented than they are.
Oh, it's always been hard to be a uneducated racist who blames others for life's disappointments. But it now has just become cruel....
30. I'm Barack Obama and I approve... - October 7, 2008 7:52 PM

Hey-oh!!
32. Realist - October 7, 2008 8:07 PM
She's hot! Anyone who says not is either gay, a enuch, or deluded. Sexiest woman alive? Don't know. Maybe 5 years ago. Maybe before the kid. She's dropped a little. But still one of the hottest women around!
33. Lisa - October 7, 2008 8:08 PM
# 27 Shes half white. She looks half white and half black.
Shes gorgeous but not 'the sexiest woman alive'. Thats ridiculous.
34. Good God - October 7, 2008 8:26 PM

35. SOS - October 7, 2008 8:29 PM
WTF, sexiest woman alive... you know a lot of these rankings really kiss Halle Berry's ass, like seriously. KISS her ass.
36. Strong - October 7, 2008 8:49 PM
she is really sexy. seems that she is very hot on **Fitness loving. Com*** that is a fitness singles and sports lovers dating club. she must go there to find someone. i also saw her hot pics and videos on that web. unless you watch it, you won't know how...she is.
37. Robyn - October 7, 2008 10:05 PM
Those shirts look like someone stuck a sticker on her, or like that crap quality screen print that I could scratch off with my fingernail. I'm too distracted by the shitty shirts to even look at her body.
38. Joe Mahma - October 7, 2008 10:20 PM
Funny how they don't show her stubby legs.
39. ummm...yeah - October 7, 2008 10:28 PM

lucky for her she got a lot of white features. but she still has those skinny ghetto whore calves.
43. HorribleJudgment - October 7, 2008 11:42 PM
YAWWWN! This is the most boring photo shoot ever! Especially for a "most sexiest woman ever" photo shoot, or whatever the fuck it was. And they picked her as the sexiest woman ever? Give me a break. She's attractive, sure. A lot of people think she is, and that's why they picked her. They went with a safe fucking choice, because 9 times out of 10, these magazines always pick this woman for no reason. But let's face facts, here. Halle Berry is not the sexiest woman. Maybe 6 to 10 years ago, but not today.
44. a - October 8, 2008 12:29 AM
she's black, as her what color she is and she won't say half white. If you have any black in you, you are black bottom line. So to all you racist idiots how does it feel to have a black women as the sexiest women alive, and a a black about to be president all in the same year. Take that shit you fuckin idiots

YOU ALL BE RASISTS
48. Blah - October 8, 2008 6:18 AM
She's very pretty, yes. But sexiest woman alive??? I think not even close. Not now, not ever. She's always had a great figure and a pretty face; but I would give her at most a 9, when she was in peak form. Probably more of an 8, really. She is over-rated. And didn't she have a nose job anyways to thin it down? ...So much for natural beauty. But she does look amazing for her age; she looks like she's in her late 20's, early 30's; Nice genes.
49. jesus - October 8, 2008 6:26 AM
berry and obama are both half white. there hasn't been a true full blooded nigger who ever accomplished anything. except raise the violent crime statistics.

How does having a drop of "black" blood in you make you 100% "black"? Is there some mystical quality of "African-American" blood that totally dominates the whole body?
If that's the case, then if a white person gets a blood transfusion from a black person, can he apply for affirmative action?
52. bootlips - October 8, 2008 8:01 AM
She's so NOT sexy. Her tits aren't all that, she wears wigs, she has a boyish face, and she's psychotic.She gets all the attention because she's considered good looking for a black woman, even though she's half white (obviously). I could go to my local mall and find a hundred hotter chicks than Halle.
53. voracious - October 8, 2008 8:17 AM
She is verry very very pretty...but she is NOT sexy at ALL.
Whoever made the comment about not being able to keep a man? Well that goes for half of hollywood. Actually 98% of Hollywood!
54. English Bob - October 8, 2008 8:21 AM
You guys are hilarous, you slag this woman off because she's black, but next month you're going to have a black president. I hope he kicks all you racist white fuckers out of the states, maybe you could all go and live in Australia (...Ha! Like they'd let you lot in!!).....o.k. France it is.

56. Yank and Wank - they rhyme for a reason - October 8, 2008 8:49 AM
She's not black she is mixed race, her mother is white thus she can NOT be black. You Americans are SO racist with your BLACK tag for everyone who is not 100% European extraction.
She is a beauty but has had surgery nose and breasts.
57. Yank and Wank - they rhyme for a reason - October 8, 2008 8:50 AM
@44 what an ignorant and probably American fuckwit to boot.
58. Yank and Wank - they rhyme for a reason - October 8, 2008 8:52 AM
@54 there is no way France is letting Americans in, most Americans aren't Muslim and you have to be a Muslim to get in to France, Oh I bet they rue the day they colonised Morocco and Algeria in France now, like we rue the day we colonised India.
59. Ed - October 8, 2008 9:04 AM
"She's not black she is mixed race, her mother is white thus she can NOT be black. You Americans are SO racist with your BLACK tag for everyone who is not 100% European extraction."
You've got it the wrong way. In America black folks claim just about anybody famous with some percentage of black heritage, for example Tiger Woods (who's unquestionably "Asian" if you're going to give a single-group label, as he has tried to say on many occasions). Black Americans definitely claim Halle Berry - the black women do because Halle is successful, and the black men do because, as we all know, they prefer beautiful LIGHT-SKINNED "black" women.

Damn, I thought Michael Jackson got the sexiest woman alive honors this year.
This chick and Jennifer Anniston apparently have the same "issues", they just never are able to please the fellas behind closed doors. Looks obviously do not match performance, what a let down.David Justice said she was a dead fuck 10 years ago....

70. White Dude - October 8, 2008 1:05 PM
Hey, Halle's always been on my top 5 list of completely HOT ladies but... these photos kinda suck. She should've won this about 5 years ago because age is starting to take its toll just like it does on everyone. I'll always remember that scene in the Bond film where she's walking out of the surf...OMG... instant woodage!
71. Ted from LA - October 8, 2008 1:15 PM
They should be more specific, such as "Sexiest Pain in the Ass Alive." Sarah Palin the librarian porn star could give her a run for her money. Darn right youbetcha.

she used to be the shit, but one would think the "sexiest woman alive" wouldn't be afraid to show her stomach... for Christ's sake, i've literally seen girls at funerals dress sexier.
74. xxx - October 8, 2008 2:16 PM

She's beautiful and made a deal with the devil. Looks like she's 30. Gorgeous woman.

A classy woman knows that sexy doesn't equal slutty or trashy.
77. yeah right - October 8, 2008 2:30 PM
Maybe a top 10 five years ago but definitely not the sexiest woman alive then or today.
78. offbeat_89 - October 8, 2008 2:45 PM

79. hreem108 - October 8, 2008 2:48 PM
well as long as she is young , she is sexy , but when she grows old, the thing will be gone, same thing happens to man also.

Halle Berry has a white mother and shows much love and respect for her.
Halle Berry is married to a white man and had a baby with him.
Halle Berry has a black father.
Halle Berry accepted her Academy Award with respect for black women and the struggles of the black race.
She embraces who she is. She is not black, she is not white. I "get it" but I don't exactly understand why when someone is 'half black/half white' they are considered black. Halle Berry considers herself a woman. She knows that she is perceived as a black woman by 99.99% of the world, thus a large reason in her stating how proud she is for her success. Because of the world's perception, she has overcome many obstacles. Her features can be considered both black and white. There are racist remarks all over this page, and I think she would agree that many of the rebuttals by (seemingly) black women on this page are just as racist as the comment they are disputing.
She is a gorgeous WOMAN.

Why do they keep pushing her as 'sexiest woman alive'? She's not even close. She's not even that sexy; just fairly pretty. I don't think I've ever become aroused looking at her.
It's the multicultists with their agenda at work here.

hi,
95. friendlyfires - October 9, 2008 3:26 AM
I'd like HB, even when she gains 20lbs in the wrong places ( so I like pregnant women ). She's cute, sexy, definitely messed up in head, and something MUST be going on, because she always hooks up with guys who walk out on her.
Though I do have an obsession with both Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci. But I can't get both in the bed together. What to do? Three years ago, I almost perfected a solution. One night, I'm nailing Christina, but I've snuck a temporary tattoo of Winona on Christina's gi-normous forehead. It almost worked, 'til I fell alseep after nailing Ricci for eighteen hours straight and she gets up to pee, then looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Yada, yada, yada, neither one speaks or wants to go to bed with me (great sigh the size of Montana and echoes for days in the Grand Canyon, such is my pining).
So, Halle Berry, whatever it is that drives men towards you to have sex then causes them to abandon you like the Winston Light butt in my mashed potatoes, I shall overcome and devote my penis , er , my unabashed devotion, to you.

#93 I checked a couple of photos out, and Im no gay, but there is no comparison. Halle is much prettier. No offense, but Mallika looks like the average white girl. Nothing there to see. Come betta brotha. There is no one out there who looks quite like Halle, but plenty out on the streets that look like this plain Jane woman. Just my honest opinion. Next time come up with a better reference.
102. Yeah right - October 14, 2008 2:24 AM
This is hilarious. I never understood why anyone found this woman attractive, with her fake plastic surgery nose, annoying voice and hysterics, not to mention those weird wide legs of hers lol...Sexiest woman my ass. I guess it's Black month or is it Black year?
