Charlize TheronCharlize TheronCharlize Theron is a real beaut.

But on the gorge-o-meter, where does she rate?

Ding-dong.

That's the sound of her hitting the top of the scale.

According to the chappies at US Esquire mag she's the sexiest woman alive.

She may well be super-famous and hot, but she ain't a mahoosive fan of the fame malarky.

She told the mag: "I can't go anywhere. Not if we want to talk."

And it's safe to say she doesn't think the sun shines out of her posterior.

Especially when it comes to her work - she's happy to hold her hands up if she's made a howler.

Like her box office flop Reindeer Games.

She admitted: "That was a bad, bad, bad movie."

Still, being named sexiest lady is bound to cheer her up. But how did she land the title?
