Kevin Sorbo Nods in Agreement


Following on the heels of Halle Berry last year and Charlize Theron the year before that, Kate Beckinsale has been named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive.

The award, originated in 2004 with (who else?) Angelina Jolie, has also gone to such skintastic babes as Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson, which means that every one of the actresses named so far has done movie nudity.

Maybe that’s why shrill skinflintMegan Fox wasn’t in the running.

"I'm feeling that I must earn this,” Kate responded to the award. “I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something,"

Now you’re talking, Kate.

Of course Esquire isn’t saying anything Kevin Sorbo wasn’t saying to Mr. Skin over a year ago.

When asked what actress he would cast as Xena in a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess, Sorbo didn’t hesitate.

“I would, I think, pick Kate Beckinsale,” he replied, “only because she’s so hot in Underworld. Phenomenal! I was jealous that I didn’t get that part. Scott Speedman or someone played that part? I would have loved to have played that part.”

Easy, Hercules!
