t took a while for Hollywood to recognize her talent but when it did, FHM January cover girl Halle Berry embraced it with dignity and modesty. After winning the Oscar for her performance in Monster's Ball, the 37-year old Cleveland native continued to dominate the box-office with roles in the Bond film Die Another Day and the X-Men sequel, X2. Aside from being FHM's first cover girl for 2004, Halle is also the reigning Sexiest Woman in the World as voted by millions of FHM readers around the globe and she's the first Academy Award winning actress to snag the title. Her winning streak seems assured with the upcoming release of the psychological thriller Gothika.

When asked how she felt about being voted FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World, Halle, who says that the sexiest part of her body is her feet, excitedly replies,"It tripped me out! I honestly don't often think of myself that way until my name pops up and I think, 'Wow!'. It's very flattering".

FHM also welcomes with open arms former FHM cover girl and Viva Hot Babe Sheree as she returns wiser and definitely sexier than ever. Find out what she's busy with these days and how she reacts when people confuse her with former sexy star Vivian Velez.
