New York , May 01: It's official, Halle Berry, the actress whose star has risen in recent years thanks to an Oscar win and a stint as a Bond girl, is beautiful. People magazine named the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in its latest issue, which hits newsstands on Friday, with Berry's face on the cover.
The Oscar-winning actress made the list for the seventh time, while fellow Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts made the list for an eighth time, the magazine said. First on the list of men was Ashton Kutcher of "That '70s Show," who described himself in the magazine as "a guy's guy... I don't comb my hair unless I have to."
Also listed were actresses Nicole Kidman, singer Britney Spears, who said her beauty secret was "lots and lots of sleep," actress Susan Sarandon and her daughter, actress Eva Amurri, actresses Catherine Zeta-Jones, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Aniston, Queen Latifah, Julianne Moore, 16-year-old twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and singer Norah Jones.
Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis whose debut album has just been released, was also on the list and admitted to little beauty discipline.
"I smoke, I don't do yoga ... I bite the hell out of my nails," Presley said.
Also on the list were Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, actors George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Peter Krause, Colin Farrell, Leonardo DiCaprio, professional basketball player Tony Parker, flamenco dancer Farruquito and jockey Gary Stevens.
Comedic actor and writer Steve Martin was also named as a hunk, but joked his beauty "is actually a burden."
"Sometimes I go to a party and not one of the other 49 most beautiful people is there," he said in the magazine. "That makes me feel very solitary and alone, because it means I am the most beautiful person in the room."
