Rihanna named Esquire`s Sexiest Woman Alive
The `S&M` singer beat a host of famous beauties to take the US edition of the men`s magazine`s annual title including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Emma Stone, Beyonce Knowles, MMA Fighter Gina Carano and tennis player Victoria Azarenka.
In an accompanying interview with the publication, Rihanna claims she doesn`t even try hard to be sexy when she is performing live, despite playing a set which features her change into several flash-fleshing outfits, ride the turret of a pink tank and routinely pull male fans on stage to give a lap dance to.
The 23-year-pop superstar - who appears naked on the cover of Esquire - said: "At the end of a concert, I don`t feel like I`ve been this sexy thing. Really, I don`t even think about it. I mean, unless it`s a song that really calls for it, like `Skin` or `S&M,` or when I cover `Darling Nikki`. Although there`s a section that`s called `Sex` in the show, which is the obvious section for sexuality."
The Barbados-born star admits she had an embarrassing moment when her lap dance routine got one guy a bit too excited after she had grinded on him.
Speaking about the segment on her `Loud Tour`, she explained: "The way I pick the person is, whoever I feel doesn`t take themselves too seriously, or who I think would be majorly embarrassed about it. Like these old men ? it`s hilarious. At first, it was just going to be girls. And then one night, I brought up a gay guy, and then I started bringing up straight guys. Then I started bringing up older straight men. Did you see the one who was getting way too comfortable? I can`t remember the city, but I remember what the guy looked like ? He was just getting excited ? We have pictures!"
Rihanna inherits her Esquire`s Sexiest Woman Alive from last year`s recipient, `30 Rock` star Katrina Bowden.
Previous winners include Minka Kelly (2010), Kate Beckinsale (2009), Halle Berry (2008), Charlize Theron (2007), Scarlett Johansson (2006), Jessica Biel (2005) and Angelina Jolie (2004).
