Angelina Jolie is sexiest female celebrity

Angelina Jolie, Hollywood actress and actor Brad Pitt's partner, has been chosen as the "sexiest female celebrity" by visitors to Playboy.com.

Angelina Jolie, daughter of Hollywood actor Jon Voight, has been followed by actress Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba on the list.

The others include Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alicia Keys, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

The fourth place in the 'sexy' ladder was shared by Playboy boss Hugh Hefner's three “girlfriends” from the reality show The Girls Next Door. The three girlfriends are Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.

Even though Angelina Jolie is the “sexiest," Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson will appear on the cover of Playboy's March 2008 issue. This is the third time, the trio is appearing on the cover of Playboy.

Hugh Hefner was quoted by the media as saying, "It kinda happened by accident. It was not the original plan. I knew we were overdue for a cover featuring the girls. For our annual sexiest celebrities list, we always get votes from readers on the internet of who should be on the top of the list. Lo and behold, as the votes were coming in, we found the girls moving up higher and higher on the list.”

Hefner elaborated on his ongoing relationship with the three women: “To be perfectly frank, I have unexpectedly fallen in love. It is the relationship with Holly that will probably last forever. The others will last for as long as they want it to last before going on with their careers and lives.”

Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson will be featured together in three different covers for the 25 Sexiest Celebrities issue. In the cover image for the newsstand edition, to be out on February 8, 2008, the three women are attired in glittery lingerie in front of a starry backdrop.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly magazine quoted a "close source” as saying that Angelina Jolie is once again pregnant. The magazine added that Angelina may “sell” the confirmation of her pregnancy – with the money going to charity.

Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have four children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 19 months.
