Johansson gets rated the sexiest

Scarlett Johansson tops a list of the “100 Sexiest Women in the World” in a poll of readers by FHM, a young men’s magazine.

“One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy,” the 21-year-old actress said in a statement. “I’d like to thank FHM’s readers for the huge compliment.”

Angelina Jolie is No. 2, followed by Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, Keira Knightley, Halle Berry, Jenny McCarthy, Maria Sharapova, Carmen Electra and Teri Hatcher.

Scott Gramling, U.S. editor in chief, cited Johansson’s “sultry voice and striking beauty,” as well as her confidence, for winning over FHM readers. “She seems to be one of those women who would be equally at ease on the red carpet as she would just hanging out with the guys.”
