Minka Kelly Named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 11th 2010 04:36PM

Esquire bestowed the honor of sexiest woman alive to 'Friday Night Lights' star Minka Kelly this year.

In an interview with the magazine, the actress talks about herself, what it's like to be 30, and growing up the daughter of a stripper.

"I'm a very nice girl, but nobody pushes me around," she says. Read More Inside >>>

Growing up: My mom lived a fast life. It was all about what we could do to have fun with nothing. She - for most of my life, she was a dancer. An exotic dancer. She was a stripper. Um, so she would come home at like three, four o'clock in the morning, and sometimes she would have a really great night, and so she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we'd go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping. And that was so much fun. We'd have the whole grocery store to ourselves, and we would have a blast and buy a hundred dollars in groceries. And it was just the best day ever. The best day."

Turning 30: It is a big one and I love it. I think it's the most exciting birthday I think I've ever had. I'm so excited to be a woman. Done with the twenties. I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself. I think my thirtieth birthday gave me permission to have all that. The twenties were a pain in the ass - figuring it all out. What am I doing? Where do I go?

After the reporter noticed how she thanked everyone at dinner: My boyfriend [Derek Jeter] noticed that about me, too. He's the same way, and he said it was a good way to judge someone's character. It's actually unfortunate, in a way, that you would notice that. It blows my mind that anyone could be unkind to anyone. The guy clearing our plates is a person. I don't care if you're sweeping the floor. I don't care if you're cleaning my toilet.

She sure is hot, but she can't act worth a lick.

Why would you think she looks hot when she is so skinny looking wth fake looking boobs? My favorite Miley blows her away. Miley has a more pretty face too. And I know Miley is too young for you , but so is this woman that I don't even know who she is. But I click on this because I was surfing and "sexiest woman" always gets my attention.

I'm pretty sure her boobs are real and just manipulated through wonder bras, angles, and photoshop to look bigger.

I'm too busy lusting over Shania Twain to be distracted by someone I don't know. Claim to fame....Derek Jeter's girl friend? Two weeks from now she'll be A-Rod's girl friend and then she'll be leftovers for the rest of you.

The most important thing is that she's very intelligent and has inner beauty. She has managed to rise above the superficial looks so many people think important and succede on merit alone. I'm sure she woulds get the same attention if she were 4'10" and 200 lbs.

Another "famous" person only because she's the daugher of an Aerosmith father & stripper mother. Hasn't this story been told before? A child who's "excited" to go to Ralph's in the middle of the night to buy food? And her boobs are fake. She was "given" a boob job, then had to work for the surgeon as his receptionist to pay them off. PA-THE-TIC!
