LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The new Sexiest Woman Alive is an action hero.

"I do think I could kick your ass," Kate Beckinsale, 36, said in the November issue of Esquire, which has given the "Whiteout" star its yearly title - an honor she said won't come without punishment.

"This whole notion of being named 'Sexiest Woman Alive' is going to earn me quite a beating," Kate told the mag. "You can't have that title with four brothers. I'll get wedgies. Headlocks. Noogies."

Still, she's happy to have the title - and said she'll work to hang onto it.

"I like the idea of it, too," she said. "I do. I'm feeling that I must earn this. I need to go out and become much better at pole dancing or something."

While the beauty has been admired for her looks, like 2008's Sexiest Woman, "X-Men" star Halle Berry, she's shown off her tougher side in films such as the "Underworld" franchise.

"What's dangerous about doing action movies is that I'm used to men on wires. I punch a guy and he flies over a wall," she explained. "So I tend to feel like that's me that did that."

    Esquire is such an irrelevant magazine. The editor should get fired for allowing the pick! Simply the wrong woman for this, although, she is beautiful, but not the sexiest woman. Someone needs to be slapped for this!

    i have always put her at the top, i really think people are forgetting beauty comes from within as well, and you don't see her whoreing around for attention, she is always with her family being real, if she ain't beauty well i don't know what is.

    Hi , I want to say that regardless of what other people say she is still a talented actress and over all good person . Just because your jealous about her and her popularity is no need to say bad things about her , so in other words , Is she deserving of the title ? , lets leave upto the people in the offices of the media , Thank you .
