Six months after giving birth, Halle Berry is gracing the cover of Esquire's annual "Sexiest Woman Alive" issue.
Reacting to her "official" status as a red-hot momma, Berry tells the mag, "I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it."
Berry — who mimics Bill Clinton's famous circa-2000 Esquire cover pose, though minus the suit pants and shirt — says, "Sexiness is a state of mind.... I know damned well I am sexier now than I used to be."
There's also a bit where she boasts about now having "better orgasms than when I was 22," but I shan't bore you with details.

An audience member at Friday's taping tells the New York Post that Berry — while showing Jay distorted images of herself using her iMac's Photo Booth tool — suggested that a large-nosed version "looks like my Jewish cousin." (Cue awkward silence.) Berry later asked Jay to clip the quip, and he did, but her gaffe came to light anyway. Says the tab's source, "She should be ashamed of herself."And she is. Berry phoned Page Six to explain how the joke actually originated with a Jewish assistant who made the "cousin" observation just before the taping. "I so didn't mean to offend anybody," she says. "It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize." You mean you're zayt moykhl?
