Mila Kunis Replaces Rihanna As Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive

Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive: Barbadian born beauty Rihanna has given up her throne as Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive to actress Mila Kunis. The 29-year old actress is best known for her role on “That ’70s Show” and most recently in films like “Black Swan” and “Ted.”

On the November issue Kunis appears topless with black leather pants one more piece of clothing than Rihanna’s naked cover last year.

Despite the illustrious title and sexy cover and will likely serve as wallpaper for many young men, Kunis insists she doesn’t let the fame go to her head.

“What I do and who I am are two different things. And they always will be,” she said. “What happens with people is they lose sight of who they are, and they become either who they want to be or who they are perceived to be.”

She added, “I think that if I bought into the hype, I would lose all sight of who I am, and so much of who I am is what my parents went through and instilled in me. And I never want to lose that. Ever. Because I would be so disappointed if I didn’t make them proud.”

Kunis’ desire for privacy is prevalent in her daily decisions. The actress who is reportedly dating Ashton Kutcher revealed to the magazine that she has a routine for escaping the pesky paparazzi. She added that there’s a distinction between being a celebrity and a working actress.

“I don’t think I’m a celebrity. I’m a working actress. I think there’s a difference. Looking like this (dressed in shorts, t-shirt and very little makeup) not followed here, you and I can take a walk, two, three people might be like “Hey!” If Rihanna was sitting here, Rihanna would be: Rihanna!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
