Minka Kelly Named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive

Minka Kelly, the sexy actress best known for her role in Friday Night Lights, has landed herself on the cover of Esquire magazine and named the sexiest woman alive! She takes the crown from Kate Beckinsale, who was named last year’s most attractive star by Esquire magazine.

Minka, who just turned 30 this summer and is dating Yankee superstar Derek Jeter, opened up her childhood hard times and her late mother had. She says, “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. So she would come home at like three, four o’clock in the morning and sometimes she would have a really great night, and she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we’d go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping.”

But Kelly made the best of her upbringing: “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.”
