A lot of recognition were given to the sexiest woman alive every year. But, E! entertainment television has just named supermodel Karolina Kurkova the sexiest woman in the world.

Karolína Isela Kurková (born February 28, 1984) was born in Děčín, Czechoslovakia, to Josef Kurka, a Czech basketball player, and a Slovak mother. Karolína Kurková is a Czech model, best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. Mario Testino said of Kurková, "The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who could fit almost into any moment."[3] Designer Marc Jacobs said, "She has an angelic look with a dark side, she's sweet and fun but looks like she could be an evil bewitching child."[3] Vogue editor Anna Wintour called her the "next supermodel".

Here is the complete top 10 of E!'s Sexiest Women In The World:

1. Karolina Kurkova
2. Bar Rafaeli
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Gisele Bundchen
5. Scarlett Johansson
6. Adriana Lima
7. Heidi Klum
8. Penelope Cruz
9. Manuela Arcuri
10. Shakira

Kurkova will play the role of Cover Girl in Paramount's upcoming "G.I. Joe." Dubbed by E! as, "she of the mysterious belly button," much has been made of Kurkova's noticeably smooth - almost invisible - navel. According to the model's rep, Kurkova does not have a belly button, due to an abdominal operation as an infant.

Buzz over Kurkova's unique abdomen began to build recently, following a Victoria's Secret photo shoot in Miami, which featured the 24-year-old model in a bikini and sporting a seemingly absent navel - a departure from some of her shoots in the past, which have showed her with a navel. Kurkova's rep confirmed her lingerie and swimsuit photos are often altered to include an image of a navel - a practice that the rep said is typical in the industry when needed. Belly button or not, there's no denying Kurkova's sex appeal - and her success speaks for itself, as Forbes has ranked her as one of the world's highest-paid models. And while Kurkova has been dubbed sexy, she has her own idea of what sexy really means.

"A guy who's not afraid to cry or be vulnerable and show his softer side," she told AccessHollywood.com in a previous interview.

Australian actor Huge Jackman (40) has been voted as Sexiest Man Alive for 2008 by People magazine. He beat James Bond star Daniel Craig to the top spot, reported the Daily Mail.

Hugh Michael Jackman (born 12 October 1968) is an Australian actor of film, theater and television, known mostly for his roles in several major Hollywood films, including Van Helsing and X-Men.

Jackman also eclipsed Brad Pitt, Zac Efron and Daniel Craig for the number one spot.

Britishers who have made to the list are — Simon Cowell, race-car drive Lewis Hamilton, football star David Beckham and TV chef Gordon Ramsay. Jackman’s epic film “Australia” with actress Nicole Kidman was released recently.

Hollywood's best-paid power couple - Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles. Thanks to a monster year filled with music, movies, fashion and endorsement deals, Jay-Z and his new bride, Beyonce Knowles, collectively raked in $162 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008. The jaw-dropping sum garners them bragging rights atop our first annual ranking of Hollywood's Top-Earning Couples, a list that also includes A-list pairings Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, David and Victoria Beckham, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, among others.

Take Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. They hauled in some $85 million over the past year, making them No. 2 on the list. Though Jada's resume continues to grow, Will's the family breadwinner. He raked in $80 million in the year ending June 2008, thanks to another set of top-performing blockbusters: "I Am Legend," "The Pursuit of Happyness," and this past summer's "Hancock." Together the flicks banked $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office, making him Hollywood's most bankable star.

Jada pulled in $5 million during the same 12-month period, thanks to roles as an actress ("The Women"), producer ("The Human Contract"), and businesswoman (a stake in beauty line Carol's Daughter).

Third: David and Victoria Beckham. Conquering fans on both sides of the Atlantic, the power couple brought in $58 million over the year-long period.

Becks' share was $50 million, proving the much-covered move to America has paid off for the British soccer star. Though his Los Angeles Galaxy salary was $5.5 million, the sum more than doubled when his cut of the team's ticket, merchandise, and sponsorship revenues were factored in. He also pulled down a cool $35 million from lucrative endorsement deals with Motorola, Adidas, Coty and PepsiCo, among others.

His wife, better known by her pop-star moniker, Posh, generated another $8 million, thanks to her cut of a $23 million Spice Girls reunion tour and a slew of product lines, including sunglasses, perfume, couture clothing, and her DVB jeans line.

Not far behind are country sweethearts Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, who collectively brought in $35 million over the course of the year.

In addition to the big loot they made on their Soul-2-Soul concert tour, he earned millions from festivals and a double-platinum album, Let It Go. Hill recorded another album, The Hits, and the NFL Sunday Night Football theme song. Every time NBC plays the catchy tune, Hill sees a check.

Live-in lovers and tabloid staples Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who banked $34 million together, round out the top five.

Along with globe-trotting and parenting six, Jolie appeared on screen in the films "Beowulf" and "A Mighty Heart." During the same period, Pitt spent time both in front of the camera ("Oceans 13," "The Assassination of Jesse James") and behind it ("The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," "A Mighty Heart," and "Tree of Life").
