Ever wondered who was the sexiest specimen on the planet? Well, according to a new poll, it's none other than Angelina Jolie.

The Tomb Raider actress has come top of a new poll compiled by Empire magazine which list the hottest celebrities in the world.

"Jolie seems to have been precision built to turn cinema audiences into drooling wrecks," says Empire.

"The pneumatic figure, the feline eyes, the lips that could have been stung by several hives of bees. Simply unimprovable."

Joining her on the chart is partner Brad Pitt (who apparently isn't quite as hot at number seven).

Speaking about the actor, Empire adds: "So empirically good-looking that you'd have to hate him if he wasn't clearly such a nice guy with it. The eyes, the smile, the rippling six-pack despite being the wrong side of 40 - he's the man men dream of being and women dream their man could be."
