Rihanna 23, makes Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive and appears naked on the cover of the magazine with some ill-placed algae or spinach or something. 

Within the magazine she talks about Chris Brown and how she's happy for him and that her anger toward him was taking up too much of her energy:

"It was too much anger," "I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his career."

I agree with not wasting anger on a douchebag but to be 'really excited' for someone like that, I don't know about that. Wish them well and don't give it another thought seems a bit more appropriate. Whatever.

"It's incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know?" Rihanna said. "I really like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff. I've always been a fan." I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have,"

And even though Esquire (and probably tons of people) think she's the sexiest woman alive, she says she doesn't necessarily feel that way:

"At the end of a concert, I don't feel like I've been this sexy thing," "Really, I don't even think about it."

That's odd. Even while she's touching herself on stage she doesn't think about it?

Rihanna also drinks before a show to calm her nerves and she sometimes is out in the audience during the opening act. Why not, she rides the subway to her concerts:

"I have to have it. I take it very seriously, so there is a level of anxiety, always. I overthink everything when it comes to my job. The drink calms my nerves. I sip it while I watch the opening act from my dressing room. Sometimes I go out into the audience. I put on a really big hoodie and sneak out there."

This issue of RiRi being Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive is available on newsstands October 16.
