Better Than Ever: Halle is currently starring in the thriller “Perfect Stranger” opposite Bruce Willis. Once again, this year she was named one of People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People,” making her their All-Time Most Beautiful Woman, as she has now made their list twelve times, more nods than any other celeb. Her current beau, Gabriel Aubry, ain’t so hard to look at either. Not only is he a model (the picture-perfect couple met during a photo shoot for Versace), he is also ten years younger than her. On top of being one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, this Beautiful Person has been a spokesperson for Revlon since 1996 and recently appeared in an ad campaign for Versace.

Star Wattage
Her relationship seems to be going strong with Aubry, though she has recently said that she doesn’t plan on marrying ever again. This “Perfect Stranger” does see motherhood in her future, as well as a new feature film this fall, starring alongside Benicio Del Toro and David Duchovny. Based on her May 2007 Esquire cover photo alone, we’re thinking that 40 might have to be the new 20.
