Halle Berry graces last
week 's cover o f People.
For the seventh time, Halle Berry is on People magazine's annual
list o f the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” - but making it there

F riday, says she works out daily with a treadmill and weights, and maintains
a strict diet of chicken, fish, vegetables, brown rice and tabbouleh.
" I’m not obsessive, like I have to have the best butt or the best abs,
but I like the idea o f feeling strong and healthy,” says Berry, who co-
.
stars in the upcoming “X-Men" sequel. “ It’s important to feel good
about m yself physically. It's something I think about.”
Julia Roberts is on the "Most Beautiful" list fora record eighth
time. Also appearing this year are Ben Affleck and Jennifer
Lopez, twin teen stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, “American
Idol host Ryan Seacrest, singers Norah Jones and Usher, and
