Blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe is third, one place above Crazy in Love singer and Dreamgirls star Beyonce.

Pitt, Jennifer Aniston’s ex, is fifth followed by pneumatic videogame character Lara Croft – brought to life by Jolie in the Tomb Raider movies.

George Clooney, 45, is seventh and there is good news for pop princess Kylie Minogue, 38, following her split with Olivier Martinez – she is eighth.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp, 43, makes ninth place, and Scarlett Johansson, 22, is tenth.
