With celebrity ambassadors such as George Clooney, Americans are the best-looking people in the world, according to a survey of more than 5000 globe-trotting Brits.

Brazil hopped into second place in the poll, while Spain – homeland to Penelope Cruz – ranked third and Australia, launchpad of Hugh Jackman, Miranda Kerr and Russell Crowe, was fourth.

”America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet,” said a spokeswoman for Onepoll.com. “The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America’s image as a hotbed of good-looking people. But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.

”England’s talent only got them into seventh place and despite Gerard Butler waving the flag for Scotland, they only just beat the Germans. But in fairness, when you think of good-looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits. If you’re looking for some fun in the sun, you now know where to head on holiday.”

Hollywood couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hit back at rumours they have split – by attending an awards ceremony together.

The pair proved they are still very much a couple by showing up for the Director’s Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles.

They declined to be photographed together on the red carpet when they arrived but according to several reports they were seen being “extremely affectionate” with each other during the awards show.

They sat next to each other at the table and were spotted laughing and whispering to each other.

An onlooker at the Awards said the couple were incredibly affectionate throughout the four-hour event.

The guest told People magazine: “They looked very giggly. They look like they are having a fun time. It’s definitely a date.

“They were extremely affectionate.”

Pitt had been invited to the ceremony to present his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino with a plaque for being nominated for the Outstanding Directional Achievement in Feature Film, which was actually won by James Cameron’s ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow for the movie The Hurt Locker.

This was Brad and Angelina’s first public outing since it was reported they had split and had consulted lawyers over custody of their six children and dividing their £205million ($327million) fortune.

The report was immediately slammed as false by sources close to the couple but the DGA Awards was the first time they had stepped out to end the speculation themselves.

Movie superstar Brad Pitt was noticeably absent as his film Inglourious Basterds won at the SAG Awards amid reports he is splitting up with Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood hunk missed out on the celebrations as his co-stars in the hit war film picked up the award for Outstanding Cast of a Motion Picture on Saturday night.

It came as a UK tabloid reported Pitt and Jolie have seen divorce lawyers and signed a £205 million split deal.

The world’s most famous couple are said to have secretly signed legal papers agreeing to divide their huge fortune and share their six children.

Pitt was in LA for the Hope For Haiti Now telethon on Friday night – but there was no sign of him at the SAG Awards, which he has attended with Jolie in the past.

Director Quentin Tarantino and other cast members including Eli Roth, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz were present to receive the award from Pitt’s close pal George Clooney.

No explanation was given for Pitt’s absence in the live televised show.

The UK tabloid reports the Brangelina couple will announce their separation soon to end months of speculation their five-year relationship is on the rocks.

They are said to have started planning a split in December, when they reportedly visited a top LA divorce firm.

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are hoping to keep a ‘low profile’ while shooting new movie The Tourist in Venice.

The Hollywood stars will arrive in the Italian city next month to film with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck and producer Graham King.

King said he wanted disruption to residents kept to a minimum during shooting but it could prove difficult.

He told UK newspaper the Daily Mail: “We’re going to try to keep a low profile, but that might be difficult with two of the world’s biggest stars making a film together.

“And if Brad comes too, the three of them will become a tourist attraction in their own right.”

Johnny Depp has topped GQ’s 25 Most Stylish Men in the World list, beating David Beckham, Russell Brand, Pete Doherty and five other Brits to the title.

The 46-year-old actor – who appears on the front cover of the February issue – was praised for de-mystifying “the icon of eccentric cool”.

“Johnny Depp’s a unicorn – a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric,” says Simon Doonan, the creative director of US store Barney’s.

UK-born Doonan adds: “He doesn’t shy away from colour. He’s always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn’t matter if Johnny Depp’s lying in a ditch – he’s always going to look incredible.”

Russell Brand, 34, is one of eight Brits celebrated in the US edition of GQ.

He joins David Beckham, actors Jude Law, Robert Pattinson and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Rockers Pete Doherty, former Clash bassist Paul Simonon and Talking Heads frontman David Byrne make it eight.

US talent such as rappers Andre Benjamin, Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z also made the list along with Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt and American football player Tom Brady.

Angelina Jolie believes that fidelity is over-rated.

“Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other. I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship,” she said.

The comments come after months of reports that the couple was on the outs. They have been seen in recent weeks, however, presenting a strong, united front.

She continued: “It’s worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards.”

The couple keeps a string of international residences and a flock of multi-national children that number six. She admitted: “The sparks fly at home if the nice Brad fails to see that he’s wrong and reacts in a defiant way. Then I can get so angry that I tear his shirt.

“We’re not violent enough for these things, and we consider our six children.”

Of the children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, four, Shiloh, three, and twins Knox and Vivienne, one, the last three are the couple’s biological kids.

Johnny Depp is the Sexiest Man Alive.

The Pirates of The Caribbean star landed the annual title from People magazine – for the second time in his life.

Johnny, 46, nudged out previous winner Hugh Jackman to the award. He also won in 2003.

Kate Coyne, senior editor at People, said that Depp has achieved an almost “iconic status in terms of sexiness”.

She told a US TV show: “Johnny Depp is someone who was sexy 10 years ago. He’ll be sexy 10 years from now. He’s someone who appeals to multiple generations of women.”

Depp joins other double-winners Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Richard Gere.

Superstars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have made the top 10 of Vanity Fair’s Establishment List.

The famous couple feature at number eight in the Vanity Fair New Establishment List, which names some of the most influential people in society and pop culture.

Pitt, 45, and Jolie, 34, are part of a 100-long list, which also features stars such as Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Oprah and global media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Vanity Fair states: “The tabloid-haunted, globe-trotting couple reminded us that they both can really act with Pitt’s Oscar-nominated performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Jolie’s in Clint Eastwood’s Changeling.

“The couple’s foundation donated $1 million to the United Nations to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees from violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will rent a sprawling country estate in New York owned by Rupert Murdoch, it was reported.

The Rosehearty estate is located on Centre Island, and has been put back on the market for $12.8 million by Murdoch and his wife Wendi Deng.

Rosehearty is a traditional Federal-style family home built in 1885 that has 11 bedrooms and sits on a sunny incline. Its lawns roll down into Oyster Bay Harbor.

Numerous sightings of the couple were reported around the area earlier this year. But Centre Island Mayor Jack Williams instilled calm into the frenzy. “I haven’t seen them and as far as I know none of our police officers have seen them.”
