Adam Levine as People's Sexiest Man AliveAdam Levine has been crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive.

The Maroon 5 frontman beat off stiff competition from the likes of Luther actor Idris Elba, singer Justin Timberlake and retired soccer star David Beckham to the prestigious title, as well as more unusual entries including chat show host Jimmy Fallon.

On Tuesday night's episode of The Voice, host Carson Daly announced Adam's big win to the studio audience, much to the singer's embarrassment. Carson was quick to take a dig at Adam's fellow coach Blake Shelton, joking that he missed out on the title this year, while Blake engulfed the "Payphone" hitmaker in a big hug and told him he is "beautiful for what's on the inside."

"As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table. I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool," Adam - who takes the title from 2012's winner Channing Tatum - told People magazine.

Anjelica Huston, photographed by Bob RichardsonAnjelica Huston tried to kill herself in "desperation" over her boyfriend's mood swings.

The 62-year-old actress met photographer Bob Richardson in 1969, when she was 18 and he was 42, and they had a tumultuous romance, made more difficult by the fact he was suffering from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In her autobiography, A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London and New York, Anjelica writes, "I never felt so fragile or vulnerable as when Bob became demonic and flew into a rage, or worse, when afterward he retreated into his shell. One morning, four days into one of these ordeals, I walked into the bathroom at the Chelsea [Hotel] and, in desperation, drew a razor blade across my left wrist. I ran back into the bedroom, blood spurting from the vein, crying to him, 'Will this make you love me?'"

In her book, Anjelica also tells of how she caught the eye of actor Marlon Brando when she was just 16 and the then-53-year-old screen legend had been invited by her father, director John Huston, to their family estate in Ireland. "I went up to the Big House one morning and found a tanned, even-featured man in a maroon velour sweatshirt standing on the upstairs landing, talking to Dad, who introduced me to him. Marlon smiled and his lips curled. He spoke through his nose. That afternoon in the study, Marlon gave me a tortoise shell ring from Tahiti, inlaid with silver and asked me if I'd like to visit him there someday," she wrote.
