Eva Longoria is Maxim Magazine’s Woman of the Year

"Maxim" magazine has named Eva Longoria their Woman of the Year.

The 38-year-old said: "It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover." But she also tries to downplay her sexiness, "One thing people are usually surprised about when they get to know me is how domestic I am. So when you see the sexy 'Maxim' cover and then you put it against me in an apron with flour in my hair, it takes a moment to reconcile that image."

The former Desperate Housewives star actually had to reschedule her "Maxim" interview because she was getting her masters in Chicano Studies from California State University. She says, quote, "I was like, 'My brain can't jump that fast from a 'Maxim' interview to a thesis!'"
