The "Desperate Housewives" dame could be just two years away from her frightful forty, but that doesn't make Eva Longoria any less sexy! Ask men's magazine Maxim that has named her the "Woman of the Year".

Eva told Maxim, "It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover. I've had a beautiful relationship with Maxim over all these years … When someone sees the cover of this issue, they're going to say, '¡Que rico!' … Say it when something is really good."

Longoria added, "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."

"Back in high school I really was the chameleon, too. I got along with the honors math club, then I would go to cheerleading practice, and then I was a band geek as well."

While she may live up to her bombshell image pretty well in public, Longoria insists that she's more than just a pretty face. "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," says the star.
