Elisha Cuthbert covers the March issue of Maxim with the title of “TV’s Most Beautiful Woman.” She has accepted this honor with total grace (see below), but (and this is a bit embarrassing) I have to admit feeling a bit surprised since I didn’t even realize that Elisha was back on television. I strongly recall her for her role in “24,” but I guess I just didn’t realize she was on a current show. Also, I just took seven Advil about an hour ago and am still in a wee bit of pain (long, stupid story), so I’m a bit off my usual train of thought. What I do find interesting is that Elisha appears to be fully aware of the fact that her new show, “Happy Endings,” also stars a number of other very attractive women, and Elisha gushes about them in her interview. Here are some excerpts:
Boob tube beauty! Elisha Cuthbert has been named TV’s most beautiful woman by the editors of Maxim. Wearing a retro swimsuit on the magazine’s March cover, the “Happy Endings” star calls the honor “very flattering.”
“To think that one person could be the most beautiful when there’s Kaley Cuoco, Sofia Vergara, Zooey Deschanel? They’re all stunning,” says Cuthbert, who has appeared on Maxim’s cover three times before. “I’m not gonna fight anyone about it, though. I’ll accept it with grace. But being on a show with two other beautiful women [Casey Wilson and Eliza Coupe], this is gonna make going to work very uncomfortable. I don’t know, this might be a curse.”
In addition to her TV roles on “Happy Endings” and “24,” Cuthbert is perhaps best known for playing a porn star in the 2004 movie The Girl Next Door.
“To be honest, I think one reason guys liked that character so much is because I didn’t go fully nude. My character really could be the girl of every guy’s dreams, instead of having them see her naked and going, ‘Oh, that’s not my thing,'” Cuthbert, 30, says. “Remember Weird Science? Kelly LeBrock never got naked. She didn’t show you everything. I think that’s why it resonated with more men than it probably should have.”

Elisha definitely has a point by pointing out that she might be desirable despite (or perhaps in spite of) the fact that she didn’t go naked in The Girl Next Door. I almost always find it more attractive when people almost get naked (i.e., wear bras and/or underwear) than when they go full monty in the movies. Is that strange to admit? Hey, I like a good tease.
Now I am certainly (by any stretch) a television expert since I carefully pick and choose my weekly viewing material like a total d-bag. However, if I were to choose my pick for the most gorgeous woman on television today, I’d probably go with Natascha McElhone. I know she’s not widely known in the states, and she’s only on “Californication,” but trust me, she is a stunning woman. Also, Natalie Zea (“Justified,” “Californication,” and “Passions”) is not bad either. Man, I bet Sofia Vergara is really pissed about Maxim’s list this year.
