Actress Eva Longoria was named Maxim magazine’s woman of the year, who was happy to receive the honor.

Although it has been over a year since Desperate Housewives ended, Longoria is looking to make a name for herself behind the camera. As Maxim notes, Longoria is now on the road to being a successful producer and businesswoman. She’s currently an executive producer on Lifetime’s Devious Maids.

“It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover,” Longoria told the magazine, notes People. “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.”

Meanwhile, Longoria has been showing off her body on social media, recently sharing a picture of herself in a really tiny bikini, reports E! News. “Anyone need a lifeguard?? (I'm wearing Manuelito's floatie),” she captioned the photo, referencing a friend’s son.

A couple of weeks ago, E! News reported that Longoria also had to deny a report that claimed she was going to star in three Televisa soap operas. “How can people make stuff up and print it? Not one word of this is true! Even has fake quotes from me,” she tweeted.
