Eva Longoria has been named Woman of the Year by Maxim magazine. Why? I really have no idea. Let’s see if we can figure it out. Perhaps it was her voice-acting work for the Hulu cartoon Mother Up! she did in 2013? No, that can’t possibly be it. Her voice-acting work in Season 25 episode of The Simpsons called “The Kid is All Right?” Nah. Her guest star role on the quickly canceled NBC show Welcome to the Family? Surely not. Let’s go to Maxim’s Web site and see if they can shed some light on this.

She was the sexiest suburbanite in history on Desperate Housewives, and now she’s a big shot producer, a savvy businesswoman, and our 2014 Woman of the Year. Is there anything Eva Longoria can’t do? (Hint: The answer is no.)

Well that didn’t help much. How about her interview in the magazine?

Ah, she got her Master’s Degree in Chicano Studies from California State University in Northridge in May, she produced the show Devious Maids, she released a cookbook, and spoke at the Democratic National Convention. All nice, but Woman of the Year? Still seems like an odd choice.
