’Housewives’ Star Longoria Tops Sexy Survey

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Okay, so there’s no Emmy nomination for Eva Longoria’s sex kitten role on "Desperate Housewives," but at least she’s been recognized for how hot she is.

The 30-year-old beauty and former Miss Corpus Christi was voted the sexiest female TV star of all time. Yup, forget about Heather Locklear, Farrah Fawcett or any of the other sirens in TV history. Longoria, who only really rose to fame in the past year, apparently trumps them all.

The petite starlet, who plays adulteress Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC show, received the honor courtesy of a poll conducted by British supermarket Sainsbury’s, no doubt the arbiter of sex appeal and savings. Despite the "all-time" claim, the actresses landing on the list starred in shows that only hit the airwaves in the past decade or so. At No. 2 on the list is Jennifer Aniston of "Friends" fame who made "the Rachel" the It hairdo of the ’90s.

Slinking into third place is Kim Cattrall playing the gleefully promiscuous Samantha on HBO’s "Sex and the City." Following on her stiletto heels is Pamela Anderson who is sadly not honored for her "Stacked" performance but for her repertoire of "Baywatch" rescues.

Rounding out the Top 5 is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The honor confirms that Longoria’s topping the Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list in May was no fluke. ABC’s "Housewives" has earned 15 Emmy nominations, including one for best comedy. Longoria’s co-stars Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman are also nominated for best lead actress in a comedy.
