Remember Sarah Michelle Gellar? The actress who rose to fame portraying Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been named 2008 Woman of the Year by Maxim. Check out her Maxim interview here.

Our readers have been asking us to get you on the cover for years. Why now?
Sarah: Lots of things. I'm 30, and I'm promoting a bunch of different kinds of movies. I like to shake things up every once in a while. It's good to leave people wanting more, but I don't want to leave them waiting too long or they'll lose interest. Besides, how could I not do a Maxim shoot when I have a movie coming out in which I play a porn star?

Exactly. In Southland Tales, you're a porn star who is trying to get her own reality show. It's quite a departure from Buffy.
Sarah: I ran the gamut in the films I made this year. When you think about who should play a porn star, don't I just pop into your mind? The character I play is sort of Arianna Huffington meets Jenna Jameson.
