Alyssa Milano has made the transition from teen queen to incredibly popular mature celebrity easily. To promote a new show, the actress hit the gym, went on a diet, and thus made possible her most sizzling photospread ever.

Alyssa is the cover girl of the latest issue of Maxim magazine, rocking a buttoned up plaid shirt which isn’t buttoned up at all.

In the pages of the magazine, she’s pictured outside on the beach in a swimsuit or indoors, rocking cutoffs and tiny tees that show off her toned figure.

Speaking with E! News on the set of the shoot, as the video below will confirm, Alyssa admits that she prepared for at least a couple of weeks for it.

Now that she’s 40 and a new mom (she and husband David Bugliari welcomed a son, Milo, 22 months ago), Alyssa can’t just show up for a photoshoot as revealing as this one and not look her best.

So, she admits that for the Maxim one she cut carbs from her diet two weeks beforehand and went to the gym daily to make sure she would be her most stunning self for the camera.

The result is nothing short of amazing, as the video clearly shows.

Speaking with the mag about her new show, the drama “Mistresses” for ABC, Alyssa also muses on her career, the role that launched her, and how she managed to stay relevant in an industry not exactly known for not being fickle.

She says she feels sorry for some of the young stars of today who have such a hard time with their careers because she was one of the few fortunate ones in her day.

“That was an era when TV child actors just didn't work after their show was over,” she recalls.

“I think Christina Applegate and I are the only two who maintained some sort of career path past the shows that launched us,” Alyssa says.

“But I have a great family, and I look at a lot of these kids who struggle in the industry and think they'd have struggled no matter what they did,” she continues.
