It took Ashley Greene one major scandal to realize it, but the Twilight Saga star doesn't need to get naked to look hot.

The actress covers the December issue of Maxim and will likely garner a new fan base as a result of the spread. She looks great in the magazine.

Beauty aside, what's next for Greene professionally? New Moon comes out on November 20; and Eclipse in June, 2010. Other than that?

"I want to hit up James Bond," she said. "That would be awesome.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with MTV, Greene was asked about her favorite scene in the Twilight sequel. She replied:

“[I love] the whole Cullen scene, when Bella gets a paper cut and Jasper goes crazy — you haven’t seen that side of him yet. The performances are great, and the whole dynamic is really great. That was one of my favorite scenes to watch.”

In closing, is Greene anything like the character she plays?

"I have become a lot more like Alice Cullen, because she is probably the most fashionable out of the Cullen clan, and I’ve recently become obsessed with fashion.”

That's a big step for an actress that once chose nudity over clothing. Way to go, Ash!
