Gossip

Deanna Russo, a former star on The Young and the Restless, now plays a major role on the remake of Knight Rider and... we just lost our train of thought.

Sorry, but this picture of the actress just came across our desk. Thank you, Maxim!

As for her role on the new show, Russo told the magazine:

"My character is known for her kicks and excellent marksmanship. If the attacker is far away, I’ll shoot him down, and if he’s close, I’ll kick him to the ground. In other words, she’s not just the good-looking girl in the corner who cries and doesn’t know how to defend herself. I’m gonna pick a fight with the boys. I’ve been learning a mix of everything from karate to kick boxing to doble olisi."

We're officially fans of Knight Rider. Any questions why?

Housewives might know Deanna Russo from The Young and the Restless.

But we assume Playboy has named this actress its December 2007 Babe of the Month for her role in a popular Axe body spray commercial instead.

In the ad, Deanna plays a girl driven by the product's potent scent to rip her boyfriend's father's clothes off; and, in an act Mary Carey would admire, she goes in for the kill by verbalizing a bow chicka wow wow.

"I was in a drugstore recently, and this couple was looking at Axe products," Russo said. "As I walked by I gave them a bow chicka wow wow. They were not amused."

But we certainly are. This sense of humor would make Holly Madison and other Playboy Bunnies proud.

Aside from acring, Deanna has ventured into modeling, but she generally doesn't do swimwear.

"Most girls you see in bikinis have square-crotch," she said. "When they put their feet together, there's air between their legs. I was born with thighs; it's the Italian curse."
