Which is just one of the reasons why magazines compete to put the highest-paid woman on series TV on their covers. Naturally Cosmopolitan , the magazine that celebrates female sexiness, would be especially keen. Vergara practically shimmies on the cover of the June issue, on newsstands May 7.
Inside , "America's sexiest sweetheart," as Cosmo calls her, is as ebullient as ever, talking about setting a wedding date, making babies, making money, what she wears to bed and how it's hard to dress stylishly when you're carrying around super-size breasts. But those size 32Fs that's what she says notwithstanding, the Colombian-born Vergara says she's not just a sex gatito. Vergara both embodies and counters stereotypes of Latinas.
She's fiery funny, but she's also a natural blond who had to dye her hair brown to play a Latina in the USA. She didn't become famous among non-Hispanic Americans until getting the role of Gloria in the award-winning Modern Family. But she knew she had made it years earlier when the valets at clubs and restaurants in Los Angeles rushed to get her car first. I'm greedy. I want to take advantage of my 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, she's got a super-size engagement ring. On baby plans: She's frozen her eggs and likely will use a surrogate because she's 40, she already has an adult son, she had thyroid cancer and radiation, and she's working all the time. On bedtime wear: She's had to upgrade to Japanese silk robes. On the downside of big breasts: "I have learned that not everything looks good on me because of my boobs," she laments. I can't wear something backless, because what holds them up?
On her future: "I know I'm not going to get any more shows like Modern Family. If it ends in five years, it would be great to do movies and focus on things like my Kmart line. Maybe have a kid. But I am going to be working my whole life. I love making money. I really love it!
