Jessica Szohr is hot. She made the People Magazine's list of <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/gallery/0,,20360857_20364406,00.html#20776532" target="_blank">100 Most Beautiful People in the World in 2010</a>, and she’s been sizzling it up on <em>Gossip Girl</em> since 2007. When SoBe approached Jessica to do a skinsuit photo shoot to promote the launch of SoBe Lifewater with electrolytes, she jumped at the chance. When MANjr got asked to interview this stunning starlet, we jumped at the chance, too.

Szohr traveled to Costa Rica for the SoBe Lifewater skinsuit photo shoot. Each skinsuit she wore required  11-plus hours or body paint application. She posed in the juggle sporting nothing but body paint inspired by the new SoBe Lifewater bottle, Strawberry Kiwi Lemonade with electrolytes

After that, she visited the urban jungle of San Jose wearing a skinsuit inspired by another new electrolyte-packed flavor, Macintosh Apple Cherry.

I had chance to speak with Jessica about the shoot, the body paint application, Gossip Girl, Piranha 3D  and her upcoming films. I also got to ask her about appearing on Freaks and Geeks, which didn’t actually happen. I scored it as an IMDB fail, but the credit for the misinformation actually goes to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Szohr" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> (proving once again that you can’t always believe everything that you web).  Here’s the interview:
