Sophie Monk poses for the cover of MAXIM Australia’s February 2012 issue and talks about her upcoming show on her crazy life, and the paparazzi that stalk her and everyone wondering who this ‘nobody’ is in LA. As is usual, the photo shoot was photographed by the local Maxim team in LA and the issue also features 50 Great Australian Moments. Inside Sophie shares that chocolate is her guilty pleasure, she can’t stop eating it and that she had to kiss a guy on-set for Date Movie and his mouth tasted like vomit. So pick up your copy today on news stands. I live in the States so it is harder for me to get a copy I will try to get the scans on for you soon but if you live in Australia and could pick this up PLEASE email at admin@sophie-monk.net

And here is some of the interview she gave:

You’ve been in LA for ages now. Still liking it over there?
I’ve been here nearly seven years but I love Australia. If you go to LA for a holiday, it’s awesome. It reminds me of Movie World, where I used to work. But in terms of living here, everyone’s just trying to get ahead. Nobody’s here to settle or have a family. I’ve noticed that everyone drives around solo and it’s a very single town. I don’t think I know any couples.

So you’d return here to settle down?
Absolutely. I always look forward to coming home – I miss my Aussies so much. I get a lot of paparazzi attention in LA and I wouldn’t want that for my children. It’s not a healthy way to live. I can’t really have any privacy unless I’m in my house.

What’s the difference between LA dudes and Aussie blokes?
There’s no comparison. In LA the guys are very feminine – even more than I am. They get manicures and pedicures and will always be looking in the mirror. I’ll be ready to go in 10 minutes but it’ll take them an hour-and-a-half. It’s a vain town.
