Gracing the cover of the October issue of GQ, Olivia is featured in a gorgeous photoshoot by Peggy Sirota. Below are the outtakes from the shoot as well as the insightful article which I’m sure you’ll all enjoy! The video is HERE.

Olivia Wilde and i are going drinking. Yeah, that’s my plan. We’re going to the grungiest, scuzziest sticky-floor dive we can find, and we’re going to start with shots of Jäger, followed by tequila, some Jack, and three fingers of scotch. We’re going to shoot sloppy pool and play Galaga and persuade two burly Hells Angels on their Harleys to drive us to an In-N-Out Burger, where I’ll order the Double-Double and Olivia, a vegetarian, will have a veggie burger and maybe a few fries, because, you know, she’s drunk, and those fries are amazing. Then we’ll climb into the hills and scale the famous hollywood sign, where we’ll sit until sunrise on opposite sides of the giant H, and Olivia will grandly recall her adventures in show business before she throws up, as I hold her flowing brown hair.

Reality: Olivia Wilde and I are going to a…wine bar. This is the plan I received via e-mail a few hours ago. A wine bar called the Otheroom on bougie-crunchy Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California, not far from the famous boardwalk with the perma-tanned Rollerbladers and the medical-marijuana club that slowly scoops cannabis gelato. When I walk in, Wilde is sitting alone at a window table with a glass of Austrian white and Jitterbug Perfume, a Tom Robbins paperback. I go to the bar, choke, and order a rosé. I may as well order an ascot and a dress. There will be no Hells Angels Harley rides tonight.

But it’s fine, it’s cool, it’s great. This is Wilde’s town, her home court, her vibe. A self-confessed hippie, she lives not far from here, in a renovated concrete-and-steel loft, with a pair of dogs named Paco and Lola. Unpretentious Venice is pretty much the only city she’s lived in since moving from Washington, D.C., seven years ago, an 18-year-old prepster delaying her freshman year at college for a shot at Hollywood. It’s not a place for showbiz jackholes, which is one of the reasons Wilde adores it. It is not where you come to get photographed in your Juicy sweats and Gucci shades ambling out of Pinkberry frozen yogurt. In Venice, they protested the Pinkberry’s opening.

Lloyd Grove at the Daily Beast is the lucky guy who got to ask all kinds of questions of Olivia Wilde, newly crowned Maxim hottie.

The dual Irish-American citizen and “House” star, 25, recently topped the mag’s Hot 100 list.

Q: What is your definition of “hotness,” and just how hot are you?

A: “Hot” has become a euphemism for all things positive, making it generally acceptable to use to describe everything from a jalapeño to a drum solo. It’s sort of a useful word.

We don’t have to think of appropriate adjectives for people, places, performances, tacos or objects anymore, as they all fit snugly under the glorious umbrella of “hotness.” So I don’t know how hot I am, but I’m honored to be considered as warmer than the average taco.

Q: What’s your hotness regimen?

A: Fourteen tablespoons cayenne pepper in my very hot coffee each morning.

Q: How did you manage to beat out Angelina Jolie (26), Beyoncé (14), Jessica Alba (34) and Michelle Obama (93)? No false modesty, please.

A: Michelle will always be No. 1 on my list. And as for those other goddesses of hotness, I think they have their own list, up on the next level, called Hotter-Than-the-Earth’s-Core.

1. Olivia Wilde
We may not know a McDreamy from a McNugget, but when it comes to TV doctors, there is only one who makes our body temperature rise. The pulse-quickening internist played by Olivia Wilde on House, M.D. is named Thirteen (which we presume is out of 10) and has a terminal illness that causes her to dabble in drugs and casual sex. (That’s how we want to go!) But we were drooling over this N.Y.C. native long before she was injected into Fox’s hit medical drama. Roles on small-screen faves The Black Donnellys and The O.C. introduced Olivia to the world, but it’s her prehistoric part in this month’s Year One that will put her on top of it. As the object of Cro-Magnon lust in the Judd Apatow-produced, Harold Ramis-directed, Jack Black-starring comedy, Olivia will surely knock moviegoers back to the Stone Age. Ugh!

Very deserving in my opinion!

Olivia Wilde’s perspective on television fits in perfectly with her current project, HOUSE. “It should always be complicated or else it’s not worth watching.” It’s that very attitude that has helped her play the role of “Thirteen”, a member of Dr. House’s (Hugh Laurie) crack medical staff, so convincingly. As fans of HOUSE know, Thirteen, as she is known on the show, has been battling Huntington’s disease. Her condition has led her to engage in some risky behavior such as drug use and some extremely casual sex.

But that’s not all on her plate. TRON 2.0 is set to release in 2011 (that’s the long-awaited sequel to Walt Disney’s groundbreaking 1980’s classic), and Olivia Wilde is right in the thick of it. iF Magazine had a chance to talk with Wilde about her role on HOUSE, her take on acting, and even a little bit about TRON 2.0.

iFMAGAZINE: You play “thirteen” on HOUSE. For fans out there who don’t know, what’s her real name?

OLIVIA WILDE: Her real name is Remy Hadley.

iF: And she suffers from Huntington’s disease. What it like playing a terminally ill character?

WILDE:Well none of her symptoms have kicked in yet, so at this point she just had the diagnosis. She knows she carries the gene, and what that means is eventually she will develop the disease. At this point, she suffers from slight nerve degeneration but she seems perfectly normal. She probably has eight to nine years to live.

iF: Were you personally saddened to hear that your character carries a fatal disease?

WILDE: I think actors are really sadistic and we love the idea of playing someone very tragic, so I was really honored when I knew they trusted me with this storyline that complex and heavy. So no, it’s so sick that I wasn’t bummed out. I was really excited because it’s an honor to be able to play someone going through something so intense, and it’s interesting for an actor. I just feel terrible for everyone who actually has to live it.

iF: Thirteen is developing a relationship with Omar Epps’ character, Dr. Foreman. How do you see that evolving?

WILDE: I don’t know. I can’t read minds, but so far it’s an interesting collision of two very different characters. It brings out a side of both of them that we’ve never seen before.

iF: How would you like to see it pan out?

WILDE: I like it. I think it’s an interesting relationship. But I don’t think anything in TV is interesting if it’s easy. It should always be complicated or else it’s not worth watching. As long as they keep it complex and realistic I think it’ll be interesting.

iF: Switching gears here, you are starring in TRON 2.0. Is that a remake? A sequel?

WILDE: It’s not a remake. It’s a sequel. It’s the longest time that’s ever elapsed between an original movie and a sequel. It does star some of the original cast, Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner.

iF: What’s it like working with them?

WILDE: We haven’t started working yet. We’ve all met and gotten excited together, but we haven’t started shooting it.
