The Private Practice star said, “I was terrified, but I really wanted to do a naked cover. Right now, I feel really healthy, confident, and sexy. I’m enjoying my 40s and wanted to share that. Is it a mid-life crisis? I do drive a Porsche, so maybe it is!”

There’s a bit of debate here at the Screen Junkies office. I said, “Hey, look. That mean Grey’s Anatomy woman is naked. Looks good!” And Jame Gumb was not impressed. We’re currently not speaking, but he did have a good point. A celebrity is naked on a magazine cover just about every other week.  Sorry, Kate. I think you look fantastic, but you’re a bit late to the party. As the above covers will show.

Not to seem ungrateful though. This issue seems very helpful in our fight against arm jiggle.

Kate Walsh was one of the many hot doctors on Grey’s Anatomy until she got her own show, Private Practice, where she’s the main hot doctor. She also played Drew Carey’s girlfriend once, but that’s gross.

A word from Kate: “Do I give off a girl-on-girl vibe? Other chicks seem to love me!”

I say go with it. See what happens. If it doesn’t feel right your intuition is probably wrong and you should just continue.

Go with the flow of the pics after the jump.
