Salma Hayek accepted the award for a “Decade of Hotness” at Spike TV’s “Guy’s Choice Awards” Sunday night, and her cleavage-inducing dress proved exactly why.
The 48-year-old wore a low-cut black dress, and later on in the evening said she originally thought the term “bombshell” meant something negative.

“I remember the first time, when I did ‘Desperado,’ my English was worse than now and I read the reviews that ‘Salma Hayek was a bombshell.’ And to me, this means that I was terrible, that I had bombed!” Hayek said.
“You think about it, that’s what it sounds like! Everyone told me, ‘No, no, it means you’re great, that you’re sexy!’ And [I was like], ‘That’s it? They didn’t talk about my acting?!’”

“Let me tell you, as the years go by, the ‘hotness’ acknowledgment becomes more and more precious to a woman.”
“When you start you’re like, ‘No, I want them to see me for my talent, and know me as an actress!’ Now, if they want to give me a Decade of Hotness [award], I’m like, ‘Bring it on!’ You really like to be [called] ‘hot’ after you’re 40.” (PHOTOS: Salma Hayek Went A Little Top Heavy At The Cannes Festival)
