Malibu- Emmanuelle Chriqui almost got a ticket for being too hot … even for Southern California.

“We were in a little park in Malibu. I’m topless, and this cop car pulls up,” Chriqui said of her sizzling shoot for GQ Magazine in its latest issue, out this week. “The police asked the photographer, ‘Could you make sure that her areolas aren’t showing?’ ”

The 30-year-old actress is, however, getting plenty of exposure. You might recognize Chriqui from the hit TV series, “Entourage” or the movie “On the Line,” which earned her a Teen Choice Award for Choice Liplock with ‘N SYNC’S Lance Bass. Chriqui also had two appearances in “The O.C.,” which allowed for her natural beauty to show.

In May 2006, Maxim Magazine named her No. 37 in its annual Hot 100 list, and in April 2008, FHM named her No. 6 in their 100 Sexiest Women list.

The smokin’ Canadian is set to play a Palestinian immigrant in the new Adam Sandler movie, “You Don’t Mess with The Zohan,” a comedy about a former Israeli assassin who fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist. Chriqui’s character runs a floundering hair salon in New York who hires Sandler to perform “special services” in the backroom.

Does that make Chriqui his pimp? Yes, she told GQ, but she assures audiences the flick isn’t about cheap laughs.

“It’s very West Side Story,” she said.
