Kerry Washington is not only easy on the eyes but she’s making history with her new show, Scandal. As Olivia Pope, Kerry is only the second African American woman ever to star in a network drama.

Dressed in brights, Ms. Kerry sat down with GlobalGrind’s Sharon Carpenter yesterday as she was preparing for her network debut.

Scandal, a Shonda Rimes production, is loosely based on real life scandal-fixer Judy Smith, who has worked with Monica Lewinsky and Michael Vick in their times of desperation. Kerry stars alongside Henry Ian Cusick and Columbus Short for what is sure to be everyone’s new guilty pleasure.
