Shantel VanSanten, who will be in the CW’s new sci-fi show “The Messengers,” poses in swimsuits for the latest issue of Maxim Magazine. Rene and Radka took pictures of the blonde showing off in bikinis. Shantel talks about the new show in the interview. I portray an astronomer who witnesses an unusual object descend from the sky, she explains. When it hits, my heart stops for a moment—I die!—and when I come back to life, I have this special power. It turns out that there are five other people with gifts like mine, and we all have to save the world from the end of the world.
