Lombardo, who is of Italian and Irish descent, is originally from Glastonbury, Connecticut. In 2004, she won the inaugural Sports Illustrated "Fresh Face" contest and appeared in the company’s annual Swimsuit Issue the following year, after moving to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. Her other credits include Suzuki Forenza and T-Mobile commercials and roles in Entourage and Californication and the internet series Quarterlife and Girltrash!.
She resides in Los Angeles, and is a host on the cable network Current TV. In her spare time, Lombardo enjoys playing soccer with a coed team. She is an athlete, competing in softball, volleyball, and soccer in high school and in local organizations.
There is no word whether her sports career was more competitive than the movies she had roles in, Click and All In, at the box office. Her most memorable performance came in a Suzuki Forenza commercial where she changes from her work clothes into athletic wear while riding in a full elevator, appearing to be naked in front of people without a care, because guys don’t remember actresses as well when they are fully dressed. She then gets into a Suzuki driven by a friend, with the two of them headed out to do some biking together, sadly clothed.

She has recently starred in HBO’s Entourage as Billy Walsh’s girlfriend and the Showtime series Californication where she played a hippy pothead that has sex with David Duchovny’s character, robs him, and then returns the stuff a few hours later in order to have sex with him again. There has been no confirmation to the many attempts to find out if she was typecast in the role. She also appears on the internet series Quarterlife and resides in Los Angeles. On Entourage she plays seems to never wear pants. Which is nice.
