Casey Carlson received a golden ticket to Hollywood after her American Idol audition.
This Minneapolis native impressed judges on the show's eighth season. She's 20 years old, refers to herself as a "bubble tea maker" when asked her profession and sang “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton during her audition in Kansas City.
Carlson made the semifinal round of 36 on the show. We're proud of her for the achievement.
Two American Idol contestants, two contrasting bikini babes.
Katrina Darrell made headlines during the season eight premiere by auditioning in a bathing suit, getting into a fight with Kara DioGuardi and trying to kiss Ryan Seacrest. We enjoyed her antics, don't get us wrong.
Meanwhile, Casey Carlson received a golden ticket to Hollywood last night off the basis of her vocal talents, as her rendition of Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" received unanimous praise from the judges.
Turns out Carlson also has a bikini-baring past, but it isn't a self-promoting one: a couple years ago, Casey posed for a calendar sponsored by Campus Girls USA. The proceeds from its sales went toward breast cancer awareness.

Ivanka Trump with sexy bra. It's not hard to see why Ivanka Trump had a successful career as a model. She can look as glamorous as any model working today and transform herself into a serious (and sexy) looking professional with ease. While her smoldering eyes and luscious lips are her finest features above the neck, her long killer legs are two of the most magnificent wonders we've ever laid eyes on. Stuff magazine made her Ms. March 2007 in their pinup calendar, but we'd be happy to see her hanging on our wall for longer than just 31 days.

Heidi Klum definitely raises the temperature in any room she enters. Though her perky personality adds a quirk to her sex appeal, it doesn't stop her from being one of the sexiest women in the world.
Just watching her confident strut and her magnificent hips sway as she walks down the runway in Victoria's Secret lingerie elicits X-rated thoughts. Although Heidi Klum is a runway model, she doesn't have a twiggy, anorexic figure; rather, she has voluptuous curves and lines in all the right places. Heidi Klum's piercing hazel eyes are all business when she's on the runway, but when she's working the talk-show circuit, they become warm and inviting.
Biography
Heidi Klum was born on June 1, 1973, in Bergische Gladbach, a small city in Cologne, Germany. In 1991, while she was still in high school and doing well in mathematics and art, Heidi was encouraged by her friend Karin to participate in a modeling competition. Although Heidi was reluctant at first, she finally gave in.
heidi klum is model '92
Heidi Klum was discovered when she participated in the Model '92 competition, organized by Petra magazine and a New York modeling agency. The competition received 250,000 resumes from girls wishing to participate in the grueling selection process. As the winner of the Model '92 competition, Heidi appeared in the Petrol catalog and was offered a three-year modeling contract with Metropolitan worth $300,000. However, she passed on the offer in order to finish high school.
Less than a year later, she was studying to be a fashion designer when she decided to drop it to pursue a modeling career. After a couple of modeling gigs in Paris and Milan, Heidi Klum crossed the Atlantic to come to the U.S. in 1993, but not before she obtained two things: a lawyer and worldwide insurance. She first landed on our shores in Miami, but she soon made the wise decision to relocate to the highly competitive Big Apple.
heidi klum is a victoria's secret angel
With patience and effort, the work offers started to pour in for Heidi Klum. She appeared in many print advertisements, including for Bonne Bell (which Denise Richards also modeled for), Finesse, Gerry Weber, Givenchy's Amarige, and INC. In 1996, Heidi Klum founded Heidi Klum GmbH, helped design the firm's trademarked logo and secured the copyright to her name.
By 1997, Heidi was snatched from regular model status and thrown into the supermodel ranks of Tyra Banks, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour. That year marked Heidi's first runway walk and the beginning of a long relationship with Victoria's Secret.
Speaking of relationships, Heidi Klum also married her first husband, hairstylist Ric Pipino, in 1997. The couple divorced in 2002 and Heidi hit the dating scene. She was romantically linked to Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, Renault's Formula One owner Flavio Briatore, with whom she had her first child in 2004, and Philip Zevenbergen. In 2005, she happily settled down with Grammy-winning British soul singer Seal. The couple has produced two sons, Henry and Johan, and daughter, Lou.

While Heidi Klum appeared on the covers of such magazines as Bride's, Cosmopolitan, Self, Glamour, and Mademoiselle, none could live up to the recognition Heidi Klum received as 1998's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, an honor that models Vendela, Elle MacphersonSI
Heidi Klum's newfound superstardom allowed her to launch her very own swimsuit calendar in 2000. The inaugural calendar was shot on location in St. Barts by renowned photographer Antoine Verglas. A year later, People magazine finally recognized Heidi as one of the world's 50 Most Beautiful People. Heidi Klum was the first German model to take the cover and she maintained a mutually beneficial relationship with the publication for years.

Who's a better authority on fashion and perfume than a model? There's no doubt that Heidi realized that models have an expiration date -- though hers is far from reached -- which would explain the rationale behind her desire to break into the worlds of acting and art. She has also used her good business sense to launch a clothing line, a swimsuit line, perfume, jewelry, and shoes.
As an actress, Heidi's parts have been relatively small and she often appears as herself. Nonetheless, she's a welcome addition to any screen and has appeared in such television shows as Spin City, CSI: Miami and Sex and the City, in which she shared the runway with Sarah Jessica Parker. She can also been seen in the films 54 (1998), Blow Dry (2001),The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004), Ella Enchanted (2004), and The Devil Wears Prada (2006).
heidi klum is an elite model
Heidi Klum is well-known for her down-to-earth personality and her quirky sense of humor (she yodeled on The Late Show with David Letterman and performed a pregnant dance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show), but her wholesome family values may surprise some. She has listed quality time with her family as her greatest hobby, among her many other interests, such as jazz and ballet dancing, traveling, painting, skiing, and listening to music. Her favorite musical artists include James Brown, Moby, Dido, U2, and Nikki Costa. We have one question: Where's Seal on that list?
Heidi Klum is signed with Elite Model Management, which is or has been home to Alessandra Ambrosio, Gisele Bundchen and Claudia Schiffer, and she continues to model. Although Heidi Klum has achieved a powerful name in the industry, she is still subject to contractual obligations, such as being forbidden to alter her image. Her marriage was considered a breach of contract, as was the birth of her third child. As a result of her $2.5 million contract with Victoria's Secret, Heidi was forced to lose her pregnancy weight and return to model form 34 days after giving birth. She succeeded and participated in a fashion shoot.
heidi klum's project runway
Since 2004, Heidi Klum has enjoyed enormous success with her reality television series Project Runway. Heidi serves three roles on the show: producer, lovely hostess and judge. Contestants with hopes of becoming fashion designers vie for a chance to prove their skills, and Heidi Klum wields the power to make their dreams come true or crush them into oblivion.

Reon Kadena(かでなれおん,Kadena Reon?) (born February 19, 1986), also known as Kadena Leon or Minamo Kusano, is a Japanese model and actress. Kadena is a female Japanese idol whose photobooks and films largely feature her in revealing costumes, underwear and bikinis. She previously did nude photographs, but quit after garnering more attention. She’s appeared on numerous late night comedy skits and TV commercials. Her self-promotional DVD and gravure idol book sales have been phenomenal.
Naturally petite, Reon Kadena weighs a mere 95 lbs and is 5′5" tall, but still remains extremely voluptuous with her 35C-23-34 measurements. Her bubbly personality and cuteness paired with her sexy body has made her one of the most searched for models on the Internet. I’m sure you’ll quickly see why.
“Sexy” barely begins to describe Kim Kardashian’s mouthwatering appeal. After all, this voluptuous beauty has been blessed with more tantalizing curves than a backcountry road. It’s hardly surprising that Kim considers Jennifer Lopez to be her personal style icon. “I think she was never afraid to show off her curves and inspired me to do the same,” she says. Of course, having a big bosom isn’t always easy. “I can’t live without a great bra!” she insists. “I need the support!”

Kim Kardashian has gained fame by association. The daughter of O.J. Simpson’s trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian, she first made a name for herself as one of Paris Hilton’s premiere party pals. Internet surfers may recognize her as the reluctant leading lady in Kim Kardashian Superstar, her leaked-out, homemade sex tape. She and her famous family have also been the stars of their own TV series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which debuted in October 2007.
Kimberly Kathleen Kardashian was born October 21, 1980, in Los Angeles, California. The daughter of O.J. Simpson’s trial lawyer, Robert Kardashian, she and her siblings grew up in a world of immense privilege. They attended the best schools, they ate at the finest restaurants and they wore the latest designer fashions. They also mingled with some of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, and Kim soon developed an intimate bond with fellow celebutant Paris Hilton, whom she befriended in L.A.’s notorious party scene. Although Paris may have helped to raise Kim Kardashian’s public profile, the Hilton heiress is far from the only A-lister in Kim’s Rolodex. Over the past five years, Kim Kardashian has also been romantically linked with pop star Nick Lachey, rapper The Game, actor Nick Cannon, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and R&B producer Damon Thomas, to whom she was married from 2000 until 2004. However, it has been her relationship with ex-boyfriend Ray J, an R&B artist, that has attracted the most attention.
Kim Kardashian's sex tape
The pair’s infamous coupling went under the microscope when the tabloid press began reporting that one of their private sex tapes had been leaked. Although Kim Kardashian at first denied the video’s existence, the tape’s validity was later confirmed when it was sold to porn purveyor Vivid Video for the lofty sum of $1 million.
Although some suspect that Kim Kardashian may have been responsible for leaking the video herself, she remained steadfast that she has been uninvolved in its sale and distribution. She also made it abundantly clear that she didn’t suspect her ex-boyfriend was involved.
Kim Kardashian owns dash
In addition to her burgeoning “film” career, Kim is also a part-owner of Dash, a Calabasas, California, clothing store, which she operates with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe. “We all have very different styles, so it’s a collaboration of all of our tastes put together!” she explains.

Kim Kardashian is the star of her family's reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which premiered in October 2007. The babe also bared all in the December 2007 issue of Playboy. So, if you missed the illicit sex tape, you can't miss seeing this voluptuous vixen sprawled out in the magazine.

OK, so she isn't a singer, actress and calling her a model would be a bit of a stretch. But you must admire a woman who can gain all that notoriety by simply being herself. We know you understand -- this is why she was voted into the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008.
"Sexy" is a term that seems embarrassingly inadequate when describing Joanna. Simply put: The 5'7" stunner has the kind of body that, in the words of Philip Marlowe, "could make a bishop kick a hole through a stained glass window." Part of it is her perfect 32-24-32 measurements, but that's only the start. Joanna's true appeal comes from her alluring gaze and her unshakable confidence. As natural as Joanna's look may appear, it's actually the result of hours of hard work and dedication. In addition to eating well she's also a regular at her local gym. "I go at least three or four times a week and take hour classes like kick boxing, step class, core training, yoga, and Pilates," she says. "I like classes that not only work all your body parts, but are fun. I also love to take my dogs hiking."
Joanna krupa becomes a model In addition to keeping in touch with her roots, Joanna also followed her showbiz aspirations, keeping busy with ballet and tap dancing classes. Following high school, Joanna enrolled at a local community college in nearby Lombard, Illinois. Despite her best intentions, she didn't stay there long. "I was miserable," she now admits in retrospect. "I wasn't that into school, because I always knew I wanted to go to work." Deciding higher education wasn't for her, Joanna left for the bright lights of L.A. to pursue a career in modeling.
Joanna's move proved to be an immediate success as she quickly began to build her portfolio with a number of high-profile modeling assignments. "The jobs started coming in and I got the right people around me," she says modestly. Lucrative contracts for brands such as Skechers, Izod and Le Coup soon followed as Joanna continued to assert herself on the scene. "I worked my butt off," she admits. She also showed it off -- repeatedly.
"The first time I did a sexy photo shoot, I was nervous that all the girls in America would hate me for it and think I was letting them down," she says. "It's really nice when a woman comes up to me and says, 'Oh, I loved your picture in such and such.'"
Joanna krupa on son of the beach Joanna's modeling work naturally led to film and television opportunities and, in 2000, she starred in an episode of the Baywatch parody, Son of the Beach. Additional appearances on The X Show and a small cameo in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes followed in 2001.
In 2002, Joanna continued her transition to TV by accepting a year-long recurring role as a Juggy Dancer on Comedy Central's The Man Show. "I knew it wasn't me," she admits, "but they didn't make me feel degraded so it was actually kind of fun. I dressed up in costumes and danced around to music. But every job and every experience helps you get something else and has a reason. Even though it was stupid, it gave me a little bit of recognition."
Joanna krupa wins star search
That recognition and additional television experience helped Joanna to advance to the semi-finals of Star Search's spokesmodel competition in 2003. As exciting as her showing may have been, it also proved to be somewhat disorienting. "That period when I first left Star Search was hard," she says. "I remember having to do a photoshoot with a really famous photographer and I didn't know if I was coming or going. Part of me still felt like a really young girl."
Nonetheless, that "young girl" was now jetting around the world and appearing on magazine covers with increasing regularity. Joanna became a familiar face to readers of publications like FHM, Stuff, Men's Fitness, Trump World, and many more.
Joanna built on her Star Search success in 2004 with an appearance in the hit television series Las Vegas, as well as a starring role in the David Carradine action film Max Havoc: Curse of the Dragon. "At first I was scared to do a major role," she admits, "but the scariest part was when I found out they were giving me a lead role! It gave me more confidence in my acting ability because I got good feedback and was comfortable with the role."
Joanna krupa is model of the year
Joanna's greatest exposure was yet to come, however, as the Polish beauty appeared in the July 2005 issue of Play..boy. TV Media -- a prominent Austrian men's magazine -- also named her Model of the Year. Perhaps just as important, Joanna also fell in love as she began dating Smallville actor Jensen Ackles. "He's so not Hollywood and not into being a star," Joanna raves. "He's absolutely amazing. I've never been more attracted to anyone in my life."
Joanna was casted in major roles in the drama Ripple Effect (2006), the horror film Skinner Box (2006) and the offbeat comedy The Dog Problem (2006), starring Scott Caan and Don Cheadle.
Joanna krupa talks career
"I want to be in this business as long as I can and I want to make smart decisions," she says. "Obviously right now I'm gonna concentrate on modeling and traveling, and doing the movies. I just want to be like a Brigitte Bardot, somebody who has been in the business for a long time, somebody that people will respect 20 years down the line, that would be my goal."
Aside from single-handedly making women's tennis popular again, Anna Kournikova is one of the most searched people on the internet thanks to her amazing looks. She proves that you don't need to be a star tennis player to be one of the most highly endorsed athletes, nor do you need killer tennis skills to have a deadly internet virus named after you.
Has anyone ever looked better in a tennis outfit (we are so grateful for those short white skirts)? Not likely -- Anna Kournikova is sculpted like a goddess. The tennis court was her stage, where she simultaneously (and successfully) flirted with and stunned thousands of admirers. This Russian pinup had the power of filling up arenas when she was scheduled to play. How many women can be credited with the same feat?
Men's magazines like FHM always have included her among the hottest women, and she was named Sexiest Woman in the World in FHM's 100 Sexiest Girls poll in 2002. Her sex appeal has also managed to sell calendars, and the Sports Illustrated issue with Anna Kournikova on the cover was one of the highest-selling issues the magazine has ever published. So it looks like Anna Kournikova's sexiness is unanimous: it doesn't get much hotter than her.

She continued to make appearances in high-profile tournaments and drawing in big crowds, but not as many titles or wins unfortunately. After 2003's Australian Open, she suffered a back injury that led to her withdrawal from that year's Wimbledon games.
In 2001, she had a bit part in the Jim Carrey comedy Me, Myself & Irene as a motel manager, and the following year, she starred opposite Enrique Iglesias in the pop singer's video for "Escape." FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World also made headlines thanks to her relationships with NHL players Pavel Bure and Sergei Fedorov (who she was allegedly married to), and her on-again, off-again romance with Enrique Iglesias.

Also stretching her modeling muscle, Anna Kournikova graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's June 2000 edition, and was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in 2004 and 2005. She also came in at No. 99 in AskMen.com's Top 99 Women of 2006.
In a feature for ELLE magazine's July 2005 issue, Anna Kournikova stated that if she were 100% fit, she would like to come back and compete again. However, in the meantime, we're just fine watching her strut her stuff in magazines and bra ads.
This week Neonpunch throws Hong Kong’s sexy girl group Freeze into the spotlight. These 3 Hong Kong girls – Alley Chen (陳 樂 榣), Sukie Shek(石 詠 莉) and Carisa Yan (甄 穎 珊) – are definitely not making us cold. The stars of a Big Brother type reality show brought them together, and a sexy video for their song Golden Eyes (金睛火眼) made them famous.
But of course with this kind of spotlight comes the controversy: Apparently all 3 girls have had cosmetic surgery, as well as being the spokewomen for B.A.L. Medical Centre (變靚D) where they had the makeover. So they take on a whole new meaning to the concept of the “manufactured band,” but we’re not complaining! The music video that got them there is below:
