Brooklyn Decker

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS

Brooklyn Decker has been turning heads since 2006 when she made her debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, and she continues to make men swoon, making waves most recently on the cover of the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. This stunner has also made a splash in high-profile campaigns for Gap, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, and J.C. Penney. "It's like a dream," she says of her flourishing career. "It's one of those things where it's not something you hope for because it's too unrealistic to want that." With Brooklyn's dabbling in acting, you can now catch her onscreen without having to be grateful to some random U.S. Open camera guy with a thing for sexy blondes. With appearances on Ugly Betty, Chuck, Royal Pains, and The Dan Patrick Show under her belt, it’s only a matter of time before Decker gets a regular gig on TV. Until then, we’ll always have the Swimsuit Edition.

Brooklyn Decker Quote

" The biggest challenge [in modeling] is seeing people I know get sucked into everything from the temptations to weight problems."

89 SEX APPEAL

Brooklyn Decker has the kind of body that men fantasize about. Her fabulously long, colt-like legs and mouthwatering 34-24-34 dimensions are definitely made to order. So how does this tantalizing model stay in shape? "Thankfully, I have good genes,” she admits, “but there's pressure to not gain weight because it's my job. It's tough at times because I'm a girl that loves candy." Well, tennis superstar Andy Roddick took notice, and the couple tied the knot in 2009. In 2010, Brooklyn Decker landed the coveted cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

70 SUCCESS

Get used to hearing Brooklyn Decker’s name. This heavenly creature has appeared in a bevy of big-name magazines, including Sports Illustrated, Teen Vogue, FHM, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Elle Girl, and Spin. Her smiling face has also appeared in high-profile campaigns for Gap, Victoria's Secret, American Eagle, Hollister, J.C. Penney, and SportsIllustrated.com, where she cohosts the site’s popular She Says, Z Says weekly feature. The model can now be seen onscreen having made appearances on Ugly Betty, Chuck, Royal Pains, and The Dan Patrick Show.

BROOKLYN DECKER BIOGRAPHY

Brooklyn Decker was born in 1987, in Kettering, Ohio. The daughter of medical professionals, she grew up with dreams of one day becoming a veterinarian. "That's because my parents are big animal lovers,” she explains. “We have four dogs and a cat."

Luckily for men everywhere, Brooklyn Decker’s best intentions were sidetracked during her early teens when she was discovered at a mall in Charlotte, North Carolina. Brooklyn Decker’s modeling agency promptly entered her in a number of contests and she rewarded their faith by running away with the 2003 Model of the Year award at the Connections Model and Talent Convention. Before long, Brooklyn Decker’s smiling face was popping up everywhere, including popular prom magazines. "It was so cool because everybody at school had a copy," she recalls.

Brooklyn Decker In Cosmopolitan

Brooklyn Decker’s rising profile soon attracted the attention of national periodicals and she began posing for Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Elle Girl, Vogue, FHM, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and Spin. In fact, Brooklyn Decker found herself to be in such high demand that she made the decision to leave Charlotte behind to head for the bright lights of New York City.

Brooklyn Decker In Sports Illustrated

In 2005, within two months of relocating to the Big Apple, Brooklyn Decker was asked to audition for the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. "I [asked my agency] to give me three weeks to hit the gym and eat really healthy," she says. Her hard work clearly paid off, and Brooklyn Decker was selected to join legendary models like Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson, Rachel Hunter, and Rebecca Romijn for the magazine’s 2006 edition.

"I just got lucky with Sports Illustrated," she admits. "There are many jobs when I go in and they're just like ‘Eh' and they kind of brush me away. That's OK. That's part of the job. I'm happy that the people who did love me were from SI."

Brooklyn Decker And Victoria’s Secret

They weren’t the only ones, though. Victoria’s Secret caught wind of Brooklyn Decker’s selection and immediately booked her to model for their own swimsuit catalog. "So, there I was shooting Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated in the matter of one week," she says. "I was completely outside myself that whole week. I would pray and I would say, ‘Lord, is this really happening or am I in a big dream?'"

Brooklyn Decker In She Says, Z Says

Brooklyn Decker solidified her reputation within the modeling industry by appearing in her second Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2007. Fans also saw more of Brooklyn Decker in action on the NBC comedy Lipshitz Saves the World, as well as in She Says, Z Says, a Sports Illustrated online feature in which she goes head to head with football beat-writer Paul Zimmerman.

Brooklyn Decker On The Cover Of The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition

In February '08, Brooklyn Decker appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, making men drool all over her once again. One month later, she and tennis star Andy Roddick announced their engagement officially.

Brooklyn Decker was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in February 2009 as well. Two months later, she married tennis star Andy Roddick. In 2010, she landed the coveted cover of the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

With Brooklyn's dabbling in acting, you can now catch her onscreen without having to be grateful to some random U.S. Open camera guy with a thing for sexy blondes. With appearances on Ugly Betty, Chuck, Royal Pains, and The Dan Patrick Show under her belt, it’s only a matter of time before Decker gets a regular gig on TV. Until then, we’ll always have the Swimsuit Edition.

The 22-year old Russia sweetheart also appeared in this year's SI Swimsuit Edition. The location for the shoot was the Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg. Irina Shayk and compatriot Anne V pranced around the hotel, which has twice made the list of Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List of the best hotels in the world, in skimpy swimwear....they also got to wear expensive jewelry and bangles, including the $14 million and 295-carat Ponahalo diamond necklace.

The Grand Hotel Europe is located opposite the Russian Museum in the heart of St. Petersburg. The other locations for this six-day shoot were the Ice Breaker Crasin, Russian Standard Vodka distillery and the Avtovo Russian Circus. But the video for this year's shoot had little dialogue; so sexy Irina in her cute accent talks about her home town in the Ural Mountains, and her love for hip-hop and R&B in the 2007 SI video.

Irina Shayk lingerie and fashion modeling

As Irina Shayk says in that SI video, she loves Italian food tomato mozzarella. But that's not all....according to rumor Irina has an Italian boyfriend. She has also done the maximum modeling work in Italy. Irina Shayk is the face of Intimissimi lingerie, taking over from Ana Beatriz Barros.

Irina has also done lingerie modeling for Cesare Paciotti, La Senza, Mango, Guess and Séance lingerie. Sheik recently modeled for the Victoria's Secret Holiday catalog. She has also modeled Triumph lingerie in Japan. Shayk appeared along with Italian model Yesica Toscanini in one Intimissimi campaign.

Irina Shayk has also walked on the runway in lingerie. She has modeled T-Shirts, tops and mini skirts for the Playboy clothing line, but has not appeared in the magazine. Irina has appeared in regular fashion magazines like Paris Capitale, La Confidential, Vogue Italy (March 2008), Annabelle, Jalouse and Bolero (Switzerland, June 2005).

Irina Sheik has also modeled regular clothes for famous brands like Bagutta, Quelle La Source, Paciotti, and Mango. Irina is 5'10" tall with a figure of 34-23-35.

By the time Irina Shayk hit puberty (she was born January 6, 1986) Russia embraced capitalism and opened up to the west, which gave many opportunities to Russian and Ukrainian girls like Olga Kurylenko. Irina had the looks and the figure to get into modeling, being famous then as now for her perfect teeth and beautiful green eyes.

Irina Shayk was discovered in 2004 at age 17 by Guia Djikidze, founder of Grace Models agency. Guia Djikidze, who also discovered the famous Russian model Natalia Vodianova and Anne V (who features in SI 2008), found Irina while on a three-day train journey from Chelyabinsk to Moscow. Chelyabinsk is the capital of the region and in that same year Irina Shayhlislamova won the Supermodel 2004 competition for the Chelyabinsk region, earning 60,000 Ruble, a modeling contract with Exclusive agency, and a chance to compete for the Ford Supermodel Russia title.

However that year Ukrainian Natalia Gotsiy won the title; she is also a well-known model in Europe right now. Irina Shaikhlislamova got work in Russia for the Modus Vivendis agency but later enrolled with agencies based in mainland Europe like Elite, One Models, etc. Because of her great body and Mediterranean looks, Irina began getting modeling contracts in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain, before the prestigious SI swimsuit shoot made her a household name. She still does modeling jobs in her native Russia.

Irina says she admires Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev. She is also a fan of football and supports Guus Hiddink, the former Dutch footballer who coaches the Russian national side, because he led the Russian team to its biggest success since Soviet times – the semi-finals of Euro 2008. Irina Shayk says she loves to eat cakes and hides a lot of sweets and cookies in her kitchen cabinet.....obviously in tiny portions because none of those calories show on her body!

At a young age Sheik wanted to be an actress; but as yet she has only appeared in a promotion for the Ryan Leslie single Diamond Girl. Irina has a pet cat and loves both cats and dogs; she would love to open an asylum for strays. Shayk says that she loves tomatoes....while an Italian magazine claims that Irina enjoys drinking champagne, eating caviar, and hanging out in Capri pants!

Kelly Clarkson

ALL I EVER WANTED

"I just want to be able to look back at this album and be proud, and to think, 'Man, that was awesome!'"

With her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted, Clarkson demonstrates her eagerness to continue branching out, and to push her music in new and unexpected directions. Though she has sold over twenty million records around the world; landed eight singles in the Top Ten; and won Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, and even been nominated for a CMA Award, she maintains that she's far more interested in challenging herself than in repeating herself.

Clarkson's enthusiasm is instantly apparent, even infectious, as she races to talk about each of the new songs. "A lot of it has a soulful, '70s rock vibe," she says, "and then some is more club/dance stuff—'If I Can't Have You' is like the Killers-meets-the Eurythmics." But she also shows her softer, more emotional side with "If No One Will Listen" and her own composition, "Cry," which she says is "basically a country song with pop production, incredibly sad but still strong."

Clarkson points to the album's first single, the unforgettably titled "My Life Would Suck Without You" (produced by pop wizards Dr. Luke and Max Martin and written by the two with Claude Kelly) as an example of her need to personalize and connect with all of her material. "They write great catchy, sassy songs," she says. "But it became a very different song from how it started. We changed the point of view, and other things throughout, because we had to make it more Kelly Clarkson. And Luke and Max love that, because it's a challenge for them to make a song really work for me."

The album's defiant track "I Do Not Hook Up" comes courtesy of Katy Perry. "I've been a fan of hers since before 'I Kissed a Girl,'" says Clarkson. "And when I heard that song, it really felt like something I could have written myself."

She laughs as she describes "I Want You" and its surprising theme. "First, it's not a boy-bashing song, so that's already different for me," she says. "Plus, I wrote it, so that makes it even weirder!"

The range of All I Ever Wanted shouldn't come as a shock, though, considering the wild ride that Texas-born Kelly Clarkson has lived. She was, of course, catapulted into the spotlight in 2002 as the very first American Idol winner. ("Our show was so different from how it is now," she says. "Now there's all this pressure, all these comparisons, but we were just a bunch of kids that wanted to make music—it was almost like performing in bars for ten people, like I used to.") Her superstardom was secured with Breakaway in 2005. That album sold over ten million copies, spun off five Top Ten hits, and stayed on the charts for two full years.

But the platinum-selling follow-up, 2007's My December, arrived surrounded by widespread rumors and speculation. Clarkson, for one, still doesn't know what the fuss was all about. "Really, it was a very positive experience," she says. "Mostly I learned about how people can twist things—I've never met one artist that agreed with their label about every single thing, but people made such a big deal out of it. The label saw that I wanted to push the envelope, they let me make the record I wanted to make, and now I can make another one."

So when it came time to choose songs for All I Ever Wanted, Clarkson knew what she was looking for. "Ninety-nine per cent of the time, I'm a lyrics girl," she says. "I like the more melodic, formula stuff because I grew up loving pop music, but most of the time I'm totally about the lyrics and the message of the song.

"I could always sing all of these styles," she continues, "but I think only now am I getting more comfortable with the people I work with, and people are getting more comfortable with me, getting to know me and what I like."

She says that working with producers Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello on "Whyyouwannabringmedown," which she describes as having "kind of a punk-British Invasion sound," was the album's turning point. "I sang that song through I don't know how many times, just because I was having so much fun," she says. "It was new and it was fresh and it didn't sound like anything on the radio. And after that, I went to my manager and said that I wanted to make a really fun, feisty album, and just wanted to go all the way with every song."

Clarkson penned about half of the album, but it's hard to pin down her work as representing any single style. "My writing is all over the place," she says. "I do love writing sad, depressing songs—that's definitely fun for me. But I'm very much a writer of whatever I'm going through, what I see in my life. And I'm 26, so I change every day!"

Mostly, she's excited to get back on the road and take the songs of All I Ever Wanted onto the stage. "Even when I'm recording, I'm always thinking about how I'm going to do a song live, what I'll be able to bring to it. I make records for touring—it's my favorite part of what I do."

Through the highs and lows, the triumphs and controversies, Kelly Clarkson has retained, even strengthened, her love for all styles of music. With All I Ever Wanted, she's able to fully reveal how far that love extends. "This time, I wanted to show the extremes of what I can do," she says. "That's what keeps me interested, and keeps the audience interested.

"I never want to make just one sound," says Kelly Clarkson. "The worst thing to me is when all the songs on an album sound the same. If you have that choice, why wouldn't you want to bring out all the different sides and colors of your personality?"

Lingerie

The bikini was invented in 1946 and named after the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, the site of atomic bomb testing.
Jacques Heim and Louis Reard - Bikini Inventors

The inventors were two Frenchmen, Jacques Heim and Louis Reard. Of course, Heim and Reard didn't create the idea of the bikini; drawings of bikini-like suits have been found on wall paintings dating back to 1600 B.C.


The modern term "bikini" for a particular bathing suit design was first used by Heim and Reard (who were, in reality, the re-inventors of the bikini). Heim was a couturier designer from Cannes, France, who had designed a very small bathing suit called the "Atome" (french for atom). He hired a skywriting plane to advertise his design by skywriting "Atome -- the world's smallest bathing suit" Three weeks later, Reard, a mechanical engineer, had another skywriting plane write "Bikini -- smaller than the smallest bathing suit in the world."

today i am going to wear a bikini. i am scared out of my pants i really wanted one but now i am having second thoughts...!!!! my big problem area is my stomach!! its not bad but.. its not flat!!!!
