Izabel Goulart was born into an Italian-Brazilian family in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. She is one of seven children. One day while grocery shopping with her mother, Izabel was approached by a hairstylist who told her that she should go into modeling. During Izabel's first show, she experienced a wardrobe malfunction. It was featured in many Brazilian newspapers and remains her most embarrassing moment ever.

Her career could only go up from there. And it did. She went on to model for various designers including Bill Blass, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Jill Sander, Chanel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney. Her big break came in 2005, when she was asked to appear in a Victoria's Secret runway show. The following year, she became a Victoria's Secret Angel. Izabel is staying busy and has graced the covers of Fashion Trend , Vogue , Marie Claire and GQ.

Goulart was reportedly engaged to businessman Marcelo Costa on August 2006. Although she mentioned being single during a February 2008 interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, she stated she was still with Costa in an interview for GQ Italia, November 2009.[citation needed]

Goulart, whose brother has type 1 diabetes, does charitable work, helping hospitals in her native Brazil to raise money to provide free insulin for diabetic children in need. She also has taken an active role with the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) at the University of Miami, a recognized leader in cure-focused research. In 2009, Goulart became the DRI's international ambassador and in that role helps to promote the work of the DRI throughout her travels.

Notable appearances

During an appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in May 2006, O'Brien asked, "What kind of guy do you look for?", and Goulart simply replied "You."

On February 28, 2007, on a follow-up appearance on the show, O'Brien asked to dance with her, and Goulart then suggested dinner after the show. She mentioned that, "In Brazil we have a saying - You're married, but you're not dead."

Goulart appeared again on Late Night, this time on February 7, 2008. She brought O'Brien a Valentine's Day gift, which was later given away to an audience member, who ran with him to the backstage, for taking a good picture of O'Brien and Brian Williams. In the episode, she mentioned that she learned English by watching Woody Woodpecker cartoons.

Goulart appeared in an episode of Two And A Half Men.

She made a guest appearance in the thirteenth episode of season 3 of Entourage alongside fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio.

Bar Rafaeli

4 June 1985, Israel

5' 8½" (1.74 m)

She is the first Israeli model to be featured in Sports Illustrated magazine.

She started modeling at age 11.

Measurements: 35-24-35 (US); 89-61-90 (EU).

Ranked #45 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2007 list.

As of 3/2009, Leonardo DiCaprio is considering converting to Judaism to marry her.

Girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio.

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS

At a young age, Bar Refaeli attracted enormous amounts of attention for her stunning beauty and unbelievable ability to make men swoon. She has appeared on several magazine covers and there are very few retail catalogs out there that haven’t requested her services. She was also the cover girl of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in '09. She also appeared in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, but lost the cover to Brooklyn Decker, aka Mrs. Andy Roddick.

Bar Refaeli Quote

" The photographer can tell me his vision for the shot, but it’s me in front of the camera that brings it out."

Leonardo DiCaprio is famous for going after the world's most beautiful women (note: Gisele Bundchen, Eva Herzigova, Amber Valletta, and Helena Christensen), and he was all over Bar Refaeli when he first met her. He even introduced her to his family in September 2006. The couple broke up in the summer of 2009, and Refaeli is currently single.

Bar Refaeli's slender physique with its curvaceous nature is practically perfect, and her tantalizing gaze could make you renounce your religion. So rarely does a light-haired, pale-eyed woman look exotic, but Bar Refaeli is just that. And the best part is that there’s no artificial manipulation of this naturally exquisite beauty.

While Bar Refaeli’s accomplishments are numerous, they still are one-dimensional. But what a dimension it is! She has signed more deals than your average NBA draft pick. Having landed contracts with some of the biggest brands in advertising, and having been on so many magazine covers, it’s as if Bar has already lived a full life.

Bar Refaeli’s accomplishments have led to an exuberance of fame. When you grace the cover of French ELLE four times in a period of two months, you’re going to have a lot of French gentlemen saying “Oui! Oui!” She certainly has graced the rest of the world with her sexiness, appearing in magazines such as Sports Illustrated and the Victoria's Secret catalog (which is considered to be the “who’s who?” magazine for models).

BAR REFAELI BIOGRAPHY

Bar Refaeli was born on June 4, 1985, in a rural region of Israel. She was raised on a horse ranch, but her countryside origins never inhibited her ambitions. She started modeling before she could even walk and talk. At 8 months old, Bar Refaeli was already doing commercials.

After such an early career start, Bar Refaeli had to undergo that traumatic experience that every child fears: getting braces. Of course, getting braces quickly derailed her modeling career. So, for over three years, Bar Refaeli resorted back to her normal life -- a life devoid of modeling.

When the braces came off in 1997, however, Bar Refaeli wasted no time getting right back into the industry. At the tender age of 11, she burst back onto the modeling scene and has been there ever since. She then appeared in numerous advertisements and infomercials in Israel.

Bar Refaeli In Gq

Bar Refaeli’s rise to prominence seemed to happen overnight. At the age of 15, Bar began to model for catalogs such as Castro and Pilpel. Her undeniable good looks made her an automatic interest for most international magazines and covers.

The turn of the century marked a sign of good things to come for the Israeli vixen. In 2000, she won the title of Model of the Year in a beauty contest, and in 2001, she won her title yet again, as her beauty and modeling talents couldn't be denied. In 2002 and 2003, she was chosen to be the home model of the Renuar fashion network. Additionally, Bar Refaeli was selected for an international fashion production and appeared in the French ELLE magazine.

It was during her rise to prominence that she attained gigs with GQ and Ralph Lauren. However, Bar Refaeli claimed that it was the editorial section in an issue of French ELLE that cemented her celebrity. The editorial section attached her name with the face that so many people were becoming accustomed to seeing, and once her name was attached a celebrity was born.

Bar Refaeli In Sports Illustrated

Bar Refaeli ended up doing photo shoots with Sports Illustrated magazine and Victoria’s Secret. Her career has essentially grown right in front of our eyes; she has developed a sense of how to work in front of a camera, and photographers like working with her.

In early 2007, Bar Refaeli landed more work with SI, and signed a deal with Chanel’s makeup brand.

Putting her at an even higher pinnacle of celebrity, her once-romantic link with award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio speaks mounds for her popularity, although the couple split in the summer of 2009.

Bar Refaeli Is Named No. 20 In 2008 Top 99

In 2007, Bar Refaeli was also awarded "Sexiest Import" at the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards. So it's no wonder AskMen.com readers put Bar so high up on out 2008 Top 99 list. She dropped to No. 34 in 2009, just missing being included in the top third of the 99 Most Desirable Women of the year.

Bar Refaeli In Session

After becoming the spokesmodel for Diddy's scent "I Am King" as well as the clothing brand Hurley, Bar Refaeli was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition in February 2009, this time making the coveted cover. In July 2009, Refaeli posed entirely nude, save for a passage from Stephen King’s short story "Morality" painted on her body, for the cover of Esquire.

Personal Quotes

Marriages are forever, they should be forever. I think marriages are falling apart these days because egos have become larger than life. Women have become independent and so they easily walk out of relationships. Earlier the woman would totally depend on the man. There will be ups and downs in marriage and we should deal with it gracefully. Selfishness will leave us lonely at the end of the day. In my profession, girls are more committed; if they see someone or are married then they stick to their commitment. Guys just get carried away. So it is very difficult to say whether I will marry an actor. There are a few successful marriages in the industry too, but still... I feel that the first choice should be the last choice and that is also the reason why I haven't got a boy friend. If I decide to go around with a guy, I would want to marry him otherwise it doesn't make sense. So not just marriage but I must say that relationships are forever.

On Shoaib Akhtar: He is decent looking, but I don't know about his sex appeal. You need to have a good personality and moral qualities, apart from looks to be sexy. He is a good cricketer, but I don't think he is sexy.

Alexandra Neldel

11 February 1976, Berlin, Germany

5' 6¼" (1.68 m)

Alexandra Neldel was born in 1976 in West Berlin, Germany. Her parents divorced when she was a child. His father is a hunter.

It was always very hard for her to decide if she would be with her father or her mother. Maybe that is the reason why she decided to leave her parents and to live her own life at the age of 16. Yet, she has a very good relationship with her parents.

After finishing "Realschule" in Berlin-Steglitz, she started to work as a dentists' assistant. She worked only one year as a dentists' assistant, but during this time she also worked as a hostess. In 1992 she was discovered by the boss of a German casting agency during a polo competition. Although Neldel had no experience in acting, she got a role in a German daily soap opera, Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten. After leaving Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten in 1999, Neldel starred in several German motion pictures and TV films, including Lammbock, Samba in Mettmann and Emmy-winning series Berlin, Berlin.

She never really studied acting, her principle has always been "learning by doing". She always mentions in interviews that she never wanted to be an actress, it was not her dream to stand in front of the camera, she was completely satisfied with her life as a dentists' assistant. But now, she enjoys her work as an actress and it always makes her happy to give something to the audience.

2005 was the year of her breakthrough as an actress: she began to play the role of Lisa Plenske in the most successful German daily soap-opera ever. She left the series after 365 episodes. After her leaving, the majority of the audience turned aside from "Verliebt in Berlin", the series became rather unsuccessful. More than seven million German people watched the 365th episode of "Verliebt in Berlin", therefore it was a profitable production for German TV channel Sat1.

In 2006 Neldel was "best European soap actress" and got the Rose d'Or (Golden Rose) Award.

She is often considered as a sex-symbol , too - but she always refuses this kind of expression. She is also considered as a girls' girl: that means the majority of her fans are women.

She never talks about her private life, one can never read home-stories about her, as she says, she wants to keep her private life.

Nowadays she is one of the most successful actresses in Germany, she has many fans also in France, since her series "Verliebt in Berlin" was broadcast there as well: it was the most successful German series in France ever.

Worked as dentist`s assistant before her acting career.

Got to know the boss of the casting agency of daily soap opera "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" (1992) during a polo competition, who gave her a role immediately (1996).

Is since 2005 engaged to German camera operator Christof.

She likes swimming, bowling and diving.

On being in the news for her sexy item numbers, she says, “I never read newspapers. I don’t get any at home. I think I have better things to do with my time. It’s a little narcissistic to read about yourself.”

Apart from her item stints this year, she is all set to be seen in the sequel of Murder, which hits theatres in July. “I don’t know why all men want to see me naked,” she laughs, insisting that she’s looking for someone to cuddle and eat popcorn with, and is tired of being single. “I am not single by choice but more out of compulsion.”
