Heidi Cortez is the stuff California dreams are made of. Born on March 11, 1981, this southern Cali girl is stacked: 34D-25-37. Ouch!
If you want to get in her good books, Heidi cites "cute dimples, nice teeth and comedy" as her turn ons, and "bad breath and trying too hard" as things that will definitely send her looking the other way. If you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Heidi in real life, you just might hear the sounds of the Beach Boys, The Ramones or The Killers coming from her car as she cruises the California streets.
To get inside Heidi's erotic side, check out her book, Heidi's Bedtime Stories: Erotic Quickies for Men and Women. The book features 35 original sexy short stories, all written by Heidi herself. More than just a pretty face, Heidi has lent her smouldering voice to a CD full of naughty stories, called Sexxy Noises.
Heidi has appeared in a celebrity layout on Playboy.com, consisting of three consecutive months of layouts. That, er, "exposure" led to a contract with Sirius Radio to read her stories on a show called "Tissue Time with Heidi Cortez." That, in turn, has lead Heidi to be signed on as the co-host of "The Extra Point" on ESPN Radio from 2001-2003.

This Brazilian-born beauty stands at a statuesque 5'10'', with a dark brown mane and blue/grey eyes. Her measurements are a perfect hourglass: 34-24-34.
Adriana's stunning looks have made her a very successful supermodel, known for her appearances for Victoria's Secret and Maybelline. Currently, she is the third-highest paid model in the world, second only two Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss. Last year, Adriana earned a whopping $4.5 million!
Adriana ranked 7th on FHM 100's Sexiest Women 2007 and was chosen as one of People magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People in the World, alongside several other Victoria's Secret Angels.
Here's a bit of good news: Adriana had concerned becoming a nun before she got into modelling - thank God her talents were put to better use, eh? Her modelling career kicked off when she was 13 years old, when she was discovered at a local mall. She finished first in the Ford Supermodel of Brazil model search, and later placed second in the 1996 Ford Supermodel of the World competition.
Early in her modelling career, Adriana appeared in runway shows for Christian Lacroix, Valentino, and others, but it wasn't until she was featured in a billboard ad for Vassarette, which ran in Times Square.
In her personal life, Adriana has been linked to many celebrities including an engagement to musician Lenny Kravitz and a relationship with NY Yankee Derek Jeter. The tabloids were abuzz with rumours of a relationship with Liechtenstein's Prince Wenzeslaus. That relationship ended, however, and her attentions are now turned toward Denny, the lead singer of Timbalada.
In an interview with GQ, Adriana revealed that she is still a virgin and that she intends to save herself for her husband, although she has no plans to marry in the near future.

Knockout! I think that says it all. Here's Oxford concise Dictionary's new meaning for Knockout - Flo Jalin. Jaws all on the Flo-or. She is an underwear model and a model otherwise too. Made of pure lustful content, she reaches out to any man's carnal instincts. Maybe it's due to her Hawaiian bringing up, she just so suits bikinis and beachwear better than mermaids even.
Stunning and fabulous her body is(34C-24-34), Flo makes her fans melt and flow down the gutter. Miss Hawaiian Tropics Maui 1999, Miss Hawaii Tropics Honolulu 2000, Miss Hawaiian Tropics Taiwan 2000, and Miss Hawaiian Tropics Top 12 Nationals 2000, she was a contestant in Miss Venus Swimwear National Competition 2000, Miss Bud Hawaii. Flo Jalin, of Taiwanese ethnicity, is a resident of Los Angeles. May God bless LA.

Ever wanted the autograph of Jay Leno, Axl Rose, Robin Williams or Samuel L Jackson? Here's a star who was approached by these men and more for an autograph. A school teacher for autistic and distracted children, he's the Top Porn Star of all-time. He has bedded around 4000 women and that includes all varieties, color, creed, sizes, ages etc.
Maybe to remember all the names would be impossible but every single woman who slept with him would never forget the (s)experience. Endowed with almost a quarter-metre long gift, he has been able to woo and pleasure his co-artistes greatly. It is indeed a great achievement for a person of his appearance and he's in the hall of fame. It all started with his proud girlfriend's mailing Playgirl magazine for the Guy Next Door feature. Presto, he quickly became a star.
For about the past 30 years, this 54 year old youngster has been venturing into many tunnels. His (s)expeditions on hills, mountains, valleys and prairies has been well recorded, both in history and on film. He's unstoppable even to this day. All hail Ron Jeremy Hyatt.

The popular star since King Cobra till Employee of the Month and more to come, Efren is also a touring DJ with a taste for Hard house than Hiphop. He was a judge at the acting phase of the America's Next Top Model, very recently. It is worth noting that Efren has a twin, who looks as adorable as him (Duh! He would. They're twins.) and another brother.
His performance in Napolean Dynamite earned him so much money with which his parents bought a new house. Can't think of sparing so much money to the family, huh? Learn people, learn. Of Salvadorian and Hispanic-American descent, Efren prefers to give a 'bigger-half' to his El Salvador fraction. For a brief span, he was married to Iyari Limon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame, in 1998. Now who says he was born in 1983? Meant to say he was just 15 when he got married and, that too, to someone 7 years elder to him? God knows.

Presenting you unofficial but factual info about One pretty-looking far-east feast well-endowed without implants. Her face, name and attire speak for her descent - asian, filipino and Hawaiian respectively but further down her neck, something makes it unbelievable about her asian origin. A model for several big names like Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria's secret, Armani exchange among others, Jarah's birth name is Jarah Evelyn Makalapua Mariano.
Catch her on Jay Z's "Show me what you got" video at 2:52 playing cards with Hova. Now let's all rise to thank God and Model Agency IMG for having sent us such a heavenly bombshell that make us all explode.
Caution: Please don't look at her pictures right in time for leaving to meeting your female; she looks too-good-to-be-true and may make you wanna forget the existence of your date.
