Brooke Lisa Burke was born in Hartford, Connecticut on September 8, 1971. She is a middle child, being the fourth among seven children of a Jewish family. She is popularly known as the “hottest tour guide and adrenaline junkie” due to her popular spot on E!'s Wild On in 1997. The new definition of exotic location was seen in a different light due to her tours all over the world in search for the most exotic party locations.
And thanks to her and her crazy escapades, a new line of beachwear known as “Barely Brooke” came to life. This line made its popularity way up to Victoria's Secret catalogue and Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue.

Angie Everhart - Totally Nude Photos
Biography
Angela Kay Everhart was born in Akron, Ohio on September 7th, 1969. Her parents, mom Ginnie and dad Bobby, raised Angie to be the well-rounded person she is today. Her mom is even the one who kick-started her career by taking one of Angie's pictures to a local modeling agency.
Angie began attending Harvey S. Firestone High School, where she became known as the "Firestone Falcon" -- the high school's mascot. Little did anyone know that the high school mascot would soon become a stunning model.
Angie Everhart began her career in modeling when she was 15. Her mother submitted some photos of her to a local modeling agency and later that year, she was on her way to Paris. The next year had her appearing on the covers of Elle and Glamour magazine.
Despite the fact that she has been told she wouldn't make it as a model because of her red hair, she succeeded, eventually posing for various publications, including the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. She got her debut as a film star on Arnold Schwarzenegger's Last Action Hero. Some of the films she has appeared on include Tales From the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood, Denial, Trigger Happy, and Gunblast Vodka.
Career
Following a playful photo session with her mother and the submission of the results to a local modeling agency, Everhart was on a plane to Paris later that year. By the end of the following year, she had graced the covers of such fashion mainstays as ELLE and Glamour magazine (for which she was the first-ever red-haired cover girl). Though a riding accident in which she broke her back at the age of 19 nearly put an end to her aspirations, Everhart eventually recovered through physical therapy. Early in her career, Everhart was advised she would never be a top model because she was a redhead. However, she succeeded in her chosen career and posed for numerous publications. She appeared in several issues of the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, starting in 1995.
After years of publicly insisting she would never pose nude, Everhart did just that for the February 2000 issue of Playboy. She was ranked #98 on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2003. Everhart made her film debut in 1993 with the Arnold Schwarzenegger action-comedy Last Action Hero. She has since appeared in such features as Tales From the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood(1996), Denial(1998), Trigger Happy (1996) and Gunblast Vodka (2000).
Other movies she has appeared in include Jade (1995), and Executive Target (1997), Since then, her feature film roles have been restricted to low budget erotic thrillers such as Another 9 1/2 Weeks (1997) and Bare Witness (2001). She also appeared in the 2004 television series Celebrity Mole: Yucatan, in which she was the rogue agent sabotaging the group. She was one of the "Gingers" on the second season of The Real Gilligan's Island (the other was Erika Eleniak), but left the show when she accidentally cut her finger severely enough to sever tendons and require surgery. Angie was also a panelist on "To Tell The Truth" from 2000 to 2001.
Following Appearances in
The Real Deal (2002), Bandido (2003) and the made-for-TV movie 1st to Die (2003), she made Super Bowl history by being captain of one of two teams in the first-ever Lingerie Bowl in 2004. She also appeared in Celebrity Mole: Yucatan, and did a great job as "The Mole." Hopefully she will soon land a starring role in a major motion picture and give audiences a breakthrough performance.
Personal life
Everhart was briefly engaged to Sylvester Stallone in 1995, married to Ashley Hamilton from December 1996 until March 1997, and has been rumored to be involved with Prince Albert of Monaco. She briefly dated Howard Stern after his divorce from his wife and before he became engaged to fiancee, Beth Ostrosky. Stern has admitted to it and openly discussed having dated and slept with her. Stern only went public about his tryst with Everhart because she went public with it first, calling Stern the "best sex she's ever had" in an interview with FHM magazine. She met the Duke of York in 2002 and by 2006 they were in a relationship. She has also dated Orlando Jones. It was announced on July 30, 2007 that Everhart is engaged to actor Joe Pesci.
Angie Gets Sly with Ashley
resource: AskMen
After a two-month engagement to Sylvester Stallone in 1995, the stunning redhead married Ashley Hamilton (son of George Hamilton, the really tanned guy) on December 1st, 1996. But three short months later, Angie and Ashley decided to part ways and filed for divorce.
Although Angie starred in numerous other films in 1999, such as Running Red, Dillinger in Paradise and Point Doom, she had yet to make her mark in the acting department. While she had already broken her promise to grandma, she decided to go all the way and appeared in a Playboy pictorial in February 2000.
This move re-ignited her career and led to interesting parts in The Substitute: Failure Is Not an Option (2001), Last Cry (2001), Bare Witness (2002), as well as a plum role in the short-lived primetime series UC: Undercover, which was executive produced by Danny DeVito.
This babe has got it all: inexhaustible curves, a narrow face with luscious lips, smooth milky skin, and legs that never quit. This 5'11" redhead has a perfect 35½C-24-35 body, which is nicely decorated with a few artful tattoos. Sure, she got implants in 1995 to boost her career, but we're not going to hold it against her. In fact, we're kind of hoping that she'll hold them against us...
Credit must be given where credit is due; supermodels certainly know how to dress. Some of the younger ones are not fully fashion savvy yet, but if you were in the business as long as Angie Everhart, you'd picked up a trick or two.
She's all about sophistication, wearing evening gowns the way they were meant to be worn. From black leather pants and a cropped jacket to a retro rocker T, everything looks hot on her.

Denise Richards Nude Photos in Playboy
Biography
Denise Lee Richards(born February 17, 1971) is an American actress and former fashion model. She became famous in the late 1990s, after a string of films that highlighted her sex appeal, including Starship Troopers, Wild Things, and The World Is Not Enough.
Richards was born in Downers Grove, Illinois, the daughter of Joni, a coffee shop owner, and Irv Richards, a telephone engineer. She has one sister, Michelle, and grew up in both Mokena, Illinois and Downers Grove, Illinois. She graduated from El Camino High School in 1989, Oceanside, California, where she was a cheerleader.
Before she was an actress, Richards was a fashion model. Richards spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in lower-budget films and TV shows like Saved by the Bell,television movies, and guest starring in episodes of several television shows. Her first starring role in a wide theatrical release was Starship Troopers in 1997, which was followed by her role in the moderately successful cult film Wild Things in 1998.
Richards was cast as the nuclear scientist Christmas Jones in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999), which had a high box office gross. Though she considered her role "brainy", "athletic", and having depth of character, she was criticised as not credible in it. Her outfit comprising a tank top and shorts also elicited similar opinions. She was ranked as the worst Bond girl of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2008. In addition to her film work, Richards made regular appearances in the situation comedies Spin City, Two and a Half Men, Friends and Seinfeld. She also starred in the short-lived UPN series Sex, Love & Secrets in 2005. Throughout the early 2000s, Richards appeared in several film roles which both parodied and utilized her image as a sex symbol, including Valentine, Undercover Brother, Scary Movie 3 and Love Actually. In December 2004, she posed for a nudepictorial in Playboy magazine. Richards also posed semi-nude for the July 2006 issue of Jane magazine to raise money for the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation. In 1999 she ranked 9 in Maxim's 50 Sexiest Women and in 2001 she was voted 2nd in FHM's USA 100 Sexiest Women, 5th in FHM 100 Sexiest Women and 19 in AskMen.com 50 Most Beautiful Women.
Denise Richards Nude Photos In December Playboy
Charlie Sheen is so happy with his marriage that he encouraged his wife to strip down for the December cover of Playboy. "He was very supportive," she says. Sheen helped her choose the final photos. "Charlie's been a Playboy fan for years".
But she did select an unusual entourage to accompany her to the Bahamas for the photo shoot - her mother, father and six-month-old daughter Sam. Richards admits that Playboy magazine has held a memorable place in her family's history for a number of years.
She explains, "My dad subscribed to Playboy when I was little. My sister and I found a magazine and we were really upset. We thought my dad was gonna divorce my mom. So he sat us down and had a talk and explained that he buys the magazine for the articles". Don't we all?
With flashing eyes of emerald green and lips like plump, candied slabs of love, Denise Richards is pretty enough to have secured a movie career without ever having shown anything. Indeed, her breakthrough role in Starship Troopers (1997) was a fully clothed jaunt, although no amount of fabric could conceal the trundling treasures of her heaving chest. Those beauties, and the booty that backs.
Personal Life
In 2002, she married actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she appeared in Scary Movie 3, in which she played his character's dying wife. The couple has two daughters: Sam J and Lola. Richards was named the Sexiest Mom of 2005 by In Touch Weekly magazine.
In March 2005, Richards filed for divorce from Sheen. The couple briefly reconciled and were seeking marriage counseling to mend their relationship. However, on January 4, 2006, Richards' representative announced that she was continuing with the divorce, and she later sought a restraining order against Sheen, citing his alleged death threats against her. Richards briefly dated Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora shortly after their respective separations from Sheen and Heather Locklear, ending what Locklear had considered to be a close friendship. Richards once dated actor Patrick Muldoon; she has also been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she dated during her teenage years.
On April 19, 2006, Richards filed formal legal papers asking for divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California. In her 17-page court filing (not counting additional supporting evidentiary documents), Richards alleged that Sheen's behavior was increasingly erratic, making their marriage impossible, and that she feared for her safety and the safety of their two daughters: Sam J. and Lola Rose.
Richards claimed that Sheen was physically and verbally abusive and threatened to kill her or have her killed, and that despite having accidentally shot his previous fiancée, Kelly Preston, he wanted to place firearms under their coffee table to protect them. Richards claimed that Sheen had become paranoid and obsessive, citing his belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories, a belief that baby formula caused brain damage, a desire to purchase gas masks, and an "abnormal fascination" with Nicole Simpson's death.
Further, Richards alleged that Sheen visited prostitutes and was addicted to gambling, prescription drugs (which he bought over the Internet), and pornography. Richards also alleged that Sheen posted a picture of his erect penis on his online profile of a "sex-search type" website and that he frequently viewed pornography featuring "very young girls," and websites "involving gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults." Based on these allegations, Richards sought and received a restraining order against Sheen.
Sheen denied the allegations. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he described Richards' actions as a "smear campaign" and insisted that he was a responsible father who would "give his life for his children." He added that Richards is "the only one entirely culpable for putting these radical allegations out for public consumption... my children included."
On December 1, 2007, it was announced that Richards's mother, Joni, died from cancer.On November 8, 2006, officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called to the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C., where Richards was making a movie. After seeing some photographers taking her picture (Nude) from a nearby balcony, she apparently confronted them, grabbed one of their laptop computers and threw it over the balcony. The laptop landed near two elderly women, one 91 years old on a zimmerframe and one 89 years old and in a wheelchair. The 89-year-old woman suffered minor injuries (mild bruising) and was treated by emergency personnel.
In 2008, Richards decided to include her two daughters with Charlie Sheen in a her own upcoming reality television show. He deemed her plans "greedy, vain and exploitative". On January 25, 2008, Richards won a court case against Sheen so that she can include her daughters in the show. When a judge rejected Sheen's request to block it, the latter urged fans to boycott it. An agreement was reached between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards regarding the custody of the children.
The relatively unknown beauty Denise Richards made an indelible impression on male audiences with her infamous onscreen threesome with Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell in 1998's Wild Things.
With her lusty image in tow, Richards became a Bond girl in 1999's The World Is Not Enough, and after working with Charlie Sheen on Spin City, she married him. While several months pregnant with their second child, Richards filed for divorce, later requesting a restraining order against Sheen.
Tabloid attention grew when she soon began dating Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, who at that time was married to her former friend Heather Locklear. Richards and Sheen are now in a bitter custody dispute, and she and Sambora have called it quits.

Drew Barrymore - Nude Charlie's Angels
Biography
Drew Blyth Barrymore (born February 22, 1975) is an Emmy Award- and Golden Globe-nominated American actress and film producer, the youngest member of the Barrymore family of American actors. She has her own production company, Flower Films. Barrymore made her screen début in Altered States (1980); her breakout role two years later was in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. She quickly became one of Hollywood's most recognized child actresses going on to establish herself in mainly comic roles.
Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, the daughter of American actor John Drew Barrymore and Ildiko Jaid Barrymore (née Makó), an aspiring actress born in a displaced persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany to Hungarian World War II refugees. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has a half-brother John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and Brahma (Jessica) Blyth Barrymore. Her paternal great-great-grandfather, John Drew, the actor, was Irish-born, and immigrated to the US, in the 19th Century.
Barrymore was born into the acting profession, coming from a long line of acting talent stretching back nearly 200 years; her great-great grandparents John Drew, Louisa Lane Drew, her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore, Georgiana Drew and Maurice Costello, and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello were all highly successful actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the grand-niece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore (whom Winston Churchill once proposed to), and Helene Costello, and the great grandniece of John Drew, Jr., actress Louisa Drew, and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. Her father and half-brother are also actors. She is also the god-daughter of director Steven Spielberg.
Her first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgiana Drew; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.
Rise to fame
Barrymore's career began when she was eleven months old, when she auditioned for a dog food commercial. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers were afraid she would cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. She made her film debut in Altered States (1980). A year later, she landed the role of Gertie in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which made her famous. She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences.
Rebellious era
In the wake of this sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood, already a regular at the famed Studio 54 when she was a little girl, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana at 10, and snorting cocaine at 13. She was in rehab at age 13 and a second time at 14. Barrymore later described this period of her life in her 1990 autobiography, Little Girl Lost. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media.
New image
Barrymore used her new-found role as a sex symbol to stage a career comeback playing a manipulative, evil teenage seductress in Poison Ivy (1992). She posed nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy. Spielberg gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read, "Cover yourself up". Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. She would eventually appear nude in five of her movies during this period. During a 1995 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore climbed onto Dave Letterman's desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera. The flash was intended to celebrate his birthday. She also modeled in a series of Guess? jeans ads during this time. She underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992, and has said on the subject:"You should have seen the size of them I was a 34DD. Everybody stared at them and it was so embarrassing. They'd be like "you changed," and they'd be staring straight at my breasts. After I got my boobs reduced to a 34C, all the sudden this thing that was so scary and embarrassing wasn't a problem anymore".
Return to Prominence
She made a comeback in the successful 1996 horror film Scream. Barrymore has continued to be highly bankable, and a top box office draw. She has been especially adept in romantic comedies, such as Wishful Thinking (1996), The Wedding Singer (1998), Home Fries (1998), Never Been Kissed (1999), 50 First Dates (2004), and
She was the subject of My Date with Drew (2005). In it, an aspiring filmmaker and fan uses his limited resources in an attempt to gain a date with her.
On February 3, 2004, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One of her most recent roles has involved her becoming a recurring character in the hit animated comedy Family Guy as Brian Griffin's shallow girlfriend, Jillian. She has since appeared in four episodes.
Barrymore has also appeared in the films Lucky You (2007) and Music and Lyrics (2007). She recently hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time, making her the second female host in the show's history to do so (Candice Bergen being the first) and still remains the youngest celebrity to host the show (Barrymore hosted in 1982 at age 7; Jodie Foster was 14 when she hosted it in 1976). Barrymore has a worldwide box office gross that stands at over $2.3 billion. According The Hollywood Reporter's annual Star Salary Top 10, she is one of the actresses with the second highest salary per movie for 2006.
It was announced on April 11, 2007 that Barrymore will become CoverGirl Cosmetic's newest model and spokeswoman. In April 2007, Barrymore reached No. 1 in People's annual 100 Most Beautiful People list. In May 2007, Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme. In June 2007, Gucci announced that Drew Barrymore would be the new face for their jewelry line.
Personal life
Barrymore was married to Welsh bartender turned bar owner, Jeremy Thomas, from March 20 to April 28, 1994, and to comedian Tom Green from July 7, 2001 to October 15, 2002. Green filed for divorce in December 2001.
In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt claimed on her Sirius Satellite Radio show that she had a romance with Barrymore in the middle 1990s. This was after Barrymore's own 2003 admission that she considered herself bisexual, commenting: "I don't think I could ever just solely be with a woman...It's just not enough for me."
She is currently dating Justin Long.

Gisele Bundchen -- Hot Model
Biography:
Gisele Caroline Nonnenmacher Bündchen (born July 20, 1980) is a Brazilian model. According to Forbes, she is the highest-paid model in the world and also the sixteenth richest woman in the entertainment world,[3] having earned $33 million in 2007 alone, adding to her estimated $150 million fortune. She is also listed on Guinness Book of World Records as the world's richest supermodel. Gisele is the face of more than 20 brands internationally.
Bündchen was born in the Brazilian town of Três de Maio and grew up in Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, to Vânia Nonnenmacher, a bank clerk pensioner, and Valdir Bündchen, a university teacher and writer. She has five sisters — Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela and her fraternal twin Patrícia, Gisele's junior by five minutes. Bündchen was raised as a Roman Catholic, speaks Portuguese as her native language and English as a second language.
She is from Southern Brazil, a region whose population is largely composed of Brazilians of German descent. Bündchen is of distant German ancestry in both sides of her family: her great-great-grandparents immigrated to Brazil from Germany.Modeling career
Originally, Bündchen wanted to be a professional volleyball player and considered playing for the Brazilian team, Sogipa. While in school, Bündchen was so thin that her friends used to call her "Olívia Palito" (Portuguese for Olive Oyl, Popeye's skinny girlfriend), and "Saracura" (a type of Brazilian shorebird).
In 1993, a then-13-year-old Bündchen joined a modeling course with her sisters Patrícia and Gabriela at her mother's insistence.[10] The following year, Bündchen went to São Paulo in a school excursion to give them an opportunity to walk in a big city. In a shopping mall, Bündchen was discovered by a modeling agency.

The world's best-paid model is even bigger in her native Brazil; after clothier C&A signed her to a Brazilian campaign, sales shot up 20% there. (Forbes also found her worthy of a cover for our Brazilian edition this year.) She does fine away from home, too, with seven-figure, multiyear deals from Bulgari, Dolce & Gabbana and Victoria's Secret. And, unlike many colleagues, the 21-year-old still regularly prowls the catwalk.
Gisele Bundchen, Victoria's Secret Part Ways
By Charlotte Triggs
Gisele Bundchen and Victoria's Secret are parting ways, PEOPLE has confirmed.After much speculation as to whether Bundchen, 26, would extend her multi-million dollar contract, her agent tells PEOPLE, "Gisele's contract is finished."
On Tuesday, Edward Razek, Victoria's Secret's chief creative officer, said in a statement: "The long and fruitful relationship between Gisele Bundchen and Victoria's Secret has reached a conclusion. We wish her all the best and thank her for her extraordinary work. She will continue to be a visible part of the world's sexiest brand through the remainder of the year."
The New York Post's Page Six had reported that Bundchen was splitting with the lingerie company because it wouldn't raise her $5 million-a-year salary.
But Bundchen had shown signs of wanting to move on as early as last year. At November's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, she told PEOPLE, "They're really nice clients. I've been working with them for seven years, so it's kind of like they become part of your family."
Nevertheless, she said she was in the mood for a change: "I would like to have different chapters in my life. I mean let's be honest – I do this because it's my job."
And perhaps now people will get to glimpse another side of her. "I'm not this girl all the time," she said. "People have a perception of me because of Victoria's Secret that I'm sexy, but I'm not a sexy girl. I'm very tomboyish."
