Where you’ve seen her:
The former national amateur surfing champion catches waves around the world.
Her first time:
“I was 14. It was a freak accident. We were down at the beach, and a friend just happened to have a board. I was like, Man, I’ve never tried this before. So I went out there, he pushed me into the wave, and I stood up and rode it all the way into the sand. I remember looking at my feet and thinking, I’m going to do this for the rest of my life.”
Or maybe an international spy:
“Every page on my passport was filled with stamps. This last trip, before I got a new one, customs pulled me aside and totally started lecturing me. They thought I was a drug dealer, because I had been to all these places.”
Coincidentally, we don’t surf:
“I’m always going out with surfers, but sort of by default, because that’s usually who I’m around. Now I’m starting to branch out. It’s like dating in the same circle of friends: You can only do it so much, and then you discover you’ve dated everyone.”

Where you’ve seen her:Coming out tops in the Coors’ Light/Maxim Girl Search, this half-Norwegian, half-Colombian model now stars as one of the sexy Bikini Bowlers on the Fox reality show The Casino.
Mean cuisine:
On her love for fishballs, the strange Norwegian food: "Like meatballs, but fish…in a white cream sauce. It’s like goo. It sounds nasty, but it’s my favorite. I’m twisted."
Plunder and lightning:
"We love our culture and heritage—we still drink like Vikings and have sex like Vikings."
Plane ticket, please!
"My brother taught his friends to say, ‘I want to lick you all night,’ in Norwegian. They said they never scored so much as they did in Norway."

Finders, Keepers:Most 19-year-olds spend their days stocking shelves at Blockbuster, but at that age Veronica ditched her home for New York City. She intended to study at Parsons School for Design, but like any woman with a perfect physique in the Big Apple, took to modeling.
Body of Work:
Guess, Chanel, Nivea, and porn-to-the-adolescent-masses Victoria’s Secret have all asked the 5'10" stunner to shill for them. But while modeling all-stars like Jamie King and Rebecca Romijn parlay their careers into big-screen roles, Veronica knows that with great looks does not always come great acting ability. “I have respect for the craft,” she once explained, “but you can’t be an artist if it’s just not in you.”
Out of his League:
Unfortunately for men everywhere, Veronica is off the market. In 2004 she married hockey player Petr Nedved, a center for the Philadelphia Flyers. The lucky pucker proposed to her on Prague’s stately Charles Bridge, but not before putting in some serious work to make the score. “I didn’t really like him at first,” Veronica once said, “but he was persistent to get my number, and little by little…”

Where you’ve seen her:
A former Miss Sweden, she came to prominence here through modeling for Guess? and soon dipped her delicious toe into Hollywood with parts in BASEketball, Zoolander Out Cold, Boat Trip, and the straight-to-video Sting of the Black Scorpion.
Breast of times:
“Because I was a skier, all I hung out with was guys. I was on the school's soccer team and played basketball with the guys because I was tall. But then, I was fully developed at 12.”
Dirty work:
“[Cleaning toilets] was my first job at camp. I made a dollar per hour. It made me appreciate everything. I think if you're too spoiled from the beginning, then you don't appreciate anything.”
Fox hunt:
“One time I had a whole bunch of [crazy men] literally running down Sunset Boulevard after my car. It scared the hell out of me. I had to stop for a red light, and they were shouting 'Victoria!' with these naked magazine pictures of me. That was some turn-on. I was, like, 'Yeah, baby… I'm just gonna drive a little faster.''

“I’m probably the first girl you’ve interviewed who’s actually eating the day before her photo shoot,” Willa Ford jokes, taking a huge bite out of her chicken salad. She’s chowing down to keep her energy up. The 25-year-old is about to embark on a 38-city Dancing With the Stars tour—a live version of the smash TV show that 20 million people watched each week last year and that catapulted her to household-name status.
