Project Runway with an audience in the millions. Check. A Victoria Secret's contract that Miss Klum has an iron grip on. Check. Her own line of shoes, jewelry and candy. Check. The icon they call Heidi Inc. is no mere sexy mortal this one, but a force of nature. All hail.

Viva La Gisele. She of the cascading hair, the shimmering skin, the impossible body and the effervescent personality. Then add the biggest Victoria's Secret contract in history and the Hollywood matinee idol companion and you have to confess the woman has the whole kit! She is a Brazilian national hero for a reason. SS08: Versace, Stefanel, Aquascutum, Disney Parks, Dolce Gabbana fragrance "the one", Vogue eyewear.

This model has not moved in the past week
Hailing from Bahia Brazil, this smouldering beauty is a major triple threat with big bonanza contracts for Maybelline, Victoria's Secret and Telecom Italia Mobile (think "the Verizon of Italy"). And have you seen her turn in the new Pirelli calender by Demarchelier? She is the definition of exquisite!

When will to power comes packaged in a body like this, then what you have is manifest destiny. For the evidence of this consult America's Next Top Model which, now that it is becoming a global franchise clocks her the kind of dollars that just might make an Oprah of Tyra. Then there is her incredible long distance run as a Victoria's Secret spokesmodel. Tyra... Banks. It's not just a name anymore, it's a job description.

This model has not moved in the past week
She could strip her name down to the initials and people would know KK meant Karolina Kurkova. Classic and quirky, sleek yet curvy, upbeat and ambitious. Miss Kurkova is like a walking, talking blue chip stock.
