Victoria’s Secret supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been voted the World’s Sexiest Woman by E! television, a mere five months after being bashed as “too fat” to walk the runway. Kurkova, 24, beat out fellow Victoria’s Secret supermodels Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen, as well as Oscar winner Angelina Jolie.
Kurkova, a leggy 5′11″ Czech supermodel, was recently ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the world’s highest paid models, raking in an estimated $5 million in 2007. Bündchen, 28, topped that list, with estimated 2007 earnings of $35 million.

Supermodel Carol Alt has long been crediting her gorgeous figure to a raw food diet. The 48-year-old Celebrity Apprentice star is set to launch Raw Essentials, a beauty line that she created exclusively for HSN that will make its debut on Dec. 11.
“This diet has reversed my [prognosis] and all I did was be careful about what I put in and on my body. I couldn’t find anything that was clean to apply on my skin so I decided to come out with my own line. Everything I use in the products are in the same form they were in when found in nature, and haven’t been heated to the point where the molecular structure has been changed.”
