Hey everyone-

My boyfriend has a new movie coming out on June 26th.  It's called Life is Hot in Cracktown, and if you think the title is crazy, you should see the film.  It's a super-gritty film like Crash, but even darker.  It follows several characters lives as they interlace and struggle to stay alive in the same town.  Evan plays a gangster out for revenge, and his performance is amazing, along with Kerry Washington, Victor Rasuk, Brandon Routh, and everyone else involved.

Here's a link to the trailer.

Hi Guys-


I don't know if any of you will be going to the Bahamas, and staying in the Atlantis Hotel, but if you do, I may be in your room with you!  I recently shot for the hotel's magazine, Passport to Paradise, which is in every room and all over the island.  Luckily, I have some of the pictures that I can share with you.  It was shot by the amazing David Mecey, with make-up by Michelle Vanderhule and styling by Joi Salvador.  There were Versace dresses, Pucci bikinis, and even a handful of wigs- blond bobs, tawny locks, and even a silver one!  We shot on deserted beaches, Bohemian towns, docks, and even Thunderball Island, where the James Bond movie was shot.  It was so much fun, and the pictures turned out great.  Here are some of my favorites...and there's more in My Photos.

Hola amigos...

My photos, shot by the AMAZing Nicolas DeBruin, and makeup and hair by his gorgeous wife, Melita, were featured in FHM Spain. There's a six page interview, which I have attached translated, as well. Enjoy :)


The first question is a must: are you related to Principal Skinner, from The Simpson’s?
He may be a long-lost relative, I don’t know. I have actually never seen an episode of the Simpson’s. When someone first said something about Principal Skinner to me, I was so confused!

Just in case we’d like to give it a try: what qualifies you to be a lingerie model?
Well, you have to have the body for it, and feel comfortable being half-naked- I don’t know why they keep asking me to model lingerie! ☺ Seriously though, the part about it I love is hearing from other women that you inspired them to buy something, that makes them feel sexy.

We are seriously thinking about moving to California because every model we interview lives there! Is the place really loaded with beautiful ladies?
You should! Ca is ridiculous. I’ve lived here my whole life, so I really never thought twice about it, but when I finally traveled around the US and Europe, I realized the hot factor isn’t as high elsewhere. Everyone is a model, or looks just like one…your waitress, secretary, even your barista at Starbucks…it’s surreal. I’m just waiting for the day everyone realizes our stash of hot girls and overpopulates LA even more.

In this feature we’re asking our staff what’s the weirdest thing they’ve eaten, yours would be…
Oh I am the worst at trying odd food! I won’t even eat red meat or sushi! Or chicken at shady restaurants. Guys get so exasperated with me. I would definitely not last on survivor…but that’s really the only time when it would come in handy.

What’s the sexiest thing you own?
That’s easy. A Smith and Wesson .38 special. It’s a double or single action revolver, and it’s pretty damn sexy.

What gets you angry?
When people spew out their views on politics or religion, and you can tell they’re just repeating sound bites they’ve heard that are either untrue or illogical. It seems like the people who love to hear themselves talk, are the people who have no idea what they’re talking about.

And what makes you laugh?
I love being around people who don’t care about looking foolish and will do anything for a laugh. I love practical jokes, even if it’s at my expense. Anything that’s not politically correct, or is rude or offensive makes me laugh and I love British humor because it’s sarcastic, biting, and witty.

You’ve appeared in many shows, how many actors have tried to hit on you?
Absolutely none. Kidding, there’s been some, and it’s always the ones who have that reputation around town. I’ll go on set assuming that the rumors aren’t true, or at the very least that they’d be on their best behavior, but no. But there have been so many nice, professional ones too.

What’s a typical Saturday night for you?
Saturday’s usually a pizza, movie night. I really only like going out one night a week in LA, because it’s always the same scene, and it can get old. Now I end up partying enough for the whole week combined in one night, but at least I’m only hung over for one day.


What’s the main advantage of being so gorgeous as you?
That is the worst pick-up line in the book- never use that to a girl!

You recently were in a Def Leppard video, how was the experience?
I was so excited to book that! I have loved them forever, and it was the single featuring Tim McGraw, who’s my favorite singer. It was a fun shoot. I was in black lingerie and cowboy boots, just dancing and rolling around. They play the footage on the huge screen behind the stage at their concerts. I wanted to go see them on tour, but I was a little scared of seeing a 40ft image of me…

Would you say you are a rock and roll girl?
I mean, I love rock and roll music, but it’s not like I’ll be auditioning for Rock of Love anytime soon.

What’s the first album you ever bought?
I think it was Shania Twain. I love her. I think she is one of the most gorgeous women ever, and she has an amazing voice too.

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve said to a man you liked?
My boyfriend at the time was walking me to the private bathroom at a club, and I had had a couple shots and told him that we should get freaky in the bathroom, and when he hesitated, I said without thinking, that my ex had never been scared. He stormed off without another word and left me at the club, and I couldn’t figure out why he was so pissed. I called my friends and my mom, and I was like “I can’t figure out why he’s mad” and when they asked what I said, and I told them, they were all silent, and even my mom was like “Cora! You don’t say that!”

Can you tell us what’s in the last text message you’ve received in your mobile?
Probably some mass text from a club promoter. I hate those because I get excited when I have a new message, and then it’s like “hey you, come check out some club some night.” Sometimes they even try to make them personalized, like “come party with me babe, I miss you” and then send it out to like 30 girls.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
I would love to be able to travel through time. Partly to go to era’s I liked, like the Wild Wild West days, the Scarlett O’Hara days, or even just the 20’s or the 60’s. It would also be great because if you made a wrong decision, you could just go back in time and choose the other option. Or if you stick your foot in your mouth, which I do a lot, you can go back and erase it.

And finally, what’s the punch line to your favorite joke?
That’s what she said.

Hey Everyone-

I just shot the music video for Lionel Richie's next single, featuring Akon, called "Let's Go". My boyfriend and I were cast as the lead boyfriend/girlfriend, so it was so much fun (and easy to shoot). We shot at the gorgeous new SLS Hotel, in Hollywood, and I got to wear my favorite Marciano clothes. Look out for the video on MTV! Here are some stills from the shoot, and some behind the scenes pictures...

The new Lookbook is up on Guess.com. I love the Lookbook feature of the Guess website, because if you're like me, and fashionably handicapped, you can get ideas and inspiration on how to mix and match your wardrobe. It's like your own personal stylist. Here are a few of my favorite outfits:

Also, the new dresses from Marciano are in, and I am in love. If you're looking for the perfect party dress, look no further than www.marciano.com. And I'm not just saying that; my whole closet was Marciano before I started working for them because their dresses always flatter a woman's body. My theory: the drinks may run low, the guys may be lame, the dj may suck, but it's impossible to have a bad time if you're in an adorable dress :)

Here's my favorites:

I've been lucky enough to be able to do another skit on The Tonight Show. This time, a couple other models and I accompany Jay as he knocks on unexpecting people's apts. In preperation for the American Music Awards, Jay gives them the opportunity to recreate their favorite music videos, complete with costumes, choreography, and us as backup dancers. The results are hilarious, and if you need any more convincing to tune in, Jay Leno gets molested by a dude dressed in a belly top and stiletto boots.

So...November 20th, The Tonight Show on NBC!

I got to film the promos for Spike TV's Scream Awards. I play an Amp, which is apparently a comic book character with wings and a skin-tight catsuit (at least that's how it was explained to me). The promo's are playing now on Spike TV, and the special effects look awesome! I'll also be on the Scream Awards, airing October 21st at 9pm. If you love horror, comics, fantasy, and sci-fi, you need to tune in!
