Supermodel Tyra Banks may be a celebrity in her own right but no one can deny that she became a household byword when her name was linked to golfer Tiger Woods. The 34-year old actress and model recently made it to the tabloids after she was criticized for her alleged weight gain, a far cry from the body which became the star of the Elite Modeling agency. However, Banks said she does not encourage women to become slaves to the perfect look. Despite her not-so-perfect body Banks still made it to the People Magazine’s list of the World’s 100 Most Beautiful Women. Way back in 2006, she was named by TIME Magazine one of the world’s most influential people. Banks, who currently hosts “America’s Next Top Model”, has modeled for Dolce & Gabbana, Cover Girl, Victoria’s Secret, Tommy Hilfiger and Anna Sui.

Her handlers have chosen a very appropriate screen name for Olivia Jane Cockburn more popularly known as Olivia Wilde. Wilde has appeared in various television shows including “The Black Donnellys” and “The OC” where she played the role of Alex Kelly. What made people notice her was however her lesbian scene with Mischa Barton in “The OC”. Wilde is number 16 in the list of Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100 for 2005. FHM has also listed her as number 95 in the 100 Sexiest Women of 2006. She is now a household byword as Thirteen on House. Fans will see her next with Jack Black in “The Year One”.

Teri Hatcher of Superman’s Lois Lane fame has been desperate over the past months due to Hydroderm’s claim that she violated the terms of her contract by promoting the products of rival City Cosmetics. Turns out she is not that desperate now after Hydroderm issued a public apology, gave Hatcher an undisclosed amount of money and even paid their own attorney’s fees! The 40-something hot momma who has become a household byword thanks to the “Desperate Housewives” television show went on to raise $35,000 to support poverty-stricken people in Kenya. Hatcher and her 10-year old daughter presented the donation while they were in Nairobi.
