I hope she keeps working with VS as angel ... and the rumours are false

(but lose some weight and look just like the 2005

A lot of people talked about her after te VS show

Here in Holland too.... in the biggest tabloid they said: supermodel karolina kurkova is the 1 everyone is talking about + big photo

...and on the dutch websites

And she became nr.1 of sexiest on E! or something ...so a lot of press which is good

It is such a double-edged sword for me....there's one side of me that wants her to stay so we can see regular photos of her at events, but there is another side of me that says she doesn't have to put up with all these rumours/criticisms/crap that VS publicity has brought to her recently.

I think for me the most disappointing thing is seeing her at events and getting the impression she doesn't give two craps anymore. I used to be floored at her style/makeup/hair etc. at any event (not just VS), but nowadays she's not putting any originality into her outfits/style anymore. (Compare past award shows/launches/parties with the recent ones from Cancun Moda Nextel and Bambi Awards). That is my ONLY current criticism of her.

Anyway...found these two articles on NYMAG the Cut

Being a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Model Doesn’t Sound Fun

http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2008/12/bei...ml#comment-list

You know what's on TV tonight, don't you? The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! (10 p.m., CBS.) We've already seen pictures from the whole spectacle since it was taped on November 15 — a considerably long delay for this Internet age. Somehow the New York Post managed to withhold tales from backstage at the show until today. They hung out with Karolina Kurkova, who is still being criticized for her weight. To prepare for the show, Karolina works out for three hours a day and cuts out carbohydrates and wheat. Fun. Her regular diet is no picnic, either. She says it consists of green juice, hard-boiled eggs, grilled fish, vegetables, and ten nuts at a time (yes, she counts them). Still, a woman at the show tells the Post reporter, "She really porked out … It's good she dropped a little bit of weight, but really…" But really, shouldn't we embrace curves? Don't These Economic Times and the era of change create the perfect moment to usher in a new ideal model shape, like that of Daisy Lowe? When so many people are going without and cutting back, is it not more chic to look opposite? Or, at the very least, normal? Because that's how Karolina looks — normal. God forbid.

BACKSTAGE SECRETS BEHIND THE BRASSIERES AT THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW

KAROLINA Kurkova is fat.

Now, you might not be able to tell this watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show tonight (10 p.m. on CBS) from the comfort of your apartment, but I was in Miami for the taping last month, so I know.

The woman sitting next to me at the show said so.

"She really porked out," whispered the woman - no great prize herself. "It's good she dropped a little bit of weight, but really..."

POP VIDEO QUIZ: Hot Babes

This about the girl who just told us she keeps trim by drinking a special juice concoction twice a day and snacking on precisely

10 nuts.

"I eat very clean and fresh. I wake up and I have a green juice with a little protein powder and glutamine mixed in. Then two hours later I have two hard-boiled eggs," says Kurkova, hiking up her printed wrap dress and plopping down on the concrete floor next to us.

"Then, two or three hours later I'll have 10 nuts, like walnuts or almonds. Then I'll have grilled fish with vegetables and salads. And then again, a green juice. I just keep it simple."

Her preshow ritual is a little more intense. We're talking no carbs, no wheat and three hours of exercise a day.

Honestly, we can't feel too bad for her.

We'd be pretty happy with nuts too if we were raking in mad cash for a few hours on a runway.

For her ninth show, Kurkova joined Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosia and a bunch of other heifers on the glitter runway in an impressive collection of elaborate ribbon wings, teeny-tiny thongs and leather harnesses for the annual panty-raid held this year at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Resort.

And this year, she's no angel.

"I have no wings, thank God," Kurkova exclaims.

"Those things are heavy! Last year they weighed like 30 pounds and took four people to strap it to me. And then I had to carry it on my little body, in 7-inch heels while walking on an uneven sparkly runway while Seal was performing."

It must have been the Seal-singing that really made things tough.

Watch tonight for Kurkova's three outfits: a goddess-inspired lace push-up bra and thong, Juliette Meurisse feather cuff and a brown leather harness by Fleet Ilya; a vintage teddy with matching panties under an iridescent organza gown covered in delicate handmade flowers; and a scarlet bustier with a dramatic floor-length layered ruffled train.

"I love anything that's a character outfit," she says.

"When it's not just about being pretty."

We're thinking, "We hate it when it's just about being pretty, too!" as Kurkova walks us through the backstage area where all the Angels assemble for hair, makeup and wardrobe.

And then we notice the sumptuous buffet lining the wall, untouched.

Kurkova's - and we're guessing millions of red-blooded American men's - past show favorites include a sexy stewardess look, a sultry soldier and the time she got to wear the coveted million-dollar bra.

"I like the goddess look because it's beautiful, strong and a little dangerous," she says while holding the leather harness against her body and eyeing the assigned undies. "Oh! They're very little!"

Too bad she's so fat.

Shame on the people who are saying such cruel things about Karolina. She has been a mainstay for so long and for some reason, just is getting picked on really bad. I hope it's not a case of getting rid of one blonde to make room for another one of VS's picks..... :ninja:
