Checking in with Kelly Brook

It has been some time since we looked at British glamour model (and "star" of the highly anticipated (at least by me) Piranha 3-D), which is a real shame, because not only does she have a killer bikini body:

She's also not the ditsy airhead you might imagine her to be. She not only knows how to make money from her modeling, her lingerie line, her perfume, her celebrity appearances, and her acting--she knows how to manage it, a rare quality in any celebrity.

Since we last checked in with her she has had a successful run starring in Calendar Girls in London, and been voted the seventh sexiest woman by FHM's British readers (American poll results get announced later this month). She has also agreed to pose naked for Playboy (for a half million pounds).

Her most recent ad campaign is, well, I'll let it speak for itself:



And can you believe that in Britain there was a public outcry because her buns were too small in the poster advertising her role in a London production of Calendar Girls?
And she promises good things for Piranha: "It’s just a big, fun B-movie - lots of boobs, blood, gore and drama."

I don't think we can ask for more than that.
