WHO IS SHE?:

Curvaceous, Colombia-born TV star Sofía Vergara is an international sensation, although you might not know it yet. The longtime Miami resident broke into American film with a pivotal role in the movie Big Trouble opposite Jason Lee. Recently relocated to LA, she's raising the heat as the co-star of the new hit comedy Chasing Papi.

WHAT HAS SHE DONE?:

Her appeal as co-host of Univision's travel series Out of this World led to Sofía becoming host of her own stunt show, I Dare You, which became the highest-rated Latino show in the world in 1999. She's sold hundreds of thousands of her sexy swimsuit calendars. The busty 30-year-old has been romantically implicated with everyone in the entertainment industry from Tom Cruise to P. Diddy by the British tabloids. She's currently starring as a Lara Croft-like character in a series of popular Visa commercials airing in Asia.

WHY DO WE CARE?:

The tabloids dubbed her "Sofía Viagra" for good reason.
Playboy.com: You hosted the highest-rated Latino show in the world, you make magazines' "Most Beautiful" top 10 lists and you're credited with being the most downloaded Latina in history. Are you aspiring to dethrone J.Lo as America's Latin diva?
Sofí Vergara: No, you can't compare us. I don't sing. She's been here for so long. With all that she has done, she's opened so many doors for Latinas. I guess we have to thank her.
PB: How do you feel about the tabloid nickname "Sofía Viagra"?
SV: They don't know me. They're just judging me from the pictures, I guess.
PB: They always describe you as a 36DD. Are those your real measurements?
SV: Me? No! I'm a 32D. And I'm completely natural! Well, now I am, but maybe in 10 years....
PB: England's The Daily Record alleged that you and Tom Cruise had an affair while he was dating Penelope Cruz.
