Irina Shayk, Sexiest Woman Alive?

Russian Bombshell Irina Shayk Loves Tight Leather Pants

Irina Shayk.

Irina Shayk (born January 6, 1986) is a Russian model and actress. She is sometimes credited as Irina Sheik, and was born Irina Shaykhlislamova. One can see why the beauteous Irina shortened her name to make it easier on us mere mortals to pronounce.

Irina Shayk is not a household name with lots of notoriety or an aggressive figure, but anyone with eyes can see her natural charm.

Irina was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, in the Ural Mountains just north of Kazakhstan. It is an old coal mining town, and is pretty much as remote as it sounds.

Irina Shayk is of ethnic Tatar and Russian background, and her dark complexion is not unusual for that region of Russia.

Irina went to a local beauty school after high school, where a modeling agency noticed her and encouraged Irina to enter a "Miss Chelyabinsk 2004" beauty contest. Irina entered and won.

From there, Irina Shayk has gone on to adorn the covers of magazines around the world. She began appearing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2007, and graced the cover in 2011.




Irina Shayk is signed with IMG, and her covers include numerous international glamour magazines such as "Woman," "Paris Capital" and "Bolero."

There is a serious body of opinion that says Irina Shayk is the most beautiful woman in the world. Kanye West picked her to appear in his "Power" video, and she met erstwhile boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo while modelling underwear at Armani Exchange.

Cristiano, of course, is perhaps the world's best-known soccer player, and those guys don't fool around when choosing their Wives and Girlfriends. If you have any question about Cristiano's own celebrity - he currently sits at 4th on the list of all-time most Instagram followers, with about 110 million. The only accounts that ever have had more than Cristiano are those of Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande... and @Instagram itself.

The power couple stayed together for several years, too, which speaks well of Irina. She has been on various "Sexiest" lists, and was once named "Sexiest Woman in the World" by a Hungarian magazine.

Irina has set up shop in the West Village of New York Street, so she obviously means to pursue her modelling career in the States, where the real action is these days.

She also has begun branching out into acting, with an appearance in "Hercules" a Dwayne Johnson film directed by Brett Ratner released on July 25, 2014.

Irina has done a little television acting in addition to the occasional film role. She was in television series "Inside Amy Schumer" (2016) and "Love Advent" (2015-2016).

Irina voiced Mila Belova on video game "Need for Speed: The Run" in 2011.

Irina had a daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, with actor Bradley Cooper on March 21, 2017.

Irina was No. 4 on Maxim magazine's 2014 "Hot 100" list.

Irina has an Instagram account for herself, Cooper and daughter Lea.

I love traveling. I hate jet lag, but I love, love, love, love traveling, to meet new people, to try different foods because I'm a big foodie.

Yes, there are several different versions of this shot here - it's worth it.

Stay away from the sun and remember the skin on a woman's neck, hands and face is sensitive and ages easily, so apply a high SPF sunscreen on those areas.

My ideal man is faithful, honest, and a gentleman who knows how to treat women.

I travel around the world, and there are so many beautiful girls, but that's not going to make you a supermodel. You have to have something more than just a pretty face.

Sometimes I wake up and think I look horrible. And sometimes I see a strong woman.

Sandra Bullock, "Speed" and "The Proposal" Star

Sandra Bullock Brings The Heat to Leather

Sandra Bullock.

Sandra Annette Bullock (born July 26, 1964) is an American actress, producer, restaurant owner and occasional model. She has been a fixture in Hollywood for a quarter of a century, and is claimed to be world's highest-paid actress.

Sandra Bullock successfully carries films of all kinds, and won an Academy Award for "The Blind Side" (2009). She remains at the top of the Hollywood heap.

Sandra was born just outside Washington, D.C., in Arlington, Virginia. She is of English, Irish, German and French ancestry. She is fluent in German, and spent a great deal of time in Europe while accompanying her mother, a German opera singer, on tour.

As a teenager, Sandra took acting classes with Sanford Meisner and appeared off-broadway in "No Time Flat." The director, Alan J. Levi, liked her performance and later cast her in his television movie "Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman" (1989).

Sandra Bullock with Sylvester Stallone in "Demolition Man."

That role lead to a string of leading roles, such as "Love Potion No. 9" (1992) and "Demolition Man" (1993). The latter film with Sylvester Stallone has become a cult classic. While her role in "Demolition Man" was fairly small, Sandra stunned in her brisk portrayal of a futuristic cop. Sandra Bullock was on her way.

Sandra's true breakthrough, though, came in "Speed" (1994), in which she starred as a passenger who must drive a bus above a certain speed to prevent a bomb from going off.

After that, the door was open to fantastic leading roles for Sandra Bullock. She starred in classics such as "While You Were Sleeping" (1995), "Miss Congeniality" (2000), "Two Weeks Notice" (2002) and "The Proposal" (2009), all successful. She began to produce her films in the late 1990s, and she was the producer of some of her bigger hits, including "Miss Congeniality," "The Proposal" (2009) and "Hope Floats" (1998). Sandra knew Donald Trump, and convinced him (and his private helicopter) to appear with her and Hugh Grant in "Two Weeks Notice."

Bullock won her Oscar for "The Blind Side" (2009), a film that she carried alone and that grossed over $300 million in the United States alone. Sandra Bullock continues to release wonderful films, such as "The Heat" (2013) and "Gravity" (2013).

Also famous for her relationships, Sandra Bullock was notably blind-sided right after winning her Oscar by news that her then-husband, Jesse James, had been cheating on her. They quickly divorced.

Sandra is known as "America's Sweetheart."

I've always been very sceptical about marriage, because I only want to do it once; I want to do it the right way.

Sandra married Jesse James in July 2005, and divorced him in June 2010. The divorce followed accusations of cheating by James. It was a difficult period for Sandra. However, she bounced back quickly, and People Magazine named her Person of the Year for 2010.

I'd rather take risks than make something that's cookie cutter.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It's what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you've lost it.

Movie sex scenes are never romantic, and you're never swept off your feet. It's always very technical. I'm counting the beats: Okay, we're supposed to kiss for two beats, then I say my line, then they want another kiss for four beats. I'm going, One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three and break. It's like choreography. Sometimes, you have actors who feel it's their job to get as far down into your throat as possible. You're like, Excuse me, I like you, but not that much.

What everyone needs is love, unconditionally.

I cry at everything now... I've become more open to surprises and feelings.

Everyone told me to pass on Speed (1994) because it was a "bus movie." 

Fame means when your computer modem is broken, the repair guy comes out to your house a little faster.

Sandra adopted baby boy Louis Bardot Bullock from New Orleans, Louisiana in April 2010.

Sandra was named to the "Most Beautiful Woman" list of People Magazine in 2015.

I don't think there's ever what could be called a "chilled state" in my head.

Sandra adopted a second child, a daughter, in 2015.

Sandra Bullock has been a big participant in charities such as the Red Cross's Liberty Disaster Relief Fund, Texas non-profit organization The Kindred Life Foundation, Inc., and through personal philanthropy.

Sandra was named to Forbes magazine's 2014 list of most powerful actresses.

Sandra Bullock's films have grossed over $5 billion worldwide.

In the United States alone, Sandra's films have grossed over $2.5 billion.

Sandra reportedly is the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.

Sandra reportedly has been dating ex model beau Bryan Randall in recent years.

It's so funny, all these references about competition. Why is there plenty of room for guys in this business and they don't pit them up against each other? It's so stupid. There's room for everybody. 

Sandra has two Best Actress nominations, most recently for "Gravity."

I don't think twice about saying, 'I'm going to buy my parents a car,' or 'I'm taking my best friends to Hawaii for two weeks.'

Sandra was the executive producer of "George Lopez" from 2002 to 2007. In essence, she discovered him:

From the time Sandy and I first laid eyes on each other, she has been nothing but a person of her word and embracing of me and my family.
