Where you’ve seen her:
Modeling in the pages of Maxim and other magazines, costarring in the upcoming Showtime series chromiumblue.com, and and appearing opposite the Rock and Michael Clarke Duncan in The Scorpion King, the big-screen prequel to The Mummy.

The love of the game:
“Being 5’10", I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I’d just hit the crap out of the ball. I got the nickname Spitfire for a reason—I burned inside to play volleyball. I loved the competition of it.”

Testify!
“People are taken aback by a confident, pretty girl who knows what she wants in life and isn’t going to let anyone get in her way. And you know what it’s all about? Jealousy.”

Now, where are we again?
“I’m the kind of person who just can’t wait to get on a train and not know where I’m going. I definitely want to live life to the fullest. And that’s the type of man I’m attracted to—somebody with that spontaneous spirit.”
