Her travelogue starts in Denmark where her parents instill in her an unflinching spirit of independence. Instinctively Rie understands femininity is not about weakness but about power, specifically power that moves with grace. On a visit to New York she is scouted. Then the story swings to the sun flooded expanses of California where Rie goes off to the HFI film school joining forces with this no holds American boy named Travis Marshall. In her incarnation as a model Rie ricochets from New York to Paris, from Milan and to London. That narrative entangles forces and brands as disparate as the Prada runway and the VS runway, stints as the face of Gucci, Fendi and Donna Karan and on-set time with all those boldfaced names: Avedon, Meisel, Klein, Mert n Marcus. 

 

 I love a woman with no regrets. It just means when she does something she won't turn around and either deny what transpired or take it back. A woman with no regrets will hold herself accountable for her actions and accept the consequences. Drea Avent is a woman who has no regrets. Her life as a sports reporter is a living dream and like she says, “Things happen for a reason all the time and there is always something to be learned; even from bad things.”

The only thing better than a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman who can do your homework for you.  There are thousands of hot babes worth staring at, but only a handful of those babes can fix your blender, speed-alphabetize your DVD collection, and explain the inner-workings of a thermonuclear reactor in three different languages.  Those are the babes you need to hang on to, and we're here to help.  When it comes to super-smart hotties, we've compiled the cream of the crop.  Check out these 10 Brilliant Babes:

JENNIFER CONNELLY

Where You've Seen Her:  Tons of movies, like Career Opportunities, Labyrinth, Rocketeer, A Beautiful Mind, Dark City, Requiem For A Dream, Hulk, Blood Diamond, and many more.

Why She's Hot:  To sum it up in one word: Captivating eyes, beautiful smile, killer body, and great personality.  Okay, I guess it's impossible to sum it up in one word. 

Look At How Smart She Is:  She studied English at Yale for two years, then transferred to Stanford to finish her studies.  Oh, and she's also fluent in Italian and French, so when you express your undying love for her, she can tell you in three languages that she's happily married with two kids.
