Tricia Helfer

Where you’ve seen her:
This former model (Elle, Victoria’s Secret) earned big notices after playing a robot on an episode of CSI. She now continues that theme by playing Number Six, a hot robot chick in the upcoming Sci Fi Channel miniseries remake of ’70s space favorite Battlestar Galactica.

Weight a minute!
“I think I sort of blossomed, so to speak, around 17. I started to get hips and put on weight, which I was very happy about. And that’s when I met this agent, who told me I had to lose 10 pounds. I said, ‘You’ve gotta be kidding me. I finally got it on—I’m not losing it!’”

Finger-lickin’ good:
“Hands are a big thing for me. Those are my trigger points. I really like them to be manly.”

League of gentleman:
“I’ve never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they’re trying to pull one over on me. I lump Canada and the States together. I like good old North American boys.”
