Hey, hey! It's time to spotlight another rising star that is quickly becoming part of the A-List celebrity landscape. Catapulting to household fame is Marisa Miller, American beauty and supermodel of the world.

For a model, it doesn't get any more mainstream than the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Just being featured in the magazine equates success, but the cover assures instant fame and recognition - especially when it's revealed with a huge billboard on the side of a building in New York during the Late Show with David Letterman!

That's exactly what happened for Marisa, who struck gold with this year's sizzling cover.

Rock On Girlfriend: Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, The Killers, Matisyahu, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Modest Mouse, Linkin Park, Jane's Addiction and The Cure are among her favorite bands.

Surfs Up: I'm always curious to know how these gorgeous babes stay fit, so I found out her favorite activity, surfing! This true Cali girl says it has become almost an addiction at this point. The more I do it, the stronger the need becomes. I feel my absolute best physically, mentally, and spiritually when I'm surfing every day.

Just remember to wear sunscreen, Marisa!

She's currently launching her own line for Vans; out this month. Already building her brand and establishing herself as one smart cookie, she's all that with brains and beauty to match.
