Vida Guerra (born March 19, 1974 in
Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban-born American model and
occasional actress and singer. Her first notable
appearance was in a photoshoot for the U.S. edition of
FHM magazine, and since then, she has modeled for many
other men's magazines, including Playboy. She often
appears on Univision television shows and is well known
due to her larged sized rear end. Many people consider
her to have the best derriere, and she has released
videos featuring this body part.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Guerra moved with her family to
the United States soon after, ending up in the town of
Perth Amboy, New Jersey. In interviews, Vida has said
that she was teased because of the size of her rear end
,which was rather large for someone of her otherwise
small size. Growing up she entered a couple of runway
shows modeling swimwear, and appeared in a few music
videos.
Rise to fame: Her modeling career originally
began when she was cast in a lingerie spread for FHM in
December 2002. The magazine later reported that
following the submission, almost one-third of their mail
was from readers demanding more photos of Vida. She was
called back for more photo shoots and became "FHM's
Model of the Year" in 2004.
Since then, she has been featured on the
front cover as well as on the inside of many magazines,
including DUB Magazine, Smooth, Escape, and Open Your
Eyes (Abre Tus Ojos), and has made multiple appearances
on several Spanish language television programs such as
El Gordo y La Flaca (The Fat Man and the Skinny Woman).
Vida has also become a staple in music videos, appearing
in "Shake Your Tailfeather" (P. Diddy, Nelly
and Murphy Lee, from the Bad Boys 2 soundtrack) and
"The New Workout Plan" (Kanye West), in
"Obsession" (Frankie J) among others.
Additionally, she has appeared in Burger
King's Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch commercial, a
couple of sketches on Chappelle's Show, like the
infamous "Piss On You" videos (spoofing the
infamous R. Kelly sex tape), and also appeared in the
film National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2. Vida lent her voice
to the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
In April 2005, in an event reminiscent of Paris Hilton's
similar misfortunes with her mobile phone, Guerra's
camera phone was allegedly hacked. Dozens of her photos,
including nude pictures as well as personal photos, were
posted on the Internet and disseminated widely. In
interviews, Guerra said the nude body images were of
another woman, and that they were presented along with
actual non-nude camera phone images of herself to give
the appearance that she was the naked woman pictured.
However, her record label at the time maintained that
the photos were legitimate, and leaked deliberately as a
publicity stunt. Vida was dropped by the label over this
incident.
Vida was recently voted Number 26 in F.H.M's "Top
100 Sexiest Females" list and is twice the winner
of the magazine's "Best Butt" Award. To
capitalize on this fame, Guerra has made her own
calendar, featuring more pictures of her. Guerra also
appears on Primped, produced by GoTV Networks, where
Vida helps three "average" women become
"primped".
Despite not posing nude for formal photo shoots in the
past, Guerra appeared fully nude in the July 2006 issue
of Playboy. She said that she had agreed to pose partly
because she felt that they would do it with class, and
partly because, due to the hacked phone incident, she
wanted people to know what she really looked like naked,
and not confuse her with some other woman. She also
appeared in the Jan/Feb 2007 issue of FHM and Black Men
magazine.
Music career: The first track from Guerra's self
titled debut album was leaked onto the internet on
November 2, 2006. The song is titled "You Got
Me." Her CD is believed to feature Paul Wall, Mike
Jones, and a few other unconfirmed artists. It has been
reported that Vida both sings and raps on the CD. It was
voted number one on Telemundo's special, "Best New
Album Debuts."
Age: At times, Guerra's age has been reported to
be considerably lower than that given by most sources,
including magazines and some fan pages on the Internet.
FHM, the magazine that discovered Guerra and brought her
to fame, maintains in an interview with her in 2005 that
she was 25 years at the time, although her real age
according to the birthdate of 1974 would have been 31
years.
As Guerra's rise to fame came in late
2002 and early 2003, the birth date of 1974 means that
she would have been 28 years when she was discovered and
29 when having her breakthrough, this being a relatively
late age for a female model. |
