More than a Nina out of 10

Nina's vida loca

When we think of sultry brunette Nina Moric for some reason Can You Feel It? by the Jackson 5 comes into our heads. Simple answer: not in this life time, but we can dream. With binoculars.

Although this jet-setting supermodel now roosts - yes, roosts - in Italy, she kicked off life, and her career in Croatia.

After figuring out that it was more fun to be a lusted after super sex bomb rather than a lawyer, she wheeled her perfectly formed bod into the Miss Croatia comp and walked off with the tiara.

A string of other modelling prizes followed before Nina landed what was – in the late 90s – a coveted position; cosying up to leather-trousered pop star Ricky Martin in a little known video called Livin' La Vida Loca.

Now all you may remember of that video might be Ricky's permatan, dyed white teeth and the repeating phrase 'gigolo' in your brain, but Nina was also Rick's main on-screen squeeze, draping herself all over his gyrating bits in a quest for fame. Now who feels dirty?

Blanket coverage (metaphorical, luckily) on MTV almost landed Nina a part in The Mask 2 with a panting Jim Carrey personally chasing her for the role, but it wasn't to be.

Since then she's pitched up in Italy, where she hosts TV shows and recorded a single that took an immediate swan dive to the bottom of the bargain bin.

But, when you have a posterior tighter than Gordon Brown's tax breaks and more deadly to male self-control than a sale in Dixons, who needs a singing career?

Nina knows where her head's at - on top of a mighty fine package: "I don't see myself as a sexy girl, but I do like my breasts. They're great."

What's Croatian for "yes, they are"?
