If he happens to look familiar, it is because you have seen a lot of Rafael Lazzini here and here (or perhaps you may even remember his campaign for TNG with Naomi). The Brazilian model was seen this season on the runway for Ricardo Almeida, Mario Queiroz, Lino Villaventura, and Cavalera. Click here to take a look at his book at Ford.

Last night 22-year-old Leandro Lopes was voted the first Brazilian Idol through the show's franchise in the country, aired by SBT. The cute kid from Rio was a favorite from the beginning. Leandro will sign a recording contract with Sony/ BMG, and will go on tour soon. I wish I could have watched it to provide more feedback. Thanks to modern technology tough, there are two of his performances after the jump.

It seems like Rodrigo Santoro is not the only hot Brazilian making its way to American TV: according to Glamurama, Victoria's Secret angel Alessandra Ambrósio just taped a cameo for "Entourage" on HBO. I have a feeing Jeremy Piven is not complaining. I am hooked on the show this season BTW.
