What's buzzing around the web.

Bundchen was the first-ever model to cover Harper's Bazaar Brazil's inaugural issue.  The magazine celebrates its first birthday by bringing back the two super stars who made the first cover possible - Bundchen and Terry Richardson. The pregnant Bundchen glows with a radiant smile as she holds a bunch of metallic balloons. Richardson shot Gisele once again, adding his signature vibrant high contrast touch - this is one of his less-raunchy works.

The inside photos don't reveal Bundchen's baby bump - the star has been on bump watch for months. The super model apparently shot the issue before she started showing in July - it's either that or good Photoshop.

Bundchen is definitely a world-class beauty. The Brazilian model has graced the glossy pages of fashion magazines all around the world. But did you know that she was once one of the most unwanted models in the industry? It was renowned photographer Mario Testino who discovered the tall and curvy model and propelled her into a household name.

"Nobody liked her, nobody wanted her," Testino told the Observer. "I had to fight to get her into my stories because nobody thought she was right - too this, too that, the nose, the breasts, the waist. But I believe in being obsessed, in getting obsessed."
