Models

Brazil has no shortage of great asses, but they do crown their best ... and 2016 has its winner.

Meet Erika Canela ... all of Erika Canela. The 20-year-old model took 1st place last month at Miss Bumbum -- a Brazilian pageant where more than 17 million people vote. She's also the first black woman to win in its 6 year run.

If you thought Bella Hadid looked awesome at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, you're right -- but it gets even better without all the fancy lingerie.

Hadid is featured on the cover of PAPER Mag's Outspoken issue, and to say she looks comfortable flaunting just about everything would be an understatement.

Big mistake, The Weeknd. Huge.

Gigi Hadid and a bunch of other best dressed celebs cleaned up real nice for an award/fashion show in London.

They were all out Monday night for The Fashion Awards (yeah, that's a thing) -- Lady Gaga, Karlie Kloss and Kate Moss were all done up ... along with Nicole Scherzinger, who showed up in the bare minimum.

Gigi gave a heartfelt acceptance speech after winning International Model of the Year ... and got the waterworks started in the middle of it.

Jennifer Pandul's beach workout doesn't feature much cardio, but there's a lot of bending, stretching and stripping down to a tiny outfit ... so we endorse it.

The model was gettin' fit at Santa Monica beach by the pier, and eventually decided wearing a shirt was not necessary.

Irina Shayk isn't letting a possible baby bump get in the way of molding wet clay.

The Russian model recreated the famous pottery scene from "Ghost" for Love Magazine's Advent calendar shoot ... and she's got everyone wondering if she's working that potter's wheel for 2.

The debate in our office -- on the heels of her rumored pregnancy -- is that a baby bump or not? Do her boobs look bigger than usual?

Better watch again to be sure.

Good news for Julian Edelman ... the New England Patriots star is finally a dad -- after Swedish model Ella Rose gave birth to their daughter last night!

We're told Edelman flew to L.A. on Wednesday morning so he could be by her side for the birth ... and fortunately, things worked out!

8 pound, 5 ounce Lily was born on Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai in L.A., as first reported by the Boston Globe.

Ella had filed paternity docs back in July naming Edelman as the father. We're told the two are on good terms but are NOT on romantic terms. They've sort of been friends with benefits for the past few years.

Our sources say Julian is committed to co-parenting the kid and being a good dad.

We're told Julian will be back in Boston either tonight or tomorrow and is planning to play against the Rams on Sunday.

Congrats!

UPDATE -- Edelman's back in Boston and already with the team.

Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid made themselves thoroughly hateable Wednesday night in Paris by scarfing down burgers and mac 'n' cheese.

It's what models do after a big event like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... nourishing their starved bodies with the greasiest of food ... then washing it all down with margaritas.

In your pretty faces.

Kendall, Gigi, Adriana, Lily, Bella, Alessandra and co. are off and strutting for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... and it's got an awesomely dark and sexy twist this year.

Most of the models are sporting lingerie that seems way more S&M inspired for the Dark Angel theme -- and ain't a damn thing wrong with this dark side.

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd are performing -- and he got a big smile out of his supposed ex, Bella, during dress rehearsal. Who says breaking up is hard to do?

Mohamed and Yolanda Hadid are living every parent's dream -- off to Paris to watch their daughters flaunt their talents ... in lingerie.

Gigi and Bella Hadid's folks couldn't hide their smiles at LAX as they jetted off for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show ... where Bella's making her debut at the lingerie line's biggest event.

Mohamed and Yolanda aren't the least bit nervous for their little rookie.

As for the girls -- they jetted off Sunday aboard the GREATEST flight. Ever.

Ashley Graham put a sexy new spin on the Mannequin Challenge -- laying down on the job.

Might not sound impressive, but Ashley was smack in the middle of her glam squad during a photo shoot with retailer Addition Elle. Okay, physically it doesn't look that tough ... still, it's very easy on the eyes.

Instagram model Alexis Ren and her ex-bf Jay Alvarrez, also a model, crushed millions of their sappy fans when they broke up -- but they can take heart ... Alexis looks totally fine now.

We got the bubbly chick after her 20th birthday dinner at Delilah in WeHo, and she dropped some solid career advice ... if Instagram fame is your game.

Not much on the romance front here, but Alexis did say Thanksgiving's a good holiday for cheating ... diet-wise, anyway.

Something tells us Joanna Krupa's RIDICULOUS body will not be adversely affected by whatever Thanksgiving feast she's about to have -- unlike the rest of us.

The ex-'Real Housewife' took a dip on Miami Beach in a two-piece that was clinging hard to her assets. Well played, bikini ... well played.

Cara Delevingne was devastated when her dog died 2 years ago ... and didn't look much happier this week when she got a postmortem print of the pup.

Artist Andrew Gonzalez gave Cara a digitally made portrait of her French Bulldog, Mouse, this past Thursday -- where he's seen on a cloud with a pair of wings ... eating bacon.

Gonzalez had given Cara a portrait of herself in 2014, right around the time Mouse passed. This time, he says security let him hand the newest one off to her personally before the opening of the Westfield World Trade Center H&M store in NYC.

He says Cara almost broke out in tears, telling him she'd hang it up at home -- and thanking him with a hug. From the looks of her face, though, we're guessing she was less excited than last time.

Ireland Baldwin looks to be working on a full sleeve of tattoos, but her ink got upstaged by the rest of her bod when she posed on a Hawaiian beach.

The 21-year-old model rolled around in the surf, sand and her lingerie for the shoot.

Ashley Graham isn't shy about size and neither is her new Barbie.

Ashley was leaving Avalon in Hollywood when she gave us the download on Mattel's new anatomically correct homage. Skinny chicks might be busy 'minding the gap' ... but Ashley says she insisted on keeping it real when it comes to her doll's legs.

Message to future Kens: Witness the thickness.

Kate Upton is FURIOUS Justin Verlander didn't win the A.L. Cy Young Award -- sending a scorching note to the MLB writers who voted on it ... YOU F**KED MY FIANCE.

Verlander came in 2nd in the voting behind Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello -- despite the fact Justin had more 1st place votes.

FYI -- the Cy Young voting system is weighted. Writers fill in a name for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place -- a 1st place vote is worth 7 points. 2nd is worth 4, 3rd is worth 3, 4th is 2 and 5th is 1.

Verlander had 14 1st place votes. Rick had 8 ... but Rick beat Verlander out in the overall scoring.

Enter Upton who went all scorched Earth on the process.

"Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to f**k @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?"

"He had the majority of 1st place votes and 2 writers didn't have him on their ballots?!! can you pick more out of touch people to vote?@MLB"
