E! Entertainment Television has named Karolína Kurková as the world’s sexiest woman for 2008.
   Model Bar Rafaeli and actress Angelina Jolie took second and third places.
   Rounding off the top 10 were Gisèle Bündchen, Scarlett Johansson, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Penélope Cruz, Manuela Arcuri and Shakira.
   Kurková has been in the press lately after modelling in the 2008 Victoria’s Secret show, which was broadcast on American television. There has been press speculation over her missing navel, the result of infant surgery.
   Czech-born Kurková began modelling in 1999 at age 15, and came to most fashion followers’ notice in 2001 when she appeared on a Vogue cover.
