Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7
The villa just got hotter and a little tenser. Enter Andreina Santos, the radiant, runway-ready bombshell who just strutted into Love Island USA season 7 like she owns the place. And quite frankly? She might. The 24-year-old model is the latest curveball thrown into the villa following a mess of emotional recouplings, romantic casualties, and enough sideways glances to fill an entire season of The Real Housewives. But unlike some of the filler contestants we've seen crumble under villa pressure, Andreina came armed: with beauty, brains, and the calm confidence of someone who already knows she's the main character, even if she entered late. Andreina isn't just 'the new girl.' She's a global model with a career that has seen her zig-zag across continents, working with brands, killing runways, and building a polished, highly curated social media presence that screams expensive. With shoots that drip in style and finesse, and a face that looks genetically engineered for high fashion, Andreina has been building her brand long before she stepped foot into the Love Island villa. While the other islanders were arguing over who kissed who under what blanket, Andreina was balancing school and snapping professional-grade photos for her modeling portfolio. She's not just some pretty girl looking for airtime, she's been putting in the work. And the villa? It's just another campaign. Her Instagram serves body goals: carefully lit shots, editorial poses, styled shoots, and a vibe that falls somewhere between Vogue runway princess and effortlessly luxe It Girl. She knows her angles, her light, her audience. The girl is giving content and you will deal. Unfortunately for Andreina, she didn't walk into paradise, she walked into hell week. The villa has just been shaken by the breakup of Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown, a relationship that had been teetering on emotional fumes. Now, Huda's single, steaming, and dangerously competitive. And with fellow bombshell TJ Palma arriving alongside Andreina, the island just became a battlefield. It's giving smize and sabotage, and honestly? We're here for it. Both Andreina and Huda have their eyes on TJ, and while Huda may have tenure, Andreina is the shiny new toy. What she lacks in pre-established alliances, she makes up for in mystique. The guys may say they're satisfied in their matches, but we've seen what happens when a bombshell walks in. All that loyalty talk flies out faster than a recoupling text. Coming in right after the season's most emotionally intense recoupling was a bold move and maybe a little sadistic on the producers' part, but Andreina doesn't seem fazed. She's got that 'I just flew in from Milan and I'm not here to beg' energy. Whether she's walking into a conversation or a confrontation, she carries herself with a poised aloofness that makes it clear she's not here to compete, she's the prize. And yes, she's young. But this woman knows who she is. At 24, she's already got a portfolio, a brand, and now, national exposure. What do most of the other islanders have? A couple of matching swimsuits and a ring light. Love Island is a launchpad, and Andreina is strapped in, locked on, and ready for liftoff. Even if she doesn't find her soul-swapping twin flame in the villa, Andreina is about to get the ultimate career boost. Her Instagram already reads like a portfolio. After this show? She'll be fielding partnerships with the same brands these girls are begging to tag for free bikinis. She fits in perfectly with the model-influencer hybrid ecosystem that Love Island USA has cultivated, but make no mistake, she's poised to rise above it. She doesn't need the villa to be famous. She just needed a camera crew to catch up. The post Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7 appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More.

Model makes money with unusual outdoors pursuit after horrifying dog attack left her scarred and unable to work
After a dog attack left model Gia Armani with severe facial scars, she found an unexpected path to healing and self-discovery: wood chopping. The incident in November 2017 broke her nose and profoundly impacted her modeling career, which she had built since being scouted at age 15. 'I had those scars for a long time,' Armani, 31, recently told People magazine. 'It put me out of work because, as a model, you're kind of like a human hanger - a living mannequin. So having scars on my face wasn't good for commercial work.' For nearly a year, Armani wasn't getting jobs which meant her income was gone and her future was left uncertain. This period of hardship followed years of personal challenges, including the loss of her mother to cancer, a move to rural Pennsylvania, and struggles with her weight and emotional well-being. It was during this difficult time that she began seeking new ways to be active. 'I started trying different workouts - hiking, gym sessions, home workouts, even basketball. I was always looking for active things to do,' Armani said. The incident in November 2017 broke her nose and profoundly impacted her modeling career, which she had built since being scouted at age 15. She's seen in May Her new home, which had a fireplace in every room, meant she was already purchasing firewood. 'One day, I thought - that looks like a great workout,' she recalled. And that thought ignited a new passion. After noticing some already-split wood in her yard, she asked the person responsible to teach her. 'They said, "Are you sure you want to do this?" And I was like, "Yeah - I'm going live right now and doing it."' Her livestream went viral, getting millions of views. 'It just went crazy,' Armani said. 'People didn't quite know how to react. Some loved me, some hated me - and honestly, I didn't really care.' She explained that much of the initial attention online came from viewers believing she was chopping wood incorrectly. 'When I started, I think one of the reasons I went viral was because people thought I was doing it wrong,' recalled the former model. 'They'd say, "You're swinging it wrong," or, "That's not how you chop wood." But I was intentionally doing it harder - I wanted it to be a workout.' Since that pivotal moment, Armani has fully embraced wood chopping, blending strength with fashion. Often wearing sporty, stylish outfits, she has built a significant online presence, with over 1.4 million followers on TikTok and 460,000 on Instagram. And her growth wasn't just limited to her platform. She even lost over 80 pounds and said she has become more attuned to her body. 'I never thought I would be chopping wood,' she admitted. 'It's a world of difference from being on a photo shoot and literally having someone put your shoes on.' She explained that while she has a large following, she also receives criticism sometimes - but she doesn't let it affect her. Armani has had moments where she realized her content makes a real difference - including when someone asked her for advice for someone who was feeling like they wanted to end their life. 'At first, I didn't think I was helping,' she said. 'But then I was overwhelmed by messages from people saying they were glad they found my stream that day. 'I told them, if you can't find anything positive, at least remember - life is unpredictable. So why give up?' She said she now views the attack as the catalyst for a lot of personal growth, and since beginning her woodchopping journey Armani realizes how much freedom she has - especially not being in the modeling world anymore. But she still has big dreams to return to the modeling world. 'I still manifest it all the time - I want to be in Sports Illustrated so badly,' she said. 'They don't focus on one body type. They're open to all kinds of women. 'I have stretch marks, I have loose skin from weight loss, and I've been through it - but that's exactly why I think I belong there.'

Model dies of heart attack after getting boob job in Turkey & ‘partying with her surgeon night before going under knife'
A SINGER and top model has died of a heart attack after undergoing plastic surgery in Turkey. Ana Barbara Buhr Buldrini, 31, is said to have gone under the knife just a day after she partied with her husband and the surgeon who performed on her. 5 5 Her husband Elgar Miles said the Brazilian - who had 800,000 followers on Instagram - suffered a fatal heart attack after the op. Ana, from Belo Horizonte, had travelled to Turkey with her husband to undergo the extensive liposuction, breast augmentation and rhinoplasty surgeries on May 31. Less than 24 hours after the couple had a night out on the town with the doctor. The surgery was set to take place on Wednesday, June 18, but it was instead performed on Sunday, June 15, at the doctor's request, according to reports. But there were complications and Ana Barbara passed away on June 16. Elgar said: "The doctor assured me that there were no problems and that everything would be fine." According to Ana Barbara's husband, the night before the couple went out partying. And they were accompanied by the doctor who was to perform the procedure. The couple asked the surgeon if it was safe to have the surgery hours after they all spent the night out. But he reportedly assured them that there would be no problems. Elgar also said that at around 11 pm on Sunday the surgery had beenad already been completed and the medical team said that Ana was unconscious but would soon be awake. But he noticed that his wife no longer showed signs of life. Elgar said: "They told me to go to the room, the assistants were acting strangely. "I waited for one hour and 15 minutes to see her. "I went down to the ground floor and a doctor said that her heart was beating slowly, while another said that she was already dead." 5 5 According to Elgar, the Turkish police were called to the hospital and doctors from the clinic were temporarily detained, however, they were released after providing clarification. Ana's family members have accused the doctors of medical negligence. Her brother, Bruno Buhr Buldrini, said: "The doctors rushed the process. What they did was cowardice." Elgar added: "We will transfer her body to Mozambique and seek justice, so that they pay for what they did." Ana Barbara's body is set to be cremated in Maputo on June 21. Warning over cheap Turkey ops CUT-PRICE 'too good to be true' cosmetic ops in Turkey are dangerous and need regulating, warned the UK's Health Secretary. Wes Streeting urged people to research the risks and think twice before flying abroad to get work done. He wants to work with governments of other countries to improve safety. Turkey is top destination for popular surgeries including boob jobs, tummy tucks, butt and facelifts, as it is cheaper. Seven in ten foreign cosmetic ops on Brit patients are done there. But horror stories are common and several UK women have died in recent years from complications. There are particular concerns about the safety of Brazilian butt lifts — known as the most dangerous procedure but growing in popularity. Research from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons found half of those who go abroad for cosmetic ops come to regret it. Mr Streeting said: 'We need to take very seriously medical negligence and malpractice overseas. If the offer looks too good to be true, I suspect it's too good to be true. 'Think very carefully before flying overseas and paying a rock-bottom price, because you may end up paying the consequences for years. The injuries can be life-changing.'
