Television and film

Curry appeared on 's From Russia with Love. The show documents her trip to Russia. It is set to air in November 2007. She has also starred in the films Fallen Angels, Light Years Away and "Jack Rio".
America's Next Top Model has dissociated itself from Curry (and vice versa), having not mentioned her in any episodes since Season 2 (where she guest-starred in an episode). This was reportedly due to Curry criticizing Top Model and Tyra Banks for not delivering the promised prizes she won. Banks then retaliated by removing Curry from the show. Curry revealed on the America's Next Top Model E! True Hollywood Story that she has "never regretted anything more in her life, it was very immature".
In early 2005, Curry appeared on VH1's fourth season of The Surreal Life. After the season ended, Curry and fellow house guest Christopher Knight began dating, and later moved in together. On September 11, 2005, VH1 began airing My Fair Brady, a show that documented their life together and paid her an estimated US $450,000. The show led her to being featured in Maxim's Hot 100, a list of the "hottest" women on earth.[2] and ranked #100 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2005.[3] Season 3 of My Fair Brady began airing on January 21, 2008 and focused on Curry's breast enhancement surgery and Knight's competing (and contrary) desire to start a family. In the season finale, Curry tossed her birth control pills away while they were on a 2nd honeymoon in Hawaii. She recently said, however, that she is not pregnant at the present time.
Nvidia used Curry as the model in their 3D rendering demo (pictured below). The demo was designed to show off the power of their Geforce 8800 and 8600 series products. The demo is downloadable and will run with purchase of those products.

Personal life
Knight proposed to Curry on the season finale of the show, which aired on November 6, 2005. The show was renewed for a second season, and focused on the couple's wedding preparations. The second season began airing on VH1 in June 2006. The couple wed in Curry's hometown of Joliet on May 29, 2006 in a gothic-style wedding. Says Curry of the goth-themed ceremony, "I wanted to go as Gothic as I could and as traditional as I could without ruffling anyone's feathers. ... I wanted to have a black dress ... but I knew it would break my grandmother's heart."[4]
