Biography for Leeann Tweeden

Leeann Velez Tweeden (born Jun. 13, 1973 (39 years ago)) is an American model. Tweeden was born in Manassas, Virginia. She graduated from Osbourn Park High School in 1991 (21 years ago). Tweeden eschewed college altogether and instead pursued a career in modeling. Just two years after leaving her Virginia High school, while working as a hostess at a Hooters restaurant (she was in their 1994 (18 years ago) calendar) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she won first place in the Venus International Model Search in 1992 (20 years ago). This break led to national exposure. Tweeden modeled for promotional work for Hooters and Venus International along with Frederick's of Hollywood and Playboy.

The Mar. 2007 (5 years ago) Issue of FHM (which was the final printed US issue) features Leeann as the cover girl.

Tweeden will join the Covino and Rich show on Sirius radio 108 (Maxim Radio) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She also served as a correspondent for FOX Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period from 2000 (12 years ago) to 2007 (5 years ago). In 2008 (4 years ago), Tweeden became the third hostess of the NBC late night TV series Poker After Dark.

As part of Hooters' 25th anniversary in 2008 (4 years ago), Tweeden was named among "The Top Hooters Girls of all time".

In 2009 (3 years ago) she became the public face of the website Rethinking Autism which uses a series of videos to educate the public about autism.

She has previously been linked romantically to road racer Ben Bostrom, surfer Shane Dorian, soccer player Benjamin Ortega, and major league baseball pitcher Josh Beckett.

Career

After graduating from high school she moved to Colorado Springs to start a modeling career but landed a job at Hooters instead. In 1992 (20 years ago) she won the Venus International Model search contest and headed to LA. She then posed for Frederick's of Hollywood and became the host of the Venus Model Search for the next several years. This led to her first magazine cover, a publication named Swimwear USA. In the meantime, Tweeden maintained her relationship with Hooters and appeared in a handful of their calendars.

In 1994 (18 years ago) she made her debut as a Playboy cover girl and has also appeared in its Book of Lingerie. In 1997 (15 years ago) she mixed it up a bit and modeled for the lead character in the comic book Coven 13. She also continued to work with Playboy and Frederick's of Hollywood.

Tweeden has also had a taste of TV. She has appeared on EdenQuest, Star Search, The Vicki Lawrence Show, Entertainment Tonight, Fitness Beach and Jerry Springer. An avid dirt bike rider, Tweeden announces motocross events for Pace Motorsports twice a year. She also has her own column for the motorcycle newspaper Racer X Illustrated and hosts Bluetorch, a program that showcases extreme sports.
