Karolina Kurkova, voted Sexiest Woman in the World by E!, has come under intense scrutiny for her recent weight gain, with some press reports calling her “too fat.”

The 24-year-old was reportedly kept off pre-show press materials for the 2008 Victoria’s Secret fashion show because the final decision to let her strut her stuff wasn’t made until the last minute.

According to an insider, the Czech beauty’s weight issues are caused by a medical condition that affects 27 million Americans – the thyroid disorder hypothyroidism.

Although Kurkova has definitely put on a little weight, I think calling her “fat” is a stretch.

Take a look at the photos and video below and let us know what you think.

Video and pictures from the Cia Maritima fashion show in Sao Paula where Kurkova was labeled “too fat” can be seen below. She opens and closes the show, and and a third walk can be seen at 7:35. This is the point photo stills were taken, pointing out Karolina’s back fat and cellulite.

Czech born model Karolina Kurkova has been dubbed the Sexiest Woman in the World by E! entertainment television. We have to applaud their choice because “she of the mysterious belly button” is definitely at the top of anyone’s list. The recent super sexy 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show definitely showcased Kurkova’s assets to the Nth degree.

Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino said: “The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who would fit into almost any moment.” Marc Jacobs has said: “She has an angelic look with a dark side, she’s sweet and fun and looks like she could be an evil bewitching child.”

Coming in second spot is equally stunning Bar Rafaeli. The rest of the field, in the order of their 2008 ranking, are Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen, Scarlett Johansson, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz, Manuela Arcuri and Shakira.
