Who's the next Sofia Vergara?

Since my "intelligent women under 35" thread seemed to have received a little interest, I thought I would try another one, and an more interested in hearing the perspective of those that live (or have lived) in the country in terms of which "stars/models/tv personalities" have credibility and intelligence and which ones are viewed as "airheads" or "silicone dolls." Which one of these women is seen by her countrymen as the most intelligent and the one they are most proud of (for instance, when I was there, EVERYONE mentioned Renteria, Cabrera, Shakira, Juanes and Carlos Vives).

CANDIDATES...
Natalia Paris Gaviria
Ana Sofia Henao
Adriana Catano
Catalina Aristizabal
Catalina Maya
Claudia Bahamon
Paola Rey
Sandra Munoz
Tatiana de los Rios
Amada Perez
Catherine Daza Manchola
Paola Jaramillo
Paola Andrea Betancurt
Carolina Gomez
Mariana Rios

There are some other names I came across, but they are a little older...Lady Noriega (hopefully no relation to Manuel!), Lorena Forteza, Lorna Paz, Ana Maria Orozco, Carolina Sabino and Angie Cepeda, who I've actually heard of (I think).
