Model/actress Nikki Schieler began her quick rise to stardom when she worked as a dental hygienist and was discovered by a modeling scout. A short time after appearing in fashion and swimsuit catalogues, the model went on to bigger and better things. A career boost came when on July 4, 1997, the California native married actor Ian Ziering of the hit TV show Beverly Hills: 90210. Later that year, she would go on to grace the pages of Playboy magazine as Playmate of the Month, Miss September.

After Playboy, she landed a gig modeling on "The Price Is Right", which lasted for three years. Since then she has gotten small roles in the films Austin Powers in Goldmember, National Lampoon's Gold Diggers, and American Wedding. In addition to guest appearances on such TV series as "V.I.P.", "Pacific Blue", Silk Stalkings and The Young and the Restless, she has recently gone on to star in reality series such as I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here and "Celebrity Boot Camp".

During halftime of the 2005 Super Bowl, the 5' 9" blonde bombshell was the quarterback of the winning team in Pay-Per-View's Lingerie Bowl, a short football game played by scantily clad beauties that serves as a titillating alternative to the big game's actual halftime show.

After marrying Ziering she went by the name Nikki Schieler Ziering, but in 2002 husband Ian filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." Since then she has gone by just Nikki Ziering. Her measurements are 36-23-35.
