Just bought the copy of Notorious Magazine with them on the cover off eBay, figured I'd post the interview. I'll put up the pictures when I can get my hands on a scanner - Tico in a fashion spread is less hilarious than it should be.

Tico & Eva: High Fashion. Rock & Roll. Hot Monogamy.

"What's with all these rock stars marrying all these models?' asked Britain's top social critic Ben Elton at Montreal's annual "Just for Laughs" festival. Every time he sees them en masse at openings or concerts, he can't help recalling that scene from Fantasia where the buckets dance with the mops.

Well, no one would be crazy enough to confuse Czech-born supermodel Eva Herzigova, 24, and Cuban-born Tico Torres, 44, the drummer for Bon Jovi, with cleaning utensils. Lovers from a French classic like Breathless, possibly. Compatriots of Lemon Power Fantastik, never.

Married just over a year, Herzigova, who gained fame sporting the Wonderbra in ads, and Torres, who played drums for the likes of Chuck Berry, Pat Benatar, Miles Davis and Cher before joining what was to become one of the world's most successful rock bands, seem to be spurring each other on to even greater heights and diversifications. Herzigova made her film debut in 1995, in Les Agnes Gardiens with Gerard Depardieu, and Torres is now a respected painter exhibiting his work internationally.

His art is so popular that at the time we went to press, $30,000 of the paintings that he had lent to Spike Lee for Lee's latest film had been stolen from a truck while being transported to the set. Luckily, the works of his owned by serious collectors such as Bono, Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield, Ron Perlman, Donald Trump and numerous others are still in safe hands.

Profits from his creative output, especially from "The Majors Collection" (exact life-casts of the actual grips of golfers who have won a major tournament, including Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman), go to the Tico Torres Foundation for Children that, according to his publicist, provides help to the young suffering from poverty, AIDS, and other diseases.

When not in career mode, Herzigova and Torres spend much of their time being romantic. A good example is that the duo spent their honeymoon on safari in Africa, where Torres almost put the kibosh on his new spouse.

"I gave her too many malaria pills. I [soon] figured out that you're supposed to take one a week, not one a day. She thought I was trying to kill her," Torres notes.

"I was getting dizzy. I couldn't see. I couldn't sleep. I was throwing up," Herzigova adds.

The honeymoon became even more memorable when a baby elephant started chasing their car.

"He came over with ears going like that and with feet going like this, then he started running after us," Herzigova says as she acts out the scene. "That was scary, but also beautiful."

"I would have saved you," the drummer/artist comforts. "All you have to say is ''um-gah-wah' and it goes away."

When at home - they have three houses, one each in Monaco, New York, and New Jersey - the two spend nearly all their time shopping for household goods. Well, that causes them to travel, too. Next stop is Mexico for doors and, soon after, Morocco for lamps. But doesn't such a full existence cause a bit of stress or a bit of nervousness over the future?

Not for Herzigova.

"You know, life is so short, and life is so unexpected that you never know what's going to happen. We have stupid little fights, but - "

"We always try to have a conversation about whatever," Torres adds. "When you have two people, I don't care who they are, there are the times and tribulations where all ain't that great. Sometimes you go, 'I don't like you today.'"

"Yeah, exactly," Herzigova agrees. But the two always make up.
