[edit] Television and film

Curry was a co-host on the television game show Ballbreakers. In 2006, she appeared on Gameshow Marathon as a celebrity panelist on the Match Game episode. She starred in "Rock Me Baby" (2004) and Half and Half (2003) on UPN. Curry also appeared on Dirt starring Courtney Cox, with whom she shared scenes. She appeared in rock band's The Click Five music video Just A Girl, along with husband Christopher Knight.

Curry appeared on VH1's celeb sci-fi reality show Celebrity Paranormal Project in 2006, along with her husband.

Curry appeared on WE tv's From Russia with Love. The show documents her trip to Russia. It is set to air in November 2007. She has also starred in the films Fallen Angels, Light Years Away and "Jack Rio".

America's Next Top Model has dissociated itself from Curry (and vice versa), having not mentioned her in any episodes since Season 2 (where she guest-starred in an episode), except the opening of Season 6. This was reportedly due to Curry criticizing Top Model and Tyra Banks for not delivering the promised prizes she won. Banks then retaliated by removing Curry from the show. Curry also stated that Banks was fake, claiming the supermodel was the nicest person in the world when the camera was on, but once it wasn't she became "Naomi Campbell in your face." Banks continues to shun Curry[citation needed].

In early 2005, Curry appeared on VH1's fourth season of The Surreal Life. After the season ended, Curry and fellow house guest Christopher Knight began dating, and later moved in with each other. On September 11, 2005, VH1 began airing My Fair Brady, a show that documented their life together and paid her an estimated US $450,000. The show led her to being featured in Maxim's Hot 100, a list of the "hottest" women on earth.[2] and ranked #100 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2005.[3]. Knight proposed to Curry on the season finale of the show, which aired on November 6, 2005. The show was renewed for a second season, and focused on the couple's wedding preparations. The second season began airing on VH1 in June 2006. The couple wed in Curry's hometown of Joliet on May 29, 2006 in a gothic-style wedding. Says Curry of the goth-themed ceremony, "I wanted to go as Gothic as I could and as traditional as I could without ruffling anyone's feathers. ... I wanted to have a black dress ... but I knew it would break my grandmother's heart."[4] Season 3 of My Fair Brady 3 is began airing on January 21, 2008 and focused on Adrianne's breast enhancement surgery and Christopher's competing (and contrary) desire to start a family. In the season finale, Adrianne tossed her birth control pills away while they were on a 2nd honeymoon in Hawaii. She recently said, however, that she is not pregnant at the present time.

Nvidia used Curry as the model in the 3D rendering demo in the picture shown above. The demo was designed to show off the power of their Geforce 8800 and 8600 series products. The demo is downloadable and will run with purchase of those products.
