When you have a family as large and culturally diverse as Raquel Gibson's, your passport soaks up a lot of ink . "My mom is Filipino, and my dad is Italian," she says. "I'm the baby of the family- the spoiled one- and I have five siblings from the ages of 21 to 43. Although the 20-year-old has always called Florida home, she often jets to the Philippines and Japan, where her family live. "I'm fluent in Tagalog, which is a language of the Philippines, and I know a little Japanese," she says.

As she tosses some Tagalog at us, we can't help but notice her resemblance to another exotic beauty. "It's flattering to be told that I look like Jessica Alba," she says. "It started when Dark Angel came out. I don't watch much TV, so I said, 'Who is that? I figured it out when she became better known. My friends say I should sign autographs when people ask if I'm her."
