A popular Brazilian supermodel was recently photographed by Apple Computer for an advertising campaign that will plug the company's line of Intel-based Mac computers, AppleInsider has been able to confirm.

Rolling Stone cover girl Gisele Bundchen was reportedly contracted by the Cupertino, Calif.-based Mac maker for the shoot, which took place in Manhattan last week.

On her official web site, Bundchen briefly mentioned that she had recently been photographed by Apple. However, the blurb was removed without explanation.

The 25-year old diva is rumored to have been compensated handsomely for her part in the new campaign. According to Vogue magazine, she is believed to have pocketed "more than a million" for the shoot.

Bundchen has been named "Model of the Year" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Rolling Stone. Her portfolio includes appearances in ads for such brands as Victoria's Secret, Louis Vuitton and Versace.

Though primarily a model, Bundchen has also dabbled in the acting business. She starred in the 2004 film "Taxi" and most recently played a part in the 2006 flick "The Devil Wears Prada."

Word of her photo-shoot with Apple was first pointed out by Apple rumor site MacRumors.

It's unclear where and when the ads will be run.

Apple is currently running a national ad campaign that highlights the stability and simplicity of the Mac while poking fun at the shortcomings of the average Windows PC.
