Adriana's Acting Debut

2008-09-09T00:12:00.000Z

Brazilian super model Adriana Lima will break into the fashionable world of Mode magazine when she makes her acting debut on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty.

“Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance,” says Lima’s rep Liza Anderson.

On a future Betty (returning to ABC Sept. 25, 8 p.m. ET), Lima will be hired to pose on the pages of Mode’s “sizzling hot issue” and will work with Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) on a cover story about the virtues of exotic fruit, including the fictional “tico berry,” which the Vicoria’s Secret model — playing herself — will credit as a booster to her sexy appearance.

But in a twist right out of Betty’s madcap world, Lima, 27, will sport a broken finger from a real-life fall she suffered while on vacation in Croatia.

Alessandra Ambrosio Gives Birth To a Girl

Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio and long term boyfriend Jamie Mazur welcomed their first child, a girl named Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, into the world at 7:32 on Sunday evening at the St.Helena clinic in Florianopolis.

It is rumoured that that the labour lasted 7 hours and was uncomplicated. Alessandra hoped for a natural birth however a caesarian section was resorted to by doctors in the end to deliver the baby. She was surrounded by family members, one of whom videoed and photograhed the whole thing!

The director of the clinic is quoted as saying (translated from portuguese) "She is a very attentive mother, careful, dedicated. She is patient, sympathetic and that captivated everyone in the maternity ward."

Various sources are saying that mother and baby are both healthy and left the clinic early on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the New York Times, pictures of Anja are in the process of being bid on by various international publications, and some of the proceeds going to Multiple Sclerosis Children's Fund

Victoria’s Secret has revealed to People Magazine that Dutch model Doutzen Kroes is the newest Victoria’s Secret Angel, joining the line up of Heidi Klum, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Adriana Lima, as well as past angels like Gisele Bundchen and Tyra Banks.

Born in Oostermeer in the Netherlands, 23-year-old Kroes scored a modeling contract after she sent her photo to an agency hoping to earn enough cash to buy more fashion magazines.

2008-07-27T15:25:00.007Z

I just had to bring you these gorgeous and glowing photos of Brazilian superstar Adriana Lima and her huge engagement ring! She looks so ridiculously happy!

She was on the red carpet with her fiance, sports star Marko Jaric, at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles. Looking fabulous in a black mini-dress belted with black ribbon, some very high black and gold heels and accessorized with her fabulous new diamond engagement ring, Adriana also presented an award later in the evening.

Miranda & Orlando Engaged?

2008-07-25T23:39:00.001Z

There were rumors last week that the cute couple had split up, which Kerr’s publicist denied. Kerr was supposedly seen kissing her ex boyfriend, Brandon Davis, at different clubs which prompted the breakup story. The National Enquirer says it’s not true that Kerr and Bloom have split and that they’re actually engaged and looking for an apartment together.

Ironically, last week a report surface in a magazine claiming the couple had broken up. Not only was that report wrong, but Orlando was actually proposing at that time!

“Orlando’s been crazy in love with Miranda since they started dating - and he finally stepped up to the plate and asked her to marry him last week,” a close friend told The Enquirer. Insiders say the couple is planning a Buddhist wedding ceremony, because they feel their faith brought them closer together.

“Since his proposal they’ve been looking at engagement rings on both coasts,” said the source. They’re also looking for a larger apartment in New York so they can move in together.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 4, 2008]

We’ll have to see what happens with these two in time, but we hope it works out for them. They sure would make cute babies....

Miranda's Love Triangle?

2008-07-16T22:24:00.002Z

Is the romance over? Miranda Kerr's relationship with Orlando Bloom is finished, says an insider cited by In Touch in this week's issue who adds that she has rebounded into the arms of her former flame, oil heir Brandon Davis. The Victoria's Secret model and Brandon were first seen together shopping on LA's Robertson Boulevard last November but at the time they both insisted they were just pals, reports the magazine.

According to the report, In July Brandon, who recently split from Australian model Cheyenne Tozzi, and Miranda’s friendship took a romantic turn — they were spotted canoodling at two clubs in NYC. Brandon, 27, and Miranda were “full on making out” says a witness at 1Oak.

The report claims that the pair was also spotted kissing at Beatrice Inn later that night. “They didn’t seem to care who saw,” the witness reveals. While a rep for Miranda, 25, denies she has split with Orlando, 31, she was overheard telling Brandon about the breakup.

“Miranda always seems to go to Brandon when she has a fight with Orlando,” the insider tells the weekly entertainment magazine in a report set for publication this week. “He’s her rebound guy.”

Rosie Launched As Face of Buberry

2008-06-29T10:54:00.002Z

RIP Ruslana Korshunova

2008-06-29T10:48:00.003Z

A stunning Russian supermodel plunged to her death from the ninth floor of her lower Manhattan high-rise Saturday, police sources and neighbors said.

Ruslana Korshunova, 20, a long-haired beauty who graced the cover of Russian Vogue, plummeted into the middle of busy Water St. in the Financial District around 2:30 p.m., according to sources and building residents.

Witnesses to the apparent suicide had no idea that the shoeless woman dressed in blue jeans and a purple tank top was a famous model but noticed her beauty right away. "All I saw was something moving out of the corner of my eye, and then boom. It sounded like a bass drum when she hit the ground," said Steve Metzger, 36. "She was a pretty girl."

Investigators believe Korshunova jumped from her ninth-floor apartment adjacent to a skyscraper construction site, a law enforcement source said.

"I turned around just as she was about 3 feet off the ground and then, boom, she hit," said witness Ahmed Saad, 22, who was manning a nearby halal food cart.

Often photographed with her thigh-length locks cascading around her, Korshunova was born July 2, 1987, in Almaty, Kazakhstan. She was reportedly discovered in 2003 by Debbie Jones of Models 1, who spotted a picture of Korshunova in an in-flight magazine article about the girl's hometown. "I saw her by chance and she looked like something out of a fairytale!" Jones told British Vogue. "We had to find her and we searched high and low until we did! She's really incredible with feline features and timeless beauty."

She was represented by the agency IMG and has modeled for Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs and Cynthia Rowley.

The Mystery of the Supermodel's Boyfriend!

2008-06-13T22:34:00.002Z

It may sound like the title of another terrible novel, but thankfully, it's not. It's the mystery of who is brazilian super stunner Ana Beatriz Barros dating?

When asked backstage at the Lenny show in Rio yesterday she was careful to keep her relationship under wraps (similar to her career of late, where has she been?!) - all we know is he's brazilian, owns a business, they have been together for 7 months and are 'very much in love'. Oh, and he's also the romantic type....as yesterday was the brazilian equivalent of Valentines Day he showed up to support her at the show, plus sent her 110 roses and a diamond necklace! Read it and weep girls. Read it and weep.

Photo shows Ana at the Lenny afterparty on Thursday evening.

Gisele's Luxury Life

2008-06-13T18:01:00.003Z

Gisele Bundchen has reportedly purchased her very own jet, a Gulfstream G550 for $50 million, according to the Boston Globe. The super-fast jet, which can carry 14-19 people, will enable Gisele to fly from the US to Sao Paulo to Paris without worrying about connections or waiting in lines.The Gulfstream 550 is the longest range business jet in the world and more than 124 aircraft have been produced.

In other Gisele news, she's just been placed at #66 on the Forbes top 100 most powerful celebrities list, with a pay of $35 million - it's no wonder she can afford that private jet!

Orlando Bloom cuddles up with supermodel girlfriend Miranda Kerr on the dance floor at the third annual Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Party, held at the Stud House, Hampton Court Palace on Saturday in Richmond upon Thames, London, England.

I’m guessing Miranda had to use ample double stick tape for this event!

The night raised funds for the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation - an international fund fighting child cancer in Russia and to fund research to help eradicate this life-threatening disease.

Shhhhh It's Heather Marks!

2008-06-07T18:21:00.003Z

The best way to get people talking about you is to tell them not to. Canadian model Heather Marks recently moved into a chic new building on East 14th Street, where one resident said, "She's going around introducing herself to everyone and telling them she's a model," adding, "But don't tell anyone because I don't want it to get out, you know, because I don't want everyone to make a big deal." Her fellow residents find the behaviour "kind of annoying, because no one cares at all."

Deyn Ditched Me Says Burberry Rival Rosie

2008-06-05T23:06:00.003Z

Quick, get the nail file out! A new generation of catwalk scraps is about to erupt after 'next big thing' and new face of Burberry, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, slammed her predecessor, Agyness Deyn, for snubbing her.

Last month it was revealed how young star Rosie, 21, toppled her former friend's reign as the face of Burberry after just one season. Insiders revealed Deyn 'the new Kate Moss' was replaced because she had over exposed herself with publicity. Now Rosie is showing little sympathy for her former elfin friend, who she says blanked her for six months when she first hit the headlines.

'Agyness was really sweet and we used to hang out all the time. But when she became big she dropped me.'

'I tried being her friend and texted her repeatedly for six months but she never replied so I just gave up. So good luck to her. I haven't seen her', she told Metro at a party this week.

The Devon beauty, also a D& G underwear model says she's already shot the new season for Burberry. 'It was really cool and very exciting to do. That was a big thing.' She confirmed the whispers that Deyn, 26, had out done herself by over publicising her image, saying, 'Personally I think Agy's look is a one-off season look but she has been so publicised and has such a big profile she'll probably make it in the long term now, I guess.'

The brunette then played down her own hype as the next big thing, saying 'I don't even know that would means.'

'Right now I am just happy focusing on my projects and campaigns. But I am up for anything', she says.

Rosie Puts Boyfriend Back In His Place

2008-06-05T23:02:00.002Z

Pandora has been keeping a close eye on the budding relationship between Ronnie Wood's son Tyrone and his model squeeze, 21-year-old Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

As I recently reported, Huntington-Whiteley has decamped to London after a brief spell in New York to be reunited with Wood.

I ran in to them after a touching minor tiff over a fur scarf she wore to a recent cocktail party.

"Ty's mum Jo gave it me as a present. I really like it, but when we got into the car to come here this evening, he said he didn't want me to wear as it was cruel," she complained. "Mind you, he won't be complaining when I take it off in his bedroom later."

Career-wise, Rosie is on the up and up. According to reports, she's uprooted supermodel de nos jours Agyness Deyn to be next season's "face" of the British label Burberry. "I can't speak about that," she added somewhat mysteriously.

Manor Only Fit For A Model

2008-05-31T16:38:00.003Z

Very blond, well-boned, expensively jeaned buyers have been pouring into East Village apartments for so long that it’s hard to find new excuses to complain about the area’s über-gentrification. But then again, it’s hard to remember when someone as upsettingly young as Lily Donaldson, the 21-year-old Vogue cover girl, spent anything like $2.2 million on a neighborhood apartment, especially one that happens to be as far east as Avenue B.

Her new two-bedroom place on Tompkins Square Park around East Eighth Street could be the most expensive co-op ever sold on the block, The New York Observer reports.

She has Brazilian cherry wood floors (“that glow with the setting sun,” according to it's listing), two bathrooms with original pedestal sinks and cast iron tubs, a 40-foot-long living room with six windows facing three directions, and, of course, a dressing room off one of the two bedrooms.

On the downside, the building is massively nondescript and un-frilled, plus the apartment needs work. “I’d put money into it,” Mr. Davis said, “I’d bet she will, too.”

Ms. Donaldson was “the highest bidder and very qualified. The board liked her and approval was unanimous, which is always a concern when you’re dealing with a young model,” the broker said. “You’re never sure how a board would see her.”

A Change of Face at Burberry

2008-05-19T14:30:00.003Z

The reason why Agyness Deyn was dropped as the face of Burberry can now be revealed.

An insider at the fashion house told me that celebrity snapper Mario Testino – described as the company's advertising visionary – is fed up with the hype surrounding the elfin model who aimed to topple Kate Moss as the queen of British fashion.

Asked why Agy had been dropped less than a year after pinching the role from her rival, the checked-cap mole told me: 'She was just a flash in the pan. Last year she was quirky but now she is challenging Moss in the fame stakes by positioning herself everywhere. That kind of popularity just hasn't sat well with Mario, who is looking for something different'.

Deyn, real name Laura Hollins, has long played the fame game.

She is a regular on the celebrity circuit and has made several high-profile showbiz appearances, including presenting a prize at the NME music awards and collecting the model of the year gong at the Elle style awards. She has also just made a pop music video.

But the 26-year-old's attempts to eclipse Moss in the popularity stakes seem to have backfired – as well as losing the Burberry contract she also failed to make a list of the top ten richest models, in which Moss came third. To make matters worse, it seems Testino is not just looking for a new face – he wants a younger one, too.

The snapper – famed for his photos of Princess Diana – is thought to want to replace Deyn with 21-year-old Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

The Devon beauty, a D&G underwear model, has reportedly already been booked to front Burberry's autumn campaign.

Belles At The Ball

2008-05-07T18:37:00.011Z

Monday night saw the rich and famous strutting their stuff on the red carpet at the entrance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in aid of fashion's biggest event - the Costume Institute Gala, complete with superhero theme.

Many a celebrity was in attendance, including the Beckhams, Julia Roberts, Eva Longoria, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise - but what really matters around here, the models, are the ones who really stole the show.

A good amount of the industry's most prominent models were there as guests of the top designers. The best dressed of the night included regular guests Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady, wearing Atelier Versace and Tom Ford respectively (pictured); Jessica Stam in Proenza Schouler; Karolina Kurkova in Vera Wang; Natasha Poly in Phi; Liya Kebede in Jonathon Saunders and Kate Moss in Stella McCartney.

Relative newcomers to the guestlist included Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, looking stunning with new bangs and in Burberry Prorsum (pictured); Lily Donaldson, also in Burberry Prorsum; Doutzen Kroes in threeasfour, Anja Rubik and Coco Rocha, both in Pucci and Jourdan Dunn in Bill Blass.

Overall the night was an overwhelming success on the model front, and witha wide choice of afterparties to keep them going into the early hours, it's really no suprise!

Miranda and Orlando In Sydney

2008-04-22T21:35:00.002Z

Miranda Kerr may look the goods but she still needs her beauty sleep. And rest is what the Gunnedah gal caught up on yesterday, after jetting into town from New York - with some special baggage in tow, boyfriend Orlando Bloom.

After celebrating her birthday in the Big Apple on Sunday, the star couple spent most of their first day in Sydney together holed up in her five-star city hotel suite.

While she's preparing to meet the fashion press - to be introduced as David Jones's new ambassador at a gala dinner tonight - it's believed Bloom is nervously bracing himself to meet her father, John, for the first time.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star has already won over Kerr's mum, Therese, recently treating her to a luxury shopping trip along Beverley Hills' famous Rodeo Drive. But the prospect of presenting himself for review with his new love's dad could well have inspired Bloom's afternoon dash to DJs menswear department yesterday, where shoppers spied the actor trying on suits.

Kerr may be pocketing the big bucks from her new endorsement deal with the retailer, but it was her actor beau who spent up during a two-hour trawl around the Market Street store. Excited customers reported the star snapped up a suit and other accessories.

While he could be out to impress dad, the rumour sweeping social circles was Bloom could be a late starter at Royal Randwick this Saturday, for the Australian Jockey Club running of the David Jones Doncaster Day. Sydney's VIP racing set, with invite-only access to the glamour marquees, are likely to be among the first to rub shoulders with the hot Hollywood pairing. Kerr is also expected to make appearances at next week's annual frockfest, again on duty for DJs.

I know we've been awash with baby stories lately but you know you secretly love 'em! As we expected rumours are doing the rounds and already there is speculation regarding Alessandra Ambrosio and her pregnancy. According to undisclosed sources she has apparently told friends and family her and boyfriend Jamie Mazur are expecting a girl, due in September.

Can Anyone Say Brady Bunch?

2008-04-16T16:39:00.007Z

Sorry, I couldn't resist with the title! It's just too obvious. The first pictures surfaced yesterday of brazilian hottie Gisele, boyfriend/all star quarterback Tom Brady and his son - John Edward being carried by Gisele outside Bridget Moynahan's California home. Not sure about everyone else but we're loving how Gisele looks with the baby! Hopefully it won't be too long before she has one of her own!

Alessandra Out and About - Still Pregnant.

2008-04-12T11:47:00.003Z

Brazilian model and mother-to-be Alessandra Ambrosio was out shopping earlier this week with her long-time boyfriend Jaime Mazur on Roberson Boulevard in West Hollywood. We got the EXCLUSIVE shots of the two shopping in stores like Curves and Stella McCartney, and even stopping for a restroom break and some coffee at the local Starbucks. The baby must have been kicking while they did some browsing, because Alessandra kept grabbing her growing tummy throughout the trip. Alessandra has to be one of the most beautiful pregnant ladies we’ve ever seen! All women have an inner glow that makes them shine when they’re pregnant, but that light must be bursting from Alessandra’s pores.

Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the girl who turned 27 yesterday!

Rosie Getting More In Demand

2008-04-07T17:46:00.003Z

When stunning model Rosie Huntington- Whiteley, 20, fell for art dealer Tyrone Wood — they met at his father Ronnie's Rolling Stones concert in Barcelona — she was welcomed warmly into his rock 'n' roll family.She even moved into the Woods' home while she looked for a place of her own. Now the family endorsement has gone one step further, for I learn Rosie has been signed by Models 1, the prestigious modelling agency which represents Tyrone's sister Leah.

Rosie's switch from Profile Models and her base in New York should be a relief to Tyrone, 24, who runs Mayfair's Scream gallery, which is hosting Rene Ricard's latest exhibition.He once grumbled that the only flaw in their relationship was the distance her career in America put between them.

But the love birds may have to wait to be brought closer together. For Rosie — hailed as the next Kate Moss — is attracting so much work she may miss Tyrone's family holiday in Kenya."The whole of the Wood family are going on holiday to Kenya, but Rosie's becoming so big it looks like she may be unable to go," I am told.

Also, to add to this....we just found out Rosie is booked to shoot Burberry (with world famous photographer Mario Testino) and D&G underwear for the F/W 08/09 season.

Gisele Shows Us Why She's Famous.

2008-04-03T16:57:00.003Z

This, my friends, is why Gisele Bundchen is arguably the most in demand model today. I mean, I'm a girl and seriously...check out that butt! It's not often Gisele is willing to show off her greatest asset so we gather it must be for a special shoot, backed up by the fact Mario Testino was the one photographing her. Can't wait to see the final pictures, wherever they appear, it's going to be fierce!

Rosie and Tyrone ARE Back Together

2008-04-03T16:50:00.004Z

We reported a while back that British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and on-then-off-again boyfriend Tyrone Wood were back together, well here's the proof. They are! She mentioned it in an interview for InStyle UK last month, but it's an excuse to post this really cute photo from the 'Shine a Light' premiere in London last night. Bless.

'Kerrbloom' At It Again!

2008-03-23T21:13:00.005Z

It seems Miranda and Orlando (aptly nicknamed 'Kerrbloom' by the US media) are really hotting it up at the moment, being sighted twice already this week together in Los Angeles. They were first spotted a couple of days ago having lunch and shopping together, and here the pair are enjoying a quick little makeout sessions at the gas station whilst waiting for Orlando's Audi A6 to be filled up! What happened to the 'just friends' story? Hmmm.

Adriana Still Alive....and Signing Things.

2008-03-22T23:34:00.006Z

Contrary to belief, Adriana Lima is actually still alive! She doesn't really seem to do much these days (yes we know she does the odd V.S gig and what not - we're talking mainstream campaigns, covers and editorials here) compared to her brazilian counterparts Isabeli and Gisele, but here she is at a signing of her new GQ cover at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Whatever she's been doing whilst hidden away has certainly improved her style, she's looking much more like her old uber-hot self and definitely worthy of her supermodel status once again!

In other Adriana news, she's still dating basketball player Marko Jaric, is often seen in the crowd at his baseball games, and he often flies across country to be with her! Cute.

New Versace Girls Confirmed

2008-03-19T22:46:00.002Z

Donatella Versace has the best of both worlds for her fall ad campaign. Russian beauty Natalia Vodianova and Brazilian bombshell Isabeli Fontana have been confirmed to shoot Versace's fall campaign today in Manhattan with photographer Mario Testino and stylist Brana Wolf.

The duo replace Gisele Bündchen, who stars in Versace's current ads. This is Vodianova's first Versace campaign (she was featured in past Versus advertising) while Fontana represented the Italian fashion house in 2004 as the face of Versace Crystal Noir parfum.

"My first big important fashion show was Versace!" Fontana said Tuesday night at a Barneys New York dinner in honor of Donatella Versace and its exclusive launch of the Versace men's wear line. "I cannot wait. She is an amazing designer to work with!" Testino, meanwhile, couldn't have been happier with his subjects. "I choose all my girls," he said. "So of course I think it's great!"

Ana Beatriz Returns To Elite

2008-03-17T22:54:00.003Z

Elite model management, home to fellow Brazilian and best friend Alessandra Ambrosio, today announced the return of Ana Beatriz Barros to it's books. Formerly at Next Model Management, Ana has returned to top agency Elite after spending her early days as a model in New York with them. They famously scored her, and Alessandra, the millenium Guess campaign which launced both their careers (pictured). Hopefully this will lead to more work for the Brazilian beauty who has been rather quiet on the fashion front lately. There is rumour she will be speaking on behalf of Brazil at an economic "models for the planet" conference involving Al Gore in the coming weeks.

Gisele and Tom Need a Room.

2008-03-12T18:34:00.004Z

Well there's not going to be rumors anytime soon that Gisele and Tom Brady are on the rocks! They were seen together at the Ermenegildo Zegna store opening in New York yesterday looking fabulously hot and more than picture perfect. Better than the infamous Gisele and Leo? We don't know, but what we DO know is we love these two, they're so adoarable. Barbie and Ken anyone?!

Official : Alessandra Is Pregnant

2008-03-08T11:44:00.004Z

No more speculating required, Alessandra Ambrosio announced this week via her Official Website that she is in fact pregnant with her first child, fathered by boyfriend Jamie:

"This is a dream come true and a really special moment in our lives! I'm very happy to say that our baby looks healthy and that we are really excited to be mom and dad and raising a child together. I hope this year for you all has started full of amazing surprises like it has been with me.

For the time being, I ready to start to enjoy and dedicate myself to this new chapter in my life and I hope to be working soon enriched by our love for our new baby."

No clue as to when the baby is due but we're guessing in around 5 months. Good luck to Ale and her boyfriend!

Miranda's (Not So) Secret

2008-03-06T19:20:00.003Z

Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr is used to playing it coy when it comes to her boyfriend Orlando Bloom.

As the April cover-girl for the U.K.'s Harper's Bazaar, she'll only tell the mag that they’re "really good friends – just say that for now."

But actions speak louder than words, and soon – when she starts animatedly waving around her Blackberry – the model gives herself away. What's so telling about a boring old Blackberry?

The photo-background on this particular gadget just happens to show Kerr and Bloom kissing – and not in a friendly way. "It's nothing, it's just a phone," she insists when she's busted by the Bazaar reporter. Then she adds, laughing, "That's always my problem. I wear my heart on my sleeve."

The budding supermodel – who's about to hop a flight from New York to L.A., where she'll spend the weekend celebrating Bloom's birthday – pauses in the middle of one set-up, in which she's wielding a riding crop. "Hmmm," she says. "I think I'll have to take this with me." Just what does she have in mind? She's back to being coy: "I can't possibly tell you that!"

Alessandra Is Pregnant....and Miserable.

2008-03-03T18:48:00.001Z

Pregnant Brazilian Victoria's Secret "Angel" Alessandra Ambrosio and her American beau Jamie Mazur were spotted recently at Hollywood hotspot Goa, where Ambrosio appeared to be on the brink of tears.

"Everybody around her was drinking, dancing and having an amazing time," an eyewitness told Pop Tarts. "But Alessandra just looked so unhappy — it was a side of her I had never seen before. She was sipping water, barely said a word to anyone and seemed really uncomfortable tugging at her outfit and trying to hide her little baby bump."

Even as her supermodel sisters Selita Ebanks, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima hosted (and partied) at the "What Is Sexy" soiree during last month's Super Bowl, Alessandra's pregnancy meant she had to work. The stunner reportedly had to squeeze in one final spur-of-the-moment swimsuit shoot in Los Angeles before she started to "show."

"She and Jamie are excited to be having a child together but they weren't together all that long when it all happened so it's a big learning curve," another source added. "Her career was such a high, so obviously priorities have changed. That's always very difficult for anyone to deal with, especially given the fact Alessandra has made millions with her body so the sudden weight gain would be stressful."

But even though the 26-year-old is expected to pop out her first child just a couple of months before the big VS show in November, she could still be roaming the runways. After all, Heidi Klum managed to do it just six weeks after giving birth.
"Alessandra will probably just do what Heidi did and get her gorgeous body back in no time," another insider said. "Although she isn't as disciplined as Heidi. She treats herself a lot more so I am guessing she will find getting back in shape a little more challenging."

Rosie Back With Ex Boyfriend

2008-03-03T18:10:00.002Z

Ronnie Wood's 24-year-old son, Tyrone, has clearly inherited some of the prowess that has made his old man one of rock's most accomplished swordsmen. Since last summer, Tyrone has been stepping out with British beauty Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 20, a model who has appeared in campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith.

The relationship was blighted slightly – he was based in London, she was in New York – but it now appears Wood's squeeze can't be without him. "Rosie's decided to come back to live in London," he told the Independent at an exhibition at Mayfair's Scream Gallery. "She rang up the other day and said 'I wanna come home'."

Readers of GQ magazine will be familiar with Huntington-Whiteley, hailed as the next Kate Moss, after she posed for a raunchy photo shoot.

"Yes, my mates all saw that," Ty added proudly. "Let's just say I had one or two texts about it."

Victoria's New Girl

2008-02-28T22:55:00.001Z

Ever since Gisele resigned from Victoria's Secret, we've been killing to know which new girls the brand's got in their stable.

Well, today we've got one: Behati Prinsloo.

The 20-year-old Namibian will make her first big appearance for Victoria's Secret next month at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami, when the Pink line has a giant pool and pajama party. Behati will be joined by veteran VS babe Miranda Kerr, plus Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado from Laguna Beach... wait, sorry The Hills... wait sorry, Total Uselessness.

Although, we guess anyone from US Weekly will be interested to know they're hosting a bikini party - surely if Brody were still with Lauren Conrad, she wouldn't allow such behavior?

(Pictured, Behati shooting for the VS Pink line)

Miranda Forces Beau to Clean Up!

2008-02-28T19:07:00.003Z

Orlando Bloom is back with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, but it won't last unless he kicks up his personal hygiene, friends warn.

"Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly. Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often."

When he's not working on a film, the Pirates of the Caribbean star, 31, "goes days without washing his clothes," adds the source. "He'll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks."

It doesn't help that he sleeps with his dog, Sidi, and lets her slobber all over him.

Since Miranda, 24, told him to clean up his act, Orlando has been trying. But, says the source, he's told friends "he doesn't know if this relationship will last."

Ali Forced Out Of Fashion Week

2008-02-28T18:16:00.005Z

Young American model Ali Micheal has been forced to leave Paris fashion week. Why? Because casting directors deem her too fat.

It's hard to imagine Miss Michael, a willowy, 5-foot-9-inch teenager, being told her legs are too plump. Last season, Miss Michael made herself sick keeping her weight down, said her mother. Miss Michael's reward was to be heralded as the next supermodel.

She opened Lanvin in Paris a year ago and walked the runways of Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix, Chanel, John Galliano, Dior, Rodarte and others. She appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue and W magazines and was personally congratulated by Vogue's Anna Wintour.

It's possible to become anesthetized to the models' looks. With heavy makeup, it's also easy to overlook how young many of them are. Miss Michael was "discovered" in Texas at 15.
Her mother, a stunning woman who was once a model herself, said her daughter's model friends have struggled to get thinner in recent months and that her daughter, worried about her health, chose not to starve herself.

"Our bags are packed," said Mrs. Michael sadly as she and her daughter prepared to fly home. Still, she said that she felt a sense of relief that her child was getting out of the fast lane of fashion, at least for now. "I have a really good, good daughter," she said.

Well no matter what happens, we still love Ali! Way to go for standing up to the industry - who needs Paris fashion week anyway when you look like she does?! Great girl.

Pictured, Ali walking for Anna Sui earlier this month in New York.

Rosie Goes To Models1

2008-02-17T18:02:00.003Z

Beautiful british model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, best known for her work with Victoria's Secret, has moved London modelling agencies from Profile to Models1 - which could explain her absence at London Fashion Week this season.

Rosie had with Profile since she first started, they were the ones that scouted her at just 16, so no one really knows why she's changed but hopefully it's for the better as far as her work shedule goes. She's gone from being one of the only known models on the books to joining fellow fashion superstars also at Models1, including Burberry model Agyness Deyn and current Chloe muse Ali Stephens.

So far the move is looking good for the gorgeous girl, this month she already has editorials in Glamour UK, Tatler UK and GQ!

(Pictured, Rosie in Glamour UK March 2008)

Gisele Signs New Deal

2008-02-17T18:00:00.001Z

Gisele Bundchen is one busy Brazilian these days. Not only is she the face of Dolce & Gabbana's latest scent, but she's also just signed on to model for Max Factor. E! Online reports that Gisele has signed a two-year, $2.5 million deal to endorse its products.

Of course, the beauty brand is keeping quiet, and we haven't heard anything from Gisele herself, but an insider told E! that it's a sweet deal. Apparently, Gisele's contract with Victoria's Secret had prohibited her endorsement of any beauty products, but now that she's a free agent, she's able to line up the lucrative deals that models dream of.

Happy Valentines From V.S

2008-02-07T19:49:00.000Z

What better way to celebrate Valentines Day, a week early no less, than a scantily clad Izabel Goulart, skin tight dress wearing Selita, and classily dressed Karolina Kurkova?

Victoria's Secret really knows how to celebrate the year's sexiest holiday, this year by showing some of the company's sexy lingerie line and getting the girls to sign copies of Esquire, in which all they angels are shown completely naked except for super high heels and a killer smile...but cleverly positioned nonetheless!

Tyra Makes Fun Of Models Better Than Her.

2008-02-06T14:34:00.000Z

Model Karlie Kloss is on the rise, but we're not sure if that's a good thing if Tyra Banks is in the audience. If you've not seen it, the Kloss walk features a kind of stoned death stare; she moves in slow motion, swaying her head from side to side in such a way that if laser beams were to suddenly shoot out of her eyes — and we suspect they might any minute now — she would obliterate everyone in the first two rows. So when Kloss floated by Banks at the Jill Stuart show this afternoon, Banks noticed.

Tyra excitedly tapped her purple-haired neighbor, indicating this was the moment she'd been waiting for. Her eyes adopted the same couldn't-give-a-**** glare as Kloss; she dropped her chin, and slowly swayed her head from side to side, transforming herself into a Kloss zombie. Her companion laughed excitedly and so Tyra did the routine again. And again. Then she turned to her other front-row neighbor, the ubiquitous Nigel Barker, and did it again. Nigel shook his head and, though we didn't hear their conversation, they seemed to agree they didn't know what the hell Kloss was doing. Whatever it was, it's been working: The girl's barely 15 years old and has been owning the runways all week.

Alessandra Out, About and Pregnant!

2008-02-05T17:54:00.000Z

Well, if this doesn't confirm it I don't know what does. Alessandra Ambrosio shooting at the famous Pink motel this Saturday showing what looks to be a definite little baby bump! So cute!

She was also spotted out a few days later dining at Spago in Beverley Hills with boyfriend (and son to be father) Jamie Mazur with best friend and co-brazilian bombshell Ana Beatriz Barros in tow.

New York Fashion Week

2008-02-05T17:39:00.000Z

Well we're 4 days into New York fashion week and things are going well! There's only been a few hissy fits - mainly from Jessica Stam by all accounts, but whats new? Isabeli Fontana (pictured at Miss Sixty) is enjoying her second successful season after her big comeback and newcomers Abbey Lee Kershaw, Kamila Filipcikova and Anna Gushina (among others) are having very successful premiere seasons.

Some of the girls who ruled a few years ago, namely around the 05/06 seasons, are having a good week so far - Heather Marks, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly all have a few shows under their (high waisted super tiny - of course) belts!

Still to look forward to we have fashion weeks from London, Milan and Paris where some of the world's most infamous designers will show their collections including Prada, Stella McCartney, Chloe and Gucci.

Ask Men Top 99 List Revealed

2008-01-31T23:12:00.000Z

Yes, it's that time of year again where american men vote for who's hot (and in some eyes rather NOT) for the upcoming year. This year's list sports a healthy set of models, not suprisingly topped by Brazil's hottest export Alessandra Ambrosio ranking at No.2, only losing out to actress Katherine Heigl. Here's a list of all the models that ranked in the Top 99 for 2008;

2. Alessandra Ambrosio
9. Marisa Miller
10. Adriana Lima
16. Gisele Bundchen
19. Miranda Kerr
20. Bar Rafaeli
25. Heidi Klum
41. Petra Nemcova
58. Kate Moss

Is She Or Isn't She?

2008-01-26T18:41:00.000Z

Yep - that's right. We STILL don't know if Alessandra has got the celebrity baby bug for sure, but in these recent pictures of her modelling in Miami it sure looks like it! The brazilian who is never usually shy about her body is doing a good job of hiding her stomach, and looking a little more rounded in that department than her usual shapely self. Judge for youself, but our verdict is...yes!

Lily Goes To IMG

2008-01-26T18:22:00.000Z

British model Lily Donaldson, former star of London agency Select model management, has moved on to greener pastures at worldwide super agency IMG. She's on the books at their New York, London, Milan and Paris offices and could possibly be set to increase the pace of her already soaring career and will be joining uber-models Gisele Bundchen, Angela Lindvall, Daria Werbowy, Heidi Klum and Erin Wasson already at IMG. Lily is currently the face of Max Mara, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana.

More Alessandra Rumours....

2008-01-15T18:17:00.000Z

....same story as below, this time from the slightly more reliable source New York gossip blog Page Six;

January 15, 2008 -- It looks like Victoria's Secret angel Alessandra Ambrosio won't be strutting down the runway in her skivvies anytime soon. The Brazilian beauty, 26, is pregnant with her first child. "She's a few months along," said our insider. Ambrosio is thrilled, she told pals at a weekend party at the Hollywood Hills house of her boyfriend, Jamie Mazur. Paris Hilton, sister Nicky and brother Barron all partied at the house after a night out at Teddy's.

And just to add fuel to the fire, two more articles, from OK Magazine and E! Online.

Although it still hasn't been confirmed by Alessandra's people I'm guessing the rumours are true - the sites that are reporting it now don't tend to mention anything unless they're about 95% certain of its reliability.

Alessandra Expecting?

2008-01-12T19:41:00.000Z

Well she's said many times in interviews before that she dreams of having a family, and the dream could be coming true for 25 year old Victoria's Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio.

Rumours are currently rife, especially in her home country of Brazil, that she is expecting her first child with american boyfriend Jamie Mazur.

It has been allegedly confirmed by brazilian gossip site Terra, however this is what Alessandra's site had to say:

"There is a rumor going around that Alessandra is pregnant, and it has supposedly been confirmed. Until we (the staff) or Alessandra can give you a real confirmation or denial, it is to be seen as FALSE."

We'll have to wait and see what happens....so watch this space!

Back To Work For Miranda

2008-01-11T00:41:00.000Z

She earned brownie points spending the last moments of her summer holiday with mum Therese, but Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr jetted out of Sydney to earn more of the fashion world's folding stuff yesterday.

With her Victoria's Secret wings out of sight, the "angel'' continued to charm her way out of town, bound for New York where the 23-year-old Gunnedah gal is in hot demand.

Squeezing in a final night of pampering on Wednesday at Bondi's Ravesi's hotel - including a healthy beachside brekky with mum - Kerr flew straight back to the US fashion capital for a coveted shoot with UK Harpers Bazaar. It's a long way from the lazy days spent at Valla Beach, on the North Coast, where she has been holed up - and make-up free - with family since flying home for Christmas.

But her final moments in Oz were not without some heat, with rumours she was set to replace Jodhi Meares as host of Australia's Next Top Model quickly hosed down by her reps and Foxtel bosses.

Despite making an impressive TV debut hosting segments for a Victoria's Secret special last year, her Aussie publicist denied widespread talk she would take up the job.

Foxtel CEO Brian Walsh backed its beach babe, telling Confidential yesterday: "Jodhi has always been our only choice to host this series and we are delighted to have her as part of our talent line up.'' He added, "Miranda Kerr has never been part of the picture.''

Kerr's spokeswoman said the frantic fashionista's work schedule was "dizzy enough as it is,'' with her plans to strut her stuff on New York Fashion Week's catwalks next month and pen a healthy guide for young girls - to be titled Treasure Yourself.

Isabeli's New Place

2008-01-07T23:31:00.000Z

Brazilian top model Isabeli Fontana must've made a lot of money in her unbelievable comeback year, following the birth of her second child Lucas - she's just spent $3.37 million on a three-bedroom apartment in the Trump Place development on Riverside Boulevard. Not only that, but she already has a penthouse in a Trump condo a few doors down!

Isabeli, who currently fronts the H&M lingerie campaign and has a place in the Victoria's Secret catalogues, perhaps needs the extra room for her two children!

Paparazzi Still Harassing Gisele

2008-01-07T23:15:00.000Z

Gisele and boyfriend Tom Brady were out in NYC on Saturday night (Gisele is now in Rio for the Colocci show) walking home and being harassed by the paparazzi....yet again. It looks to us as if Gisele really doesn't enjoy it - she always has her head down and walks behind Tom, clinging on to his hand. We wish the photographers would give this girl and her beau some privacy, she's spent enough of her life in front of a camera! Give the girl a break!

Miranda The Model Hostess

2008-01-05T15:31:00.000Z

Miranda's the model hostess - With mates like these ... Miranda Kerr, driving, takes her Gunnedah friends, left to right, Vanessa Gallen, Brooke Ross and Lauren Ramien for a spin.

MODEL Miranda Kerr has swapped the bright lights of New York for the North Coast village of Valla Beach at a reunion of family and friends.

The Victoria's Secret "angel" gave The Sun-Herald an exclusive invitation to the party at the only pub in the town near Nambucca Heads.

Without a scrap of make-up and wearing a casual summer dress, Kerr looked relaxed and could not stop grinning as she sat down to a dinner of fish and chips last week.

The 24-year-old said she was loving being back in Australia. Several relatives travelled from her home town of Gunnedah for the big catch-up, but there was no sign of her rumoured boyfriend, Orlando Bloom. There is talk the actor could soon be on his way to Sydney to meet the brunette beauty.

Kerr was overhead saying, "Baby, I wish you were here with me now" in a phone conversation as she arrived at Sydney Airport.

Proving she has not let her fame go to her head, Kerr invited her three childhood best friends to her low-key party. But there was a touch of glamour when she took her mates for a spin in her convertible.

Fernanda To Host Brazil's Next Top Model

2008-01-03T00:02:00.000Z

The model Fernanda Motta, chosen to be the hostess of reality program Brazil's Next Top Model, said it's impossible not to get wrapped up in the tense mood when it's time to "end" a wannabe-top's dream. "My legs shake when it's the send-off, and I get the urge to cry", she told during the show's release this Tuesday in São Paulo.

The reality show, which premieres in October 3 on Sony Entertainment Television, will show 20 candidates that will fight for the job of being Brazil's next top model (Note: No pun intended). Locked in a house for three months, they'll go through tasks that will test their physical and psychological strength.

Besides having Fernanda Motta as hostess, the show will count with designer Alexandre Herchcovitch, journalist Erika Palomino and São Paulo Fashion Week's producer Paulo Borges as judges. The famous party planner Carlos Pazetto will be fashion "teacher" for the girls.

Being the commander, Fernanda Motta says she'll be strict when announcing the end of a contestant's journey at the show. "But afterwards I always have a word of comfort", she said. According to her, the send-off won't be the end of their dreams. "It's the end of the dream of being at Brazil's Next Top Model, since they can become a model by other means", she stated.

Chosen as a host through a test that reunited various Brazilian models, Fernanda Motta said she's always felt she'd be great at the show. "It has a lot to do with me because I'm a really transparent person", she said.

Modelling since 16, Fernanda wants to share with the contestants all her experience on the career. "If I say something to them it's because I've gone through the same experience".

Excited with the possibility of hosting the show, which is incredibly successful in the United States (America's Next Top Model is on its eight cycle), Fernanda Motta called off all her jobs and moved from New York to Brazil.

"I live in New York for four years and I work a lot in USA and Europe. With the show, I had to call off some jobs, but I wasn't saddened with this", says she, who looks at the show as a great opportunity in her career.

Fernanda will spend two full months only in Brazil exclusively for the show. After this season, she believes her "faithful" clients will call her for new international jobs.

In USA, the show is hosted by Tyra Banks, who Fernanda knows. The Brazilian model says she doesn't fear comparations between the two of them. "Tyra is American and American people are very different from Brazilian", she declared.

Happy Brazilian New Year!

2008-01-02T19:40:00.000Z

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year, because these girls certainly did! Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Fernanda Motta and Ana Beatriz Barros all spent the holiday together in favourite town Florianopolis, Brazil dancing and partying the night away with their friends and partners till the early hours, and all sporting their famous glowing tans and vibrant mini dresses at a pre new year party hosted by Fernanda Motta on Friday 28th. They then spent the actual New Year's Eve partying at Cafe de la Musique with Yfke Sturm and Oluchi Onweabega joining the party.

Top Models In Iconic Vuitton Campaign

2007-12-30T22:37:00.001Z

Six of the most iconic models of the past 20 years have come together for a spectacular new advertising campaign by French luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton. Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Natalia Vodianova, Eva Herzigova, Angela Lindvall and Stephanie Seymour are all featured in the stunning new ads, for which they're photographed posing on vibrantly coloured sports cars.

"I thought the idea of hot chicks and cars was really cool - and very Richard Prince," says Marc Jacobs, creative director of the brand.

It's not the first time the American designer has drawn inspiration from US photographer and painter Richard Prince. At the most recent Louis Vuitton catwalk show in Paris, models strutted down the runway dressed as nurses - a theme Marc Jacobs said was also inspired by Richard's work. And the car featured in the new spring/summer 2008 ads is a 1970 Dodge Challenger - belonging to the snapper himself.

"It is kind of groundbreaking to have six of the supermodels together," said the brand's director of communications. "If Marc Jacobs was managing the budget, he would have even taken 12!"

Gisele Out and About In NYC

2007-12-30T21:18:00.000Z

Gisele Bundchen walks through the West Village after having lunch with a female friend on Saturday in New York City.

The 27-year-old Brazilian bombshell was later seen leaving for the football game at Giants Stadium to watch quarterback Tom Brady, her boyfriend from the New England Patriots.

Early in the second quarter of the Patriots-Giants game, Brady threw a touchdown pass to Randy Moss, giving the Patriots the NFL record for points scored in a season–a perfect record of 16-0 with a win over the Giants 38-35.

Adriana Lima Dating Marko Jaric

2007-12-29T13:06:00.000Z

Up until precisely this moment, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric had been known for two things: entering an NBA game with his jersey on backwards, and being on the receiving end of a vicious Kobe Bryant forearm shiver. Those two incidents will forever take a backseat to some of the best news to hit the NBA this season: Jaric is dating one of the most beautiful women in the world, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

Understandably, his teammates are shocked. “Ever since he started dating Adriana Lima, he’s a new man,” [Mark] Madsen said, laughing. “He’s flying all over the court. He dunked! I’ve never seen him dunk.”

Picture shows Adriana attending a Timberwolves game recently to support her new boyfriend.

Miranda Arrives Home

2007-12-26T15:12:00.000Z

Wearing a Chanel handbag and driving a loaned luxury car, Miranda Kerr was the picture perfect image of a model turned super when she arrived in Sydney this week.

Jetting in from New York in time to spend Christmas with her family, the Victoria's Secret stunner is set to add some serious sex appeal to the sleepy coastal NSW town where she is currently holidaying with her parents and extended family.

While there was no sign of her boyfriend Orlando Bloom, it is rumoured the big screen heart throb could be arriving in Sydney for some summer lovin' with the Aussie beauty this week.

On her arrival into Sydney airport, Kerr was attached to her mobile phone - overheard saying "baby I wish you were here with me now."

After enjoying some well deserved rest and relaxation, the leggy star will toast to her amazing year alongside the city's A-list at the Oneday event held at Justin Hemmes brand spankin' super-venue Ivy on January 1.

Bar and Leo Adopt....For A Day!

2007-12-24T00:48:00.000Z

Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have become makeshift babysitters for children spending the holiday weekend holed up at the Beverly Hills Hotel.The dashing duo took time from their Christmas canoodling to entertain a group of bored kids at the hotel's coffee counter during brunch today.

Leo won over his audience by reading a winter-themed children's book, Snow, and acting out the voices of each charaction. "The kids kept cracking up," our spy reports, noting one boy who donned Leo's black baseball cap.

The Christmas-themed convo continued into an engaging debate about the best Christmas specials on TV. The four kids argued with Leo about which was better, his favorite How the Grinch Stole Christmas or A Charlie Brown Christmas.

His Israeli supermodel girlfriend admitted she didn't grow up watching Christmas specials but said she liked Mariah Carey's Christmas performances.

Both Bar and Leo, who broke up for a few weeks in October, posed for photos, hugged and shared their food with their new friends. Bar offered up her silver dollar pancakes and Leo encouraged two of the tots to try his turkey bacon.

"Leo looks very happy and is very comfortable talking with kids it seems," observed our spy who said that Leo told the kids to meet him by the pool later in the afternoon.

Gisele To Design For D&G

2007-12-20T23:30:00.001Z

Well we knew she's always been a favourite of theirs - she currently fronts the campaign for the fragrance "The One" and has made countless fashion campaigns for them in the past , plus she made her only high fashion runway appearance for many seasons at their catwalk show in Milan last year - but this time the design duo behind D&G, Stefano and Domenico, have gone much further!

It seems Gisele, famed for her modelling talent, is instead going on the other side of the camera to do a 'Kate' (who recently designed her own Topshop range) - design under D&G to front her own range called "Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana". The range will be sold worldwide and will be released next Spring.

Tightfisted Tyra?!

We hear that Tyra Banks' staffers are disgruntled because they got no Christmas gifts even though they uprooted from LA and moved to New York for her. It's rumored that Tyra moved her show to New York because she had a boyfriend there, but she negotiated a 30 million dollar deal.

She did throw a modest holiday party at a lower east side dive bar and her employees drank a lot because there was no food. According to our source, Tyra arrived for a brief stop, looking like a million bucks, and said she was on her way to Italy. Before she left, she told them "I want to thank you guys for working so hard - I have a special guest - here's Santa!" Everybody ran to Santa's big bag and found it was full of limp McDonald's cheeseburgers! Employees got cheeseburgers for Christmas! (Our source isn't sure if the higher-ups got private bonuses but the everyday people didn't.) Staffers tore open their burgers, hoping for gift certificates. Nothing.

Unhappy workers ended up drinking themselves senseless and brawling in the street. One needed an ambulance. Tyra could learn a thing or two about generosity from Oprah.

Kate As We've Never Seen Her Before?

2007-12-20T17:56:00.000Z

Supermodel Kate Moss has her lawyers busy trying to gag her drug-addict ex-boyfriend, Pete Doherty. The Babyshambles frontman is negotiating with Britain's ITV2 network to tell all about their romance and share his x-rated home videos of her in a documentary titled "Kate & Pete: A Love Story."

Doherty, who split with Moss last summer, could make $1 million, a source said, adding, "Producers hope he'll let them use a lot of film he and Kate shot on camcorders." But an insider told PageSix.com, "Kate is furious with Pete. She has contacted her lawyers and plans to get an injunction to stop the production."

Moss will be horrified if the tapes surface. "Some of it is really raunchy stuff Kate believed would never be seen by anyone else," we're told. "She'll feel betrayed."

VSFS 2007 Facts!

2007-12-17T21:48:00.000Z

It's been a slow few days so I thought I'd give you all some interesting facts about this years Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!

For over 8 months, an international team of renowned designers and stylists worked to design and create the sexy runway looks worn by the 30 supermodels at the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The show included 15 corsets, show pieces and accessories that were embellished with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements and made exclusively for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show by Australian jewelry designer Jenny Manik Mercian and took over 6 months to make.

The lingerie, wings and scenery were embellished with more than 1 million CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements for the fashion show.

Parisian shoe designer Christian Louboutin made 75 pairs of custom designed shoes and boots especially for the show.

It required over 3 months and a team of 42 people to produce the 11 pairs of Angel wings that were designed by famed wingman Martin Izquierdo for this year's show.

The retractable snowflake wings worn by Supermodel Heidi Klum in the last section of the show was a first in that the beautiful snowflake expanded to 10 feet in width as she stepped out on to the runway.

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova's opening look featured a custom made outfit created by LeSage. This incredible creation was made of sequins and included a corset, jacket, boots and a headdress. Costing $20,000, it was the single most expensive outfit in the history of the fashion show.

Supermodel Selita Ebanks was also strutting down the runway in a high price tag herself. She modeled the Very Sexy Fantasy Set costing $4.5 million. This set was created exclusively for VS by famed international jeweler Mouawad.

For the first time ever, Victoria's Secret and Mouawad designed an entire set to go along with the Fantasy Bra and panty by adding a hair pin, garter and cuff. All pieces of the Fantasy gift set were encrusted with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and yellow sapphires taking over 880 hours to make.

This year's show included 2 feather trains and 1 cape that were all over 10 feet in length and took over 3 months to create. All of these masterpieces were made of rare feathers.
VS had to charter a DC-9 cargo plane and 63 foot line haul truck in order to ship the outfits, wings, shoes, makeup and wardrobe supplies from New York to Los Angeles for the show.

Twenty-five cartons of Very Sexy Makeup were shipped from New York to LA to be used on the models for the show.

Of course, the show would not be complete without shimmering, bronze, scented skin which is why the Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze Bronzing Booth was created exclusively for the show. Before hitting the runway, the Angels achieved their golden glow by using Bare Bronze Self-Tan Tint, Leg-Perfecting Spray Tint, Sexy Sparkle Shimmer Moisture Mist, Sexy Sparkle Body Oil and Body Powder.

It took 18 makeup artists, 15 hair stylists, 8 nail technicians, and 7 body bronzers to prep and a beautify the 30 models for the fashion show. Four massage therapists were also on hand to help the models unwind during their breaks.

Over 40 bottles of Victoria's Secret Sexy Sparkle Body Powder in Vanilla Gold was used to make the sexy bodies on the runway shimmer!

The most popular lipstick and lip gloss at the fashion show was undeniably Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Makeup Perfect Lipstick in VIP and Very Sexy Makeup Lip Gloss in Intimate. So popular that the models wore the shades for the rest of the evening.

The sexy vibe continued on into the evening as the after party began at the Renaissance Hotel. Alessandra Ambrosio, Selita Ebanks, Adriana Lima, Izabel Goulart and Miranda Kerr were all spotted busting a move on the dance floor.

A party is the only way to describe the atmosphere backstage where the all of the models danced away to the music while they waited their turn to walk the runway.

Approximately 73 gallons of Imperia Vodka were consumed at the after party!

2007-12-14T23:00:00.000Z

She's been keeping quiet on the relationship front since splitting with long term boyfriend Helly Nahmad earlier this year, but it appears brazilian beauty Ana Beatriz Barros could be taken once again - let's face it, we're not really suprised!

Apparently, she was recently spotted in Sao Paulo making out with Robertinho Marinho, grandson of the Globo founder and an ex of close friend Raica Oliviera, at club Disco where she was partying the night away.

Miranda and Orlando Sighting

It's everyone's favourite are-they-aren't-they couple once again, and they've been fuelling the rumours by being spotted together in Hong Kong recently where Orlando is rumoured to be filming his latest blockbuster. We think, after the many sightings/rumours, its looking a lot more ON than OFF!

Alessandra's Grumpy Boyfriend!

2007-12-06T22:47:00.000Z

As if it's not enough for this guy that his girlfriend is the super-hot brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio he isn't willing to share her around, even to her fans!

When an adoring fan approached Alessandra asking for a picture in New York she was happy to oblige, but her boyfriend on the other hand wasn't, dragging her into a cab to get away! You can see the video here:

Being Beautiful Isn't Always Easy

2007-12-01T23:40:00.000Z

We all have our own memories of "Mean Girls" (and guys), but it is somewhat comforting to know that the world's sexiest supermodels (aka the Victoria's Secret Angels) suffered teasing and taunting through those terrible teen years over the very assets that have brought them fame today.

"Growing up, I had a lot of friends that were boys but they certainly weren't all over me, it was the opposite," Karolina Kurkova told Pop Tarts backstage while getting primed and prepped for the VS Annual Runway Show, which airs Tuesday night. "Most girls were already women, and here I was so tall with really long arms and really long legs. Boys definitely didn't think I was cute," she said.

However, the Czech-born beauty didn't let nasty name-calling deny her of her dream."I've overcome it all — you have to accept yourself, be confident and believe in yourself because the audience can tell if you don't," she said. "You just can't look around and look at her body and look at her abs, you have to accept yourself. I love my body, I love myself."

And while busty Brazilian Izabel Goulart also has every reason to totally love herself, there was once a time when she thought she was the least sexy specimen in her school. "No boys for me growing up! I was so skinny and tall. Everybody called me a giraffe," Goulart said. "I had no boobs and no butt and nobody liked me, I was so lonely. All the boys would come to me and want advice because they wanted my friend. But nobody ever wanted me — high school was a very sad, lonely time."

But one Australian "Angel" face who doesn't need to worry too much about being ugly or unappealing is the latest leggy lingerie lass to replace Gisele Bundchen, fresh-faced Miranda Kerr. "Everyone feels their most gorgeous when well-rested, but the good news is that the makeup they use on us makes us look good even if we don't feel good," Kerr said. "But it's so important to embrace what you have been given, that's the most important thing, and just to be grateful. Someone will always have something better than you, but then there are always plenty of people that are less fortunate."

And while the dimple-faced doll is now reportedly "fortunate" enough to be dating Orlando Bloom (Pop Tarts popped Bloom sitting by the side of the stage during the taping of the fashion festivity and canoodling with Kerr at the after-party), she wasn't always such a glamorous gal. "I was such a tomboy growing up — boys didn't think of me as one of the sexy girls," Miranda said. "I was just someone they would beat around with and ride motorbikes with. Now look at me — I'm quite the opposite."

However, it seems Miranda could trade tales with busty buddy Marisa Miller, who once upon a time would have rather worn a wet suit than a Wonderbra.

"It's funny because growing up I was a tomboy, played a lot of sports, so it's funny that my job has taken this direction because I'm really like a T-shirt and jeans kind of girl and my friends always laugh when they see me, because they know me and I'm really low-key," the California native told us. "But at the same time I have become a girly girl and that's what I love about the job — being able to explore this side of yourself. Victoria's Secret makes it very fun to be a girl."

Yet More Miranda Dating Rumours

2007-11-20T22:26:00.000Z

Victoria’s Secret angel Miranda Kerr left the boutique Diavolina in LA on Monday night with her arm wrapped around oil heir and socialite Brandon Davis - Mischa Barton’s ex and once involved with Paris Hilton.

When Miranda spotted paparazzi, she broke off and walked the other way. Kerr has reportedly been seeing Orlando Bloom for the past few months but were first spotted apartment hunting together back in March, and have apparently been spotted eating in New York at various high end restaurants.

Orlando was reportedly backstage this past week to cheer on Miranda at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

VSFS 2007

2007-11-16T20:55:00.001Z

Last night saw the end of many months' excitement and speculation draw to a close - Victoria's Secret's, for this year anyway, were finally revealed to us all in the form of one amazing show and 31 stunning models from all over the world, plus a contest winner whose prize was to take part in the show....but as I'm sure you guessed, she wasn't exactly an ugly duckling and neither did she have an inch to pinch!

The final model list (with a few suprises) is as follows:

Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Andi Muise, Candice Swanepoel, Caroline Winberg, Marija Vujovic, Julia Stegner, Jessica Stam, Eugenia Volodina, Inguna Butane, Behati Prinsloo, Lindsay Ellingson, Elise Crombez, Michaela Kocianova, Flavia Oliviera, Oluchi Onweabega, Jessica White, Isabeli Fontana, Marisa Miller, Hana Sokoupova, Noemie Lenoir, Angela Lindvall, Erin Wasson and Morgane Dubled - plus the mystery contest winner.

Suprisingly, this year some previous fashion show favorites were missed out such as Ana Beatriz Barros, Heather Marks, Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly (she had family problems and had to cancel at the last minute). It also saw the return of old time favourite Isabeli Fontana after her pregnancy, plus Eugenia Volodina and Inguna Butane after a year away from the show.

Once you get past the army of gorgeous girls, the outfits were completely outrageous and in true V.S style totally and utterly fabulous! The themes for this year were; Blade Runner (futuristic animal prints), Age Of Elegance, Pink (road trip - with outfits from different states), Roman Antiques (pottery print), Surreally Sexy (impressionism art) and Deck the Halls (christmas decorations).

This is just a taste of the show - to get the full experience tune into CBS on December 4th to watch the entire show!

Angels At The Walk Of Fame

2007-11-14T18:34:00.000Z

As part of the promotion of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show the V.S angels were given an Award Of Excllence at the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday - with blinding gold metallic jackets and all! Also, the angels made a store appearance to pose along with the hoilday season lingerie and well, just generally look good.

Also, more girls are added to list of who's in tomorrow's show: Andi Muise, Angela Lndvall, Caroline Winberg, Lindsay Ellingson and Quiana Grant.

And on a rather sadder note, Kanye West has cancelled his performance at the show following the recent death of his mother - it's not know if he'll be replaced but the Spice Girls and Seal are still performing.

A Model's Halloween

2007-11-06T18:02:00.000Z

Well with halloween being just over a week ago now all the pictures are in of what our models got up to! It's hard to imagine these girls can look scary but with the some of the costumes we had trouble recognising them! Here's just a few of the models and what they wore....

Alessandra Ambrosio (pictured) dressed up as a playboy bunny with her boyfriend as hugh hefner and her sister Aline as an eygiptian!

Daria Werbowy painted her entire body pale white and wore a large white billowy gown.

Behati Prinsloo dressed in her usual tomboy style we love but added a few rather realistic looking injuries to herself!

Andi Muise....some kind of dominatrix! Complete with an unknown male model friend dressed up as a woman.

Isabeli dating Rico Mansur

2007-11-03T23:16:00.000Z

After divorcing Henri Castelli earlier this year it seems Isabeli Fontana has found new love in the form of brazilian playoby and all around rich boy Rico Mansur, who according to her, 'brings her peace'.

The couple have been dating for 3 months but only just made their relationship official and are on the cover of brazilian gossip magazine 'Istoe Gente' with pictures inside of their time spent together recently in Brazil.

Rico is known for dating brazilian supermodels, with his past beauties including uber model Gisele Bundchen, Leticia Birkheuer, Luana Piovani and Isabella Fiorentino. Isabeli is his first girlfriend who's had children, she has 2 sons, and he's quoted as saying he loves it!

2008 Campaign Rumours

2007-11-03T19:17:00.000Z

It'll be all change at the houses of Versace and Yves Saint Laurent next season, if whispers in fashion's inner core are to be believed. We hear that Gisele is preparing to give up her lucrative contract with YSL in favour of one at Versace, while Donatella's current muse, Kate Moss, shouldn't be too upset about leaving the label – she is off to step into Gisele's shoes at YSL. And after making such a splash for Chanel's cruise collection, it seems Karl Lagerfeld has made it all official and shot Claudia Schiffer for the house's spring/summer 2008 ready-to-wear campaign, too. Confused? Don't be - with months to go until the campaigns launch, the tongue-wagging hasn't even started yet.

VSFS Model List 2007

2007-11-02T23:18:00.000Z

Up to now, these are the models that are confirmed to be walking in the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show....

This is by no means the final list, I suspect Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Heather Marks will be back from last year; along with other regulars Andi Muise, Caroline Trentini, Morgane Dubled and Oluchi Onweabega - and no doubt there will be many more on top of that - only 2 weeks to the show now!

Flying High With Victoria's Secret

2007-11-01T20:14:00.000Z

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a...Victoria Secret model? The Hollywood invasion of the scantily clad lingerie models is upon us.

On Nov. 12, nearly 30 models, including Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller and Miranda Kerr, will arrive in Los Angeles on a special Virgin America flight from New York City for the much anticipated Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which will take place three days later at the Kodak Theatre.

Not only will the plane be branded with the Victoria’s Secret logo, but each of the models will be resting their pretty little heads on custom pillows and wrapping their flawless bodies in matching blankets.

The next day, the models will shut down a part of Hollywood Boulevard when Victoria’s Secret gets its own star in front of the Kodak.

It's A Walkoff!

2007-10-30T18:07:00.000Z

We're just crawling in from the Paper Nightlife Awards, and hands-down the best moment was this: When Perez Hilton tried to introduce Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo onto the stage, but he couldn't say her name.

"I'm not even going to try," sighed Perez before turning to Coco. "Who is she? Where is she from?"Perez was psyched when Behati said she was from Namibia ("Really? Are you serious? That's so hot!") but the real action came when he realized two of our favorite faces were standing blankly on stage."I think you need to have a walk-off," he announced. "Can you do a little walk? Just for me?"The audience went crazy.

The girls went into supermodel mode. And then Perez said, "Okay great, now kiss!"It didn't happen, but that didn't stop Erin Fetherston from almost falling out of her chair from laughter.

Could Adriana Lima turn out to be the mother of Ted Moseby's future children?

CBS has found a way to flog the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and reward the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" at the same time. The network announced Monday (Oct. 29) that a sextet of Victoria's Secret models will be guest starring on the Nov. 26 episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller and Selita Ebanks will give the Monday night comedy a little end-of-sweeps sex appeal, while also helping CBS flog the Tuesday, Dec. 4 telecast of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, an event that has fallen on ratings hard times in recent installments.

Rosie & Tyrone Update

2007-10-25T15:33:00.000Z

Not really that exciting, but this article from UK Newspaper 'The Independent' briefly mentions Rosie Huntington-Whiteley....

Ronnie Wood's snorts'n'all autobiography – a sort of 60-year-old rocker version of Adrian Mole – has mercifully passed the litmus test with his family.

His son Tyrone, 24, has just reached the back cover and the tome receives his benediction, although, as he admits: "I think I have probably heard most of Dad's anecdotes in there a hundred times now." Big brother Jesse, 29, is a quarter of the way through the memoir.

Tyrone dates the 20-year-old Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and shares his old man's passion for art. He runs Scream, the Wood family's Mayfair gallery, and has grand designs on an American showroom.

He tells me: "I'm off to New York next week to speak to a few people about opening a place out there. I'm hopeful."

Rosie lives in New York and so the trip will allow Ty to spend more time with her. Which will be nice for him.

In a recent interview Rosie had this to say on her relationship with Ty; "I think it's serious. There's a healthy future ahead of us. We've both experienced so much in our early years that we're not mentally the age we are. I'm not too fazed by anything and neither is he."

She plans to spend more time in the UK and is currently staying with the Woods until she finds her own place, she's getting on well with Ronnie and Jo. "The whole of Ty's family are really nice" she says. 'Leah's wicked and so's her fiancé Jack, and Ty's half-brothers Jamie and Jesse. It's great to be able to be relaxed around your boyfriend's family."

And Rosie on meeting Ty at the Rolling Stones concert at Barcelona? "We went out and got talking, I don't really know what happened," she mumbled "It was like, ah, you know, and I was like, he's kind of cute, I guess...."

Sounds unpromsing but these guys are definetley smitten and one of the hottest couples in London right now....we LOVE them!

Bar Following in Gisele's Romance Footsteps

2007-10-24T18:15:00.001Z

Leonardo DiCaprio is looking for a new model - he’s split with his post-Gisele Bundchen babe, Bar Refaeli.

On Friday night at Sweet Paradise on Orchard Street, DiCaprio was with Josh Hartnett checking out the arm candy at the after-party for the new skateboarding film “Nothing But the Truth.” And, in an odd twist, Refaeli’s new squeeze is surfer Kelly Slater, who dated Bundchen after she and the “Titanic” star broke up.

Slater got into some trouble over the weekend in Israel when he and Refaeli exited a hotel in the Tel Aviv suburb of Herzliya before dawn to find photographers waiting for them. He was arrested after fighting with local paparazzi.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told The AP that in an effort to prevent the cameramen from taking pictures, Slater pushed them. A brawl broke out, and Slater was taken in for questioning and later released, Rosenfeld said.

Cuckoo For Coco

2007-10-23T19:48:00.000Z

Friday afternoon in Harlem was like a trip to Ireland with the arrival of the Eire Born dancers from Vancouver. Coco Rocha brought her childhood dance troupe to New York City for an afternoon of dancing to benefit the Children's Aid Society. "It's something fun and different for them," Rocha explained. "It wasn't a huge crowd, but these are kids who are interested in dance. It was all a matter of how can we bring this dance to the Children's Aid Society? This is what I know and care about. I can't say I have experienced cancer, and I just don't want people to think I'm fake. I wanted to do this so they can see that there's more out there and it really can be someone's life support and you don't have to do a typical job. And it's also just an hour of nothing but fun for them. The girls are just so excited to see it."

Though the children weren't completely familiar with Coco, the model captivated them as she does the fashion industry: they proceeded to scream her name immediately after they were introduced. A dancer since the age of five, the model spent the afternoon learning the steps to an hour long performance just to bring entertainment to the children. And afterwards, the dancers brought the kids to the stage, teaching them a few steps, which the kids quickly interpreted with their own forms of dance.

"It makes it easy to be on the runway," Rocha explained of her transition from dancing to modeling. "It's all about putting on an attitude. I had to learn to perform in the sense that it's just playing around up there. Photographers can tell who was a dancer and who wasn't. Walking is just so 'plain Jane.' I put on the runway attitude, but shows like John Galliano's, where you can sit on someone's lap if you like, are just so fun."

As far as Irish dancing costumes are concerned, Rocha laughed. "It's not à la mode, but it's tradition and that's really what Irish dancing is about. You can say they're tacky, but it's the tradition of years ago when this was a form of entertainment. People would just get up and dance."

Gisele Hangs Out In Miami

VS Phi Beta PINK Party

2007-10-23T15:54:00.000Z

You know the opening scene from Legally Blonde that makes you wish you were in a sorority? That’s exactly what this white and hot-pink mansion looks like. Except instead of college students, the honorary chair is Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, and she’s invited Hollywood’s trendiest partygoers to her Beverly Hills sorority house. Welcome to Victoria's Secret's Phi Beta Pink Social.

When I enter the mansion (adorned with large Grecian columns), I’m handed a plastic cup. This will allow me access to the keg and the beer-pong table out back, where guests like model Lydia Hearst are already playing with hot-pink Ping-Pong balls. Of course, if I lose my cup I can always channel my E! cohort Ben Lyons and start funneling or doing keg-stands. But after all my frat parties in college, I think I’m over that scene.

I prefer to partake in the other activities available: roasting marshmallows in minibonfires, chowing down on burgers fresh off the grill, playing pool on a hot-pink table and personalizing hoodies—one of the night's most popular doings. I told you this wasn't your normal kegger—especially since many of the guests, like Danity Kane’s Aubrey O'Day and newly Afroed Rumer Willis, never made it through college.

“I never really got a college experience,” Lauren "L.C." Conrad tells me. “I’ve gone to frat parties with my guy friends, but nobody’s throwing up here, so it’s a lot better.” Audrina Patridge agrees, adding she loves the pink theme (what girl wouldn’t?). She lets slip that another Malibu beach party is coming up on the next episode of The Hills—and then takes off to get her drink on.

Meanwhile, David Hasselhoff stampedes through the party with actress Lori Kelly, frantically searches for a water bottle at the bar and then takes off in a whirlwind. The Hoff is sure in a hurry, but at least he’s drinking water! Much calmer is Matthew Perry. But apparently he isn't in the best of moods. I try to talk to one of the only college graduates at the party about how the scene compares to his Canadian academic years, but he’d rather stay low-key. “Can I say no?” he asks me, trying to avoid any questions. I reluctantly nod my head. “Then no.” F for Politeness 101!

Lacey Chabert is much happier to share her memories. “I learned about body glitter when I was 13,” she tells me as we check out Pink apparel in the garage out front. “I still love it!” She’s decided to cover up tonight, but the Mean Girls star still sparkles as she rummages through the sweats, tees and hoodies in the gifting lounge. But nobody shines brighter than model Alessandra Ambrosio, who steals fellow Angel Miranda’s spotlight the minute she flies inside in her belted, white shirt-dress to take pictures with Paris Hilton and other guests. If this were truly a sorority, I’d want her as my big sister.

Too bad this isn't a university reality. If schools had models and socialites that looked like this running around campus, every kid in America would probably be in college.
