Laetitia Casta - Top Fashion Model

2008-07-24T06:26:00.000-07:00

Bio: Laetitia was raised in Normandie and Corsica, France, in the middle of an animal-filled forest, Laetitia has a down-home charm that's truly infectious. At the age of fifteen, Laetitia was discovered while vacationing with her family on a beach in Corsica, "the island of beauty", in France.

A modeling agent from the Madison Models' Agency approached her, and handed her father a business card with an invitation to bring his daughter to Paris for some test shoots. Once her father finally agreed to the agency taking some test photographs, her unmistakable potential was recognized by the founder of Madison Models - despite the fact that the shoot occurred without the aid of makeup and a designer wardroom which many models rely on to promote themselves. Within weeks of her first shoots, she was walking the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier. However, her career did not begin to take off until the director of the French edition of Elle saw and was impressed with Laetitia's looks.

Modeling contracts and appearances in magazines quickly ensued. Paul Marciano, founder and art director of Guess? who is incidentally accredited for the success of Claudia Schiffer - was taken by Casta's near perfection. Her work in the Guess ad (she became their new front Girl) was her debut advertising campaign. Shot by Neil Kirk in Jamaica in October 1994. Thanks to Marciano, Guess has brought her international exposure and recognition.

In addition to Rolling Stone, Casta has adorned the pages of many other magazines, including the Italian edition of Glamour; Vogue; and Cosmopolitan. In 1998, she joined Kate Moss and Jennifer Aniston in becoming a spokesperson for cosmetics company L'Oreal. Casta's relationship with designer Yves St. Laurent has helped to promote her career. Since 1998 Casta's public outfits have all been personal Yves St. Laurent creations.

Her appearance in the exclusive Pirelli calendar, considered a collector's item because it consists of beautiful shots taken by the most prestigious photographers, is considered one of Casta's accomplishments. In the 1999 issue, themed Women Through the Decades, Casta is featured as representative of the 1950's woman.

She lives in Paris with her parents, older brother and younger sister. Laetitia enjoys car racing with her friends, traveling, cooking with her mum and spending time with her younger sister. Laetitia also has a brown belt in Judo, she feels that it helps her in her modeling career to have control. To set limits for herself, to adopt a non-aggressive stance and to think with her mind not her emotions.

Laetitia became a French national obsession when she was elected by all the French mayors to be the representation of Marianne's effigy, the French Republic symbol. Known for her great sense of humor and a good head on her shoulders, Laetitia can look forward to a bright future.

Keeley Rebecca Hazell - Supermodel

2008-07-24T06:25:00.000-07:00

Keeley is just one of the great talents to arise from South-East's London popular town, Lewisham- before her sprung Jude Law, Kate Bush, Gabrielle and even Eric Clapton. Living there for eighteen years of her life, she attended The Ravensbourne School in the local borough of Bromley, and although her career is taking her to far flung places on the globe she still calls London home.

At sixteen Keeley left school, and went straight out to work as a trainee hairdresser. It was here she was given the encouragement by her work colleagues to try modelling. Keeley then seventeen decided to give modelling a chance and paid to have professional pictures taken- little was she to know these pictures would be a starting point for so many more fantastic things to come; she sent them off to The Daily Star and was entered into a competition which she later won.

Only seventeen and not legally allowed to topless model she decided to go onto college where she studied fashion, something she had always wanted to do. She was there barely three months when her friend told her about the Page 3 Idol competition running in The Sun. After some hard thought about what she wanted to do with her career she decided to give it a go and sent some snapshots off.

In December 2004 Keeley won the competition, bagging several exciting prizes; her biggest and best was her first, international shoot with Alan Strutt. Here she was shipped away to Tobago for one week of sea, sun and sand, and from it came the pictures which set tongues wagging; here was something special.

Since then Keeley has skyrocketed from a rebellious, trainee hairdresser to being crowned one of the World's Sexiest Women by FHM. Her career is globally covering the whole spectrum from brands to magazines to tabloids and broadsheets hence she is the face of Sony’s Playstation 3 Edition, Formula One 06 and has most recently lead the advertising campaign for Lynx Dark Temptation deodorant.

She has graced the covers both nationally and internationally of Arena, FHM, Maxim, Loaded, ZOO and Nuts (to name but a few) as well as drawing the attention of British broadsheets such as The Sunday Independent who have featured several articles on the beauty, as well as a cover on their ‘Sunday Review’ magazine. She is a keen environmentalist and has been recognised by the British Conservative Leader David Cameron as a huge Environmental Icon.

The demand on ‘Keeley Mania’ is so strong in 2007 she released two calendars, both of which were the fastest selling calendars of the year. Most recently she is progressing in to singing and presenting with her first music video ‘Voyeur’ being set to release for download in May 2008 and the online technology programme which she co-presents ByteMeTv attracting a huge fan base. It is becoming clear the phenomenal Keeley is now more than just a competition winner as she proceeds to make herself a recognisable household name.

Sophie Monk - Top Fashion Model

2008-07-24T06:22:00.000-07:00

Sophie Charlene Akland Monk is an Australian pop singer, actress and occasional model. She was once a member of female pop group Bardot and has since established a solo career with the release of one album, Calendar Girl. More recently, she turned her hand to acting, starring in comedies such as Date Movie and Click.

Monk's professional music career began in 1999 when she responded to an advertisement requesting girls with vocal and dance experience. Monk (Top Fashion Model, Hot Fashion Model, Top Supermodel), who had been performing since she was eight years old, drove all night to audition for the first series of Popstars, a TV talent show which aimed to create a successful new girl group. In one audition, she performed a rendition of Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday, Mr. President", working on her previous experience as a Monroe impersonator at Warner Bros. Movie World.

Monk ((Top Fashion Model, Hot Fashion Model, Top Supermodel) during the music video for Bardot's Top 5 hit "ASAP"After numerous rounds of singing and dancing workshops, Monk was selected as a member of the group, which was named Bardot. Popstars was one of the most successful and high-rating programs of 2000.

Bardot became the first Australian act to debut at the #1 position with both its debut single, "Poison", and self-titled debut album. Further singles "I Should've Never Let You Go" and "These Days" followed and in August, the group embarked on its first national tour. Bardot performed at the 2000 ARIA Awards at which they were nominated in three categories.

In July 2001, the group released "ASAP", the first single from their second album. Bardot now had more control over their music and image. The single peaked Top 5, as did follow-up single, "I Need Somebody", their most successful single since "Poison". The second album, Play It Like That debuted at #16, achieving gold status. Monk co-wrote the album track "Feel Right" with fellow bandmate Sally Polihronas. In 2002, final single, "Love Will Find A Way" completed Bardot's string of consecutive Top 20 hits and the group embarked on its second national tour. In May, the group disbanded.

Monk (Top Fashion Model, Hot Fashion Model, Top Supermodel) during the music video for "Inside Outside"Soon after Bardot's split, Monk began work on her solo career, re-signing a solo contract with Warner Music. She travelled oversees to work with some well-known producers including hit maker Rob Davis (famous for co-writing Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head") and this resulted in two tracks, "Inside Outside", Monk's debut solo single and the album track "Don't Push It". Sophie performed her new single for the very first time in September on the grand final edition of the AFL Footy Show at Rod Laver Arena. "Inside Outside" was released October 28 and after a week of busy promotion, debuted in the Top 5, spending a total of 12 weeks in the ARIA Top 50, receiving gold status. Monk (Top Fashion Model, Hot Fashion Model, Top Supermodel) also co-wrote the b-side "Luv Me" (in dedication to her long-term boyfriend of the time) with producer Shane Monopoly. Adding to her growing profile was her role as model and spokesperson for Expozay Swimwear. Second single, "Get The Music On" became another Top 10 hit, spending 10 weeks in the Top 50. Monk also featured in humorous advertisements for Diet Vanilla Coke. The single's b-side "Shake" was also co-written by her.

In May 2003, Monk released her debut solo album, Calendar Girl, which surprised many by mixing contemporary pop-dance and funk with classical opera interludes, Monk having been classically trained growing up. Despite heavy promotion including TV advertising and instore appearances, the album debuted at #35 which was seen as a disappointing result. The album's final single, the ballad "One Breath Away", was re-recorded and mixed for single release, peaking at #23 in July, spending only 9 weeks in the Top 100. Despite beginning work on new material in early 2004, including songs with dance act Rogue Traders, Monk parted ways with Warner Music. The material created during these sessions has yet to surface.

In early July 2006, Monk revealed that she has signed to Brian McKnight's management team who have sourced some material she describes as "... a bit heavier. There's nothing like it, I can't compare it. I couldn't say what artist it's like". She has confirmed that she is recording three songs for her upcoming film Spring Breakdown and that one of the songs "Candy" will be released as a single to coincide with the film's release.

Monk as Andy in Date Movie, parodying Paris Hilton. Monk has since established herself in Hollywood, having played Marilyn Monroe for a high-budget telemovie The Mystery Of Natalie Wood (2004) and starred in the music video "Always" for rock group Blink 182. In February 2006, she starred in her debut feature role as the flirtatious and seductive 'best man' Andy in the spoof comedy Date Movie. A scene in the film sees Monk act out a parody of the infamous Paris Hilton burger advertisement. The film was a box office hit, reaching #2 in the US and #1 in Australia, UK and New Zealand.

June saw the release of the Adam Sandler film Click, a story about a universal remote control. The film debuted at #1 on both the US and Australian box office charts. Monk plays Stacey, David Hasselhoff's flirtatious, bimbo secretary who she described in an interview as "... kind of a floozy that kind of just works there because she gets around a bit. Another serious character".

Paris Hilton Profile and Biography

2008-07-10T22:48:00.000-07:00

Born: February 17, 1981
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius (known for being independent and intellectual)
Parents: Hotel chain heir Richard Hilton and socialite/actress Kathy Richards
Lives in: Hollywood Hills
Drives: According to the terms of her release, nothing anymore.
Height: 5' 8”
Education: Attended several High Schools but eventually earned a GED.
Religion: Known to have dabbled in Kabbalah, although she recently caused a stir by carrying around several religious and self-help books, including the Bible.

Model/actress/socialite Paris Whitney Hilton was born February 17, 1981, in New York City. Thanks to her great-grandfather Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotel chain, Paris is the shared heir to a family fortune estimated at $300 million. The daughter of Rick and Kathy Hilton, Paris grew up alongside her younger sister, Nicky, and two brothers, Baron and Conrad, in their homes in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria, Beverly Hills and The Hamptons.

After graduating from high school, Paris pursued a modeling career, appearing in such national publications as GQ and Vanity Fair and on runways for various New York designers. She soon became a well-known jetsetter, courting media attention for her outrageous lifestyle. Whether it was a short-lived romance with Leonardo DiCaprio or boxer Oscar de la Hoya or a rude remark in a public bathroom during a night of partying with her sister, Paris frequently received bad press for her socialite antics. A notorious sex tape starring Paris and her ex Rick Solomon, which was released on the Internet, didn’t help matters.

In 2001, perhaps in an effort to clean up her reputation, she turned from modeling to acting, appearing in Ben Stiller’s spoof Zoolander, an adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic The Cat in the Hat and 2004’s Raising Helen with Kate Hudson. But it was her turn as herself in the 2003 Fox reality show The Simple Life that earned her the most publicity. Starring Paris and her best gal pal Nicole Richie (daughter of legendary pop icon Lionel), the show followed the girls on their misadventures while trying to get along on a working farm. The show was such a hit, that Fox followed it up the next year with The Simple Life 2: Road Trip.

In May 2005, Hilton announced her engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. The couple called off the nutpials in October. She has also been romantically linked to Greek shipping fortune heir Stavros Niarchos III and actor Josh Henderson.

The latest installment of Hilton's reality series, The Simple Life Goes to Camp, premiered in 2007. But her return to television was overshadowed by her legal problems. Arrested in September 2006 for driving under the influence, she had received probation for that offense. But she then was caught in February 2007 driving with a suspended license and charged with violating her terms of her probation. In May she was sentenced to 45 days in jail. This was later reduced to 23 days. Hilton reported to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, on the night of June 3. Earlier that evening, she had appeared at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards.

After serving only three full days in prison, Hilton was released early in the morning on June 7. She was reportedly released early for health reasons. To finish her sentence, Hilton ordered to spend 40 days in home confinement.

Childhood

Julia Alexandratou was born on November 24, 1986 to a father who hails from Kefalonia, named Zisimos Alexandratos and a mother who hails from London, England, named Allison Hunt-Alexandratou. Her father is a highly-educated mechanical engineer, while her mother is a former model. She also has a sister three years her senior, Artemis Alexandratou.

From a very young age, Julia's beauty and talent were revealed. Along with her mother, she modeled in numerous magazines and children's fashion ads. She has modelled since the age of 4 and has also participated and won in countless pageants. At age 7, she was enrolled in ballet lessons, and later on in vocal and acting training, and she exhibited great potential. Julia entered the Miss Young pageant in 2002, and conquered the first prize, at the age of only 15. During times where there were familial problems, Julia lived in London with her mother for a couple of years. After these times Julia pulled back from her artistic training.

Career

In 2006, Julia returned to the entertainment industry with her participation in the 17th Miss Star Hellas pageant which took place on April 9,2006 (semi-final), and April 11, 2006 (finals). Julia was considered to be the favorite to win the competition, as the judges had all given her all perfect 10 points in all four rounds of the competition, a first ever in the entire history of the pageant, and still to date. Julia also made history on the night of the semi-finals, where she was awarded both of the 'special awards': a crown for 'Miss Diva', and then another prixe of a pearl necklace for 'Miss Lux'. One contestant being the recipient of both titles had never occurred before. However, at the end of the semi-finals Julia seemed to be uncomfortable with some of the arrangements, and had mad a facial gesture after receiving both titles. One the night of the finals, she remained the favourite and maintained perfect scores, but in the time period where the judges had given their opinions, actor Kostas Sommer had responded I think it's obvious that number 9 [Julia Alexandratou], has definitely been distinguished from the rest of the ladies, except for certain behavioral issues. Sommer's comment was later castigated by the Greek media, as soon after, Julia lost the first title to Olympia Hopsonidou winning Miss B' Star Hellas. Soon after the event, the Greek network Antenna that had held it, and its producers received much harsh criticism for 'robbing' Alexandratou of the title, and it was often thought to be a publicity stunt by the network.

After the competition, Alexandratou had exclaimed I've worn a lot of crowns in my life. I really didn't need another one. Many people took this as ego, but Julia had later expressed that what she meant was that I like the work of a model but I am not crazy about it, and that she was eager to pusrue other things. Julia was to participate in the Miss International pageant in Tokyo, Japan, but she did not, supposedly due to budget cuts, or her own will.

Julia made her first appearance after the competition on a live show of Fame Story4, and was a guest singer the Greek song titled "Mono Yia Sena" ("Only For You") by former Fame Story3 contestant Andreas Constantinidis, which was featured as the first single on his debut album and she also appeared in the video clip. The song became one of the biggest hits of the whole year and also had great success on the video charts, ringtones, and download charts. After her participation, she was frequently questioned if she was going to pursue a career in music. A few months later, Julia was a co-host to the hit show Megalicious Chart Live! alongside Mad TV presenter Themis Georgandas. She did many television appearances, and in the course of one year, did over 10 magazine covers on magazines such as Nitro, Diva, and Celebrity. Losing the pageant seemed to have sky-rocketed her fame, and the publicity seemed to never end for the youg artist. Her subsequent fame and popularity, led to her hosting her own show, called Music Bee, with her friend Stathis Aitiatoglou. Originally, the show was highly-anticipated and had an informative theme of music news in Greece and abroad. Unfortunately, the ratings soon dropped, but this was rumored to be because of conflicts with her network on payroll, as well as Antenna trying to change her public image and conflicts in her personal life, and it was speculated that she herself had left the network.

In 2007, she released two singles on her own, "Stohos Einai Ta Lefta" ("The Target Is The Money") and "I Vasilissa Tis Pistas" ("The Queen Of The Dance Floor"). She also made her film debut in a comedy by Nikos Perakis, playing a singer named Areti. She starred alongside actors such as Giorgios Kimoulis, and the film premiered in December, with good critiques. Recently, rumors of recording a studio album and a Hollywood film deal have existed. There has also been talk of Julia pursuing an international career, in both film and music.

Karolína Isela Kurková (born February 28, 1984) is a Czech supermodel, best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. Mario Testino said of Kurková, "The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who could fit almost into any moment. Designer Marc Jacobs said, "She has an angelic look with a dark side, she's sweet and fun but looks like she could be an evil bewitching child."Vogue editor Anna Wintour called her the "next supermodel".
Early life and career
Karolína Kurková was born in Děčín, Czechoslovakia, to Josef Kurka, a Czech basketball player, and a Slovak mother.

After a friend sent photos of Kurková to an agency in Prague, she immediately landed a runway appearance, as well as a commercial and print ad. She was 15 at the time. She later traveled to Milan to gain more experience. There, Miuccia Prada, the designer behind the brand Prada, signed her to a modeling contract. Daughter of a Czech basketball star, Karolina Kurkova inherited her father’s figure and height. After a best friend encouraged her to send her pictures to an agency in Prague, Karolina found herself walking on catwalks as well as appearing in commercials and print ads.
Kurkova subsequently flew to Milan, where she was signed by well-known Italian fashion designer Miuccia Prada. In September 1999, the hard-working 15-year-old model landed a modeling job with fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue, in New York.

Moving to the Big Apple, Kurkova, at the tender age of 17, received America’s recognition when she graced the cover of the February 2001 edition of Vogue, becoming one of the youngest models ever to appear on the magazine’s cover. This led to deals with the famed lingerie retail marketer Victoria's Secret, where she was selected as one of their “Angels” and has appeared in a string of the company’s popular TV specials. Additionally, Kurkova also signed a deal with French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and world-famous designer Tommy.

"What I love the most about modeling is that it opens you a lot of different doors of opportunities and takes you to many different places, which then put you in touch with various people and cultures." Karolina Kurkova
Meanwhile, Kurkova has also appeared on NBC’s talk show "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and in the fashion documentary Seamless, in 2005. She also has tried her hand in acting and just completed her first film, My Sexiest Year, a romantic coming-of-age drama/comedy written and directed by Howard Himelstein.

The New Face Of Asia

2008-07-03T03:42:00.000-07:00

GROWING UP IN A SMALL village in northeastern Thailand, Rojjana Phetkanha, 23, spent her childhood working in rice fields and helping tend the family’s water buffalo. She never went beyond sixth grade in school. But four years ago she was discovered by a fashion designer and rose quickly to stardom. Now she is a lead model for Chanel, and her face appears at bus stops in Paris and in leading fashion magazines around the world. She’s had a bit part in a Bruce Willis movie and a role in a George Michael music video. Her success, she says, may signal a breakthrough for Asian models who–like her–are darker-skinned, and have suffered from a prejudice against women considered too “”Asian-looking.” In Bangkok, Yui (as she is known) talked with the help of a Thai translator to NEWSWEEK’S Ron Moreau.

2008-07-03T03:39:00.000-07:00

Ambassador for British cool – Agyness Deyn is to be the new face of Shiseido. The Japanese makeup brand has dropped Angelina Jolie and announced that Agyness will be their new face for the autumn/winter 2008-9 Maquillage campaign.
Angelina Jolie will be stepping down as the brand ambassador after enjoying two years fronting the campaign. As beautiful as Angelina is, Agyness has an undeniably edgier and younger appeal that is well suited to the cutting-edge brand.
As well as making her musical debut recently, singing vocals on “Who” with the Five O’Clock Heroes, Agyness told NME that she’s formed her own band called Gene Jacket. Add her impressive modelling CV, which includes campaigns for Burberry and Jean Paul Gaultier, and she’s obviously on a roll. Keep up the good work, Agie!

Demelza is Australia’s Next Top Model

2008-07-03T03:35:00.000-07:00

SHE picked on her housemates and was told she was too fat for the catwalk, but teenager Demelza Reveley has been crowned Australia’s Next Top Model.
The 16-year-old from Wollongong relied on the viewer’s vote to win the Fox 8 reality show after the panel of fashionista judges failed to reach a decision among themselves.
Three of the six backed Demelza and three wanted Sydney girl Alexandra Girdwood to take the title.
The winner picked up a modelling contract with make-up king Napoleon Perdis, a spread in Australian Vogue and chance to strut their stuff on catwalks around the world.
Demelza had faced a storm of criticism for bullying a rival model earlier in the show, but she saw her standing soar when designer Alex Perry told her she needed to lose inches off her hips.
But Byron Bay beauty Alamela Rowan, 17, who was pelted with water bombs, had a bucket of water tipped over her head and was subjected to other taunts and attacks by Demelza, said she shouldn’t have been allowed to reach the final.
Alamela’s dad Peter told Confidential that Demelza, the self-named “bitchketeer” should have been instantly removed.
He said his daughter had been “gagged” and told she couldn’t tell her story on a current affairs program about what she has called “one of the worst times of my life”.
Meanwhile, fans of the reality modelling show would have noticed host Jodhi Meares missing from last night’s live broadcast.
Jodhi, who was criticised for stumbling through last year’s live final, opted to instead pre-record some segments.

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been attacked by the Brazilian media

2008-07-02T12:44:00.000-07:00

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova has been attacked by the Brazilian media for appearing too fat on the runway.

Karolina Kurkova Supermodel

Czech Kurkova was slated in the country for appearing in a bikini with what critics called "back fat, love handles and cellulite".

Kurkova, 24, is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel whose superfit physique has graced the pages of fashion magazines around the world.

But her recent appearance at the Cia Maritima show during Sao Paulo Fashion Week had fashion critics up in arms.

An article in a Brazilian paper about the leggy 5'11" Kurkova described how "shocked" the audience was when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with "cellulite on her butt."

Kurkova is one of the world's highest-paid models, according to Forbes.

In addition to Victoria's Secret, she has featured in campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Chanel and Balenciaga.

The fashion industry has been under fire recently for its promotion of skinny models and pledged to adopt a more healthy image for young girls who often force themselves to become thin in the battle to secure a place among the top tier.

In 2006, Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston, 21, made headlines when she died of anorexia on the eve of a Paris photoshoot after subsisting on a diet of apples and tomatoes for several months. At 5'8", she weighed just 39.9kg.

In 2007, Uruguayan fashion model Eliana Ramos, 18, died of a heart attack believed to be related to malnutrition.

The shocking deaths prompted a public outcry and heavy criticism of the fashion industry for promoting unattainable standards of beauty.

Karolina Kurkova plays Covergirl in G.I.Joe

2008-07-02T12:42:00.000-07:00

VICTORIA’S Secret lingerie model Karolina Kurkova plays Covergirl in Paramount Pictures’ G.I.Joe movie but her costume couldn’t be less covergirl-ish. Promotional photos show Victoria’s Secret angel dressed in ugly grey army fatigues - just when did authenticity get a role in action fantasy with a lingerie model?

No wonder some disappointment has been expressed by the boy-bloggers and fans of G.I.Joe. Information about the movie is sketchy, with even the industry Bible of film production imdb.com still listing Brendan Fraser on its cast list - a fact which Robert Sanchez of www.iesb.net has announced is wrong, after visiting the set.

Sanchez says he was one of only six members of the media allowed to visit the Downey Studios this week - though his interviews with the cast have been embargoed. Instead he writes on his blog about the studio location - which was once used by NASA to construct different vehicles for the Apollo Space Program and for the building of the Space Shuttles Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor.

Again with the authenticity? The script is co-written by Sydney’s Stuart Beattie, who wrote Baz Luhrman’s Australia and the three Pirates of the Caribbean screenplays. But lets get it straight, for those of us who might think that G.I.Joe is a character, G.I.Joe stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity - a unit of black operatives who operate out of a headquarters called The Pit.

And the G.I.Joes go by loveable names such as Duke, Snake Eyes, and General Hawk. Apart from Robert Sanchez’s ravings about the sets, it appears that concern is that the casting of Dennis Quaid and the rubber outfits are signs that the movie will turn out a little camp. But Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in Phantom Menace, does play Snake Eyes.

Paramount released a few photos of cast in black rubber costumes a while back which met with cool to disappointed responses from online G.I.Joe fans. The latest photos were of Sienna Miller on set in her black rubber suit. There’s not a lot of compliments in the online community of potential theatre-goers - apart from the ravings of Robert Sanchez for iesb.net.

Not that Paramount will be worried about one flop next year, as Variety’s Anne Thompson reports in her blog, the studio raked in $1 billion on the back of a year of blockbusters including: Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda, Iron Man, and the No Country For Old Men, which won an Oscar for Best Film.

Heidi Klum has been on the cover of most of the well-known fashion magazines, including Vogue Magazine, ELLE and Marie Claire. She became widely known after appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and for her work with Victoria's Secret and gained popularity as part of Thomas Zeumer's Metropolitan Models. In addition to working with world class photographers on her Sports Illustrated shoots, she was the object/subject of Joanne Gair body painting works in the several edition ranging from 1999 to 2006.

She wrote the foreword to Gair's most recent book of body paint work. She has been a spokesmodel for McDonald's, Braun, H & M, and Liz Claiborne, among others. She is currently a celebrity spokesmodel for Jordache and for Volkswagen. In addition to modeling, she has appeared in several TV shows, including Spin City, Sex and the City, Yes, Dear, and How I Met Your Mother. She had a role as an ill-tempered hair model in the movie Blow Dry, played a giantess in the movie Ella Enchanted and was cast as Ursula Andress in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. She also had cameo appearances in The Devil Wears Prada and Perfect Stranger.

In July 2007, having earned an estimated $8 million in the previous 12 months, Klum was named by Forbes as third on the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels. In 2008, Forbes estimated her income to be $14 million, which put Klum in second place on the list, surpassing Kate Moss ($7.5 million), but still well behind Gisele Bundchen ($35 million). Klum is signed to IMG Models in New York City.

The "Model '92" competition, organized by the Petra magazine and a New York Model agency, had a grueling selection process, where thirty to forty applicants arrived to Munich, hoping to be chosen as one of the three to appear on the Saturday Show of Gottschalk. While candidates were eliminated on a weekly basis, Heidi was one of the three finalists, and made the final cut to become "Model '92."

What began as a "just for fun" contest, turned into a life-altering event for the beautiful brunette. Heidi immediately signed a contract with the Metropolitan modeling agency, for a minimum of three years.

Heidi's first modeling gigs were for the Petrol catalogue. Before heading to the other side of the Atlantic, she modeled in fashion capitals such as Paris and Milan. When she finally did move overseas, Heidi found work in Miami before making the move to the highly competitive Big Apple.

With patience and effort, the work offers started to pour in for Heidi. She appeared in many print advertisements, including: Bonne Bell (which Denise Richards also modeled for), Finesse, Gerry Weber, Givenchy's Amarige, I-N-C, and she hit it big with the Victoria's Secret campaign.

In 1992 Heidi won the contest "Model 92" and after finishing school in June 1992 she desided to pursue a career as a model. Her first modeling jobs were in Hamburg, then in Paris and Milan. A year later Heidi Klum moved to Miami and then to New York, where she has lived since October 1993.

In 1996 she established the Heidi Klum GmbH and took part in developing logo. It became her trade-mark and she secure a copyright on her name also. In 1997 Heidi Klum walked the runway for the first time. It was the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which was one of the most press-heavy shows in the United States, and it catapulted her to more recognition from the public and to the next level as a top model. In summer she said yes to Ric Pipino and they were married till end of 2002. A year later, she became the first German cover girl of the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue". That means 55 millions of readers, and a big international breakthrough.

In 2001 he played her first small part in the comedy "BlowDry". Heidi played Jasmine, an eccentric hairdresser's model caught between rival brother hairstylists. In the autumn of 2003 she became pregnant with Flavio Briatore's child. On May 4, 2004, she gave birth to a daughter, Helene "Leni" Klum, named after Klum's grandmother. Around the same time of the birth, Heidi began a relationship with musician Seal. Klum and Seal married on May 10, 2005, on a beach in Mexico.

You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs. All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping.I'm lucky because I can maybe work one or two days a week and stagger my schedule.Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

During the summer I worked on it a lot, by myself and with my personal trainer Sinisa Markovic, and it was worth it. It's all in your mind, man, all of it.I want justice. And there is an old poster out West, I recall that says 'Wanted.. Dead or Alive.'Miracles happen every day. Not just in remote country villages or at holy sites halfway across the globe, but here, in our own lives.

All my life I've been dealing with my race because of where I grew up and being in the rap game. I'm at a boiling point.. Anybody who pulls the race card is getting it right back in their face.he pursuit of money is in some ways a very shallow thing and it won't bring happiness unless your mind is prepared to use that money in ways that expand it and satisfy it. So, to me an interest in science and literature and the arts, is all part of just being a full human being, and of course you've got to make some money as well, but our education system it seems to me, should be producing fully rounded human beings who can say, 'I've lead a really satisfying life. I've had all the tools I need to be able to lead a great life,' rather than just, 'I made some money.'

Supermodel Iman is Ottawa bound for TV show

2008-06-26T04:56:00.000-07:00

OTTAWA - International model Iman is coming to Ottawa this summer for the taping of the TV-reality series Project Runway Canada.

The 52-year-old supermodel and wife of David Bowie is expected here in early August for the 12 episodes of the Global-TV show that will be filmed here. No word on whether Bowie will accompany his wife to the nation's capital, although producers hope the British pop star makes an appearance.

"We have no confirmation on whether David Bowie is coming because we would all love to see him in Ottawa," said Andrea Gabourie, a supervising producer at Insight Production Company Ltd. in Toronto, which is making the reality series.

"They are certainly private people and they both have busy lives outside of the work that they do so at this point we don't anticipate it, but you never know."

The reality series, now in its second season, features 12 young fashion designers vying for the title of Canada's top fashion designer. It was seen last year on the Slice TV-network and was primarily filmed in Toronto but this year producers have chosen to move to Ottawa, except for the finale which goes back to Toronto.

Series mentor Brian Bailey is returning and so are a panel of industry experts, yet to be named. The competing fashion designers are expected to be announced in the next few weeks.

Ms. Gabourie said Iman worked well as host of the series last season and she was eager to return.

"We had a wonderful experience working with her and she's an absolute legend in the fashion industry. She's an incredible woman, smart, strong and professional. One of the most interesting things about her is that she has a wonderful sense of humour," she said.

Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, Iman went to high school in Egypt and afterwards lived in Kenya, where her parents still reside. She is fluent in five languages and she studied political science at the University of Nairobi. She was recruited as a model by American photographer in 1975 and moved to the United States, where she began her modeling career, landing some of the biggest magazine covers and establishing herself as a supermodel.

She married Mr. Bowie in 1992 and they have one daughter, Alexandra Zahra "Lexi" Jones. The couple live in New York City and London.

Iman will be in Ottawa at different periods in August although her schedule has not been finalized, said Ms. Gabourie.

Producers are shooting the episodes at an "undisclosed" location in the city to avoid onlookers wanting to observe the filming, said Ms. Gabourie.

"As much as we'd like to share the location with people we'll have to share it with them afterwards otherwise we'll have people hanging around the set trying to get in. It's a competition series so it's highly confidential."

Iran-born fashion model to move base from Dubai to Mumbai

2008-06-24T11:09:00.000-07:00

Iran-born fashion model Masha, who has modelled for top Indian designers like Rocky S. and Neeta Lulla, will be moving base from Dubai to Mumbai where she expects better opportunities. “I’ve never felt somewhere was home like I do in Mumbai,” the 25-year-old, who has been living in Dubai since she was nine, told The National newspaper.

“For my career, it is so much better than it is to be here in the Middle East,” she added.

According to Masha, who has worked for two years in fashion capitals of the world like London and Paris, the Indian market was much more exciting.

“I will be doing bigger campaigns and in India, career progression is much quicker and opportunities are more diverse,” she was quoted as saying.

“Instead of just doing one-off catwalk shows, you can do proper campaigns, billboards and TV, which are more international than regional, which it is here in Dubai.”

During the course of her career, she has modelled for some of the world’s top brands like Pepsi, Sony and Panasonic. Last year, she was the face of the United Arab Emirates’ leading telecom operator Etisalat.

Recently, during a three-month stay in Mumbai, she did photo-shoots for Louis Vuitton, Vogue India and Hermes.

Masha, who has a background in pharmaceuticals, feels that she can look Indian too because of her looks.

“I can look quite north Indian so they like me. When they want an Indian look, I work for them and if they want a more Iranian or Middle Eastern look, they use that too,” she said.
