Kate Winslet Can’t Refuse a Nude Mario Testino Shoot
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Health & Beauty,
Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet couldn't refuse posing naked for "magician" Mario Testino. Winslet paid tribute to the legendary fashion photographer's ability to present women in the nude for shoots, and his ability to make them feel at ease with their bodies.
"You know that his biggest strength without fail is making women look beautiful. When Mario turns to you and says, 'It's beautiful, but I think it would work better naked, no?' How can one refuse? No matter what insecurities about oneself a subject may have, Mario makes them go away like a magician. One moment you are in the hair and makeup chair fully clothed and wishing you had smoother skin, longer legs and smaller feet and then Mario comes in and in that charming way he takes you by the hand and says, 'Don't worry it's going to be amazing,'" Kate said, presenting the photographer with a Lifetime Achievement award at the El Museo del Barrio gala in New York last week.

Miranda Kerr Was Nervous Returning to the Runway
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Supermodels are human, after all: Victoria's Seret model Miranda Kerr "felt a little nervous" about returning to the catwalk.
Kerr admitted she had insecurities about going back to the runway after giving birth to her and husband Orlando Bloom's son, Flynn, four months ago, but overcame her initial fears to star in a Paris fashion show.
"I felt a little nervous. I hadn't been in high heels for a while. It was probably a good five months since I'd worn heels, but it was kind of like riding a bicycle."
Miranda's body has naturally changed slightly since giving birth, but she is pleased with her shapelier look: "My hips are wider, and my boobs are obviously bigger. I feel like I've become more of a woman now, and I'm really embracing those curves."

Soccer star David Beckham was inspired to create his own bodywear line after fronting Emporio Armani's underwear line for four years.
Beckham is launching the new collection along with another men's fragrance, Homme by David Beckham, later this year and while David admitted working for the legendary Italian label inspired him, he is worried his mother may not be too impressed with the advertising campaign:

Amanda Seyfried Was Insecure as a Child
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models,
Red Riding Hood actress Amanda Seyfried says she was a "weird-looking" child.
Seyfried is often voted one of the world's most beautiful women, but she insists that she hasn't always been confident with her looks, even though she was a child model.
"I was a child model but I wasn't doing much of it. I just don't consider myself a 'model' because I wasn't. I was such a weird-looking child. I had braces and I was kind of chubby."
Amanda has previously revealed how she hated looking in the mirror when she was growing up because she felt so ugly:

Crystal Renn Lands Her First Vogue Cover
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models,
The year 2011 has thus far been a promising one for Crystal Renn, who landed her first Vogue cover for Vogue Mexico's April issue.
Photographed by David Roemer and styled by Sarah Gore-Reeves, Renn brings out the fun, excitement of fashion with her poses and lights up the magazine's pages while also welcoming spring with bold, bright lips, eyeshadow, nails, and clothes.
Admittedly, the coveted Vogue cover gig was long overdue for Renn, who has previously starred in several Vogue editorials, including a food-centric one shot by Terry Richardson under the former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld.
Turned away from a Vogue Italia cover for not being able to fit into the dress the magazine desired, Renn now has been vindicated with a cover that has received an overwhelming amount of praise, prompting many to believe she may appear on the American edition soon.
Check out the rest of the story after the jump for more photos and a behind-the-scenes video!

Items Du Jour: Katy Perry Covers Elle, Lea Michelle Covers Cosmo
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
-- Mother of Johnny Depp's kids and muse to Karl Lagerfeld, Vanessa Paradis, makes eye patches sexy by sporting a black rose one on the cover of i-D Magazine. Is this her hint at wanting a role in Pirates of the Caribbean?
-- Katy Perry tones down her costume look for Elle magazine, where she instead sports a colorful Gucci suit. Looking a bit like Emily Blunt on the cover, Perry's business attire works well for her.
-- Of course, Perry can't always keep to tame pants suits. The 26 year-old appeared at the Mexico City launch of her new fragrance -- Purr by Katy Perry -- in a purple dress that left little to the imagination.
-- Continuing on her unspoken path to rid the cosmetic world of chemicals, supermodel Gisele Bundchen has just proclaimed her detestment of sunscreen, calling it poison. Of course, those who are fighting tirelessly for the prevention of skin cancer are outraged.
-- Speaking of outrage, Glee actress Lea Michele landed the cover of Cosmopolitan wearing a v-cut top that -- gasp -- almost reveals her navel! Naturally, Glee parents who have no concept of the difference between television characters and the people who portray them, are upset.

Quote of the Day: Daisy Lowe on Karl Lagerfeld, Curves
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
"My dream is to see a lot more female shapes in ad campaigns when I look through magazines...my friend was working with Crystal Renn and said she thinks she's only got a 38-inch hip. Karl Lagerfeld said he was going to embrace her womanly shape and then he just put her face on the ad campaign. Girls are starting to have tits in pictures, but I think it still needs to be about the curve... Real women have hips and an arse, yet loads of models in shows seem to have neither."
-- Size 4 model Daisy Lowe on wanting to see more womanly curves on the runway.

Kate Moss, Lea T Round Off Last Love Covers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Riccardo Tisci's former assistant-turned-model Lea T snagged a second of five alternate covers of Love's Androgynous Issue -- the first of which she is photographed kissing Kate Moss -- only this time, she poses solo.
Photographed by Mert and Marcus, Lea's strong -- yet beautiful -- features arrest the viewer, as she stands centered in a vulnerable position. Powerful, no doubt, I wonder if the obnoxious words "This is Hardcore" really needed plastering in the middle of the image.
While many doubted the 28 year-old's place in Tisci's Givenchy ads -- pointing to her transgender story that stole fashion headlines and a revealing Vogue Paris editorial -- I think that this Love cover cements her place in the industry.
Kate's cover, on the other hand, is not so flattering (seen after the jump). While the supermodel's freckles are a plus, the styling efforts failed at making her pass as a guy. Also, someone on the editing team didn't know what to do with the contours and shadows of her chest.

Lady Gaga Perfume to Smell Like Blood, Semen
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Rumors,
Will it never end? It's bad enough that every celebrity -- from A-list to D-list, fresh-faced to washed-up -- has their own fragrance, but Lady Gaga has taken it to a new, bizarre level. Unlike previous scents of rose petals and women's independence, the pop star reportedly wants her perfume to smell like blood and semen.
Just another outlandish rumor Lady Gaga planted to have the internet talking about her latest entrepreneurial venture? Maybe, but I wouldn't put it past the eccentric singer to celebrate her sexuality and morbidity through a scent. She did, after all, wear a dress made out of rotting flesh.
Are her die-hard little Monsters going to actually wear the blood-and-semen smell, or will they just prop the bottle up in their shrines? Would you wear it?
Perhaps the best test of all would be whether or not Angelina Jolie -- who once wore a vial of ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood around her neck -- would wear the smell.
