Items Du Jour: Taylor Swift, Martin Scorsese, and L’Oreal Hires Diane Kruger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
- L’Oreal hires model-turned-actress Diane Kruger as their worldwide spokesperson (not that it was a surprise so much as it was a matter of which makeup company was going to demand a deal with her).
- Kelly Osbourne’s fiancé Luke Worrell experiments with androgyny. He looks just as gorgeous as a woman, too! How unfair is that?
- Taylor Swift rocks some major Prada Swarovski in a high fashion shoot for T: The New York Times Style Magazine; it’s nice to see her break out of her natural style and put those model looks of hers to good use.
- Epic collaborations keep coming! While Dior may be nabbing David Lynch, Karl Lagerfeld is never one to be outdone, recruiting Martin Scorsese to direct a Chanel
short film. What we’re all really wondering is whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio will be making an appearance…
- Lady Gaga, much like her appearance on Jay Leno’s show, toned down her outfit for Barbara Walters. Citing her inspiration as her mother’s classic Chanel suit, Gaga left her body art installations, masks, and heavy makeup at home. Lately, the once pantsless revolution leader has been embracing what she seemed to detest—is this a new age for the singer?

Anja Rubik Credits Catwalk Help to Yoga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Polish model Anja Rubik says yoga helps her to walk in high heels.
The 26-year-old beauty - who has taken to the catwalk for Stella McCartney, Viktor + Rolf and Jean Paul Gaultier in the past - credits the stretching exercise with helping her maintain balance.
“I’ve been practicing yoga for three years. My job involves a lot of sitting on airplanes and a lot of walking in high heels! I find yoga helps with both. It can also do amazing things physically; it keeps me fit and helps my balance and focus.”

Kimberley Walsh Calls Herself Wrinkly at 28
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Singer Kimberley Walsh thinks she looks too old to front a beauty campaign.
The 28-year-old Girls Aloud member - who is currently the face of British high street fashion chain New Look - claims she is already showing too many signs of ageing to be the perfect poster girl for anything that relied on her face.
“I’m always being told I should do a lipstick ad because of my huge mouth. But I think my skin might be too old for a beauty campaign. I’m 28 now. The wrinkles are starting to show!”
The singer also admitted she struggles to maintain a healthy diet regime, despite putting on weight more easily than her bandmates:
“I’m like any other normal girl, I have ups and downs; I can focus and be healthy for a few weeks and then I’ll have a bad week. If I ate what the rest of the girls ate I’d be three times the size, but at the same time, I’m not vain enough to starve myself. I’d much rather be content in my life and a normal size. I’m a 10 on top and a 12 below. I think it’s quite good for young girls that in the band we’ve all got different figures.”
Items Du Jour: Meiselpic, David Lynch, Marc and Lorenzo Buy a House
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Site Announcements,
- Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone finally purchased a townhouse in New York’s West Village for a cool $10.4 million. To think that this was the house that the couple claimed they counting their pennies for!
- A new type of plastic surgery involves liposuctioning fat from your butt and injecting it into your breasts to increase their size. Here I thought Fight Club‘s idea of re-using fat for soap was bad.
- Twitter inspires fashion photographer Steven Meisel, prompting him to get a pregnant Gisele Bundchen (as well as Lara Stone, Sessilee Lopez, Naomi Campbell, and others) taking pictures of herself via Meiselpic—clever, right?—for the December cover of Vogue Italia.
- In interesting collaboration news, John Galliano recruits David Lynch (Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead) to direct his next installment of Dior short films. Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard will star in the short features.
- Proenza Schouler finally has an e-commerce site, although it appears as if they’re still figuring out what to put on there—so far, there are four items listed.

Amber Le Bon Invests in Photography
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Amber Le Bon wants to become a fashion photographer.
The model - the daughter of supermodel Yasmin and Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon - understands she won’t be able to make money from her looks forever and will embark on a career behind the camera when she grows older.
“I know modeling is not a lifelong career, and because I so love taking pictures of people I think my future is going to be as a photographer.”
The 20-year-old beauty - who has previously modeled for Moschino and British store River Island - hasn’t started working on her camera skills yet but is certain she has already picked up some vital tips through her work in the fashion industry: “I am learning a lot about the work on the other side of the camera. I am constantly getting practical experience, although I haven’t studied it technically.”
Earlier this year, it was revealed Amber’s British Iranian model mother Yasmin would launch her own fashion line. The 45-year-old beauty will be teaming with British store Wallis to launch her first clothing and jewelery collection YLB.
Cuticle Picker Natalie Portman
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Natalie Portman is obsessed with picking her cuticles!
Despite the fact that her cuticles look fine to me, the Brothers actress is trying desperately to kick her bad habit and has resorted to carrying skin-smoothing products around with her to help calm the urge to attack her fingernails.
“I’ve been getting better, but not really. I try to put moisturizer in my bag at all times so when I have the impulse, I put moisturizer on.”
Marie Helvin Still Searching for Perfect Shirt
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women, Tops,
Marie Helvin still can’t find the perfect white shirt.
The 57-year-old model - who was a regular on the catwalk and in fashion magazines during the 70s and 80s - has never been able to find a style of shirt which fits her properly despite owning a huge collection of designer clothes.
“I am constantly searching for the perfect white shirt. At my age, I can’t wear all these short, tight things anymore. I’d look ridiculous. I like a plain white shirt, a black A-line skirt and some nice shoes. And that’s it.”
Marie - who has worked for designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Valentino - is due to auction off her old wardrobe with upmarket vintage clothing experts Kerry Taylor in London next week. The collection will go under the hammer at the same time as the late screen icon Audrey Hepburn’s clothes.
However, Marie is not sad to see her outfits go up for sale: “I can’t even get a finger into them now!”
Marie - who was previously married to famed photographer David Bailey - previously said she wanted to get rid of her old designer gowns because she didn’t think it was appropriate for her to wear them anymore. “Kate Moss will probably snap them up for Topshop. Hah! But you know, I don’t think it’s appropriate to dress too sexily at my age. Anyway, I can’t get into them any more,” she said.
Yoga Fan Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston says that yoga changed her life.
The former Friends star appears in the introduction to Yogalosophy, a new workout DVD fronted by her friend and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber, and says she was amazed at the impact learning the discipline had on her.
In the short clip, she says, “She brought yoga into my life. It completely changed my life. It’s one of the most fun workouts I’ve ever had. So have fun and work hard because it will totally pay off.”
It was recently claimed that Jennifer, 40, flew Mandy from Los Angeles to New York to help her get in shape when playing a younger woman in The Bounty.
A source said, “Jennifer has had a totally overhaul for this film. She wants to be seriously fit, yet remain curvy. There are a lot of early starts on set, so she has had to get up at 3am to get two hours in the gym before filming at 5am. She is supposed to be playing a 35-year-old, and is concerned she won’t look the part now she is 40. It hasn’t been easy, but she has combined one-on-one yoga sessions with grueling weight and workout sessions. Her new body is the talk of the set and she is reveling in the attention. Everyone agrees that Jennifer is looking sensational at the moment. Her curves have definitely been noticed - she is glowing.”
Helena Christensen Still Thinks of Grandma
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
Helena Christensen was worried that her grandmother would die of shock when she posed nude.
The supermodel, who turns 41 on Christmas Day, stripped off for a racy photo shoot for Elle magazine but says she only agreed to it because she know the shots would be subtle.
“I have no problems with showing my body. I just wanted the nudity to be in that normal, subtle way because my grandmother is still alive and I want to keep her for another 15 years. I don’t want her to get a shock.”
Helena also says she would like to follow in the footsteps of fellow supermodel Kate Moss and launch her own clothing range: “Obviously, Kate has an exclusive style, so it’s a huge value she can pick the things she picks. I would be super-happy to have a big company behind me like that, who will trust your style and base whole collections on it. That’s the ultimate.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Patrick Dempsey‘s new fragrance is about his marriage.
The Grey’s Anatomy actor - who has recently launched Patrick Dempsey 2, with beauty retailer Avon - designed the scent to represent the “power” of his ten-year union to Avon’s Creative Color Director, Jillian Dempsey.
“The first fragrance, Unscripted, was about the individual, following your passion and all of that. Why not take it to the next step and go, ‘this is about two people and the power of the relationship.’”
