Naomi Campbell broke down in tears while talking about her anger management issues.
The supermodel got emotional while filming her appearance on UK TV's The Jonathan Ross Show when she talked about how anger management classes saved her life. The 43-year-old star - who has previously been arrested for throwing mobile phones at her staff - said, "I made anger management serious. Anger is an emotion. There were things I had to deal with. You have to deal with it." As she teared up, she added, "I'm crying, you made me cry!"
But host Jonathan replied, "Oh f**k off, no I didn't!"
Naomi also opened up about her previous drug use - which included being addicted to cocaine for five years - saying she realized she had to quit because it was ruining her life. "I don't want to go back. No matter what it is that you're addicted to - you can be addicted to work - all it is, is an escapism. It's escaping something, no matter what. For me, I came to my realization at 29 that I didn't like myself the way I was, and that was it. Every day is a new day - I'm no perfect human being. I'm just living and I'm just breathing," she added.

Cara Delevingne is reportedly preparing to move from fashion to music. The 20-year-old model is said to already be working on her debut album as she looks to launch a pop career, something she's always been passionate about.
"Cara loves singing. When she was younger she would sit at home and mess about but recently she's started to take it seriously. She loves music, she loves festivals and she loves singing. Now she wants to add it to her CV and actually get herself a pop career," a source revealed, speaking to the Sunday People newspaper.
It might all start sooner than expected too, and fans can reportedly expect to get some news on her music career in 2014. Her modeling career is still taking up the majority of Cara's time, while it is said she also has some acting roles "lined up." The insider added, "She is a very busy girl at the moment, with a couple of movies lined up as well as her modeling. Now it looks like things will be kicking off for her musically next year."
Kate Upton was told she was "too American" to be a model.
The curvy beauty - who is now one of the most recognizable pin-ups in the world - was outraged when she was initially rejected from a major agency who assumed she would be too ''lazy'' because of her nationality.
"I'm not going to name names, but one agency told me, 'You're too American, and everybody knows American women are lazy.' I was so offended! I've never been so offended! I was like, 'You know that you're in America, right?' And it wasn't 'American models - it was 'American women are lazy,' period! I feel like a lot of women would disagree with that. A lot!" she revealed.
Kate, 21, headed straight to International Management Group - which is home to supermodels Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen and Karlie Kloss - after the shocking rejection, and was signed on the spot.

Eva Herzigova admits she was "unbearable" to work with at the height of her fame as a supermodel.
The 40-year-old Czech beauty has confessed she was "irritable" and would throw tantrums on shoots as well as display other unpleasant behavior when she was known across the world for her famous "Hello Boys" Wonderbra campaign in the mid-90s.
But Eva insists the only reason she acted like a diva was because she was overworked: "I was unbearable at one point and probably difficult to work with, but it was to do with exhaustion, trying to do too much. Going constantly from one plane to the next, from a fashion show to a photo shoot in a different time zone didn't help matters. I was irritable and had tantrums."
Eva admits to ''losing'' a sense of herself at that time, but maintains she avoided many of the pitfalls of fame and the fashion industry such as drugs. "Losing myself, yes; going off the rails and taking drugs, no. My education has given me a strong will to resist temptations like drugs. They make you feel like the person that you want to be. But it's just an illusion. I used to see people get off their faces, and I was never interested," she explained.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, Videos,
No one does the mysterious and brooding type better than Robert Pattinson, which is likely why the folks over at Dior casted him as the mysterious, brooding love interest opposite model Camille Rowe.
Released earlier today, the black-and-white (save for the end - ooh that's artsy!) clip sees Pattinson and Rowe as a fashionable-but-rebellious couple smoking cigarettes and causing a ruckus at a fancy dinner hall. Because, naturally, when you wear Dior Homme, you're compelled to act like you're in a French New Wave film.

UK Retailer Pledges to Avoid Major Ad Retouching
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Sales,
U.K. retailer Debenhams made a bold move in the fight against the over-airbrushing of women in advertisements this week. The company has announced it will ban major retouching of lingerie models in the future, hopefully setting a precedent for American counterparts like Macy's.
"We want to help customers feel confident about their figures without bombarding them with unattainable body images... As well as being a positive from a moral point of view, it ticks the economic boxes as well. Millions of pounds a year are spent by organizations retouching perfectly good images," said the company's head lingerie buyer, Sharon Webb.

Kate Moss is reportedly detoxing in Turkey.
The supermodel - often pictured smoking or enjoying a glass of champagne - has reportedly been surviving on juice, fresh herbs, and daily enemas as part of her health kick. The 39-year-old is reportedly on a week long program in the city of Bodrum which also includes pilates, yoga and stretching sessions.
The LifeCo detox program costs $5,400 and has also been helping Kate to lose weight, with her reportedly shedding more then two kilos.
"Kate has detoxed here before and lost three-a-half kilos [about 8 pounds] - she absolutely loved it. She really enjoys being healthy, eating clean and not drinking, and while the gym is not her natural calling, she does enjoy the odd spot of yoga. Kate feels mentally and physically cleansed, and reckons her skin and eyes look much brighter and clearer already," a source said.
