Gemma Ward: I Have Said Nothing Will Be Permanent
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models, News, Rumors,
Never say, “Never” when it comes to the modeling world—even if your agent says so! Case in point: Gemma Ward.
Following an emergence of recent pictures of the model displaying a more average, fuller figure, Ward’s agent claimed that she was not expected to return to modeling “any time soon.”
Ward dispelled such talk via her seldom-used Twitter page: “Thankyou everyone for your support, all i’ll say on the subject is im content with my decision but i have said nothing will be permanent.(sic)”
The dabbling actress went so far as to e-mail an Australian newspaper to further confirm her upcoming return, yet hints that it’ll be sooner than later: “I have not ‘quit modeling’ and my fans back home can expect to see me back at work modeling and acting in the new year.”
So what’s she doing until then?

Heidi Klum Moves in Trainer to Shed Baby Weight
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
Supermodel Heidi Klum‘s personal trainer has moved in with her to help get her into shape.
The German supermodel is desperate to shed the weight she gained while pregnant with daughter Lou - her fourth child who was born last month - before a Victoria’s Secret catwalk show next week and has embarked on a grueling diet and exercise regime under the guidance of expert David Kirsch.
A source said, “Heidi’s swapped processed carbs, sugar, dairy and fruit for egg-white omelettes, spinach salads and grilled tuna with quinoa. She’s determined to wow everyone when she walks. She’s pushing herself through gruelling twice-daily workouts.”
Heidi has previously admitted she is struggling to lose her baby weight and finds it much tougher than she did after having her other children, Leni, five, Henri, four, and Johan, three: “I wouldn’t say I’m back in shape yet. Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one and now being 36 with the fourth one.”
She is now hitting the treadmill and eating sensibly in a bid to get back in shape as she fears she will remain bigger forever if she doesn’t act now: “I think that if you wait too long and it sticks there it stays that way forever. I have to be motivated.”
Rankin Hits Back at Lagerfeld
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,
Rankin thinks Karl Lagerfeld must have been drunk when he slated Heidi Klum.
Chanel designer Lagerfeld has been engaged in a war of words with the German model ever since he called her “too fat to model” and criticized her husband Seal’s appearance earlier this year, but fashion photographer Rankin has hit out at the designer, saying Heidi is on a par with Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer.
“I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. He’s a funny one, Karl Lagerfeld, he doesn’t say anything for years and then when he does it’s so off the mark. Maybe he’d had a couple of drinks.”
Rankin, who has photographed most of the world’s top models during his career, praised the model’s worth ethic and versatility: “Kate and Heidi never turn up late - maybe half an hour late - they’re never difficult, never unmanageable.
“Heidi has an amazing ability to be able to step between high fashion, high street fashion, catalogue and mainstream TV and it’s very unusual. I don’t think there’s anyone else in the world - Claudia Schiffer maybe - who can do the same.”

Madonna Stars in Dolce & Gabbana Campaign
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
The Queen of Pop has seemed to move on from Marc Jacobs and has now moved on to cozying up with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, starring in their upcoming Spring/Summer ‘10 ad campaign.
While the Dolce & Gabbana pair have worked with Madonna in the past for her stage costumes, she has never taken to glossy pages for them until now. It probably helps that her current boy toy, model Jesus Luz, starred in the previous ad campaign for their fall line (he probably wants to remain employed).
“To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” the designing duo said.
Shot last week in New York City by celebrated photographer Steven Klein, I’m fairly excited for the photos; however, I’m hoping that we’ll be able to recognize her face this time around (as opposed to her controversial Louis Vuitton ads that were highly edited).

Gemma Ward Walks Away From Modeling
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
While the news isn’t necessarily a shock due to her absence from the runways and ad campaigns, model Gemma Ward has officially announced via her agency that she is to quit modeling.
“Gemma hasn’t committed to returning to modeling at any time soon,” a spokeswoman said.
The announcement comes after photos of the model/actress having gained a few sizes appeared online, accumulating a mixed slew of supportive and awful comments from readers. Many speculate that her weight gain and departure are due to the death of Heath Ledger, whom she was romantically linked to shortly before that January day.
I find it sad that for Ward, a model who was constantly attacked early in her career for being too skinny, is now under fire for being too heavy! It’s not as if she’s doing any modeling work; even if she did, who cares if someone decides to hire a model of a more average dress size?
She ought to go back to acting, in my opinion. She creeped me out as Dollface in The Strangers and has garnered plenty of positive criticism for her role in The Black Balloon.

Vera Wang Crowns Zoe Kravitz
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Step aside, Camilla Belle—there’s a new princess in town.
With a campaign titled “Born to Rule,” it’s no wonder that Vera Wang chose the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet to star in the ads, promoting the designer’s Princess fragrance.
Sitting atop some lush-looking pillows with an exuberant butterfly crown, Zoe fits the part perfectly. If you want to smell like a princess, you can purchase the perfume at an any department store nationwide.

Victoria Beckham Takes on Modeling World
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,
After having finally been accepted into the fashion industry with her successful collection, Victoria Beckham is already moving on to grander ventures: the modeling world.
Rumor has it that the former Spice Girl is in talks with her manager Simon Fuller, who has half of the controlling stake in London-based Storm Models, to open up a modeling agency based in New York City (from London to L.A. to New York City, Victoria seems to have homes all over the globe!).
“Simon knows that Victoria is very savvy when it comes to fashion. Simon’s first foray into fashion was to team up Roland Mouret and Victoria, which was a huge success. Victoria is a key asset to Simon and he wants her to take on a major role,” an insider said.
Thus, Victoria’s path to world domination slowly begins.

Fresh-faced Georgia Jagger is proud of her gapped-tooth smile.
The 17-year-old model, daughter of Rolling Stones legend Sir Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall, doesn’t want to undergo dental procedures to have her teeth corrected as she thinks it gives her a unique look.
“I think my gap adds character. A while ago on the street, a guy yelled, ‘You could stick a gold through your front teeth.’ Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them. But you can’t, I’ve tried. 50 pence coins and two pence coins, yes. But not a pound.”
Georgia also revealed her famous father used to tell her off for wearing wearing make-up before she became a teenager. The blonde star, who is the face of Hudson Jeans and Rimmel London, said, ” We have a snap of my dad wearing blue eye shadow. which I would always make fun of. When I was about 12 and first started wearing lipstick, my dad would ask ‘Are you wearing make-up?’ I would say back, ‘You’re wearing more make-up there than I am!’”
