Naomi Campbell: I’ve Got Nothing Against Victoria Beckham
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Naomi Campbell insists she never tried to "pin-point" Victoria Beckham as racist.
The 43-year-old supermodel launched a campaign to expose racial discrimination in the fashion industry last month and published an open letter with a list of fashion houses "accused of being guilty," with the former Spice Girls star one of those criticized for using just one non-white model in her London Fashion Week Show. However, Naomi insists she meant nothing personal against Victoria and even called her directly to discuss the problem in the industry as a whole.
"I called Victoria and I spoke to her. I don't want to pin-point anyone. It isn't a blame game. Everyone's name was on that letter because they'd done it. It could have been completely unintentional. She is one of the designers on there like anyone else."
The document - which was addressed to the governing bodies of the fashion industries in New York, London, Paris and Milan - also criticized various, labels including Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Chanel, Armani, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Marc by Marc Jacobs, for not using models of color but Naomi insists she wasn't worried about upsetting her friends in the industry.

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.

Eva Herzigova: I Was Unbearable to Work With
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models,
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.

The Project Runway host and her bodyguard lover were dining at New York City eatery The Spotted Pig with a friend when things turned sour and Heidi is said to have abruptly left the restaurant. "They had been drinking with a male friend at a table, and things became heated very quickly," a source said.
The 40-year-old supermodel - who has four children, Leni, eight, Henry, seven, Johan, six, and Lou, three, with ex-husband Seal - attempted to hail a taxi, but when she couldn't get a ride home, returned to the restaurant but "refused" to rejoin Martin and the couple's pal.
Heidi "stood in the doorway looking upset," prompting her burly South African boyfriend to go outside and speak to her. However, after another heated exchange, Martin left the restaurant and Heidi returned to the table to dine with her friend.

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.

+ Considering she has both the face and body for high fashion, it's no wonder that actress Rooney Mara has signed with Dior to lend her face to their Down Town fragrance campaign. Naturally, her face is so gorgeously distracting that it's barely apparent that the photo is an ad for a perfume.

+ Despite her doctor's orders to avoid tight-fitting shoes, a very pregnant Kim Kardashian was spotted desperately trying to squeeze into her Givenchy heels.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Pregnancies,
Jenna Dewan-Tatum has jumped to the defense of Kim Kardashian. The 32-year-old American Horror Story actress - who is set to give birth to her first child with her Magic Mike star husband Channing Tatum in London this summer - tweeted a special message in support of pregnant women just days after supermodel Helena Christensen lashed out people for criticizing Kim's weight gain and maternity style.
Writing on her Twitter page on Monday, Jenna urged her followers to be more compassionate to women like Kim, saying, "Let's all be kind to every woman out there who is expecting. It shouldn't be about how much weight someone has gained, their fashion etc . . . it's a beautiful amazing moment in time and not about vanity."
