Taylor Swift Won’t Ever Pose Naked

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities,

Taylor Swift will never pose naked for a photo shoot.

The "22" singer has no intention of stripping off for a magazine or in her videos like many of her pop rivals, such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, because she doesn't think it's necessary for her to "push the envelope" by revealing her body.

"I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have. For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off," she told Glamour.

The 23-year-old musician also revealed she likes to have the upper hand when it comes to dating and will often "freeze-out" guys from her life who she believes are playing with her emotions: "[What's freeze-out?] You don't respond to any of his texts or calls until he does something desperate [like] shows up. Or he calls and leaves a voicemail. Something that makes it very clear to you that he's interested."

Lara Stone’s Friends Laugh at Marriage

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models,

Lara Stone's friends laugh at her for being married.

The 28-year-old supermodel - who tied the knot with 41-year-old comic David Walliams in May 2010 after eight months of dating - admits her former hard-partying ways meant many of her pals never expected she would settle down.

"My friends still make fun of me for being wed. They find it so hard to believe. Even four years back they wouldn't have expected it. It was quite unexpected, but it has made me happy. I feel secure. It's really calming somehow. We both have such random jobs, it is not mundane. He doesn't go to the office while I cook him dinner, so I don't feel like I have to be too grown up about the whole thing," she said.

Although she and David are very happy together, Lara isn't ready to have children just yet - because she and her spouse are so smitten with their dog Bert, who the Little Britain star gave to his wife in February.

Quote of the Day: Marc Jacobs Compares Himself to a Pig

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows,

“I used to say in the beginning that I was like the pig in Babe when the farmer, who was not wildly emotional, expressed himself in a super-warm way. Mr Arnault does not express himself in a super-warm way, but he has softened up - I am that pig and he pats me on the back and says ‘That’ll do pig,’ and I just feel this is the highest praise. This is a man who does not throw out compliments or say things to please people - he just does not.”

- Fashion designer and creative director of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, on his relationship with LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault.

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone Break-up Rumors Resurface

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,

Say it isn’t so! Just as initial whispers of a break-up between Marc Jacobs and former model Lorenzo Martone ceased, the big-time fashion designer sparked the rumor mill once again when he didn’t mention his fiance in his acceptance speech at the CFDA awards.

The couple were seen together last week at the amfAR gala looking like their usual, adorable selves (holding hands and everything!); however, insiders say that Lorenzo was caught smooching another lady’s man at Sean Patterson’s birthday party that night!

Was the cheating kiss the reasoning behind Martone’s absence from the CFDA awards and Marc’s speech? Marc couldn’t be reached to comment and Lorenzo declined to comment when presented with the news.

The couple have been engaged since March 2009, after having dated previously for a year.

Diane Kruger Thinks of Lagerfeld as a Stepfather

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,

Diane Kruger thinks of Karl Lagerfeld as her “stepfather.”

The stunning actress has a very close relationship with the Chanel designer and says she loves working with him.

“He is like a stepfather to me. We’re very close - we just get on so well. He is a very curious person, he’s very interested in people in general. I’ve known him since I was 16-years-old, ever since I first started to model and he has always been so kind. We go way back. People have said I am his muse but I don’t think I’d call myself that. It’s not how I think of our relationship. That’s big. It’s hard to describe Karl, he really is one of a kind.”

The 33-year-old beauty loves Karl’s designs for Chanel because they are so classic: “What’s not to love about Chanel? It’s timeless, it’s chic. I don’t know many people that don’t like it. I love it.”

While she is a devoted Chanel fan, Diane is also an admirer of Calvin Klein and was recently announced as the new face of the fashion house’s latest fragrance, Beauty.

Rumors Swirl Around Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Break Up

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Rumors,

Marc Jacobs has reportedly split from Lorenzo Martone.

The designer married the Brazilian PR executive on New Year’s Eve on the island of St. Barts in the West Indies, but the couple have decided to separate less than four months later. One friend told the New York Post, “They’ve both been telling people that they broke up.”

Although Lorenzo has denied claims he has moved out of the Manhattan apartment they share, he didn’t accompany his beau to the wedding of Marc’s business partner Robert Duffy last week. A spokesperson for Marc said, “We don’t comment on Marc’s personal life.”

Although the couple wed in St Barts, they had yet to sign any official wedding documents, meaning the marriage wasn’t legal. Lorenzo said, “In the end, we just had an intimate ceremony at a friend’s house with people who were already on the island. Although the official wedding papers won’t be signed till later this year, so legally we’re not married yet.”

Representatives for Marc and Lorenzo had previously denied the couple married, even though there was a wedding cake at their New Year “party.” In January a representative said, “Someone had a party for them, but there was no wedding. They are still engaged.”
