The ANTM plot thickens...

So after the crazy shananigans that occurred a few weeks ago at the New York City auditions for the next cycle of America's Next Top Model, the lovely Ms. Tyra Banks is making some changes to the audition process. Now, girls will be assigned audition times and will be asked to leave and return later when it is time for them to go inside.



They're hoping this will prevent so many people from being at the tryouts at the same time. Other changes:
*no waiting overnight
*the earliest one can arrive is 6 AM
*no entourages or posses, unless the person auditioning is under 18

The CW said, "Be courteous to others around you."

Also, stay classy and fab,

Models: they may not eat, but they can cook!

At least that's what we're supposed to think. International supermodel Kate Moss is planning on writing a cookbook. 

She's so skinny, she might not eat. But apparently she cooks? So now she's going to teach us how. 

One of her close friend's step-daughter is Stasha Palos, who is coming out with a cookbook of Jewish recipes later this year. Palos is going to help Moss, who has been trying out traditional kosher meals, to write her own book. No news on when the book will appear, but who knows? Maybe this new cooking thing will inspire Moss to do a  line of aprons and kitchenwear!

Stay classy and fab,

Serena Williams: From courts to rings

No, not boxing rings. That would be really interesting. But the rings I'm referring to here are part of the accessories and clothing line called Signature Statement. That's right. Another celebrity is endorsing a company and lending their creativity to a fashion line.

Williams will be working on this line with the Home Shopping Network (HSN). Prices range from $29.95 to $100, and the line includes handbags, knits, and jewelry.

But Williams isn't the first celeb to have a deal like this with HSN. She's following in the footsteps of Iman and Paula Abdul, and they're hoping to keep the line up and running for at least a few years.

More than just a great pair of leggings

Well Lindsay Lohan is expanding her "empire." The young actress, lately known more for her relationship with Samantha Ronson and stays at rehab, had already started her own line of leggings back in September. But now the legging line, 6126, will be joined by a self-tanner called Mist Sevin Nyne, which she is also putting together. (Apparently, Lohan loves making her lines number-based?)

Regardless, Mist Sevin Nyne is a partnership between Lohan and Lorit Simon, a tanning expert who has tanned Lohan and other celebrities for years.

With the help of Lorit, this mist might actually have a chance at success. Lohan may not be the most successful actress, but who can deny the tan she has? And if people want a glow like Lindsay's, I'm sure they'd buy into her mist...more than, say, her leggings.

Time for a new do

We tend to think that celebrities change their style constantly. They have a lot of money, a lot of stylists, and a lot of clothes. They have free reign to do, wear, and look however they want. But if you think about it...I mean, REALLY think about it, they generally don't change that much. The most drastic thing they do is lose weight, get some Botox, or chop their hair real short.

Well this week, not one, but TWO big-time celebrities got new do's.

Exhibit A: Mary-Kate Olsen with bright blonde (no longer brunette), curly locks at the Metropolitan Opera's 125th Anniversary Gala.


Exhibit B: Fergie with long, straight, chocolate hair. A COMPLETE 180 from the good old, unmarried Fergie we used to know and love.
That's all for now.
Stay classy and fab!

I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world...

Happy birthday, Barbie!

Barbie is the same age as Madonna! What divas were born in 1959. That's right. Barbie's now 50 years old, and to honor that, several designers have designed specific Barbie-inspired clothes for New York's fashion week.Designers include Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and Catherine Malandrino.

Stay classy and fab (like Barbie),

Married models!

So, the past few weeks have been a time for men all over the world to be sad because two extraordinarily beautiful women are now officially off the market. That's right, boys.

Victoria's Secret supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima both tied the knot, with NFL star, Tom Brady and NBA star, Marko Jaric respectively.


Adriana Lima saved her big wedding for the summer, opting for a small one on Valentine's Day in Jackson City, Wyoming. Meanwhile, Gisele DID IT UP RIGHT. Wearing everything Dolce & Gabbana, she and Brady married at dusk in Santa Monica, California. Well of course she wore Dolce. She already models for them and has developed her own scent with them, called "The One." (See TV ad below.)



So which model is next? My guess is Miranda Kerr to Orlando Bloom. The rumors are starting, so we'll see how that goes!

In the meantime,
stay classy and fab!
