Eva Mendes - www.whudat.co
The Calvin Klein sexy new fragrance ads featuring Eva Mendes have caused quite a stir, as the actress appears completely naked in them. Mendes, however, is unfazed by all the controversy the ads have been generating, and is wanting to do more of the same thing.
Mendes said, “I knew that in good old Calvin Klein fashion there’d be a little controversy, but I’m actually a little surprised at how far the attention has gone. I’ve never been banned before. It’s very rock ’n’ roll; I kind of like it. I want to do more. I want to keep pushing the envelope”.
Irina Lazareanu - www.enjoyfashion.com
Irina Lazareanu is one of the most sought-after models today, but many people who were at the tents during New York Fashion Week were wondering why she's spotted all over Bryant Park but the catwalk.
Irina, it seems, just wants to take a break.
“After six seasons I wanted to take off some time,” explained the model at the Phillip Lim show Wednesday afternoon. “I always put all my eggs in one basket…and for the last three years I’ve had no break. Phillip is a dear friend of mine, so I had to come see his show”.
Britney Spears - www.people.com
It has been confirmed that rumors that Britney Spears will be appearing on the cover of American Vogue any time soon are just that: rumors.
It was gossip columnist Liz Smith who started the rumors when she reported that famed Vogue photographer Patrick Demarchelier had been flown in from London for a photo shoot with the singer. However, a source has told E! Online, that shoot must be for another magazine, and claimed that Anna Wintour, American Vogue editor in chief, "will never put her on the cover again". Why, may we ask? "She's just not a Vogue kind of girl," the source added.

Giles Deacon - www.nitrolicious.com
For the first time ever, Giles Deacon is creating a menswear line, and the lucky label to benefit from the designer's initial venture for the boys is high street retailer New Look.
"New Look are delighted to be partners in this venture with Giles, which not only sees the launch of his first menswear collection with us, but also his first menswear collection full stop," says Steve Lawton, New Look's menswear director. "This collection will sit perfectly with the rest of the New Look menswear offer in a category that continues to grow at a pace."
Naomi Campbell - sayswholive.com
Naomi Campbell has begun the 200-hour community service she was meted for assaulting cops in a Heathrow Airport lost luggage row in April.
This time, however, she wouldn't be doing manual labor like she did in New York the first time around. She was made to help with the paperwork in the back office of the Whitechapel Mission drop-in centre in London's East End, which provides food and shelter for the homeless.
V Magazine Fall Issue - www.catwalkqueen.tv
V Magazine is known for publishing multiple model covers with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and they're giving the collaboration another shot at it for the magazine's fall issue, featuring 14 different models.
“Supermodels are our celebrities, so we’ve given the covers to a whole range of models,” said editor in chief and creative director Stephen Gan, who is also creative director of Harper’s Bazaar.
Each cover features a head shot of a famous model, who are either relative newbies in the fashion industry or those belonging to the supermodel era.
Alice Dellal - fashionista.com
Looks like up and coming model Alice Dellal is following in Kate Moss' footsteps in more ways than one.
Dellal, who has just taken over from Kate Moss as the new face of luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, has been photographed with a substance that suspiciously looks like cocaine.
The pictures obtained by UK tabloid The Sun, show Dellal lying on a mat, with a large line of white powder on the back of a dvd cover beside her. Another shows her in a south London nightclub in March, leaning over what appears to be a wrap of drugs.
Fashion magazine Marie Claire has jumped on the reality TV bandwagon with its plan to launch its own reality show next year.
To be called Running in Heels, the show, which will debut on the Style network in March, will give an inside look into the personal and professional lives of its editors, that it will "show life at Marie Claire through different sets of eyes, from senior level staffers to interns", according to the magazine. "Cameras will capture the 24/7 demands of their roles at the magazine and, through private video confessionals, viewers will learn how the interns cope with their jobs, their superiors and each other".
Plans by the organizers of New York Fashion Week to move their schedule next season could put London Fashion Week in jeopardy.
Traditionally, New York fashion week is held the week before LFW, with one day between each to give people time to cross the Atlantic. But with the organizers' plan to move their February shows forward by almost a week, London would only have four days instead of six to squeeze all the runway presentations.
The Americans are justifying the move by reportedly claiming they need an extra week to finish their collections due to time constraints brought about by the fabric mills in Italy and public holidays.
Jennifer Lopez - www.cognacscorner.tv
Jennifer Lopez will reportedly be suiting up as a judge for the finale of Project Runway's fifth season.
Although the show's execs have yet to confirm her appearance, this development was hinted at by show judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, who was all praises for the singer-actress' taste in fashion.
