Gossip Girl Star Lands Modeling Deal

For someone who plays a character who is completely immersed in the world of fashion, it was only a matter of time before Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen would bag a modeling deal for herself.
Of course, it was also no surprise that the 14 year old signed with one of the most lucrative agencies, IMG Models, who employs A-list celebrities including Drew Barrymore, Heidi Klum, Liv Tyler, and Hilary Duff.
No word yet as to the details of the contract, but Taylor did spill some of her own fashion secrets: “I love wearing jeans and T-shirts. That’s like a uniform for me. But at the same time, I love getting dressed up. I don’t follow trends with my everyday fashion. I wear what I feel like. Sometimes it doesn’t match and sometimes that’s okay.”

Naomi Campbell Visits Ugly Betty
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip,
In the past few months, controversial stars have seen their share of the comedy spotlight. First, we had Britney Spears on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother. Then NBC welcomed Paris Hilton on My Name is Earl. Now it’s ABC’s turn to jump into the action.
For Ugly Betty‘s season finale (airing May 22), the producers will be bringing on troubled supermodel Naomi Campbell. (Apparently she hasn’t done anything to ban herself from the show’s set.) Like Victoria Beckham’s cameo last season, Campbell is expected to play some version of herself. In other words - Amanda better hide the staplers.
And just a reminder, Project Runway fans should make a point of tuning in on May 1. That’s when Christian Siriano and Nina Garcia are scheduled to make their entrances.

Judge Twiggy Leaving ‘America’s Next Top Model’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, The CW, America’s Next Top Model,
Is there something about Tyra Banks that female judges can’t stand?
When America’s Next Top Model first debuted in 2003, Baby Phat’s Kimora Lee Simmons graced the judge’s panel along Tyra. Since that time, the producers have met the estrogen quota by introducing ‘The World’s First Supermodel’ Janice Dickinson and Twiggy Lawson.
But now after 5 years with the ‘Living Legend’, we’ve learned of another new face for Season 10: Paulina Porizkova. The woman who was featured in many Sports Illustrated issues (and was quickly dismissed on last season’s Dancing With The Stars) will soon be warming Twiggy’s seat at the far end of the table. According to the producers, the replacement was made due to ‘scheduling conflicts’ in Ms. Lawson’s schedule. (Of course, we know that excuse could be used as loosely as ‘irreconcilable differences’.)
I can only imagine that this new development might provide a ratings boost for the now long-running show. I think most people in the 18-49 demographic can remember admiring Paulina’s photo at one point and time; I don’t think that’s something that could be said of Twiggy.
