2009-05-30T06:52:00.000-07:00

After more than a decade of providing a consistent string of hit albums and songs, Jay-Z is leaving Def Jam Records.

The rap mogul confirmed the amicable split Thursday (May 21). Jay-Z’s departure from Def Jam puts an end to rumors regarding the buy out of his contract with the iconic label, for a reported $5 million dollars.

During his stint at the Def Jam, Jay-Z transitioned from top-selling artist to music executive.

Jay-Z albums released under the Def Jam umbrella included In My Lifetime Vol. 1, Vol. 2.., Hard Knock Life and Vol. 3...Life and Times of S. Carter as well as The Dynasty: Roc La Familia, The Blueprint, The Blueprint: The Gift and the Curse and The Black Album.

Prior to officially stepping down, Jay-Z released his 2006 comeback opus, Kingdom Come.

A year later, the rapper’s concept album, American Gangster, followed.

In 2008, Jay-Z aligned with Live Nation via a wide-ranging deal, record label that included the creation of the Roc Nation record label as well as albums, touring and publishing.

Daisy Lowe High Landing After New MTV Series

2009-04-03T01:47:00.000-07:00

Daisy Lowe is moving up in the world after landing her own series on MTV. The model will film herself among the G20 protests this week and will be giving her views on how we can save the planet in the new fly-on-the-wall documentary.

The Agent Provocateur pin-up, 20, said: ‘A lot of people don’t understand who I am just looking at photos of me, but they’ll get a better idea of what I’m about with this show.’ Talking at a party in Camden last night, she added: ‘I’m spiritual and up for saving the world.’ A source added: ‘Daisy’s the perfect choice for a new observational documentary as she’s young and good looking and leads a really interesting life, so it’s bound to be great viewing.’ As well as being an up-and coming model, Daisy has a wealth of famous family and friends that the show’s producer’s will no doubt be hoping to include. Daisy’s mother is fashion designer Pearl Lowe, who is a friend of Kate Moss, and her father is Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.

Gavin is now married to Gwen Stefani and Pearl is married to Supergrass drummer Dan Goffey. That’s a few star guests covered. The source continued: ‘They will be filming all over the world, but it’s going to be an observational documentary, rather than reality TV.’ Last night - at the Kickers Random Bandit party in Camden’s Lock Tavern - Daisy distanced herself from other MTV series,

such as those by the Osbournes, Katie Price and Kerry Katona. Daisy said:’MTV are now doing some credible TV shows. I’m working on this with an old friend of mine who I trust and admire.’ An MTV spokesperson confirmed: ‘We’re very excited that Daisy has given MTV access to film her. It’s early stages, but we’re looking forward to working closely with her on this new project.’ MTV will continue filming tonight at Bolongaro Trevor in the West End, where Daisy will be DJing and mother Pearl will unveil her new clothing line.

Gisele Bundchen: Hot in Harper’s Bazaar

2009-03-12T22:41:00.000-07:00

Gisele Bundchen, a.k.a. Mrs. Tom Brady, is doing what she does best - posing for gorgeous photos (albeit a little weird at times) in fashion modeling mag Harper’s Bazaar.

The top model is a stepmother already - to Brady’s son John Edward Thomas with Bridget Moynhahan - but Gisele says she’s eager for more kids of her own. “I want to have a big family,” Bundchen tells Harper’s Bazaar for its April issue, in an interview that took place before getting married to Tom Brady.

“It’s all good in that part of life. It’s part of life I’m learning about every day. I’ve been challenged a lot by it, but it’s the most rewarding part.” “He is so kind,” she says. “He loves blueberries, and every now and then my dog, Vida, tries to get some food from him. He is so nice that he will actually give her the blueberries first. He is so cute and has such a sweet demeanor.”

Presumably she means John, not Tom. Of the bigger Brady, she adds: “Tom is a good guy. He has a pure heart. He’s very naive, almost like a child. That is my favorite quality about him. One thing that I thought was so amazing when I met him is he is innocent. He sees the world with [rose] colored glasses.”

Moss invites herself on The Kills tour

2009-02-05T20:09:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

Kate Moss has invited herself on her boyfriend’s tour, infuriating his bandmate Alison Mosshart.
The 35-year-old supermodel will join Jamie Hince when his band The Kills play in Australia next month - much to the displeasure of Alison.
A source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Kate has never been on tour with The Kills before and Alison believes it should stay this way.
“Jamie is in a difficult spot, he wants Kate with him but at the same time he’s desperate to appease Alison by keeping things strictly professional.
But he has promised Kate that if she comes out to Australia he’ll get her on stage and include her in the music.”
When model Kate dated Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, she sang on the track ‘La Belle Et Le Bete’ and was even given songwriting credits on four tracks on the band’s second album.
It seems as though the model - who has been dating Jamie since March last year - has similar ideas for The Kills.
The source explained: “Kate has written half a song which she is desperate for him to perform - with her.
“This goes totally against Alison’s ideas and she has made it very clear that The Kills are a closed shop and they should tour and perform alone.
“As far as she is concerned Kate should stick to the catwalk - her input is not welcome and completely out of place.”
It has also been reported Kate is desperate to travel to South Africa after falling in love with the British TV show ‘Wild At Heart’.
She has organised for Jamie, her six-year-old daughter Lila Grace, and her nanny to join her on safari later this year.
A source said: “Kate wants to see wildebeest and lions in particular.
“She chose South Africa over Kenya because that’s where ‘Wild At Heart’ is filmed. They’ve organised a half-term break.

Gisele Bundchen Engaged

2009-01-23T21:28:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are engaged. The Brazilian fashion model and American football star are set to wed after Tom got down on one knee and proposed with a diamond solitaire ring in Los Angeles on Friday (09.01.09).

Gisele's agent has refused to confirm the happy news, saying: We don't comment on our clients' private lives. A source said: "He asked and she accepted. The couple are discussing a huge fashionista event in the spring or a more intimate and quicker ceremony in Costa Rica, where Gisele has a home."

Gisele's agent has refused to confirm the happy news, saying: "We don't comment on our clients' private lives."

Rumours of impending nuptials were quashed in December but the model has now confirmed the pair plan to tie the knot in spring 2010.

Gisele - who has previously dated 'Revolutionary Road' actor Leonardo DiCaprio and professional surfer Kelly Slater - allegedly began her relationship with Tom when he was still romantically involved with actress Bridget Moynahan.

Bridget fell pregnant just before the pair split in December 2006 and gave birth to their son John Edward Thomas the following August.

Cindy Crawford Says ‘Hannah Montana’ Teaches Her Daughter ‘to Be Sassy’

2009-01-09T21:58:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

Though she loves “Hannah Montana,” Cindy Crawford bans her daughter from watching it because it teaches her “to be sassy.”

Super fashion model Cindy Crawford openly reveals she has banned her daughter, Kaya Jordan Gerber, from watching “Hannah Montana,” claiming the hit TV series to have taught the 7-year-old girl “to be sassy.” About that she explains, “I love Hannah Montana, but she (daughter) learns to be sassy from that show. I’ll say to her, ‘I don’t let anyone talk to me like that. I’ll certainly not take it from a seven year old in my own house.’”

Disney’s “Hannah Montana” is a musical sitcom series which is famous among teenagers. It stars Miley Cyrus as the main character who lives a double life as an average teenage school girl named Miley Stewart by day and a famous pop singer named Hannah Montana by night, concealing her real identity from the public, other than her close friends and family.

Aside from her fashion modeling career, Cindy Crawford is a mother of two children; son Presley Walker Gerber and daughter Kaya Jordan Gerber, both of whom she has with her club owner husband Rande Gerber. Before marrying Rande, she was married to actor Richard Gere from 1991 to 1995. Opening up about her early modeling career, Cindy admitted she used to be bullied at school by classmates who were jealous of her skyrocketing career. “I was introduced to the local photographer who took some cheesy test shots of me. Some girls at school found out, called me and said they were from a local store in our town, saying they wanted me to model for them. I showed up for the interview, and the woman there said she knew nothing about it,” so she recalled. “I was so humiliated and I walked out and saw four girls from high school pointing and laughing.”

Gisele Bundchen and the New England Patriots Odds

2008-12-30T21:36:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

High over the East Coast, in a private plane bursting with white roses and champagne, Brady popped the question to his longtime girlfriend on Christmas Eve, TMZ.com and E! News reported Friday.

The injured New England Patriots quarterback, famous for his clutch play, was nervous — but the Brazilian-born fashion model Bundchen, 28, said yes, TMZ said. With Gisele’s parents looking on, Brady, 31, proposed after their jet took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on a flight bound for Boston.

It’s unclear if the prolific passer got down on his injured left knee. Star magazine reported last week the obnoxiously attractive couple plan to tie the knot in Costa Rica, where Bundchen has a vacation home. Reps for Brady and Bundchen did not return calls for comment. Patriots spokesman Stacey James was mum.

“I’m sure when the time comes that Tom wants the world to know these kind of details, he’ll let everyone know,” James told the Boston Globe. Just hours after TMZ reported the engagement, the happy couple exited his Back Bay townhouse with Gisele’s mom and dad. When asked about the engagement, the Boston Herald reported the ever-so-polite Brady just smirked and hopped into an idling Town Car with the ringless Bundchen and her parents, Vania and Valdir.

Brady’s assistant, Will McDonough, also wouldn’t comment. Brady was at the Patriots’ training room at Gillette Stadium Friday, but he bolted after spotting reporters in the team locker room.
Brady and his lady have had ample time to bond this fall. The three-time Super Bowl winner has been sidelined since the season opener, when he blew out his knee.

The Brady and Bundchen romance kicked off scandalously two years ago. Brady hooked up with the sultry supermodel shortly after ditching his pregnant former flame, Bridget Moynahan, an actress he dated for three years. The pair provided endless fodder for gossip magazines as they canoodled around the globe while Moynahan was left to work through her pregnancy alone in California.

Brady’s sullied reputation was bolstered soon after the birth of his son. Brady was there when little John Edward Thomas Moynahan was born in 2007 and frequently has been spotted spending time with his only child. He was spotted with the tyke just before Christmas at Bundchen’s West Village townhouse. Bundchen’s relationship with Brady is not her first headline-snatching romance either. The leggy beauty dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio on-and-off for years before the couple split for good in 2005.

Claudia Schiffer announced as new face of Yves Saint Laurent

2008-12-13T02:21:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

As a ’supermodel’ she has graced all the major catwalk models shows and magazine throughout the world. Here Hilary Alexander explains why Claudia Schiffer has been picked once again to front YSL’s latest ad campaign. Claudia Schiffer, the Comeback Queen, has been named as the latest ‘supermodel’ to become the ‘face’ of Yves Saint Laurent.

The German former catwalk model follows in the stiletto heels of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen and the flame-haired Brit, Karen Elson, all of whom have been hand-picked by YSL’s creative director, Stefano Pilati, to front the brand’s major advertising campaigns.

The new campaign starring Claudia Schiffer was shot in the iconic Hollywood Hills by the photographic ‘dream team’ of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and will begin appearing in January when the February editions of the glossies hit the newstands.

The exclusive shot, pictured above, is the first to be released and is the image Pilati has selected as the cover of his fourth fashion ‘mission statement’, the Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto, which will be distributed worldwide on February 14th, 2009.

Schiffer’s fame dates from the late 80s when she was discovered in a Düsseldorf nightclub at the age of 15. She became an overnight sensation when fellow German, the couturier and designer, Karl Lagerfeld, dubbed her the ’new Bridgette Bardot’ and sent her down the Chanel catwalk in Paris as the new ‘face’ of the brand.

Although her walk was criticised as less than graceful, she was an immediate hit and her global appeal was assured when she appeared in a Guess? jeans advertising campaign. She became the first model to make the covers of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone magazine, the New York Times and People.

After a decade as a supermodel, she gradually took on fewer and fewer fashion modeling assignments. She married the British film producer-director Matthew Vaughan in 2002, who gave her a tortoise instead of a wedding ring.

The couple have two children and an Elizabethan mansion in Suffolk, as well as homes in London, New York, Germany and Monte Carlo. She made a spectacular return to the international fashion scene when she rejoined forces with Karl Lagerfeld as the ‘face’ of this year’s Chanel spring/summer campaign.

Now 38, she says: ”I know one day I’ll be considered too old. But I think 40-year-old women actually look more healthy and fit than some girls in their 20s. I’ve met women who have way better bodies in their 40s because they’ve been working on them for all these years.”

Tyra Banks to transform ‘Top Model’ contestant Isis into a woman

2008-11-28T04:01:00.000-08:00

Love and Dating

US Supermodel Tyra Banks and the creator of her glamorous reality show ‘America’s Next Top Model’, has surprised ANTM’s first transgender contestant Isis King with a gift that many could only dream about-A free sex change operation.

The fashion model Banks announced on her talk show Tuesday that she would help King become a woman — a real woman. The talk show hostess announced that she has found a doctor to pay for King to undergo sex reassignment surgery.

Born Darrell Walls on October 1, 1985, King is the Prince George’s County resident. The 23 year old was born a mail, and was living in a homeless shelter when Banks discovered her and featured her in a photo shoot for the 10th cycle of her reality series.

King returned as a full-fledged contestant on “America’s Next Top Model” this season, but was kicked off almost midway through the current season after failing to produce a stunning photo during a shoot that required her to pose in swim suit.

“Darrell was somebody that I had to be. He had to be a certain thing. Darrell was never me. Isis is me. I’m free, I’m happy,” King said.

“This is not happening! “[I feel] like I’m about to wake up,” King said when Banks told her that they are going to transform her completely into a woman. On her show, Banks introduced King to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon.

Dr. Bowers, who has experienced the surgery herself, is paying for the surgery.
King had been taking hormone replacement therapy but hadn’t received the surgery because of the high costs ($20,000 to $35,000).

“I look at it like, ‘Yes, I’m the first transgender contestant, but OK, lets move past it now. I try not to think about [being transgendered] because… I feel like I really was born in the wrong body, and it’s just the one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable,” King said Tuesday on Banks’ talk show.

Born in Los Angeles December 4, 1973, to Carolyn and Don Banks, Tyra Banks has parlayed her supermodel status into film, television, and music. She first emerged to prominence on the runways of Paris, Milan, London, Tokyo, and the U.S., but her work in the commercial world was her breakthrough.

Banks is best known as hostess/judge of the reality television show America’s Next Top Model, and is currently hosting her own Daytime Emmy Award-nominated talk show, The Tyra Banks Show.

America’s next top fashion models (ANTM) is a competitive reality TV show hosted and co produced by former Victoria’s Secret model Tyra Banks with the first cycle premiered in May 2003 on UPN (later CW). The “Top Model” finale airs Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Naomi Campbell has caused a ruckus at an airport once again after she was booed by passengers for allegedly queue jumping.

The prickly fashion model sparked an upset when she was reportedly given the royal treatment and escorted past 200 waiting passengers through passport control.

‘An older lady was about to have her passport checked, but she was told to wait so Naomi could go first,’ one onlooker told the New York Daily News.

Another passenger who sat in first class on the American Airlines flight with Campbell said: ‘It p***ed off a lot of people.’

The model, 38, was banned from British Airways and sentenced to 200 hours community service earlier this year after assaulting a police officer onboard a flight during a lost luggage row.

The Victoria’s Secret hot model, who flew into Melbourne on Thursday night for yesterday’s Caulfield Cup, is sublimely happy with her man (who is shooting a movie and cannot be with her for this very short visit).
“People can write whatever they like,” Kerr said.

“It doesn’t make any difference to us.
“We know what the truth is, along with our families and close friends. I don’t even bother reading some of those reports.”

In the meantime, with several top international publishing firms vying for the rights for Treasure Yourself, Kerr’s beauty guide directed to young glamour model women, she has decided instead to go with a “herbal” publishing company.

“It’s a great alignment with my personal belief system,” Kerr comments. “Hay House is allowing me to present the book exactly as it should be done with a hard cover and beautiful illustrations that people will treasure forever.

“I have spent two years writing this book which will encourage young women to love themselves whatever their size.

“The most important thing is to eat heathily and to treat your body with respect.
“Now we are in the final editing process and I expect that it will be available in the first half of next year.“It’s very exciting.”
