Kate Upton, The Girl With A Face "Anyone" Can Buy, Is Model of the Year

Kate Upton has been named model of the year and will pick up the prize at the 10th annual Style Awards that kicks off New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (September 4, 2013), according to the Los Angeles Times.

The 21-year-old rose to fame as the buxom bombshell with the icy blue eyes, though has been turning heads in the high-fashion world too, gracing the cover of American Vogue as well as Elle and now Vanity Fair's 100th anniversary issue.

The decision to have her on the cover of the fashion bible made headlines worldwide and left Victoria's Secret red-faced. The company's stylist Sophie Neophitou had previously spoken out about the American model, saying she was "too obvious" a choice to appear in the annual catwalk event.

"We would never use [Upton]. She's like a Page 3 girl," she told the New York Times. "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blonde hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy." However, the tide soon turned and Upton was furious when Victoria's Secret used images of her in one of its catalogues.

Aversion to Upton's dinstinct style was commonplace during her rise up the fashion ladder. During an interview with Vanity Fair, the model recalled, "I'm not going to name names, but one agency told me, 'You're too American, and everybody knows American women are lazy. I was so offended! I've never been so offended! I was like, 'You know that you're in America, right?' And it wasn't 'American models' - it was 'American women are lazy,' period! I feel like a lot of women would disagree with that. A lot!"

Kim Kardashian Is Pregnant Once Again In CR Fashion Book

Little North West entered the world almost two months ago as the second most highly anticipated baby of the year, with paparazzi tracking Kim Kardashian’s every move at the time. Now, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has retreated from the public eye to revel in the joys of motherhood, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t take a trip down memory lane with the publication of a pregnancy photoshoot by in the upcoming issue of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book.


The biannual fashion magazine might be a little off the mark timing-wise, but Roitfeld is cleverly marketing the shots as “precious moment of Kim’s pregnancy that people haven’t seen” — and the ideal tribute to the issue’s theme of hope. “Pregnancy is something that I always love. It’s about hope and the future and a new baby,” she explained, via Women’s Wear Daily.

Wiz Khalifa Collaborates With Adele And Miley Cyrus For New Album

Rapper Wiz Khalifa has teamed up with Miley Cyrus and Adele in the studio.

The Black and Yellow hitmaker will release Blacc Hollywood later this year (13) and has enlisted some big names for the record, but none of the songs have been cleared yet.

He says, "I got a lot of guest appearances that I've already done, but none of them have been cleared for the album yet. I got songs with Miley (Cyrus), I got songs with Adele."

Wiz Khalifa has also revealed he wanted to collaborate with Lady Gaga, but has had a hard time linking up with the pop superstar.

He continues, "I want to do something with her really bad."

Alison Pill: 'Topless Tweet Haunted Me For Months'

Actress Alison Pill is still cringing about her accidental topless tweet and she's convinced everyone she meets has seen the photo of her boobs.

The Newsroom star stunned her thousands of followers last September (12) when she uploaded a candid snap meant for her then-fiance Jay Baruchel to her page on the social networking site.

Pill, who is no longer engaged to funnyman Baruchel, has now opened up about her naked photo shame.

She tells U.S. talk show host Conan O'Brien, "I had one of these pictures on my phone because I had been away from my, at the time, fiance... I'm still trying to understand what happened. It's a fascinating story, involving not knowing that my new BlackBerry had a touch screen and responding to somebody on Twitter like, 'Oh yeah, New York was great, it's 9.30 on a Wednesday, also, apropos of nothing, here are my boobs!' It's a dumb thing to do, I suppose."

And the 27 year old admits the embarrassing moment haunted her for months afterward: "Anytime I met a new person I (kept thinking), 'Boobs! Nice to meet you, you've seen my boobs.'"

Pill and Baruchel were planning to marry last year (12), but the Canadian couple called off the wedding amid reports the long-distance relationship was too difficult to manage.

Jack Nicholson To Retire From Acting Due To Memory Loss

Jack Nicholson will no longer be appear on the big screen as the movie legend is set to retire from acting for good, a report from Radar Online has revealed. With more that half a century worth of work the triple Oscar winner has quietly retreated from the movie industry for good, due mostly to his failing memory and certain health concerns related to his old age.

Having shied away from any roles since 2010's How Do You Know, it has been revealed that his retreat from acting is down to his decision to call time on his profession and enjoy his retirement. A Hollywood insider told Radar, “Jack has — without fanfare — retired,” adding, "There is a simple reason behind his decision — it’s memory loss. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him. His memory isn’t what it used to be.”

Although there has been no word from the acting legend himself about his supposed career move, his absence from Hollywood movie sets of late has been a telling sign that his career in front of the camera is coming to an end. He was recently approached to play the lead in the upcoming film Nebraska, but ultimately told producers that he had no interest in appearing on film any time soon. He may not be acting anymore, but that doesn't mean he will become a hermit and go into hiding though, which is great news because it could spell more moments like this run in with Jennifer Lawrence at the 2013 Oscars.

Rachel Zoe can't wait for new baby to arrive

Rachel Zoe is ''beyond excited'' to be expecting her second child.

The fashion designer and celebrity stylist - who already has a two-year-old son, Skyler, with her husband of seven years Rodger Berman - has officially confirmed she is pregnant again.

The 42-year-old reality TV star wrote on her website on Tuesday (03.09.13): ''Rodger, Skyler and I hope that everyone had an amazing summer! Before we head into the chaos of fashion season, we wanted to take a moment to OFFICIALLY confirm that we are expecting another child.''

She added: ''We are beyond excited for Skyler to have a sibling and for us to fall in love all over again. We feel incredibly blessed. Thank you all for your constant love and support of our family.''

News that the petite blonde was expecting another baby first began circulating in June.

Rachel previously said her husband finds it funny that she is now more interested in her son's clothes than her own.

She said: ''Oh my God, my husband laughs at me because I spend more time in his closet in the morning than I do in my own. And, you know, it's incredibly fun. It's like having a live doll. And he loves it.

''Right now, he loves getting dressed. At some point, I'm sure in a year, he's gonna hate everything I show him and just wanna wear, like, soccer uniforms or something.

''He's amazing! He just makes me laugh from morning until night. He gets cuter every second of every minute.''

Nonini: Hustler To Godfather

He is famed for his tracks that threw hin into, albeit controversial, stardom like Manzi wa Nairobi and We kamu in 2004 when his fans knew him as the small-framed and skinny Nonini. Many also remember him hawking CDs during concerts, hustling for every penny.

However, he recently declared the highest-paid artist in terms of royalties and long gone are the CDs- he was among the first to invest, and benefit, heavily from music downloads.

When the pay checks begun rolling in, so did the chubbiness, but in his defense, he did work on his style adopting a new look with fancy hats and fitting suits, completing his new image as Godfather of Genge.

Katee Sackhoff Got Permission For Topless Scene From Dad

Actress Katee Sackhoff called her dad to ask his permission to strip off in her new movie.

The Battlestar Galactica star was thrilled when she landed a role opposite Vin Diesel in new film Riddick, but wasn't happy when she learned there would be a topless scene.

She says, "I got the role and then (director) David Twohy had said to me, 'You know the boob is not negotiable,' so I called my dad and asked permission. I was really nervous... I would hate to do something to embarrass him.

"I told him I got the role and he got really excited and then I said, 'There's a three-to-five second side boob push-in, nude...!' He asked, 'Is there a nipple?' and I was like, 'Probably...'"

Sackhoff then called her fiance to give him the heads up, adding, "He was like, 'Listen, you've been doing this for so long, no one is gonna think this is how you got your start. Go for it!'"

Lady Gaga Thrills Tlc Pair With Old Song

Lady Gaga held back a new song she has handed to Tlc stars Tionne 't-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'chilli' Thomas because she feared it sounded too much like a Tlc tune.

The Paparazzi singer has written Posh Life for the duo's comeback but the Waterfalls singers reveal Lady Gaga originally penned the song for herself.

Watkins says, "She was like, 'I don't want to disrespect the girls'. We were like, 'Let's sing it and see how it goes. I mean, you wrote it.' It was so funny hearing her sing like us... I was just like, 'Why not sing it then?' She was just like so excited and we're excited."

Thomas and Watkins are now hoping their new pal will join them in the studio: "She wants to, (but) you know them record company people. If it was up to the artist, all three of us are down. So we'll see what happens."

Other stars of the show include Alexander Skarsgard, Rutina Wesley, Ryan Kwanten, Nelson Ellis and Joe Manganiello.

Is Pippa Middleton Engaged to Nico Jackson?

Pippa Middleton is reportedly secretly engaged to her boyfriend Nico Jackson.

Britain's Duchess of Cambridge's sister, 29, will wed the stockbroker, 35, next spring and is excited for the upcoming nuptials.

One friend told the Sunday People newspaper: ''Pippa loved seeing Kate go down the aisle and now it is her turn for a fairytale wedding.

''She couldn't be more sure that Nico is the right man for her. They are such a good fit for each other and their families get on really well. Everyone is so happy for Pippa.''

Nico is believed to have proposed to her just before the Wimbledon tennis tournament in June this year and a formal announcement for the engagement is expected after the brunette beauty's 30th birthday on Friday (06.09.13).

The pair were delaying the announcement until Pippa's sister safely delivered her first baby with Prince William.

The source explained: ''They didn't want an announcement before Pippa's birthday because they didn't want to take the shine off Kate and her baby.''

Nico and Pippa - who have been dating for more than six months - are on a romantic Caribbean holiday in secret and they are thought to be renting a villa on one of the tropical islands.

Kelly Brook: I have fashion regrets 'every day'

Kelly Brook has fashion regrets on a daily basis.

The stunning model-and-actress admits she doesn't always dress immaculately because she's so busy and ends up looking back at photos of herself and regretting her sartorial choices.

She said: ''I have [regrets] every day. I sometimes see pictures and think, 'Urgh, why did I put that on?' I'm a busy girl and I don't always have time to put a perfect outfit together.''

When she is feeling glamorous, however, the 33-year-old star likes to pick out her finest dress from her closet and she thinks good posture is key.

She added to heat magazine: ''[I wear] a gorgeous dress, diamonds, a beautiful clutch and killer heels. Simple but chic. Be confident and work on your posture. That will make any outfit stand out.''

Kelly also reveals that she looks up to A-list star Jennifer Lopez, who, like her, is known for her enviable curves.

Quizzed about her style icons, she responded: ''Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez for red carpet glamour, and Diane Kruger for 'girl about town' style.''

Scarlett Johansson Gives A Strong Performance But Can't Save A Sinking Ship: Review Round-Up Of 'Under The Skin'

Scarlett Johansson stars in the Jonathan Glazer sci-fi that is currently dividing critics at the Venice Film Festival right down the middle; Under the Skin. Amidst reports that parts of the audience walked out during the screening of the Scotland-filmed movie, whilst others just stayed and heckled until the end, the film has also received some of the strongest reviews given in the festival so far, with some praising the film as a modern masterpiece.

Scarlett Johansson Under the Skin premiere
The new film has split critics

The critics are well and truly divided over the film, in which Johansson plays a black wigged alien who feasts on ramblers in the Scottish Highlands and Glasgow city centre; hardly your standard blurb for a film being touted as one of the best in years, but then again it is also being touted as one of the worst films in years too. Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave a glowing, five-star review of the film, which he described as an "astonishing" feat that will leave audiences "entranced and terrified" at the same time. He goes on to mention that, in a largely dialogue-free setting, Scarlett give a superb and chilling performance that may just be her best to date, as she wanders purposely through Glasgow to harvest human with masterful acting ability. As for Glazer's direction, he seems to pinpoint where people may have disagreed with the film, stating that the director "leaves you to make sense of his images by yourself, or simply to wallow in them when you can’t."

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is on 'the verge of death'

Mike Tyson has revealed that he is on the verge of dying from alcohol and drug abuse after years of lying about being sober.

The former heavyweight champion made the startling revelation while at a press conference to promote ESPN's Friday Night Fights at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, New York on Friday.

'I'm a bad guy sometimes,' he said. 'I did a lot of bad things, and I want to be forgiven... I wanna change my life, I wanna live a different life now. I wanna live my sober life.

'I don't wanna die. I’m on the verge of dying, because I’m a vicious alcoholic.'

After realizing what he had shared, he paused before adding that he has not consumed alcohol or drugs in six days, which he called 'a miracle'.

'I've been lying to everybody else that think I was sober, but I'm not,' he admitted. 'This is my sixth day. I'm never gonna use again.'

Tyson's struggle with alcohol and drugs has been well documented; he has been in and out of rehab three times.

He has also admitted that around five years ago he was contemplating suicide and overdosing - just before his four-year-old daughter Exodus died on May 26, 2009 when she was strangled by a cord while playing on a treadmill. He said that the tragedy served as a wake up call.

The movie that made President Obama cry

President Barack Obama says he got teary while watching "Lee Daniels' The Butler," a movie about a black White House servant who worked for several presidents.

Obama says he reflected on the effects of discrimination on a generation of people. He says that generation displayed dignity and tenacity and, quote, "put up with a whole lot of mess because they hoped for something better for their kids."

Obama discussed the movie with radio host Tom Joyner and co-host Sybil Wilkes of the "Tom Joyner Morning Show."

Obama said White House butlers have been kind and warm to his family. He suspects that part of it is they look at his daughters, Malia and Sasha, and they say, quoting, "Well, this looks like my grandbaby or this looks like my daughter."

Rapper 2 Chainz arrested in Oklahoma City

Rapper 2 Chainz has been arrested for obstructing a police officer in Oklahoma City.

The arrest came after a nine hour stand-off with law enforcement after the hip hop artist's tour bus was pulled over for a broken tail light on early Thursday morning, according to police.

Officers on the scene immediately found evidence of drug use and attempted to enter the vehicle, but were promptly locked out by the bus' occupants.

The driver of the vehicle was quickly arrested but officers had to wait until the next morning to obtain a warrant to gain entry onto the bus.

While obtaining the warrant, police towed the large touring vehicle to a nearby law enforcement training facility.

On Thursday morning, 2 Chainz, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, was arrested along with 10 other people on charges of obstructing a police officer, according to Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow.

The arrest came after the 35-year-old rapper performed with Lil Wayne and T.I. in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.

According to officer Wardlow the driver of the bus was the first to get arrested: 'But as he got off the bus, the interior door shut and locked and obviously our officers could not get in there.'

The remaining people on the bus refused to leave the vehicle, so officers towed it to a nearby police training facility about four miles away.

According to Wardlow investigators obtained a warrant and all 11 people came off the bus around 9 a.m.

They were arrested on the obstruction charge and booked into Oklahoma County Jail on Thursday afternoon.

Wardlow also reported that investigators found narcotics on the bus, but don't know to whom those belonged. She said more charges could be filed later.

The Atlanta-based rapper, initially known as Tity Boi, was a member of the rap duo Playaz Circle before going solo.

His 2012 debut album, Based on a T.R.U. Story, topped the Billboard charts. His new album, B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time, is set to be released next month.

Painting of President in lady’s underwear seized

Police seized a painting of Russia’s president and prime minister in women’s underwear from a gallery in St Petersburg, saying the satirical display had broken unspecified laws.

The officers also removed a picture of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, his torso covered in tattoos, and two others poking fun at lawmakers who have backed legislation banning so-called gay propaganda, gallery staff said.

The police service said it had taken paintings from the “Museum of Power” gallery - based in two rooms of a flat. It gave no further detail but Russia does have a law against insulting authorities - an offence that carries a maximum one-year prison term.

One painting showed president Vladimir Putin wearing a tight-fitting slip and brushing the hair of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who is wearing knickers and a bra.

St Petersburg deputy Vitaly Mironov, whose face was combined with the gay rights movement’s rainbow flag in one of the paintings, told Reuters the images were inappropriate and “of a distinctly pornographic character”. -Reuters

Jessie J Will Recreate The Voice Judging At Home

Pop star Jessie J misses her role as a judge on The Voice so much, she plans to play along at home when the next series airs - complete with a spinning red chair.

The Price Tag hitmaker served as a panellist on the first two seasons of the British version of the talent show, in which the judges sit with their backs to the contestants but rotate their chairs when they hear a singer they like.

She quit earlier this year (13) to re-focus her efforts on her music career, but the star admits she misses working on the show so much, she plans to recreate the studio in her own living room when the next season goes out.

Jessie tells Hello! magazine, "I'm really excited about being a fan of the show now. If I get a Saturday night off I'll get so much popcorn and a cheap chair from Ikea in red and face the other way and then spin round when I like them. And at least I'll be able to help decide who wins now. I wasn't allowed to before - it was down to the public."

Justin Bieber saved by bouncers from nightclub attack

Justin Bieber has been attacked in a nightclub in his native Canada.

The pop idol was mingling with patrons in a Toronto nightspot at 3am on Saturday when an angry man charged at him.

His rival got a hold of his shirt but was prevented from tackling the star by quick acting bouncers, who grabbed the assailant and dragged him to the floor.

In pictures shown on TMZ, the Baby favourite then appears to land some sneaky kicks while his opponent is on the ground.

According to eyewitnesses Bieber, 19, had left the safety of the club's VIP section to mingle with ordinary clubgoers.

This is when the angry young man rushed at him, grabbed his shirt and attempted to take him to the floor.

While his assailant was escorted out of he club, Bieber soon made his way home of his own accord.
According to reports police were never called about the nightclub fracas, and Bieber's spokesman declined to comment on the incident when contacted by Mail Online.

The Under The Mistletoe favourite is certainly no stranger to fisticuffs.

For he infamously had to held back by his own minders when he tried to get into a fistfight with photographers in London in March.

The incident prompted top music manager Peter Mensch to reveal he would use corporal punishment to sort out his discipline problems.

He said: 'I’d take Bieber to the woodshed and spank him.'

Helena Christensen to swap modelling for photography?

Helena Christensen may give up modelling for photography.

The 44-year-old supermodel has been enjoying success as a photographer in recent years, particularly through her charity work with Oxfam - who exhibited her photographs in York City - and she is contemplating a permanent move behind the camera.

She said: ''If it continues the way it's going, then that is probably the direction I'm going in.

''I am still amazed you can capture one second of life and keep it forever. I still sit with my grandma and look through all the photos she's glued in her album over the years. Photography has been important in a fundamental way throughout my life. On one hand, I have this strange, amazing, interesting job as a model. On the other, I am a photographer. They complement each other well.''

The Danish beauty has starred in numerous high fashion campaigns throughout her career, but she is now excited to work behind the scenes in fashion as a photographer and most recently, a handbag designer for accessories company Kipling.

Helena designed her own series of handbags for Kipling and put her personal stamp on the brand's famous bags.

She told to the Metro newspaper: ''Since my early twenties I've been pulling Kipling bags along on my trips, so when they approached me to collaborate I thought it would be cool to put my own touch on bags I'd probably be travelling with anyway.

''I've been in the business so long it's great to get a more three-dimensional experience. Working with a company, expanding my horizons and learning about other sides of the businesses, about the technical approach, gives me a completely different insight.''

Katie Price - Leandro Penna: Katie Price's marriage won't last

Leandro Penna doesn't believe his ex-fiancée Katie Price's marriage to Kieran Hayler will ''last''. The Argentinian model split from Katie last October after being in a relationship with her for almost two years and she embarked on a relationship with part-time stripper and actor Kieran several weeks later. Katie and Kieran married in January just weeks after they got engaged last Christmas, but the reality TV star's former lover isn't predicting a long-lasting future for them. When asked if he thinks Katie's marriage will stand the test of time, Lendro said: ''No. It won't last. I give it a year, tops.'' Katie and her third husband have since had a baby together, son Jett Riviera who is currently being cared for in a European hospital after he had to be delivered eight weeks premature while Katie was on holiday after she contracted an infection that could have affected the stability of her womb. The 27-year-old South American hunk - who first met Katie at Sir Elton John's Oscars party in February 2011 - isn't surprised the 35-year-old beauty has had another child, because she was desperate to have a fourth kid when they were a couple. In an interview in the new issue of heat magazine, he said: ''She told me so many times she wanted to marry me, but I didn't want to marry her. She always said she wanted a baby with me, but I didn't want one. She was not someone I wanted to start a family with. Her life is a business and I don't want my life to be like that.'' Katie also has 11-year-old son Harvey, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke, and son Junior, eight, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, six, with her ex-husband Peter Andre.

The six key players in Congress' Syria debate

WASHINGTON — A week ago, it seemed the question of whether to take military action against Syria rested solely on the shoulders of President Obama.

But he has turned to Congress to authorize military airstrikes against Syria for using chemical weapons, setting up the most consequential foreign policy vote since the 2002 authorization of the Iraq War.



Obama and his supporters on Capitol Hill will have to overcome broad skepticism about the merits of military strikes and navigate the political divisions that have left Congress largely paralyzed.

The vote also cast a spotlight on key lawmakers who will be critical in determining whether or not Congress authorizes Obama to use military force. Congress is still on recess, but the arm-twisting has begun and the Syria resolution will be the first order of business in both the House and Senate when they return Sept. 9.

Debi Mazar - Debi Mazar Enjoyed 'Making Love' To Her Husband In New Lovelace Biopic

Actress Debi Mazar can't watch herself having sex onscreen - unless it's with her husband.

The Goodfellas star requested her real-life spouse as a sex scene partner in new movie Lovelace and admits it was one of her most enjoyable lovemaking movements on a movie set.

She tells Wenn, "I can't watch myself having an orgasm on the big screen. Thank God it's my husband that's in front of me in between my legs in this film.

"I did another film many years ago when I was broken up in a relationship and I was really skinny and I had to do a nude scene and I was horrified to watch myself being intimate on camera with someone else.

"As an actor I throw myself into the scene and it was fantastic. The good news is I got to rehearse at home a lot, since the actor playing the guy between my legs (in the film) happened to be my husband, so that made it a lot of fun."

The actress portrays porn star Dolly Sharp in the new Linda Lovelace biopic, which also features Amanda Seyfried as the titular character and Sharon Stone as her mum.

James Russell - Morrissey Filmmaker Wants To Shoot Ac/dc In Sydney

James Russell, the director behind Morrissey's new concert movie, has his sights set on filming Ac Dc at the Sydney Opera House or Harbour Bridge in Australia.

The filmmaker shot the former The Smiths star during his intimate show at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles earlier this year (13) and the footage made up Morrissey 25: Live.

And now Russell has ambitious plans to shoot heavy rockers Ac Dc Down Under.

He tells Wenn, "If I had a dream gig I'd like to film, it would be Ac Dc in front of Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge. That would be amazing.

"I'd also like to film Rihanna in Barbados - that would be stunning in a totally different way."

The latter project might be an easier one to fix as Russell has already worked with Rihanna's pal Katy Perry - he was the director of her London Live performance in 2010.

Drake - Drake Sleeping In Studio To Finish Album On Time

Rapper Drake has taken to sleeping in the studio in an effort to complete his new album by his label deadline of 9 September (13).

The Best I Ever Had hitmaker has holed himself up at the Metalworks Studios in his native Toronto, Canada with his producer Noah '40' Shebib as they work around the clock to finish Nothing Was The Same, as record bosses need him to turn in the masters within days in order to stick to the project's planned release later this month (Sep13).

Speaking to RollingStone.com on Friday (30Aug13), he said, "We have just 10 days before we turn it in. I'm literally sleeping in the studio on an air mattress. We're working 24-hour days to make sure the story is done, front to back. It has to be a new point of discovery."

Nina Dobrev Does Yoga in Bikini, Nation Laments End of Summer

The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev posted a photo of herself doing some bikini-clad lakeside yoga, making us a little sad that it's Labor Day weekend.

#yogi4life," she wrote, and with today marking the unofficial end of summer, these are the memories we will cherish forever. Or at least until Memorial Day 2014.


If it's any consolation, The Vampire Diaries Season 5 kicks off October 3, and we can at least speculate that she is taunting Ian Somerhalder a bit with this photo.

Taunts or no taunts, she is loving life these days.

After the jump, you can also check out another pic of Dobrev with best friend Julianne Hough and other pals, having what looks like the best day EVER.

One Direction: Number-One at the Box Office!

The Butler was no match for the boy band.

After a strong opening day showing at the box office, One Direction continued to dominate on Saturday and Sunday, racking up $17 million in total profits and finishing the holiday weekend as the top film in all the land.

Kendra Spears: Married to Prince Rahim Aga Khan!

Kendra Spears is a married woman!

The American supermodel tied the knot with Prince Rahim Aga Khan, the eldest son of billionaire racehorse owner, in a traditional Muslim ceremony.


After a short engagement of only four months, Spears, 24, and her husband, 41, couple exchanged vows at the Bellerive Castle in Geneva, Switzerland.

The couple's engagement was made public in April by the Aga Khan in a press release on his website. They had not confirmed a wedding date at the time.

His Highness, who is the spiritual leader of the world's Shia Ismaili Muslims, said that he was "delighted to announce the engagement" at the time.

Spears has appeared in ads for Diane von Furstenberg and Prada, and walked the catwalk for Calvin Klein, Chanel, Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent and others.

Kendra is also a University of Washington sociology graduate.

Rahim studied in the U.S. at Brown and in Spain at the Navarra Business School. He is involved in the poverty reduction efforts of the Aga Khan Development Network.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Miranda Kerr: Topless in Interview Magazine!

Australian beauty Miranda Kerr has been letting it all hang out lately, even by her standards, and her latest spread in Interview Magazine is no exception.

Wearing nothing but a fur throw and a pearl G-string, Kerr revealed her full breast and the majority of her incomprehensible body in this sultry photo:


Interview readers who wish to see a Miranda Kerr nipple slip will get all of that and more if they pick up the upcoming "Model Issue." It's rather star-studded.

She joins "the original seven" supermodels Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Amber Valletta, Kate Moss, Stephanie Seymour and Daria Werbowsky.

Models Jourdan Dunn, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Constance J Jablonski and Andreea Diaconu also appear in a Goddesses" feature.

Wearing nothing more than furs and pearls as well. Gulp.

Cher Album Covers: Playboy Centerfold-Esque!

For Cher, 67 is the new 27. The legendary singer unveiled two new covers for her September 24 alnum, "Closer to the Truth," writing as a caption to one via Twitter that it features "Playboy Centerfold effects."
And it's pretty easy to see what she means.
With her bleached blonde hair and her lack of clothing, it would be easy for one to mistake this legendary artist with Courtney Stodden. Stil... we should all look this good at 67, right? Listen to Cher's recent duet with Lady Gaga, then gaze upon her:

Khloe Kardashian on Lamar Odom Scandal: "I'm Not Made of Steel"

So much for smiling through the pain. Not long after telling her Instagram followers that her plan was to put on a happy face, Khloe Kardashian has taken to Twitter with a different message. "As much as I wish I were made of steel... I'm not," Khloe wrote last night. "I'm pretty damn close to it though hehe."
Kardashian, of course, is not-so-indirectly referencing the myriad issues facing her relationship with troubled husband Lamar Odom these days. Following rampant allegations of infidelity, followed by rumors of the basketball player's serious drug use, Odom was arrested for DUI on Friday. He has since been released on bond, but Khloe refuses to let him move home unless Lamar gets help, which he has been (and remains) resistant to. Sources say Khloe told Lamar the same thing a few days prior to his arrest in what has been an ongoing source of tension between the couple. Then Odom endangered himself and others on the road, and subsequently failed to contact her or his attorneys after the arrest, which was the last straw. Kardashian actually learned about it via TMZ. Ouch. The estranged couple was spotted together on Saturday, but Odom was sent on his way afterward. Insiders say the future of their marriage is "grim" at best. We'll continue to keep readers apprised of this situation and continue to wish Lamar Odom all the best. Do you think they can make it work? Vote:
