Rose, who’s said to have enjoyed a passionate Queensland getaway a month ago with her rumoured squeeze, the “Bogan from Logan” Catherine McNeil, reveals inside that Miranda Kerr finds “confidence and humour” sexy in a partner.

“I think a good sense of Miranda Kerr humour is killer. Someone who is a little bit cheeky and I don’t like people that are too safe or perfect,” the now-bottle blonde tells the mag (on sale today).

An apt description of our Catherine, who recently gave Euro catwalks a swerve to party on Down Under. Some might say the supermodel belongs on the list in Rose’s place; alas her less-than-Ruby-like profile doesn’t have the shirt required “resonance” with readers, we’re told.

Incredibly, Gale nominates Carlton Football Club as “sexy”, as well as her “confident within himself” boyfriend Andy Lee of radio fame (so that’s how he does it . . .). Gale also wins first prize for pointing out the obvious: “You have to find your partner fashion dresses sexy, unless you abstain from sex! It’s necessary in order to have a great sexual rapport.” She said it. And Kerr doesn’t see someone “incredibly sexy” when she looks at her own pics.

Mila Kunis “ripped a piece of her neck off” while shooting ‘Forgetting Mila Kunis‘. The 26-year-old actress was left “gushing blood” after an accident on set, and now bears a prominent scar.

She told FOX News: “I’ve had so many injuries! I actually ripped out a little piece of my neck off in ‘Forgetting Mila Kunis‘. It happened when we were in the water. “Jason Segal is holding my neck. He’s holding it because I’m bleeding – you only see half my neck. The other side is gushing.”

Mila is not the only star to get injured on set recently. Rose McGowan had part of her elbow removed after she injured it men wear filming a stunt for new action film ‘Red Sonja’.

The former ‘Charmed’ star explained: “I had surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing model jobs stunts – I do a lot of my own stunts. “I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab.”

Critics soured somewhat on its more conventional soul sound, but Blige’s fans seemed undaunted. By the time Mary J. Blige next studio album, Mary, came out in 1999, the fullness and elegance of her new sound seemed more developed, as Blige exuded a classic soul style aided by material from Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Stevie Wonder, and Lauryn Hill. Mary made it obvious that the ghetto fabulous style and more confrontational aspects of her music were gone, while the emotive power still remained.

Mary Jane Blige (born January 11, 1971) is an six-time Grammy Award winning American R&B, soul, and hip hop soul singer, songwriter, occasional rapper, record producer, and actress who has sold over twenty one million records in the United State alone. Around the world she has sold ten million since Mary J. Blige career began in 1991. She is also widely known as the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul”, and Mary J. Blige earned over 23 Grammy Award nominations for her works. On July 28, 1992, Uptown Records released What’s the 411?.

“You Remind Me”, the album’s lead-off single, peaked at number twenty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number one on the R&B singles chart that summer. The second single, “Real Love”, was released in the fall. It too topped the R&B singles chart, and became Blige’s first top ten Hot 100 single—peaking at number seven. Both singles were also certified Gold. More What’s the 411? singles followed into 1993, including: “Reminisce”, a cover of Rufus’s “Sweet Thing”, and “Love No Limit.” By the end of the year, What’s the 411? had sold two million copies. Blige, meanwhile, was being christened as ‘The fashion Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.’ and released a Hip-Hop single around 1993, You Don’t Have to Worry (She later confessed that, at the time, she believed the title to be nothing more than a marketing tool.) The album’s success spun off What’s the 411? Remix, a remix album released in December that was used to extend the life of the What’s the 411? singles on the radio into 1994, as Blige recorded her followup album.

“Be Happy”, the album’s first single, peaked at number twenty-nine and number six on the Hot 100 and R&B singles chart respectively. In early 1995, it was followed up with a cover of Rose Royce’s 1976 hit “I’m Going Down.” Other My Life singles included: “You Bring Me Joy” and “I Love You.” Album tracks “Mary Jane (All Night Long)” and “My Life” also received heavy radio play, despite their never being officially released as single. My Life was eventually certified triple platinum. In spite of its success and her growing best dating fame, Blige later admitted that she was simultaneously dealing with long time bouts of drug addiction, alcoholism, and depression, as well as an abusive relationship with then-boyfriend K-Ci Hailey of Jodeci.

Year of the Gentleman was issued in September 2008, but not before another series of songwriting triumphs, including Rihanna’s “Take a Bow” and Jennifer Hudson’s “Spotlight.” He has also written for Marques Houston, Cassidy, Heather Headley, Mary J. Blige, Musiq Soulchild, Janet Jackson, and Leona Lewis.

Shaffer Chimere Smith (born on October 18, 1982 in Camden, Arkansas but raised in Las Vegas, Nevada) is an American R&B singer-songwriter. He is best known by his stage name, Ne-Yo. He is currently signed to Def Jam Records. He was previously best known for co-writing Mario’s 2004 number one hit “Let Me Love You” before he began a recording career of his own in 2005. Ne-Yo debut album, In My Own Words, was released in early 2006 and debuted at number one on The Billboard 200, selling 301,000 copies in the first week. During the same period, Ne-Yo’s second single “So Sick” (produced by Stargate) became the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Ne-Yo also wrote Rihanna’s Top 10 hit, “Unfaithful” and Mario Vazquez’s “Gallery”. Recently he was featured on Ghostface’s single “Back Like That”.

While still in high school, Ne-Yo joined a punk rock group named Envy, going by the stage-name GoGo. After the group disbanded in 2000, Ne-Yo had substantive success as a songwriter. He co-authored songs for artists such as Ruben Studdard, Marques Houston, Faith Evans, Christina Milian, B2K, Chris Brown, Nivea, Tyrese, Rihanna, Jamie Foxx and Heather Headley, and helped with the musical arrangement on the Teedra Moses debut Complex Simplicity. After getting out of a record deal with Columbia Records that saw no released material, Ne-Yo decided to remain as a songwriter. However, a close friend introduced him to L.A. Reid, who signed Ne-Yo on the spot to Def Jam Records. The singer’s nickname was given to him by a friend, Shawn Milligan, who stated that the singer could “see” music like Keanu Reeves’ character “Neo” could see the Matrix in The Matrix film trilogy. Ne-Yo added the “-Yo” to match rap culture. In the May 2006 edition of Vibe magazine, Ne-Yo revealed that he has a Chinese grandfather. Ne-Yo said that growing up, his father Wiley would abuse his mother. The singer also has a son named Chimere.

Recording career: Def Jam released “Stay”, featuring Peedi Crakk, as Ne-Yo’s debut single in 2005, and his debut album In My Own Words was released in February 2006. “Stay” was well-received by the urban community, reaching number 36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, but failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. The fashion week album’s second single, “So Sick”, was a larger success, reaching number one on the Hot 100 and the Pop 100, as well as the official UK chart. The singles “When You’re Mad” and “Sexy Love” were produced later and “Sexy Love” recently became a huge hit, peaking at number five in the UK, reaching Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles, 2 on the Hot 100 Airplay and Hot R&B/Rap Singles. To date, In My Own Words has sold one million copies in the US and over three million worldwide. “Stay” will be released as the third UK single from the album in October 2006.

More recently, Ne-Yo’s writing credits can be found on Jamie Foxx’s latest album, Unpredictable and Beyonca’s single “Irreplaceable”. He can also be heard singing the choruses to Ghostface’s lead single, “Back Like That”, from his fifth solo album Fishscale, and Remy Ma’s “Feels So Good” from her recently released album There’s Something About Remy: Based on a True Story. He also wrote Rihanna’s second single “Unfaithful” of her album A free date Girl Like Me and Mario Vasquez’s single “Gallery”. Ne-Yo is also featured on a remix of Busta Rhymes’ “Touch It”. Furthermore he is currently working on tracks with Mario, Jesse McCartney, Fantasia and Britney Spears and on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Steppin’ Up: Save the Last Dance 2, in which he will make an appearance. Ne-Yo has recently announced to Billboard.com starting work on his sophmore album due to release late 2007.

It may have taken Marisa Tomei a while to get back on her feet after her role in My Cousin Vinny and ensuing nasty gossip, but with recent roles in Slums of Beverly Hills and What Women Want, it seems that Marisa may finally be able to enjoy the consistent success that has eluded her since her first film role in 1984.

Marisa Tomei was born December 4, 1964 in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. Her birth was shortly followed by that of her brother, Adam, and the Tomei family moved to Manhattan, taking up a larger residence. Marisa Tomei mother Patricia, an English teacher, and father Gary, a trial lawyer, were both devoted to and greatly consumed by their professions, and frequently left their children in the care of their grandmother, Rita. By virtue of this arrangement, Marisa formed a strong bond with her grandmother, the woman who eventually had a hand in launching her acting career. As a child, Marisa’s sights were set on becoming an archaeologist, but these ambitions were quickly dispelled by her first trip to the theater, attending a Broadway production of A Chorus Line.

Twelve years old at the time, Marisa was swept with the notion of becoming an actor, an aspiration that proved more enduring than her former one. Her real fashion modeling breakthrough came in 1992, when she co-starred as Joe Pesci’s hilariously foul-mouthed girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny, a performance that won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Later that year, she turned up briefly as a snippy Mabel Normand in director Richard Attenborough’s mammoth biopic Chaplin, and was soon given her first starring role in Untamed Heart (1993). A subsequent starring role — and attempted makeover into Audrey Hepburn — in the romantic comedy Only You (1994) proved only moderately successful. Tomei’s other 1994 role as Michael Keaton’s hugely pregnant wife in The Paper was well-received, although the film as a whole was not.

Worse luck hit with her participation in the critically thrashed Four Rooms in 1995. Fortunately for Tomei, she was able to rebound somewhat the following year with a solid performance as a troubled single mother in Nick Cassavetes’ Unhook the Stars. She turned in a similarly strong work in Welcome to Sarajevo in 1997, and in 1998 did some of her best work in years as the sexually liberated, unhinged cousin of Natasha Lyonne’s Vivian Abramowitz in Tamara Jenkins’ The Slums of Beverly Hills. Appearing in no less than five fashion modeling movies in 2000, Tomei continued her journey back to the top with a memorable performance in 2001’s In the Bedroom. An emotionally wrenching tale of loss and grief, Tomei’s performance as a recently separated wife who begins a tragic affair with a college student struck a common cord with critics and filmgoers alike, in addition to earning the talented actress her second Oscar nomination.

Tomei’s versatility assured her continuous work in a variety of different kinds of date sites films. She played one of the women in the remake of Alfie, co-starred opposite Adam Sandler in Anger Management, and worked in the Charles Bukowski-inspired independent film Factotum. In 2007 she earned strong reviews for her work in Sidney Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, and appeared in the box office smash Wild Hogs. In 2008, Tomei enjoyed her largest critical acclaim since In the Bedroom thanks to her supporting turn opposite Mickey Rourke in The Wrestelr. Her performance earned her a number of year-end critics awards, as well as nominations from both the Golden Globes and the Academy.

Her moment of epiphany came when “I couldn’t walk another step without being exhausted, or having hair clumps photo gallery falling out.” She knew she needed to live in the body she was supposed to have — specifically a curvy size 12.

In a new memoir “Hungry,” Renn, now a mature modeling, exposes her struggles with weight, health and self-esteem, fueled by the industry she says she still loves. That is, she loves it now that she has been accepted — even embraced — by the fashion world.

“I got to my lowest point, when I couldn’t go lower, and it was either, ‘I’m going to die and not accomplish the dream,’ or, ‘I can become a fitness modeling and keep the dream,’ ” she said. “I am healthy now, the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life — both physically and mentally.

Writing “Hungry” with Marjorie Ingall for Simon & Schuster was an important part of the healing process, said Renn, 23. Renn’s agent, Gary Dakin, of New York’s Ford Models, which represents models photo gallery who are UK size 12 to 22, says that their novelty use is coming to an end. Instead they will be photographed for one simple reason: because they are beautiful.

“I have been in this business for 11 years and I have seen this debate ripple through the fashion world a number of times,” he said. “This time, though, the momentum of the healthcare debate feels different.” Style arbiter Stephen Bayley agrees. Bayley’s book, Women as Design, is published this week and looks at how definitions of female beauty have changed over the centuries. “In periods when we are impoverished, as now, there is a vogue for voluptuous women,” he said. ”

But designers are, slowly, beginning to agree that larger mature modeling have a role. Antonio Berardi has talked of the trouble he has finding girls with a womanly shape. “We have to spend days altering things,” he complained. “We add padding and pieces that work inside the clothes to exaggerate their bodies into a more female form. I don’t want all those girls with pale skin who look the same. My family is Italian – I am inspired by a womanly aesthetic.”

Roland Mouret agrees: “I see fitness modeling advertising going back to that powerful 1980s mentality, when girls like Linda [Evangelista] were ideal. Back in the 80s, when supermodels were several sizes larger than top models today, the clothes worked on bigger bodies,” he added. “They were bright, bold, curve-enhancing.”

They made a party of it Thursday on Lifetime, celebrating the actress return of “Project Runway” with a one hour episode that was mostly entertaining aside from the incessant commercial breaks.

Teen Model Modeling

To that it added a two hour special involving past contestants and an interesting new post-show called “Models of the Runway,” in which the women who heretofore just actress modeled the work of the “Project Runway” contestants now emerged as their own characters, cheering on (or razzing) their assigned designer, living together in a big house and eventually being catty about one another.

When their designer goes, they go too, so there’s that sense of weekly elimination drama that fuels so many reality talent agency shows. “Models of the Runway” serves as a better alternative to an “after-show” but fulfills some of those same needs:

The models all get to react to what had just happened on the mother show and its elimination and then fashion trends figure out how it will all impact them. (For this reason, you can’t watch “Models” before the actual show; it’d be like watching a post-show analysis before watching a game).

We also get to see a glimpse into the next fashion trends week’s show as the designers choose which models they’ll get to work with the next week (a trend already: those who succeed to the following week generally stick to the same girl — not out of superstition but because they’ve already gotten to know the body type and strengths). Best of all, it’s only a half hour, which I hope starts a new trend in reality shows.

The triple play meant not only the biggest season premiere for “Project Runway” in its history (which has heretofore been on Bravo), but it was also the biggest audience to date for everything fitness on Lifetime. Averaging more than 4.2 million total viewers, it was the highest rated compeittion reality series premiere on cable this year.

Which may make talent agency think of putting nine months before next season. But I doubt it.

The cover boasts the sort of mass appeal articles – “Stylish Steals and Smart Splurges” and “Fall Fashion Fun” – that have previously been anathema to the unapologetically actress elitist Miss Wintour during her two-decade reign.

Conde Nast, the publishing powerhouse that includes Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker actress among its stable of magazine heavyweights, has deployed the management consultants McKinsey & Co to conduct a root-and-branch review of operations in its swanky Times Square headquarters.

Actress Women Model Agency

The company has already axed receptionists, slashed the deliveries of fresh flowers that would clog the elevators each mature women morning and drastically cut back expense accounts – including the old practice of taking an advertising client for a manicure or pedicure.

There is little doubt that McKinsey will recommend much deeper cuts and job losses, although the New York Post reported on Friday that for the French fashion party shows, Miss Wintour will be staying at the Ritz in Paris as usual, with little expense spared for her entourage.

With less than three weeks before the start of New York Fashion Week, the model agency in the world fashion industry capital is grim. The event was once synonymous with extravagance, excess and self-congratulation, but now insiders are focused on simple commercial survival.

So the release of The September Issue, with its reminder of a now apparently halcyon epoch, so recent yet so remote, is providing some much-needed relief for the model agency industry. It might also offer some valuable ammunition for the bean-counters of McKinsey.

In one of the more memorable exchanges, the veteran creative director Grace Coddington laments that her boss has just discarded pictures from a photo shoot that cost $50,000.

“It was just me mouthing off, expressing my frustration,” Miss Coddington said before the premiere. “It was just so wasteful, throwing it away. Of course, if the work’s not good, it should be thrown out. That’s called editing. But I thought this was good.”

The September Issue begins with Miss Wintour looking into the mature women camera and pronouncing: “There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous.” As we see repeatedly during the 88-minute documentary, she can also make people very nervous too.

The chief designer for Yves Saint Laurent is left gibbering and gesturing desperately as she makes clear she is not impressed by his collection; a staff member looks close to tears when she derides her lack of originality; another fidgets nervously as she asks despairingly: “Where is the glamour? It’s Vogue, okay?”
