It has been announced that designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld is to shoot the 2011 Pirelli Calendar. Which makes me wonder if all the models will be extremely skinny models.
It’s no secret that Lagerfeld is all about the skinny models and doesn’t like normal or fat bodies, so I wonder if he will be able to get such sexy shots that Terry Richardson did on this years hot Pirelli Calendar or will it be all skin and bones.
Lagerfeld spoke backstage at his fashion show saying “I’ll do it in my studio in Paris. It’s too obvious to have a beach setting.†He also said that he is going to get all the “top models” and begin shooting the calendar as early as April.
I think all of Karl Lagerfeld‘s photos are beautiful but I don’t exactly want beautiful shots from the Pirelli Calendar, I would rather just have sexy models.

Victoria Beckham appeared on The View yesterday and gave her input on the whole fat/skinny model debate that has been going through the fashion world for the past couple of years.
While the model weight debate has been circulating for the last few years, it is only the past 8 months that it is really starting to make headlines worldwide. As a fashion designer and super skinny person herself, it was only natural and a matter of time before Victoria “weighed” in on the debate.
Posh Spice showed off her new collection just a few days during New York Fashion Week, in which she used a lot of thin models – one looked fatigue/famishing, to great reviews.
When the topic was brought up she said, “most of these girls are naturally thin, and I don’t think we should be discriminating against someone because they are too thin or too curvy or too large or whatever it is.”
Victoria said that she has signed on to a campaign by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, which is calling for industry people to be more responsible.
On this she said, “The CFDA have reached out to designers, stylists and casting directors not to work with underage models, girls that are too thin and to be more ethnically aware. And I think designers are listening. I had a casting last week and had some terribly thin girls come in and it wouldn’t have worked. The campaign the CFDA has launched is called Health Is Beauty, and they are definitely encouraging designers to work with healthier-sized models.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m all for using all sizes (although to be fair clothes would look better on a thinner, thin not anorexic, girl rather than someone that is a size 16) on the runway but at the same time I realize that designers basically want a walking hanger down the runway. The whole models weight debate is really starting to get tired, if there is going to be some rules then I wish somebody would just do it now and if not then I wish the debate would stop.
That said, I don’t think anybody should be looking at Victoria Beckham for what is acceptable when it comes to weight.

Do you remember who Brooke Hogan is? She is Hulk Hogan‘s daughter who is constantly trying to make herself relevant, well she has decided to a bikini photo for Life & Style magazine and it is hasn’t received a bit of retouching.
The reason she would let them publish photos of her that haven’t been untouched? She says that she has embraced she is never going to be a skinny bitch and photoshop sets a bad example.
She says “[Photoshopt] sets a bad example for what healthy is, I’m not a size 2 and probably never will be. That’s something I had to get out of my head a long time ago. I feel really confident and comfortable in my body. I feel feminine. I even like myself naked in the mirror! There’s always room for improvement, but I really do love my body.â€
Since doing this photoshoot and interview, Brooke and her boyfriend (unknown rapper) Stack$ have split up, her rep called up Life & Style to break the news that we all wanted to hear.
Janice Lee, a rep for the wannabe, said “Brooke Hogan and Stack$ have split but remain friends. He was a big part of her life for a very long time, and she still cares about him and his family dearly. Brooke would like to thank her fans for their kind words and sensitivity during the breakup.”
Brooke Hogan is so desperate for any kind of attention but what I will give her is that her body is kind of banging.

As we all know, when someone is trying to be politically correct they use the word “big” instead of saying what they really mean – “fat”. Well this is exactly what the New York Times have decided to call Christina Hendricks and used a distorted image to go with the article.
In their fashion reports for the Golden Globes red carpet on Sunday, a writer decided to call the Mad Men actress “big” while using the image above on the left which leads you to believe that Hendricks does look bigger than she actually does. The photo has since been replaced with the real photo on the right.
Cathy Horyn, a writer for the NY Times, is quoted as saying “Not pretty Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano’s exploding ruffle dress. (As one stylist said, “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one.â€)”
Another writer for the NY Times, Andy Port (another woman), wrote that Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox have all “put on a little weight.” She then ads that they have put on sexier curves.
What I find interesting here is that both of these writers are women hating on other women, jealousy maybe? Not one of these actresses are fat, I wish this whole fat/skinny debate would just go away already.

The other day I posted about Karl Lagerfeld causing a ton of fuss in the fashion industry after saying fat models don’t belong on the runway . Well now Ralph Lauren are causing the weight issue to hit the fan again after they fired a model for being too fat.
Ralph Lauren fired Filippa Hamilton after the picture above on the left cause outrage among people when it was used in Japan , the picture on the right is what she really looks like. I guess the fashion house didn’t listen to the people crying over the model looking way too skinny in the ad, because they fired her for looking too fat!
The 5’10″ and 123lbs model said “They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore, I was shocked to see that super skinny girl with my face, It’s very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that. I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology, I’m very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.”
The models lawyer, Geoffrey Menin, said the picture is a “gross distortion of how she really looks and which we fear will be extremely damaging to her.”
Ralph Lauren issued a statement saying that the 23-year-old model is a “beautiful and healthy woman but [our] relationship ended as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us. The image in question was mistakenly released and used in a department store in Japan and was not the approved image which ran in the U.S. We take full responsibility, this error has absolutely no connection to our relationship with Filippa Hamilton.”
Somebody needs to step in to this whole fashion industry and start making rules, it is getting out of control.

Fashion Week’s around the world happen twice a year, which means there is always debates as to what is too skinny and acceptable. Well as the title says, Karl Lagerfeld is giving his opinion and he doesn’t want “fat” women on the runway.
Just last week, German magazine Brigitte announced they were banning skinny models from their pages and replacing them with “real women,” Andreas Lebert who is the editor of the magazine said he and his staff were sick of photoshopping underweight models to make them look normal.
“For years we’ve had to use Photoshop to make these girls look fatter. Their thighs and their breasts have been the main problem. I think this is disturbing and perverse. What has it got to do with our normal readers?” Lebert said.
Focus asked Lagerfeld what his opinion on this were and the 71 year old designer, who is from Germany, said those who complain about skinny models are just “fat mummies” who don’t want to be reminded of their weight issues.
“These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly,” he also said that the Fashion world was all to do “with dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women”.
Lagerfeld himself had a major weight loss a couple of years ago after he wanted to fit into clothes that he said were made for young boys and not men his age.
Fellow designer John Ribbe says this debate has become ridiculous, “it’s just as much a cliché as saying that all models take drugs and get drunk at sex orgies, ninety per cent of them are quite normal, properly proportioned girls with less fat and more muscles, who also eat pizzas and burgers.”
What a crock of shit all of this is, remember Heidi Klum was accused of being fat ? This debate isn’t going to be over anytime soon. What are your thoughts?

I hope you’ve had your breakfast because this picture of Victoria Beckham almost made me throw up in my mouth.
This is Victoria greeting fans at the first American Idol Season 9 auditions in Denver on Friday, no she is not replacing Paula Abdul… she is just one of many judges who will take Paula’s place throughout the new season.
As for how she got on a source said “it didn’t go too well, She tried to hard to be ‘nice,’ but came off as icy and wooden.”
What else did they expect her to be like? By the way, Idol bosses paid Victoria Beckham over $250,000 for the one day of auditions.
Way too skinny.

At this point I am beginning to think Lindsay Lohan doesn’t even know what a bra is because any pictures I see of her, she isn’t wearing one – like in these ones.
Judging by her saggy boobs, maybe it is a good thing that she isn’t doing Peepshow in Las Vegas with Mel B.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Lindsay was rumored to star in the burlesque show with Scary Spice but it has since been denied by her rep, Leslie Sloane.
Yeah, Lindsay Lohan really needs to buy a bra.

Here is the photo of Mischa Barton nude that she took for the UK issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.
She tells the magazine, “surely there are more important issues than if someone has cellulite? And I don’t understand the point of people looking for bad things. Why bother? I know it’s human nature to want to pick on other people, but I find it a little shallow.”
I don’t really see what the big deal is to be honest and I myself wouldn’t class it as “nude.” You can’t even see anything, we have posted a lot more (and hotter) naked photos before but I figured some people would be into this photo of Mischa Barton.

As a top model, Kathy Ireland is used to seeing pictures of herself that have been retouched to hide her flaws. But when the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl saw a photo taken by her son as she baked cookies at the family’s Santa Barbara house recently, the raw image took her breath away.
“He said ‘Mom, you look pregnant. I didn’t recognize the person I saw. I saw someone who looked overwhelmed, overstressed, overweight, over-everything.”
In her latest book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms. Ireland talks about how mothers tend to put everybody else’s needs before their own. Case in point: she had put on 25 lbs. without even really realizing it.
“I was not making enough time to take care of me,” says Ireland, 46, a mother of three kids ranging in age from 6 to 14 and CEO of Kathy Ireland World Wide, a $1.4 billion design empire. She also runs a mentoring program for single teen mothers.
To get back on track, Ireland enlisted the help of a friend, who happens to be a personal trainer and nutritionist. Thanks to healthier food choices, including cutting down on snacking and desserts, plus three exercise sessions a week, Ireland says she’s almost back to where she feels her best.
Does that mean she wants to get back into a bikini?
“No, that’s not my goal. I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids.”
