All that traveling, and only a passing knowledge of world geography, apparently. Naomi — who started modeling at 15 — testified in front of a war crimes tribunal that she’d never heard of Liberia when she attended a 1997 dinner party (and unknowingly accepted blood diamonds) there. And smart little Coco on whom we’ve come [...]

Doutzen shoots for Tiffany’s
Here’s more campaign news: Doutzen Kroes is shooting ads (and a commercial?) for Tiffany & Co. in New York. She’s wearing a coat and standing in artificial snow (there’s also a little fir or Christmas tree in the background), so I’m assuming this will be a Christmastime ad, to coincide with Natalie Portman’s Dior commercials? [...]

Gemma plays a mermaid in Pirates 4
Remember when Australian model and former on-her-way to supermodel Gemma Ward was supposed to have a comeback, thanks to a starring role in the charming Black Balloon movie that was released in the U.S. last year? It didn’t happen. But 2011 could give this girl a second chance at her second big break: she’s playing [...]

Behati bemoans the model-slash
The model and best friend dream team of Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo have set me straight: forget the model-slash, it’s just called trying something new. On her blog (and Twitter) today, Coco revealed their latest portfolio of down-time talent and collaboration: Coco’s engagement pics…shot by Behati (see left.) Apparently Behati’s been working on her [...]

Agyness Deyn’s NAAG site makes me want to be Agyness!
A week or so ago Modelinia pointed me to Agnyess Deyn’s new online magazine/blog/creative space called NAAG. It’s awesome. Unlike Gwyneth’s GOOP, it’s of course more like Agnyess: silly, wonky, completely unpretentious and addictingly attractive. Simply organized into four categories — Beauty, Fashion, Places and Culture — NAAG’s editor-in-chief is nymag.com’s Fiona Byrne, while Aggy [...]

The Great Megan Fox-Rosie Huntinginton-Whiteley swap
Two weeks ago we found out about Victoria’s Secret and Burberry girl Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s move to the big screen, replacing Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes in the Transformers 3 film. And to complete the swap? Megan Fox is returning as the Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans model for Fall/Winter 2010-2011. So what other models [...]

The new model-slash
British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has had a pretty awesome couple of years, going from Burberry girl in 2008 to Victoria’s Secret model and now movie star in 2010. Rosie’s just been confirmed as Megan Fox’s replacement for Transformers 3. If I could buy my ticket now, I would.

Lara Stone got married!
She’s one of the most universally celebrated models of the moment, and she just got married last weekend. Tom Ford, Geri Halliwell, Elton John, Stephen Fry and Russell Brand were all in attendance at the ceremony at Claridges London. For photos, coverage and questions (and answers), I’m sending you here and here.

Karlie’s all grown up
Karlie’s been featured in editorials and ad campaigns styled more maturely than her young teen self, but this recent editorial in Paris’ Numero, photographed by Lachlan Bailey, takes her to the next level. View more shots on Next Model Management’s blog here.

Models as muses/designers: Stam and Rachel Roy
Here’s the only sneak peek we’ve got so far of Stam’s capsule collection with Rachel Roy. The line will be sold through Macy’s. Looks like lots of plaid, and most probably a few vintage rocker tees from Stam’s collection will also serve as inspiration. Can’t wait!
