Levi Gets Snubbed By Modeling Industry

Josh loposer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:00:00 GMT

What's Levi Johnston's career strategy -- beyond doing interviews about how he knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter? One of his vague aspirations is apparently to profit from his 15 minutes by becoming a model. So far, it looks like the modeling industry's taking a pass.

According to a CBS Early Show report, Levi's self-proclaimed career prospects go something like this: “He says that he will be an electrician like everyone else in his family, or maybe all this publicity will lead to a modeling or acting gig, which he is open to.”

While I could kinda see Levi doing some modeling work for the Bass Pro Shop catalog, it's hard to imagine him supporting himself and his baby Tripp with his acting skillz.

Of course, when Vanity Fair heard about Levi's opportunistic and quasi-ridiculous plan, they couldn't help themselves. They decided to contact some of top modeling agencies to see if they were interested in working with the infamous baby daddy.

Click Models
“We didn’t reach out to him. I guess he’s interested, but we weren’t,” said Stephanie Grill, director of Click’s men’s board.

DNA Model Management
“No one has reached out to him. He’s a good-looking guy, but not really a model type. No one would see him on the runway. He was ill-at-ease on Tyra Banks and I can’t see that changing drastically,” said Fred Howard of DNA public relations.

Ford Models
“No one in the Men’s Division has reached out. It wasn’t even brought up. I know every time I saw him during the elections, I never thought, ‘He should be a male model.’ It would be doubtful,” said Jesse Simon of the Ford men’s board, in New York.

Judge for "America's Next Top Model" Nigel Barker has a lot on his plate. Here he is in New York with 3-week-old daughter Jasmine, 3-year-old son Jack, and a friend. Nigel and wife Cristen Chin Barker, have been married 7 years.

Originally, Nigel (36) planned a career in medicine. But the fashion photographer says that his mom - former Miss Sri Lanka - entered him into a televised search for models. Nigel became a finalist on the show, and that started his big modeling career.

Jerry Hall Has Never Taken Drugs

Sassy Smith — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 17:09:00 GMT

Ex-wife of Mick Jagger, actress and model Jerry Hall, has never taken any illegal substances and rarely drinks. She's always wanted to be a positive role model for her four children.

Hall, who has four kids with Jagger - Elizabeth, 24, James, 23, Georgia, 16, and Gabriel, 10 - tells Celebs on Sunday:

"I've never taken drugs. And I've only been drunk twice in my life."

She continues, "As a parent I think the best thing you can do is teach them by example.

"In my life there have been times when drugs were all around me, but I never wanted to try them.

"They just seemed repulsive."

Jerry loves being a mom. "They're my greatest achievement. I just love spending time with them."

Were Kurt Cobain's Ashes Stolen for Artsy Smokeout?

trix — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:17:00 GMT

A German artist, Natascha Stellman, claims she has Kurt Cobain's ashes and is going to smoke them as a part of some sort of crazy art exhibit.
Huh? Why would she do that?
Natascha supposedly gained possession of Kurt's ashes from an unknown source and released a statement stating her plans to smoke the ashes in the Set Me Free exhibition on October 11th. She says that Kurt's ashes contain magic and that she is going to set him free.
Courtney Love says that the Kurt's ashes were never stolen, though in a previous report she claimed to be "suicidal" over the loss. “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. They were all I had left of my husband. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again.”
Poor Frances Bean, someone wants to smoke her dad's ashes and her mom is a mess. Will the drama ever end?

Cayden Costner Earns His Keep

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Here's a picture of Kevin and Christine Costner's 10-month-old son Cayden from Baby Couture magazine. As you can see little Cayden's modeling career is well under way. It won't be long before we're seeing him in his Calvins on a fifty-foot billboard on Times Square.

I'm not a huge fan of Kevin Costner (did his monotone ruin "Dances With Wolves" for anyone else but me?) But he sounds like a good dad. “I’m proud of Kevin as a father, and as my husband," Christine says. "He’s a hands-on dad, and spends a lot of time with Cayden. He has a softness that I love, and he has boyish play times where a wrestling match could take place. They have a nice balance.”

Awwwww. I take back what I said about his monotone.

Halle Berry's Baby Is "Fantastic Looking!"

Sassy Smith — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:03:00 GMT

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have been a couple since 2006 and gave birth to their daughter Nahla on March 16 of this year. So how did one of the best looking celebrity couples meet?

Donatella Versace - well known designer - is sorta responsible for the two getting together. She tells PEOPLE:

"Of course, I was at the [photo] shoot when they met. I know him [Gabriel - a model] very well. I pushed a little bit. I said, 'Why don't you go out together.' I said it in front of them. It went well at the shoot."

The photo shoot was in November of '05 - an ad for Versace - and that's where Halle and Gabriel first met. Donatella continues: "It was a moment when both of them were single. And they are both such nice people."

Although Versace hasn't actually met their infant yet she believes little Nahla is "fantastic looking."

"I cannot imagine a better looking baby than this one."

She's probably right! Can't wait to see photos of Nahla!

Little Dannielynn - Sole Heir To Anna Nicole's Estate

Sassy Smith — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:31:00 GMT

Sweet baby girl, Dannielynn - daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead - has been officially declared the sole heir to her mother's estate.

Anna's companion and attorney Howard K. Stern had been fighting to honor Anna Nicole's final wishes - her will was drawn up in 2001 - five years before the birth of Dannielynn.

The judge also established a trust in Dannielynn's name and has named Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead as co-trustees. The little girl could possibly inherit millions from the huge trust of her mom's late husband, billionaire J.Howard Marshall. That court case is still tied up in the legal system.

Halle Berry Gets A Ring From Her Man!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:06:00 GMT

Pregnant Halle Berry finally gets a shiny, pretty bauble from her man, Gabriel Aubry!

Berry's model boyfriend gave her an eternity ring costing $10,000. He's ready to show his commitment and she's ready to show hers by accepting it.

Halle, 41, has expressed her dislike for nuptials because she's got two failed marriages under her belt. She married baseball player David Justice in '92 and she later married singer Eric Benet in 2001.

The actress has previously said that she and Gabriel already think of themselves as a married couple and that they don't need a legal document to prove it.

An insider gushed about the ring: "It's gorgeous. The diamonds aren't huge but they are perfectly cut and sparkle. Gabriel gave Halle the ring to symbolize their commitment."

Halle and Gabriel's first baby is due in the next two months.
