Amber Heard Does Maxim

2009-03-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

I’ve been a fan of up and coming celebrity babe Amber Heard for a while now, so seeing her in a Maxim photoshoot is exactly what I needed this Monday morning. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of Maxim magazine’s steamiest set of pictures, but like I said, I dig Amber, and seeing her unleash some maximum cleavage is a-ok with me, and a good sign of things to come. Head over here for a little more Amber.

Mischa Barton Topless For Nylon Magazine

2009-03-08T08:36:00.000-07:00

Here’s Mischa Barton going topless for Nylon magazine’s August issue. Yes, I know she isn’t really topless, but technically she is, and you can see most of her breasts, so… topless it is. Whatever you want to call this no-bra-wearing photoshoot, you can’t deny that Mischa doesn’t look hot, which is surprising because I’ve never been attracted to her before. I guess all it takes is a pseudo-topless photoshoot to get my attention.

Cats or dogs? Definitely cats, I have 3.
Night in or night out? Night in, I'm not exactly rock n roll!
Spend or save? I think I've got a good mix of both.
Blonde or brunette? I've gotta say brunette all the way!
Heels or flats? Us girls love heels but flats are so much comfier, so flats!
Rock or Pop? Not really in to rock, I like soul and R&B music like Michael Jackson, Alexandra O'Neil, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey.
Dress up or dress down? It's nice to make the effort when you go out but I'm definitely a jeans and t-shirt girl.
Summer or Winter? I feel happier when the sun is shining, and when I have a tan! Having said that, I do love Christmas.
Gym or takeaway? Takeaway, I've been to the gym 3 times and got very bored!
Coffee or Tea? I love a cup of tea.
Boxers or briefs? I like a man in boxers, not a fan of the y-fronts!
Thong or big pants? I prefer little hotpant like shorts, but wear thongs too.
Sunbathe or sightsee? I think a bit of both makes the best holiday, you want to come home with a tan but baking in the sun can get a bit tedious after a while.

Lily Allen's in the pink again after her health scare

2008-11-05T08:46:00.000-08:00

Lily Allen looked in the pink again at the fashion industry's Oscars last night following the revelation that a heart murmur propelled her towards a dramatic weightloss.

The Smile singer wore a pink feathered designer gown to The British Fashion Awards, in London - where Stella McCartney took the top prize of Designer of the Year.

The newly-slimline Allen looked a picture of health in the stunning Giles Deacon gown, despite her recent revelation which revealed her new look was due to being diagnosed with a heart murmur.

Party pals: Lily and fellow party-girl Kelly Osbourne who was out for the second night in a row

Allen was joined by pal Kelly Osbourne at the star-studded event which saw Stella McCartney awarded the top prize of designer of the year at the annual British Fashion Awards.

It has been a bit of an annus horribilis for Stella McCartney but last night saw her luck decidedly change.

And the 36-year-old designer, whose third child is due early next year, was thrilled at being awarded the top prize at the annual awards.

Since launching her collection in 2001, McCartney has gone from strength to strength, carving out a real niche with sharp but feminine tailoring and nifty ways with a slip dress. She also launched her first beauty collection, Care, this summer.

Get Sophie's glamorous look

2008-11-05T08:41:00.000-08:00

This month, the British model launches her first novel, The Man With The Dancing Eyes, said to be based on her dalliance with Mick Jagger.

Sophie Dahl, 24, is single and divides her time between London and New York. She is the face of fashion house Pringle and shoe company Patrick Cox.

Errol keeps her hair classic, rather than fashionable. He recently cut layers into it and graduated the bottom to give it more body. A cut with Errol starts from £127.

Colourist Tracey Petterson gives Sophie's hair light-blonde tints (from £60). Among her haircare products, she has used the Charles Worthington Results range, available from Boots.

Health and fitness

Sophie was famous for being a voluptuous, larger-sized model, but has worked out vigorously with top fitness trainer David Marshall, known as The Body Doctor.

She is transformed from a size 16 to a size 8.

She follows a strict diet, but drinks alcohol at parties and has not been able to give up smoking.

Skincare and cosmetics

Sophie prides herself on her porcelain English rose complexion. When she has had too many late nights, she relies on Guerlain's Issima Midnight Secret Late Night Recovery Treatment (Â£29.50 for 15ml), nicknamed 'sleep in a bottle'.

She has visited celebrity facialist Eve Lom at her salon and been to the Elemis Day Spa in Mayfair for the Wellbeing massage.

Sophie uses the Elemis bodycare range at home, especially the Skin Nourishing Milk Bath (£35.50) and Exotic Lime and Ginger Salt Glow (£32.5).

She creates translucent skin using Urban Decay's 4-in-one Powder Foundation (Â£21). She favours pale pink glossy lips and uses Urban Decay's Lip Gunk (£8.50).

Fashion

As the face of Pringle for its spring/summer collection, Sophie likes its classic twinsets that start at Â£65 for the tanktop and £95 for the matching cardigan, which she wears in pastels.

She is always well-groomed, and even jeans are teamed with coats and smart jackets. For glamour, she turns to Versace. Daytime chic is by Joseph.

Shoes

At 6ft, Sophie does not need heels, but she is still partial to them. Advertising the Patrick Cox Wannabe collection, Sophie wears the 3in heels (from £110), available from the Sloane Street boutique, but she also wears their loafers when out shopping.

For glitzy parties, she finishes her outfits with spiky heels from Manolo Blahnik or Versace.

Fitness guru Carole knocks Cowell into shape

2008-11-05T08:40:00.000-08:00

He grooms wannabes into pop stars. She simply grooms. As one of the country's best known style consultants, Carole Caplin probably didn't have to audition for her latest project.

The woman who helps Cherie Blair with everything from gym training to fashion has been recruited as Simon Cowell's fitness guru.

The 45-year-old millionaire record producer behind The X-Factor TV pop contest apparently wants to tone up a little.

So far Miss Caplin - who accompanies Mrs Blair on her weekly gym visits - has helped him lose more than a stone.

Cowell, who favours high-waisted trousers and tight t-shirts, has also been given some tips on his wardrobe.

If his adviser's taste is anything to go by, he could soon be swopping his favourite black for rosier hues.

Miss Caplin, 42, dressed entirely in pink when she met Cowell and his friend, the model Jackie St Clair, for dinner in Mayfair.

Cowell is said to be working on five new television projects, including a gameshow based on big-money gambling.

He said he decided to lose weight after seeing himself on TV. "I took a look at myself on telly one day and thought 'I just look too damn fat' so I went about doing something about it. I just cut right back, don't eat puddings now and just generally do more exercise.

"When I went to Barbados over New Year I felt fine about taking my top off for the first time."

Penny's best beauty secrets

2008-11-05T08:31:00.000-08:00

"Although I have good genes to thank for my physique, I am certain that if I didn't work so hard to maintain my figure, things would have started sagging by now. However much we might wish for quick-fix ways to get in shape, there's no getting round the reality that if you want to look good it's a question of putting down your fork and getting off your backside.

At school I towered over both boys and girls and was dreadfully skinny. I hated my 36in legs - now my major asset - and would wear three pairs of thick tights to lend them bulk.

My mother told me to be proud of my stature and walk tall, but it was only when I was approached by a modelling agency in my early 20s that I began to feel confident about the way I looked.

I hail from a sporty family and I'm very grateful for that because exercise - even more than diet - is the key to a youthful appearance.

My father has always been into weight training and my brother Oliver, now 30, works as a fitness instructor. In my teens I would accompany my mother to the gym and I swam for Essex. From the age of six I had tap, ballet and modern dance classes with a view to turning professional.

Unfortunately, by the age of 16, it was obvious my height was going to be a problem, so I stopped dancing and took up aerobics. I enjoyed it so much I considered it as a career. At 22, I took the YMCA Teachers Training Exercise to Music qualification. Looking to the future, I'd like to open a fitness centre with my brother.

Luckily, exercise for me has always been more pleasure than chore. It releases natural endorphins to lift your spirits and can help you lose weight or tone up. If I go without exercising for a couple of days I literally feel the blues descending. Even though Rod and I are constantly travelling, we always try to exercise.

I aim to stave old age off for as long as possible by keeping fit and Rod feels the same way. We don't need a gym - we are happy running or doing circuit training in the local park, and using a bench for step-ups.

I know many would consider me to have a perfect model figure, but at 6ft 1in and 10 stone, I'm considered too 'big' for the catwalk.

I've always been of the opinion, though, that you should work with what nature gave you. I'd rather be toned and athletic-looking and make a career from modelling lingerie, hosiery and sportswear than starve myself just to be able to do shows.

Of course, there are still some things I'd like to change about myself - for example, I have ugly feet. My toes are all bunched up from years of ballet, but I've learnt to accept them and now bare them in strappy heels.

For the most part, I feel comfortable with myself, which I think is in no small part due to being in a loving and supportive relationship. Rod finds me sexy and that makes me feel great. What other people think about me is really not important.

I would never change myself physically for a man, although I have been known to change from trousers to a skirt for Rod because he likes my legs. I haven't really thought about plastic surgery because I'm still only 32, but it is at odds with my attitude to healthy living.

You should never say never, but it should only ever be a last resort - that is, when you've exhausted every natural avenue of self-improvement. The problem is where you draw the line once you start having nips and tucks. Eating healthily is a good way to combat bad habits which might age you. If Rod and I have had a blow-out meal, we'll make sure we're good the next day. We try to have three light meals a day.

It might be fruit and cereal for breakfast, then a salad for lunch with nuts, seeds and flax oil as a dressing. I don't eat much red meat, so dinner will be chicken or fish with fresh vegetables.

One great tip to slim down quickly is, for four or five days before a big event, to cut out alcohol, salt and refined foods such as sugar and white flour, as well as carbohydrates. I never crash diet, but that will help reduce bloating. I drink at least three litres of water a day, and moisturise and exfoliate regularly.

Sometimes I get Rod to scrub my back with a loofah to help detox. My secret for smooth, shiny legs is mixing Nivea with almond oil and some Revlon tanning cream. It creates a fantastic glow. Whatever I may do cosmetically, however, I know that the secret to looking good starts on the inside - and that means getting your muscles and heart going through exercise.

My video works every muscle group and most of it is low-impact aerobics - the best way to lose weight and suitable for all fitness levels.

The best way to get results is to exercise three or four times a week for 30 to 40 minutes. But if you want to look slim for the new year, don't wait until the Christmas bingeing is done. Think damage limitation - then you can eat and drink yourself silly without worrying.

Janice Battersby Becomes Unlikely Fitness Guru

2008-11-05T08:17:00.000-08:00

Coronation Street bigmouth Janice Battersby has become Britain's unlikeliest exercise guru after topping the fitness DVD charts.

Actress Vicky Entwistle, who plays Janice in the ITV1 soap, is outselling nearest rival Jade Goody by three to one at Tesco.

She made her Weight Off Workout DVD after shedding two-and-a-half stone on a diet and fitness programme - dropping from a size 16 to a tiny size six.

Tesco spokeswoman Gemma Kirkham said: "British dieters are going crazy for Vicky's fitness DVD, which is streets ahead of the rest of the pack.

"Vicky appeals to ordinary people because of her fantastic weight loss recently. And because of her down-to-earth role in Coronation Street she's far more believable than skinny model types who used to bring out fitness DVDs."

Entwistle, 38, was spurred on to lose weight after seeing an unflattering paparazzi photograph of herself on the beach in Barbados. She turned to Jordan's personal trainer Richard Callender for help.

After embarking on an exercise regime and cutting out crisps, biscuits and take-aways, she lost two-and-a-half stone in just three months.

"I'm absolutely gobsmacked how much I've lost," she said. "My whole outlook has changed. I feel so much healthier and it's great to be able to buy nice clothes. I feel like a different person.

"I was always the fat ugly one from Corrie - but not any more."

Also doing well in the DVD stakes is former Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus. The singer is sixth in the Tesco chart with her diet and fitness plan.

Once weighing in at 23 stone, she has lost 10 stone thanks to health eating guru Gillian McKeith.

Other celebrities in the New Year chart include former Brookside star Jennifer Ellison, Fat Friends actress Gaynor Faye and singer-turned-Coronation Street barmaid Kym Ryder.

"During January, fitness DVDs are so popular they even outsell many Hollywood blockbuster films as people who piled on the pounds over Christmas feel too ashamed to show off their bellies in the gym and prefer to exercise at home," said Kirkham.

"There has been a huge increase in fitness DVD titles this year, with even minor celebrities getting in on the act."

Top Fitness Guru

2008-11-05T08:15:00.000-08:00

She claims she has dropped two dress sizes after splitting from her boyfriend Seb Chew.

But sources say the real reason behind Lily Allen's recent weight loss: she is paranoid over her "chunky" thighs, ankles and rear and has been mortified by magazine articles picking up on her larger lower half.

Her new management team have sent her to "Body Doctor" David Marshall in Primrose Hill, who has been giving her intensive diet and training sessions to help her tone her legs.

The fitness guru, who is famous for bringing model Sophie Dahl from a size 18 to a 12, has put Lily on his six-week one-on-one course.

And the results are not just showing on her lower half - the 22-year-old is also noticibly thinner in the arms and face.

The singer has cut out sugar and wheat, and is on a diet of fish, lean meats and steamed vegetables.

On top of this, she has to drink a special juice of ginger, beetroot, carrot, apple and celery, as well as concentrated artichoke and celery juice tonics three times a day.

Marshall - who can also boast Ant and Dec, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand among his clients - is not known for mincing his words, and his training sessions with feisty Lily often turn the air blue.

A source says: "He pushes people very, very hard. He'll shout at her, 'Come on Lily, one more', and Lily will scream back 'F**k off you b*****d!'

"She is very conscious about how her figure is portrayed in the media, and is paranoid about her chunky bottom half.

"It was her new management team that recommended David, and they were keen for her to get back into shape. She has been working out every other day, with particularly gruelling exercises to get rid of her 'cankles' ? where her calves join her ankles.

"David makes her do controlled weight training, doing 25 reps with a heavy weight. It's pretty agonising, but Lily keeps coming back for more. She is four weeks into her six-week course, and has already dropped two dress sizes."

There's not an MMA fan out there who doesn't know the name Rachelle Leah—and with good reason. The former Men's Fitness cover model began modeling at the age of 16 and has gone on to appear in a number of magazines and TV shows.

And now, you'll find the sexy host of Spike TV's UFC: All Access show burning up the pages of Playboy's November issue. Though she's appeared in the magazine once before as a clothed "Babe of the Month," this is her first nude spread.

Score with Ashley Russell

2008-10-20T09:03:00.000-07:00

Have you always been interested in fantasy sports?
Most women are very intimidated by [fantasy sports], but a friend of mine, who's been playing for 10 years, was like, "You have got to do this." So I got a group of girls together; some were former models who were my friends. We signed up for a fantasy football league and did a draft at my house-last year was my first year playing, this is my second year-and I could not get over how addictive it was. I made cheat sheets for the girls as well, thinking, 'They're not going to be paying a lot of attention.' Turns out, we were all out for blood. There were catfights. I'm still not talking to one of the girls. It was insane. I think girls can be even worse than guys. Guys can brush it off and say, 'Dude, that's not right' and then they're over it. Women are a different story.

Most guys would never guess that women could be that hardcore when it comes to fantasy sports.
With the smack talk going on, the catfights, the draft night - I thought some girls were going to have to go at it outside. I'm probably exaggerating a little, but not much. It became so competitive and I think women-especially if they're playing against guys-are going to be even more competitive because they've got more to prove.

If women started to dominate a fantasy football league, would guys be intimidated or impressed?
Oh, intimidated-absolutely. Guys want to keep thinking that this is their game. The truth is, it's not anymore.

Do men find it easier to approach women who are interested in sports?
One time, these guys were so intimidated to come to our table because they saw my girlfriend and I wearing jerseys and yelling at the TV screen. They were like, 'Whoa! What's going on over here?' But this is a whole new turn-on for men: women who can hold their own in a conversation about sports. My friends and I have gotten marriage proposals because of it! Another friend said that it was the best thing that happened to her relationship with her boyfriend. Now, she will get in the car and listen to sports talk radio on long trips.

How can a guy get his girlfriend interested in sports?
Some guys join 10 different leagues. I think it would be nice if they would ask their girlfriends to participate. Show her the ins and outs. Honestly, it does open up the conversation in a relationship. And how many relationships fail because the guy wants to be in front of the TV every Sunday and Saturday, and the girl wants to do something else? So my advice: guys need to encourage their women to get involved - that way you have less to be nagged about. It's a good move on their part.

What are the things you look for in a guy?
Oh, the question of the day. When it comes to sports, I would, of course, love it if a guy can hold his own in a conversation. If he likes to go to football games-if he likes Big 10 basketball, even better. If men can be really loyal to a team-if he's a huge Yankees fan or whatever-that carries a lot of weight in life too. That might mean that he's a pretty honest and loyal guy. Some of my best guy friends are die-hard fans of whatever team, and they tend to be good guys. That carries over to relationships...if you show some loyalty, then you might get it back.

2008-10-20T08:26:00.000-07:00

How do you stay in such great shape?
Edith: I watch what I eat and work out at least 4 times a week.

Do you have any sports you play when you're not working out?
I like rollerblading in the summer and scuba-diving when I get a chance. I am also thinking of taking up Muay-thai boxing.

How do you motivate yourself to go to the gym?
It's easy. Knowing I have to get up in front of millions of UFC fans worldwide in a revealing outfit is motivation enough, but I would train regardless because I like to feel fit and take care of myself.

What's the most excited aspect of being an Octagon girl?
Having a front-row seat to the most exciting sport ever—MMA.

Have you met a lot of celebrities since becoming an Octagon girl?
Being a huge UFC fan , the chance to meet all the UFC fighters in person is a real thrill of a lifetime. All the guys are really friendly (outside of the Octagon) and I am really happy that I have had a chance to get to know George St-Pierre. He's a great guy.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?
I have a sweet-tooth, especially for chocolate desserts—but I never indulge more than once a week.

What's the first physical characteristic you notice in a guy?
Hmm . . . hard to decide. There's not one thing in particular. I'll notice a guy who is the complete package. Fit, but not too buff.

You're originally from Canada. What's the biggest difference between American guys and Canadian guys?
American guys are more intense and Canadian guys seem to be more laid-back.

How can a guy win you over?
I know its cliché but he has to be a gentleman and he has to be able to make me laugh.

Would you ever date a fighter? Why or why not?
I think it would be too hard for me to watch my boyfriend or husband take punches and kicks . . . even the winners get hit.

Do you have a favorite song you workout to?
I like to listen to house music when I work-out.

What's your favorite movie? Why?
The Notebook. Because I adore love stories—especially the ones that make you cry.

Would you ever fight? If so, who would you most want to step into the Octagon with?
I am not thinking of starting a career as an MMA fighter anytime soon if that's what your asking, but if you hurt anyone in my family or that I love, I'll drag you into that Octagon so fast your head will spin.

Your Octagon Girl profile says you enjoy skydiving. How many times have you jumped?
Three times so far. I can't wait to go again. I love the adrenaline rush.

What is it like to jump out of an airplane?
Kinda like jumping out of a tree, but a lot higher. Just kidding. You gotta try it to know.

Your bio says that you want a career in real estate. Where would you build your dream house and why?
I would have a small home in the Bahamas for the winters and spend my summers in Montreal. Its a crazy fun city in the summer with all the festivals and the night-life, and all my friends are family are here.

Tell me three things that not too many people know about you.
1) I'm a great listener.
2) I love animals, especially my little Yorkshire, Chico.
3) Although I would never do it in front of people because I am a lady and have manners, I can burp really, really loud when I am alone.

The Business Of Fitness Modeling

2008-10-05T08:58:00.000-07:00

Question: Which former fitness model was selected to host a televised comedy show?

(You can find the answer at the end of this article.)

Not everyone agrees with the adage, "If you've got it, flaunt it." But, for those who have spent the time and energy to get their bodies into rock-hard shape, fitness modeling provides the occasion to strut their stuff and collect some green.

Flip through the pages of fitness magazines and it's not altogether difficult to find pictures of toned men and sensational women. Today, we'll examine what's needed to get into this seemingly glamorous business of fitness modeling, how much money is available, and who the superstars are.

Breaking into fitness modeling

For some people, bodybuilding competitions can be a springboard into the world of fitness modeling. A person desiring to enter the field will encounter a virtual who's who in the industry at one of these contests, as publishers, supplement company owners, and many other business people are in attendance. It's basically like going to a trade show.

Winning, however, doesn't guarantee success because the person taking home first prize may not have the qualities that a particular publisher is looking for. As in Hollywood, some fitness models just have "the look" and some don't.

Will Brink, author of Body Building Revealed and Fat Loss Revealed, advises prospective fitness models to network -- they should attend trade shows armed with business cards and high-quality photographs. Brink says that hopefuls should also look at the credits in fitness magazines, collect the names of publishers and editors, and send pictures directly to them.

In addition to being proactive, Brink says aspiring fitness models need to be aware of and steer clear of con artists. As the saying goes, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Fitness models should be wary of anyone who offers to build a website for them at no cost. He says these deals can wind up in webmasters who pilfer the money that the site makes or they may post the pictures on porn sites. Another potential pitfall is photographers who offer to take pictures of models, yet are doing this as a hobby. Check references before hiring or signing on any dotted line.

At the start of her career, Candy Keane got hooked up with an agent of questionable quality. She paid, in her view, a great deal of money to an agency to land one job -- a $10 per hour gig as a promo model for Cadillac.

How much money can fitness models make?

If someone is looking at fitness modeling as a way to get rich quick, that person is likely to become very disappointed. That's because, according to industry experts, it's very tough to make a living from gracing the pages of fitness mags. Only a select few have done that successfully. Photographer Bill Dobbins goes far enough to say that there's really no such job as a professional fitness model.

"There are simply a lot of women who get photographs published in magazines, a few who get hired for individual jobs to do advertising or appear at booths in expos, and only a very few who actually make a living doing this kind of work," Dobbins says on his website. "It pays to remember that there is a big difference between a career and just a series of jobs."

Kim Lyons, a cover model for Muscle & Fitness Hers, agrees with Dobbins, sharing her views in that publication.

"Many models take jobs just for publicity," she said. "Even top magazines pay only an average $150 to $300 for a layout, and it takes as much as a 14-hour day to pose for that layout. When I modeled for clothing lines, sometimes I accepted free clothes as payment."

Peggy McIntaggart

2008-10-04T10:37:00.000-07:00

A native of Penetanguishene, Ontario, this sumptuous small-town girl hit the big-time in January 1990 when she was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Month. Peggy McIntaggart promptly parlayed her notoriety into a thriving acting career with appearances in the films Lady Avenger, Into the Night and Beverly Hills Cops II, as well as an obligatory gravity-defying appearance in an episode of Baywatch. Her turn-ons include cleanliness, children, animals, and white roses, and her turnoffs are cigarettes, dirty houses, traffic, dishonesty, and judgmental people. Hopefully, you won’t judge Peggy for her views about sex. “Sex is 95% in the head,” she says. “If I find a man who's open-minded, clean and in touch with his feminine side, there's no doubt we'd have mind-blowing sex regardless of his looks.”

Kimberley Stanfield

2008-10-04T10:25:00.000-07:00

A graduate of Lord Byng Secondary School in Vancouver, BC, Kimberley Stanfield vaulted to international stardom in July 2001 when she was selected as Playboy’s Playmate of the Month. This Canadian Playmate has since appeared in a number of Playboy videos, although she insists that modeling isn’t her only career ambition. “My ultimate goal is to become an elementary school teacher,” she says. “I love working with kids.” Kimberley Stanfield’s turn-ons include genuinely nice people who are honest and true to themselves, and her turnoffs are rude and phony people with superior attitudes. “Everyone is equal in my eyes,” she says. Hey, it looks like you have a shot with her after all.

We’re not sure which is more impressive: the fact that Brooke Berry is the niece of Jan & Dean rocker Jan Berry or the fact that Jan is the uncle of Brooke. Either way, it’s clear that fame -- and striking good looks -- run in the family, as evidenced by Brooke Berry’s sizzling pictorial in the May 2000 issue of Playboy. This gorgeous Canadian Playmate has since appeared in several red-hot Playboy videos, including Wet & Wild: Slippery When Wet and the equally alluring Playmates on the Catwalk. Her turn-ons include intelligence, confidence and humour, and her turnoffs are arrogant, vain and selfish people. She also hates bad breath and body odour, so don’t forget to bring along your Tic Tacs and Speed Stick.

Transgender Contestant to Compete on Top Model

2008-09-19T08:24:00.000-07:00

One of the 14 girls who will compete on the new season of America's Next Top Model – which returns to The CW on September 3 – is transgender.

"My cards were dealt differently," Isis, a 22-year-old former receptionist, tells Us Weekly exclusively in its new issue, on newsstands now.

Hailing from Prince George's County, Maryland, Isis identifies herself as "a woman born physically male."

Will she be a role model?

"I like to help people, but I'm here to follow my dreams," she tells Us.

The inclusion of Isis is being hailed by GLAAD president Neil Giuliano as "an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.

"We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible," Giuliano said.

America's Next Top Model features hot tranny mess

2008-09-11T06:44:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentleman, the inevitable has happened — Tyra Banks has lost her freaking mind.

No, I’m not talking about the horrendous crimped hairstyle she recently wore to celebrate Vogue Italia’s first all-black model issue.

I’m not even referencing the recent reports that she kept an audience for her talk show waiting for two hours while she gabbed with stagehands around the snack table backstage.

I’m talking about Isis, Banks’ newest headline-snagging protégé.

Fourteen contestants are taking part in Cycle 11 of “America’s Next Top Model,” but only one of those 14 has the distinction of being born a man.

The 22-year-old aspiring model and Maryland native told Us Weekly that she is a woman who was born a male.

Now, I understand everyone is different — and transgendered persons have just as much right to be America’s next top model as anyone else.

But I personally find it a little hard to believe that Isis is more qualified to strut her stuff down the runway than the thousands of actual women she beat out for the part — including a bevy of Baton Rouge beauties when auditions were held in our fair city.

Which leads me to my next question — Is Isis pre-op or post-op?

She is tall, thin and leggy with boyish good looks that could lead to either conclusion.

Perhaps this is the final push in the campaign started by Twiggy in the 1960s and revived by Kate Moss in the 1990s of having runway models with the figures of 13-year-old boys.

Instead of having high-strung cocaine addicts who puke after meals as role models, young girls can idolize the bodies of modern- day eunuchs.

Perhaps Isis’ inherent testosterone will make her less of a cat-fighting attention whore than the other divas in training.

If Banks, the CW and co. want something to talk about, why not just allow men to participate in the show? Then Isis could stand and deliver without the surgery.

Do men want to be snipped at by noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker and runway diva extraordinaire Miss J. Alexander so badly that they’ll go to excruciating lengths to reach their goal? Are they aching for face time with Paulina Porizkova so hard that they’re willing to castrate themselves?

I wonder how Isis’ past will influence her performance on the show.

The ANTM judges have always expressed their love of androgyny in contestants like Cycle 5’s Kim. But what about Kim’s fellow castmate Coryn, who was frequently chastised for being too masculine?

I wonder if such comments directed at Isis would be considered offensive.

If this was a true attempt to be open-minded and progressive, I would applaud the ANTM team. But I call a spade a spade, and shameless plays for ratings make me reach for my Daily Reveille-issued shovel.

Plus-sized models are old news. We’ve seen scores of confrontational contestants. We’ve had race issues out the wazoo. There was even a lesbian hook up in Cycle 5. Now we’ve reached the final frontier of edgy reality TV.

Can a woman — born a man, but now a woman — make it as a top model?

This must herald the final chapter of “America’s Next Top Model.” How do they top this? Lizard people?

ANTM has a rich and diverse history of capitalizing on the differences of one girl each season.

Cycle 3 winner Eva was short – for a model.

Cycle 5 contestant Kim was a lesbian and Cycle 10 winner Whitney was plus sized.

They even had Heather — a contestant with Asperger’s Syndrome — on Cycle 9.

Banks recaps the chosen sob story at the front of every episode in an effort to strengthen the contestant’s emotional chokehold on the audience.

And honestly, if Isis is cool with being exploited who am I to contradict her? I’m sure this is the big throbbing break she’s been waiting for all her young life.

Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation president Neil Giuliano told Us Weekly this is “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television.”

I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Giuliano.

Is he completely disregarding the character of Mrs. Garrison on South Park?

Besides, no one encompasses the phrase “hot tranny mess” better than Tyra Banks — and I see her on TV every day.

Stomach Exercises for Women

2008-09-06T22:51:00.000-07:00

Many women are in search to get that flat and sexy stomach, getting rid of all the fat and revealing the sexy stomach underneath.

Stomach exercises for women are slightly different than mens becuase women want a flat and toned stomach while men are in search to build more muscle and getting rock hard six packs.

Also, the fat in woman’s bodies is distributed differently than men so it is important that women find a guide to stomach exercises designed for women.

The best example we have found and review is by fitness expert and model Jennifer Nicole Lee. She is by far on of the top motivations for women and she offers her unique stomach exercises for women in her fitness program: How to Look Like a Fitness Model, Without Being One.

Not only was Jennifer Nicole Lee invited to Operah and Inside Edition, she is also featured in many fitness magazines becuase she lost over 70 pounds! While still being a great mother to her 2 children.

I really recommend you purchase Jennifer Nicole Lee’s Fitness program, but do you really need to buy it? The honest is answer is no, you don’t need to but you will really get ahead and closer to your goal if you do.

Here is an example I use often, say for example your computer brakes down. You know nothing about computer repair, so would you tamper with the computer and risk harming your computer more or would you call an expert that know how to repair computers?

The smart choice is to call on someone who knows about repairing computer right? Same goes with stomach exercises for women. If you are not a fitness expert or nutritionist than why go about trying to get a flat tummy on your own?

Best of all Jennifer Nicole Lee isn’t just another fitness guru out to make money, she understand how women feel, how it is like to hide under baggy clothes and envy fitness models in magazines. After giving birth to 2 children she was weighing for 200 pounds!

Not only do you get an audio with motivation but you get her secret to how she lost over 70 pounds while having a busy schedule and caring for her children. She knows that women can have a busy schedule and her program works around your schedule even if you think you don’t have time for exercising.

Don’t waste money on expensive machines, don’t waste money on gym memberships, don’t wast money on “healthy foods”. Learn how to get the sexy body you’ve always wanted and start buying the clothes you want to wear!

Dr. Joe DeMarco

2008-08-10T03:57:00.000-07:00

At Lift for Life, we take pride in featuring exceptional athletes who have not only achieved success in their competitive fields, but athletes who embody a higher standard of self discipline, athletes who are actively involved in helping others, athletes who lead by example. This month, our featured bodybuilding model of the month is no exception.

Dr. Joe DeMarco is a well rounded athlete with a successful competitive career in Gymnastics, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Bodybuilding. Complementing this physical resume however is the fact that the peak of Joe DeMarco's bodybuilding accomplishments have occurred after the age of 40 when most people are beginning to slip into low drive, and the fact the Dr. Joe is a VEGAN, eating no animal products. A physique of this caliber on a strict vegan diet takes exceptional discipline but Dr. Joe would have it no other way.

"I also love the personal discipline that is needed for the sport"

LT (Lemuel) Thomas

2008-08-10T03:53:00.000-07:00

Some people are recreational athletes, occasionally playing sports to stay active or just have something to do. Others are more competitive, pushing themselves to the limit to see what they are truly capable of. Others still not only live the fitness lifestyle, they believe in it strongly enough to preach it with evangelistic fervor. Our current Bodybuilding Model of the Month LT (Lemuel) Thomas is a believer. LT admits that he has been involved in sports nearly all of his life, but his true passion is helping others to create their own fitness lifestyle.

"Fitness is my passion. I love seeing people improve their quality of life. I have a strong desire to help other reach their goals. I want to continue to change lives and be a health and fitness role model."

With a physique as feline as any jungle cat, confident piercing eyes that give no hint of weakness and enough charisma to overcome any obstacle, Lift for Life Model of the Month Amelia Powers looks like she just walked out of a James Bond movie.

No stranger to fitness, Amelia has been competing since the age of 16 in her native Peru where she claimed the title of Miss Fitness Peru nine times. An athlete from her youth, Amelia began weight training early which concerned her mother who feared that she would become "big". Predicting her own future, Amelia assured her mother that being fit was a part of her life and that she would always stay feminine.

Shannon Tweed

2008-08-06T20:56:00.000-07:00

The career of this Playboy Playmate of the Year for 1982 indeed has consisted of many erotic or quickie action films often released direct-to-video. Nevertheless, the statuesque blonde former model has moved into more mainstream vehicles, particularly in the 1990s, even appearing on allegedly substantive TV series such as "Frasier" and "Wings". A cool yet soulful performer, Shannon Tweed has also starred in the cult classic "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1989), and opposite Andrew Stevens and Marc Singer in numerous soft-core thrillers....

Jennifer Connelly

2008-08-06T20:41:00.000-07:00

This fresh-faced former child model made her film debut at age 12, seen in flashbacks as the young incarnation of Elizabeth McGovern's character in Sergio Leone's gangster epic "Once Upon a Time in America" (1984). Horror cultists may remember her as the girl who has a peculiar relationship with the insect world in Dario Argento's Italian fear opus "Creepers" (1985).

Jennifer Connelly subsequently was featured in mostly forgettable teen fare, with the possible exception of Jim Henson's "Labyrinth" (1986), in which she was overshadowed by David Bowie and a cast of Henson creatures....

Fair Julia Is Queen of Hollywood

2008-07-12T22:40:00.000-07:00

Who’s the fairest of them all? According to Industry analyst James Ulmer, it’s the Pretty Woman with the (sometimes) long, curly red locks. A Georgia peach by the name of Julia Fiona Roberts tops Ulmer’s Y2K list of the 200 hottest actors and actresses in show business. His roster is due out in book form, titled "James Ulmer’s Hollywood Hot List: The Complete Guide to Star Power," in the fall.

The only other woman to crack the Top 20 is the recently single Meg Ryan, who clocks in at No. 8.

Occupying the No. 2 through No. 7 spots between Roberts and Ryan are Hollywood heavy-hitters Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, John Travolta and Brad Pitt. Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith round out the Top 10.

Among Ulmer’s criteria in determining the Hot List are bankability, professionalism, willingness to travel and promote, acting talent, acting range and career management.

And who’s at the bottom of Ulmer’s list?

Helena Bonham Carter is No. 191, followed by Halle Berry, Jean Reno, Vince Vaughan, Andy Garcia, Elisabeth Shue, Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McKellen and Steven Seagal.

Hot, hot, hot, indeed.

"Sex" star and scandal come to Harvard

2008-07-12T22:32:00.000-07:00

Harvard's theater department is simultaneously celebrating and sighing.

The Hasty Pudding Club--the oldest undergraduate theater organization in the country--hailed Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker as its woman of the year Thursday at Harvard, hot on the heels of an embarrassing grand larceny charge brought against two of its members on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Pudding members were ready for both, though, as their president Greg Padgett said--referring to the larceny charges, "If anything, it's brought us closer together. We're going to move ahead and have a great time today [with Parker]."

So they had a party.

Parker's award ceremony kicked off with a rowdy parade featuring the star riding comfortably in a red convertible Corvette, waving to students who lined the streets to take a peek at her.

As the parade came to a close in front of the Pudding Building, the group moved inside and onstage. There club members began a grueling roast, making Parker dance to songs from her previous movies ("Footloose" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun") and sing "Tomorrow" from Annie (the play that started her career).

Eventually, Harvard's The Crimson reports, the 36-year-old actress claimed her "pudding pot" (the award she came for), pronouncing, "This is the highest honor in the land."

When Parker spoke to reporters after the event, a Harvard Public Affairs official was there to prevent questioning about the two Harvard seniors--Suzanne Pomey and Randy Gomes, both 21--who were charged with grand larceny Tuesday and released without bail.

People reports that both of the accused admitted to using club credit cards to transfer close to $100,000 to their personal bank accounts, despite pleading not guilty of the charges.

Scarlett Tops Breast List

2008-07-12T22:25:00.000-07:00

Sexy Scarlett Johansson has the best boobs in Hollywood, according to a new magazine poll.

Editors at In Touch magazine gave the actress' "irresistible assets" top marks in the new best-breasts list, claiming Johansson has designer Isaac Mizrahi's wandering hands to thank for her ranking on the Best Cleavage In Hollywood poll.

Magazine spokeswoman Lindsay Loderstedt explains, "It's not unusual for Scarlett Johansson to receive loads of compliments on her ample chest but the level of appreciation reached a new high at this year's Golden Globes when fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi couldn't help but reach out and touch the
21-year-old's assets during a red-carpet interview."

The Lost in Translation star beat out competition from Jessica Simpson and hot Latina Salma Hayek on the breast list.

The “Hollywood Male Model Look”

2008-07-12T10:49:00.000-07:00

Plenty of Eye Candy here for the ladies! (I owe you one guys.. Its coming soon.. “Land the Slammin Beach Body-Ladies Edition”.. A little advice for the ladies & plenty of pics for my boys!) I’m an avid reader of Gentleman’s Quarterly Magazine, Men’s Health, Details, & even pop open Men’s Vogue when I’m Scanning the Shelves @ Books-A-Million.. I don’t think there’s a perfect look because I see many models with different looks, but they all have a few things in common.. These guys are swarmed by women (the hottest women), they get paid because of their looks (highly compensated), and probably feel a little cocky (which as you’ve probably noticed, a little “cocky confidence” is a GREAT ingredient in building attraction with the opposite sex!) Lets look at a few of these guys & see how they can freshen up our look..

Who is this guy?

Jason Shaw models for Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, & Polo (among others I’m sure).. This guy is one of the highest paid models in the fashion industry & as you may know, dated Paris Hilton & Made a PG13 Naughty Tape with her (I Say Naughty Because I don’t Think They Actually “Fought the Good Fight” in it.. Just Coverage of Some Cute “Slap & Tickle”) I highlight him because he always seem to stay in great shape, & his look is very polished.. Jason’s chest is only 38.5 inches wide with a 31.5 inch waist on his 6′2″ frame. In bodybuilder world, that’s a really small chest, but notice how he’s still athletically cut & looks great. (Bodybuilders would panick if they shrunk to this size.. But Jasons paychecks aren’t shrinking..) As you can see the “sexiest” guys in the world aren’t stressed about big swollen muscles.. (I like to call the look these models have as “Tight, Lean, & Toned”.. Definitely attainable). He’s probably maximum 175lbs in this picture.. Jason won’t be winning any bench press competitions though (Which is Fine with Him…. & Paris!)

Photos of Top Figure Competitor Simona Fusco

2008-07-12T10:37:00.000-07:00

Born in Milan, Italy, Simona grew up in both Italy and Vienna, Austria. At the age of 14 she moved to the United States where her first "Hollywood moment" was when director Oliver Stone approached her to play the title role in LOLITA which her mother refused to let her do because of the subject matter.

Famed columnist James Bacon described this talented beauty as "the most spectacular looking blonde since Marilyn Monroe!" And who but one of a select few to photograph and interview Monroe, arguably Hollywood’s most iconic bombshell, would know better? Not too many actresses can make that claim!

Simona’s other credits include the part of ‘Ulsa’ in the hit comedy BEERFEST from the famed writing team as the ‘Broken Lizard,’ and roles in BOTTOM'S UP with Paris Hilton, CHASING GHOSTS opposite Michael Madsen and Shannon Sossaman, and a guest star spot on the hit HBO series ENTOURAGE.

Not only a silver screen beauty, Simona has been involved in the campaigns for such popular brands as Coca-Cola, BMW, Ferrari, Guess! By Marciano and Fendi for Vogue magazine among others. Simona was featured in a six-page spread in the September 2006 issue of Maxim Magazine.

Simona is a force of nature, conquering film, television, corporate campaigns and whatever else she set’s her sights on!

Bollywood's Shilpa Shetty goes into fitness business

2008-07-12T10:32:00.000-07:00

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty entered the celebrity physical fitness business on Friday, launching a new yoga video she called a "management system for life."

The 32-year-old actress, who produced and stars in the video, said she made it in response to fans' questions about how she stayed fit.

"A lot of fans have asked about my fitness regime -- I think this is the best way to tell them what to do to be healthy," Shetty told reporters as she released the video in the Indian capital.

Shetty said her aim in producing the 72-minute video entitled Shilpa's Yoga, whose cover features the actress sitting cross-legged in a yoga pose, was "to make it simple for people to do yoga."

"It can be done by a 10- or 60-year-old," she said, adding yoga had a "spectacular impact" on her own life.

"It has helped my mind, body and soul," said Shetty, who also recently launched a perfume.

Shetty made the headlines last year when she won British reality show Celebrity Big Brother UK, during which she faced racist attacks by housemates.

Months later, she made news again when Hollywood actor Richard Gere showered her with kisses at an AIDS-awareness event in India.

The incident, aired on TV, sparked a firestorm in India, where chaste public behaviour is a tradition. Shetty blamed India's "lunatic fringe" for the uproar in which effigies of the pair were burned.

At Friday's news conference, Shetty denounced Bollywood's new "size zero" craze, spawned by media obsession with Indian star Kareena Kapoor's slender new figure.

"Size zero is something very unhealthy. I'm a size eight," Shetty said.

"Today fitness in India is a style statement. My idea of fitness is to be healthy. Even if I am slightly bulky, I am well-toned, I am happy," she said.

A-Rod Rocker-shocker! Fitness model, Boston babe on Alex's roster

2008-07-11T20:15:00.000-07:00

A-Rod's women are crawling out of the woodwork, including a musclebound model who up until recently had been dating much-loathed ex-ballplayer John Rocker.

Fitness model Alicia Marie called Alex Rodriguez a "sweetheart" and insisted that while they have spent time alone at her apartment, they are just "close friends."

Former stripper Candice Houlihan, however, readily admitted to a "two-night stand" with the Rodriguez in 2004, the year the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years.

"I feel like I reversed the curse," Houlihan joked of her romps with the slugger, who is going through a bitter divorce.

Houlihan's claims came a day after Rodriguez's angry wife, Cynthia, served him with divorce papers accusing him of "extramarital affairs."

Rodriguez, a reputed serial seducer who has been linked to Madonna, has not filed a response - although friends told the Daily News on Monday that Cynthia went on a $100,000 spiteful spending spree in Paris last week.

Responding to an e-mail from The News, Marie said Rodriguez frequently visited her Chelsea apartment a few years ago to lend a sympathetic ear "when I had just gone through a separation and divorce."

"I am well aware that people will assume the absolute worst here, but Alex was, and to this day remains, just a close friend," wrote the 5-foot-10 brunette. "Friends hang out together in each other's apartments!"

Marie, who now lives in Atlanta, where Rocker used to pitch for the Braves and still lives, confirmed last night that while she "still loves the man New Yorkers love to hate," they recently broke up.

Rocker drew the city's wrath when he called Mets fans "degenerates" and said New York has too many "foreigners" in a 1999 Sports Illustrated interview.

"I am certainly not one of Alex's attention-seeking strippers," insisted Marie, who graduated from the University of Connecticut with a degree in neuroscience.

She said their admiration for each other is physical. "He admires people who work their bodies into perfection," said Marie, voted "Ms. Bikini Universe" in 2004.

While Marie denied any hanky-panky with Rodriguez, Houlihan eagerly admitted circling the bases twice with the third baseman - and said she was rooting for Cynthia in the divorce battle.

"A leopard doesn't change his spots," Houlihan, now a hairdresser in Boston Herald. "Good for her. I think she's doing the smart thing."

Houlihan said she met A-Rod at Fenway Park in July 2004 after she and some friends razzed him.

Hello. My name is Liz Franchini. I was born and raised in Staten Island, NY. Ever since I can remember I had wanted to model. In 1990, I entered Ford Super Model of the World Competition in NYC and beat out 8,000 girls. I became one of the top 6 remaining girls in the competition. It felt amazing to see myself in the NY Daily News, my local papers and television .That is what started me on my way to Miss Budweiser, Hawaiian Tropics Competitions, Charity Events, Special Events & Award Ceremonies.

I went to a local talent agency in my area and they asked me if I would like to work in television and feature films and commercials..I said yes "What do I have to do"? ..ever since, I have met & worked with many great celebrities, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Jennifer Aniston, Mel Gibson and many others in television, such as New York Undercover & Law & Order, feature films, Peacemaker, One Fine Day, a video with the band Nine Inch Nails, commercials for NY Lotto, Wrangler Jeans, soaps, All My Children & Guiding Light, calendars, print and many others. Also, an investor in a restaurant in NYC, PJ Clarke's @ 4 World Financial Center, NY Real Estate License, NY Cosmetologist License, Make-up Artist, Nail Technician, Skin Care, Esthetics, and NY Bartending License.

I grew up in a small town in Massachusetts, where I currently reside. I have always been extremely athletic my entire life. From the age of 5, I started playing soccer and basketball, which landed me on traveling teams, varsity teams as well as Junior Olympics!

After high school, I attended Rivier College, where I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, Graphic Design. It was then, that I really started hitting the gym hard! I started fitness modeling shortly after and even got myself published in a few magazines; Planet Muscle, American Curves, Muscle Magazine, and Men's Fitness!

I love to model, however my all time favorite passion is working with models and creating websites! In 2004, I established an online magazine called (Fitness Models Magazine, which specializes in promoting and exposing fitness and bikini models. FMM has become a well known hotspot for models and photographers!

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my Fiance', playing with my dog, traveling, working out, watching movies, shopping, and more!

I look back on the past eight years with pride and often disbelief. Not only has fitness transformed my body but also my life. I joined a gym eight years ago and in the beginning spent hours on steppers, stationary bikes, and treadmills. I watched the few bodybuilders at my gym with admiration as they prepared for show. I approached them seeking guidance and I began to weight train - my transformation began. Not only did my physique improve I also developed a passion for health and fitness. Being on stage gives me the opportunity to show off my passion and hard work. Training makes me physically and mentally strong, helps me stay focused, and truly and most importantly makes me happy!

Top Fitness Models

As relationships grow old and comfort takes the place of passion, it’s nice to have a girl who will always take special care to look her best. This is something that all the fitness models listed below can guarantee.

Fitness models go to exceptional lengths to look their best. They spend hours in the gym, eat only the healthiest foods, and stay away from drugs and alcohol. Admittedly, problems arise if her biceps grow bigger than yours and her voice gets deeper. That’s why we left out girls who spend way too much time in the gym and found some fitness models who sport a good combination of looks, fitness achievements and, above all, femininity.

We’ve also omitted fitness models who have become WWE personalities, simply because there are too many of them to list. Instead, we’ve focused exclusively on fitness models who are in top physical shape, and who can probably bench-press you.

Chellss

Number 1

This Dutch fitness model competes in events around the world and in 2006 she placed No. 1 at the Dutch Nationals Figure Championship. She has also appeared in the pages of such glossies as Ebony-Fitness, Aktueel and Muscle and Fitness. Chellss is a ripped beauty who is on her way to achieving greater recognition, but she’s clearly one of the industry’s up-and-coming bright spots and poised to make a name for herself elsewhere.

Annette Milbers

2008-04-12T12:01:00.000-07:00

Number 2

Annette Milbers might have one of the best bodies in the world, but not many people know of her. She’s already the winner of a number of fitness competitions, like the Northern Fitness Championships and the Faremon Model Search. And although she’s relatively unheralded outside the world of health and fitness modeling, this blonde hard-body has what it takes to make the leap to mainstream recognition.

Jennifer England

2008-04-12T11:54:00.000-07:00
