World's Top Earning Supermodel Gisele Bündchen Set to Star in Austin Powers
Submitted by Julie on May 3, 2008 - 11:13am.
Gisele Bündchen has once again been named the world's top supermodel for the second year in a row, with earnings of more than $35 million in the past year. The Brazilian model outearned #2 Heidi Klum ($14 mil) by more than double on the list compiled by Forbes.com.
Bündchen, 27, managed to rake in $35 million last year despite having terminated a lucrative contract with Victoria's Secret last May. In fact, she earned $2 million more than she did in 2006.
But the girl friend of football superstar Tom Brady is more than just looks- she's also known for her business savvy. Contributing to her 2007 earnings is the fact that she insists on having her contracts paid in Euros, rather than the failing US dollar.
Kate Moss dropped a spot on the list to #3, and Australian model Miranda Kerr (Orlando Bloom's girlfriend) is a new entry this year at #10.
Here is the list of the top ten earning supermodels in the world:
1. Gisele Bundchen, $35 million
2. Heidi Klum, $14 million
3. Kate Moss, $7.5 million
4. Adriana Lima, $7 million
5. Doutzen Kroes, $6 million
6. Karolina Kurkova, $5 million
7. Natalia Vodianova, $4.8 million
8. Carolyn Murphy, $4.5 million
9. Daria Werbowy, $3.8 million
10. Miranda Kerr, $3.5 million

Juicy Couture Takes Victoria's Secret to Court
Submitted by Julie on April 30, 2008 - 12:10pm.
Juicy Couture, the California apparel company made famous by the likes of Britney Spears and other Hollywood elite, has filed a lawsuit against Victoria's Secret. In the filing, Juicy Couture accuses Victoria's Secret of stealing their idea of putting their name on the backsides of women's clothing.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in Manhattan, in which Juicy Couture claims:
"The similarities are not inadvertent and are designed to capitalize on the success of Juicy Couture."
Further suggesting that Victoria's Secret is out to steal and capitalize on all their ideas, Juicy Couture also accuses them of selling clothes wrapped in the shape of lollipops, bon bons and ice cream cones in order to mimic the success of their Sweet Shoppe packaging.
But that's not all! The suit also claims that VS is using deceptive trade practices, and is trying to capitalize on the success of Juicy Couture.
Juicy is asking for the judge to order all of the offending clothes destroyed, and is asking for triple damages, or three times the profits that VS made through the sale of its allegedly stolen ideas.
Looking For a Stylish Summer Swimsuit? Check Out Old Navy!
Submitted by Julie on April 28, 2008 - 8:39pm.
Old Navy admittedly is not the first place that would come to mind when searching for a hot summer swimsuit, but ever since the company decided to refocus their brand earlier this year, we've been spotting some sexy, edgier pieces on their racks. So it's out with the bland pastels and flower patterns of past Old Navy swimsuits, and in with the daring metallics and plunging necklines.
Old Navy's swimsuit lineup this year features a metallic collection in various shades of gold, bronze, white, and stripes. There are two-piece bikinis featuring your choice of a bandeau top or the more traditional triangle top, and a one-piece option featuring a deep plunging neckline.
So if you're looking to stand out from the crowd at the beach this year, why not check out Old Navy's offerings? They look great, and even better, are affordable! As Paris Hilton would say "That's hot."
"Worst Dressed" Amy Winehouse Being Paid $1 Million to Perform at Paris Fashion Show
Submitted by Julie on March 2, 2008 - 12:11pm.
Amy Winehouse picked up an award for "Worst Dressed" last night at the NME Awards, and as such, she's the last person we'd expect to be showing her face at a fashion event. The fashion industry, however, seems to have taken the style-challenged star under their wing.
Amy is being flown to France today by private jet for Paris Fashion Week, where she will be performing at Louis Vuitton's show. For this single performance Amy will be paid a staggering $1 million.
But there's even more proof that Amy has somehow become the fashion industry's unlikely golden child. Designer Karl Lagerfield has based a new line of clothes on her "unique" style, beehives were en vogue at London Fashion Week last month, and this week it was revealed that Amy is working on her own clothing and cosmetics line.
Steve and Barry's Big Ben Headache
Submitted by Eugmc on February 29, 2008 - 12:19pm.
The trade of Ben Wallace has had an interesting ramification for the Steve and Barry's who endorses a line of clothing for the chain. Wallace is unable to wear his signature "Big Ben" shoes because the colors of the shoes are designed for the Chicago Bulls not his new team the Cleveland Cavaliers. The company is frantically trying to come up with a new design so the defensive star can wear them with his new team.
Steve and Barry's will be releasing the second collection of the Big Ben collection, which also includes shoes, shirts, shorts, and other apparel, will be released next fall. While leaving a big market like Chicago probably hurts, playing in Cleveland where LeBron James gets constant media attention helps. The Bulls have been had a lackluster team so the trade of Wallace may be a blessing in disguise as the Cavaliers try to make it the NBA Finals for the second straight season.
Steve and Barry's has 5 Northeastern Ohio stores.

Actress Natalie Portman has launched a new vegan shoe collection for Te Cesan. A long-time animal rights supporter, Portman unveiled the line at the NYC Te Cesan store on Tuesday evening.
Natalie, who has been a vegetarian since age eight, recently decided to cut out all other animal products as well. She admits though, "I don't know how long that will last."
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the shoes will go to The Nature Conservancy, an organization dedicated to ecological protection.
"As a vegan, it's been challenging finding designer shoes made of alternative materials. It's the perfect opportunity to design high-end footwear free of animal products."
