Eva Mendes shows cheeky PETA campaign

/0.19

On the Lucire site today: the glamorous and very curvy actress Eva Mendes stars in the new PETA ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur’ campaign.    Lucire is known to many animal cruelty campaigners and to PETA for its continual support of their causes, so unlike some publications covering the story, we practise what […]

Off to Sydney

December 1, 2007/4.19

  We’re so used to Doug being the guy with the camera that at his own farewell at Wellington Airport, no one had one. Except those cameras on those newfangled cellphones. Alas, here is Mr Rimington heading to the gate in a less than stellar photograph—probably the way he prefers it since he doesn’t like […]

The Delta Goodrem–Brian McFadden about-face

/5.18

[Cross-posted] I spotted the below on Ninemsn today and thought, ‘Poor Brian.’    I clicked on the ?rst link and found quite the opposite:    It’s not as embarrassing as the network, and the Murdoch Press, reporting on the Miranda Kerr incident two years late and getting the venue wrong, but it’s still an about-face.    Netizens will […]

San Francisco Chronicle reports Miranda Kerr–Paris Hilton incident

November 29, 2007/12.11

Fascinating: after our post exposing the Miranda Kerr v. Paris Hilton incident at Victoria’s Secret to be false—or at least ridiculously inaccurate, with media outlets getting the year and the venue wrong—the Chronicle’s SFGate.com still reported it. It has taken the post down now, but not before Google News found it:      Yes, we are […]

/10.04

Claudia Schiffer says she will continue to hold off writing an autobiography, citing that at 37 she is too young to write about her life. She is also not prepared to divulge personal details, guarding her private life closely.    ‘I’ve had a lot of offers but I just don’t feel ready yet,’ she told […]

It’s not ‘Volante’, but I still read it

/3.49

I spotted the Australian Travel & Leisure when in Sydney and I’ve noticed now the word Australia has become the words Australia & New Zealand very quietly. And being an American Express card member here (wank factor time: Platinum) I am going to be getting these babies free for the next year.    The funny thing […]

November 27, 2007/3.19

The official announcement about next year’s Southern Trust ID Dunedin Fashion Week has arrived, as expected.    As insiders know, the Southern Trust has taken over principal sponsorship of the event, after Vodafone felt its participation had run its course after 2007.
