News snippets: Gisele Bundchen

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and surfer boyfriend Kelly Slater have ended their relationship. The pair had been dating for eight months and both are reportedly taking the split hard.According to American publication In Touch, Slater, who has also dated Pamela Anderson, was so distraught over the split he skipped the June 12 premiere of his new film “Letting Go.”

Gisele has been giving workers on a New York construction site an early morning thrill by working out in skimpy yoga attire in front of them.
The sexy Brazilian felt sure the burly builders couldn’t see into her apartment — but she discovered she was mistaken when they started waving at her.
She explains, “I kept telling my assistant that we needed to put something up, because they could see in my apartment, but she said, ‘Don’t worry about it — you have special blinds where you can see out, but they can’t see in.’”
The supermodel continued to stretch and practice yoga in skimpy outfits every morning in her living room. She adds, “I’m stretching in my shorts and I see a guy looking at me, but my assistant said he couldn’t see me, so I continued.
“I left and came back home and there were more guys looking into my apartment. I decided to wave (to see if they could see) and they all waved back. “They could see me the entire time! I could have killed her (assistant)!”

Further, Gisele is taking over Uma Thurman’s role as the face of luxury goods label Louis Vuitton. Actress Thurman has represented the French fashion house for two seasons, but Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs believes the company needs to use professional models again.
Jacobs explains, “We just wanted a fashion icon more than the celebrity thing”. “I certainly feel Gisele is iconic and recognized all over the world as Gisele. Also, the clothes were hot and sexy and colorful, and we thought she would exaggerate the strength and the heat of the collection.”
Previous faces of Louis Vuitton include Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson, Christina Ricci and Chloe Sevigny.

Kate Moss hooks up Anthony… and catches another big deal!

Supermodel Kate Moss has been spotted leaving a hotel in the wee hours with Dirty Pretty Things guitarist, Anthony Rossomando. The pair met up on Thursday at the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park and were pictured leaving Brown’s Hotel at 5.45am on Thursday morning.
What could they have been up to? A friend said to the Mirror: “One wonders how Kate keeps going.” The pair had met previously through Dirty Pretty Things front man, Carl Barat who founded the Libertines with Moss’ ex, Pete Doherty.
The friend continued: “Carl introduced them and they got on really well, though they didn’t have much time to chat.”
This time round Moss took Rossomando on a tour of London’s most flash hotels, a tour that ended in Browns. When all this modelling lark dries up, maybe she could be a London tour guide?
Meanwhile Kate will star in a campaign to relaunch one of Bulgari’s original scents. The Roman jewelry company will rerelease Bulgari Pour Femme worldwide in August with the aim of repositioning it as Bulgari Parfum’s cornerstone women’s scent. A spokeswoman for Bulgari here said the relaunch is intended to show that the classic fragrance transmits the essence of a luxury jewelry company.
