Canada’s Next Top Model: The beauty regime…

Ylenia | CNTMFor most people, the camera adds 10 pounds. For Ylenia Aurucci, the latest girl booted from Canada’s Next Top Model, it adds 10 years.
“The comment (from the judges) of me looking old — I could totally see that in my picture. So, after I saw how the photo turned out, I had a feeling I was going home,” says Aurucci, a Vancouver actor who was just 23 when the reality series was filmed.
“It’s strange. Even myself, I thought I appeared older on TV and in the pictures, but in person, people are usually right on with my age.”
While Aurucci has always dreamed of becoming a model, her life circumstances have made it difficult for her to pursue.
As a teenager, her parents moved the family to Africa where, she says, it was next to impossible to break into the industry.
“When I saw the commercial (for Canada’s Next Top Model), I just thought this was a great chance to try it out,” she says, adding the experience was different than she anticipated.
“Just having the cameras following you around everywhere and sharing the house with nine girls and the pressure of the competition, it was very hard.”
Aurucci says she plans on pursuing a career in modelling and acting when she moves to Toronto next month. Her elimination means four girls are now left in the running to become Canada’s Next Top Model.
The show airs next Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Canada’s Citytv.

She says, “I’ve been asked lots of times to write about the fashion industry but I felt I wanted to write about where I come from.”

Carolyn Murphy’s sex tape battle

Carlyn MurphyThe legal battle over a sex tape involving supermodel Carolyn Murphy has extended to the Valley. Murphy is currently the face of Estee Lauder and appeared on the cover of the 2005 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.
From 1999 to 2002, she was married to surf shop owner Jack Schroeder, who was in court Wednesday night at Fourth Avenue Jail. During their marriage, the couple apparently made a sex tape and now the two are in a legal battle over the release of it.
Schroeder’s spokesman said that his client was in court after he was arrested for allegedly not showing up to a court appearance related to the sex-tape disclosure. The spokesman also said that his client is posting a $7,500 bond and is expected to be released from jail sometime today. Murphy and Schroeder are still battling in court over whether or not their sex tape will be released to the public.
