Meanwhile, Gisele Bundchen has quit as the face of Victoria’s Secret lingerie, because they reportedly would not increase her US$5 million annual salary.
“Her demands were outrageous,” a source told Brazilian website Glamurana. “She got a new lawyer who was unrealistic.
“Victoria’s Secret doesn’t care. They have five new hotter, younger girls debuting next year. And they won’t have to deal with any craziness.”
In other news, according to the Brazilian media, among Gisele’s long list of requests in contract talks were that she never be on the runway at the same time as ex BF Leo DiCaprio’s current GF, Bar Refaeli reports TMZ

Australian model Catherine McNeil has reportedly secured Versace’s Fall-Winter 2007 campaign, spills our pals at Fashionista.com. The 18 year old beauty went from a tomboy who loved motorbikes to the girl of the moment with an exclusive six-month contract with Mario Testino and the starring role in V’s FALL Fashion Preview writes V Magazine/
Mario Testino photographed McNeil, just twice earlier this year before signing her up to work exclusively with him for a six-month period.
“I was sent some Polaroids of Catherine by her agency,” Testino explains how he discovered the model.
“And I just thought, Wow! This girl is amazing. I see beautiful girls all the time, but many only work for one season. I am looking for something more than good looks, because when you take a photograph what is on the outside creates an impression for the viewer for five minutes. But if a girl can project what’s inside her, that’s what lingers. I think Catherine has got what it takes to be an amazing model. That’s why I’ve put her on an exclusive contract. It’s one thing to spot someone early in their career—I’m never afraid to take risks on a new girl—but it’s a great luxury to be able to develop what starts as an instinct and turns into a rich working relationship. It means we’ll have time to make some fantastic photographs together.”

Here’s Petra Nemcova looking hot at some swanky shindig. But what I love about these pictures is the fact that they could be an advertisment for the wonders of double sided tape. She is so tightly stuck to her dress that when her top falls open, the boob goes with it. If she wasn’t wearing more tape than a Christmas present, her ta-tas would have spilled onto the champagne tray. And look how none of the people she’s talking to are even trying to let her know that she’s pushing the limits of sticky physics. I guess at those classy parties you aren’t supposed to grab someone breast and shove it back into their dress.

Supermodel Kate Moss is reportedly longing for a baby with beau Pete Doherty.
According to friends, Moss, who launched her Topshop fashion line this week, is desperate to start a family with the Babyshambles frontman.
The Croydon-born fashion icon, who already has a four-year-old daughter Lila Grace, with her ex-love, publisher Jefferson Hack, thinks that her substance addicted fiancé will prove to be a “fun” dad.
And in spite of engagement reports, Moss is said to be more determined to become a mum again than marrying Doherty.
“Everyone’s obsessing about a marriage and where we are with that,” she told a chum.
“None of that counts because we’re together. What counts is having a family and we need the bond of a child. We’ve got our music together and we’re writing an album but a baby would be the clincher between Pete and me – and Lila deserves a brother or sister,” The Daily Express quoted Moss, as telling a friend.
Pete, who has entered rehab for drug addiction several times, already has a three-year-old son Astile by his ex-lover Lisa Moorish.
It is reported he has limited access to his son because of his drug use.
