She has been criticised for looking worryingly thin but Kate Moss may yet become a more suitable role model. The 34-year-old is embarking on a healthy-eating regime apparently in the hope that it will boost her fertility.
“Kate is taking her diet and health seriously,” says an insider.
“She has been taking extra iron supplements and stocking up on spinach and greens.”
The party-loving supermodel is also said to be planning to give up alcohol and coffee.
Kate has been dating The Kills frontman Jamie Hince following her split from Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty last June and I’m told the couple have already discussed a baby.
“Kate is desperate to have another child,” my source adds.
“She loosely follows the same diet as Gwyneth Paltrow does, which is Dr Nish Joshi’s cleansing diet, but she has tailored it around trying to get pregnant.”

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are dating, “exclusive” sources snitch to Perez Hilton. “They’re really into each other. It’s serious,” says the informant. Perez writes that the “Good Charlotte rocker accompanied Hilton on a work trip to St. Louis this weekend, where she went to promote her new fragrance.” Perhaps in her new tamer life she will become a sister-in-law of sorts to Nicole Richie.

Heidi Klum wants to help Britney Spears. The 34-year-old model says she’d be willing to open her home to Spears while the troubled pop singer puts her life back together.
“She can call me and come live in our house with us for a couple of months,” said Klum, a mother of three who is married to the singer Seal and lives in Beverly Hills, Calif. “I would help set her straight.”
“I am sorry when a young person gets thrown so off track,” Klum said, according to a transcript of an interview that will be aired Monday night by the German broadcaster ARD. “She has, of course, lived an extremely wild life.”
After more than a year of bizarre behavior and two stints in a psychiatric hospital this year, Spears was placed under a conservatorship by the Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner at the beginning of February. Conservatorships are established when a court determines that someone cannot take care of themselves or their affairs.
To hear Klum, the host of Bravo’s “Project Runway,” describe it, her own life seems like a fairy tale.
“I have never been as happy as I am today,” Klum said. “I have found the man of my life and we have three great kids. They are all so different and fantastic that it really can’t get better than this.”

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric is now dating Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima.
Lima, a Brazilian native, is the star of the new Victoria’s Secret commercial that debuted on the Super Bowl. Marko Jaric plays basketball at NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves.
The day before her ad premiered last weekend, “Marko chartered a plane to be with her on her big day,” says a source to People Magazine. “He flew in Saturday and flew back early Sunday morning so he could be on time for practice.”
Lima has walked the catwalks of some of the world’s most renowned designers, such as Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Ralph Lauren, Valentino.
Lima has also graced the covers of Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Vogue, GQ, to name a few. Her April 2006 GQ cover was the highest-selling issue of the year.
Adriana Lima is the fourth-highest paid model in the world as 2007. She is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret, where she was joined by Gisele Bundchen and Alessandra Ambrosio as the Brazilian “trinity” of models. Bundchen has since left Victoria’s Secret as an “angel”.
Along with Heidi Klum, Lima has been with Victoria’s Secret the longest (since 1999). She is joined by Ambrosio, Klum, Selita Ebanks, Isabel Goulart, Miranda Kerr, Karolina Kurkova and Marisa Miller as Victoria’s Secret models.
Marco Jaric, a Serbian native, is a 6-foot-7, 224-pound shooting guard for the Timberwolves. Jaric, 29, has played in the NBA for six years after being drafted in 2000. He is a member of the Serbian National Team and hails from Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

Designers could desert the showcase for the British fashion industry, if ultra-thin catwalk models must have a certificate to prove they are healthy, it is claimed.

The idea was recommended by an inquiry last year into the health of fashion models.
Hilary Riva, chief executive of the British Fashion Council, wrote in an open letter: “Industry representatives advise us that any unilateral action by London Fashion Week will mean that models will decline to work in London which is already the least commercially attractive of the four major fashion weeks.
“Without internationally recognised catwalk models our designers will not want to show here.”
London Fashion Week, which begins on Sunday, is vulnerable to a boycott because more than 70 per cent of the models who appear are based overseas.
The BFC insists it is committed to introducing the certificates. Some of the inquiry’s recommendations have been implemented, including banning under 16s from the catwalks at London Fashion Week.

The IESB broke the casting of Storm Shadow, Zartan and Destro. We’ve brought you solid news on G.I. Joe thus far and are going to add one more to the mix, Cover Girl Revealed!
Czech Supermodel Karolína Isela Kurková will be bringing Courtney A. Kreiger, better known as Cover Girl, to the big screen in Paramount Pictures’ live action adaptation of the Hasbro toy line.
Fitting that Kurková is best known for her modeling in the Victoria Secret Angels ad campaign (to quote Borat “NIIICE!”) considering Cover Girl was a highly successful fashion model from Peoria, Illinois who graced the covers of countless magazines. She soon found the world of modeling unfulfilling and joined the army to seek out new challenges in life in order to prove she was much more than just a pretty face.
So now you know.
And knowing is….well, you know. Karolína Kurková joins David Murray (Destro), Dennis Quaid (Hawk), Arnold Vosloo (Zartan), Channing Tatum (Duke), Sienna Miller (The Baroness), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Said Taghmaoui (Breaker), Marlon Wayans (Ripcord), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Rex) and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) in the live action G.I Joe directed by Stephen Sommers set to be released August 7, 2009.
