Woody Allen reportedly has his eye on casting Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima in his next movie.
The renowned director was said to be interested in working with the 28-year-old mum-to-be in Rio de Janeiro.
“In a recent meeting in New York with Brazilian producers, Allen confessed that he is ‘fascinated’ by her beauty,” the New York Post quoted Brazil’s Glamurama magazine as saying.
The filmmaker’s publicist was unavailable for comments.
But Lima’s rep said: “Adriana has not been approached, but she is flattered by his comments.”

Budding models and fashion photographers, listen up. Naomi Campbell is on the look-out for the next big thing as she launches a competition with Talenthouse.com, the online community for music, fashion, film and photography talent. The Brit supermodel is on the hunt for an aspiring international fashion photographer as well as two models, one male and one female, who will win the chance to pose for a major fashion title.
At the moment the project will be run on the internet only, but surely it’ll be snapped up by a TV company in no time. The potential for tears, tantrums and snappy one-liners from Nay is just too great, non? Now, we don’t know about the photography bit but we reckon Tyra Banks, who has held the coveted title of supermodel-presenting-show-to-find-another-model for a good few series now, may have something to say about the model search if it becomes a television show. The two women only made up their 15-year-long feud a few years ago, after a tearful heart-to-heart on Tyra’s chat show in which the ANTM presenter accused Naomi of having her kicked off a photo shoot after an argument, prompting her rival to apologise:
‘However I’ve affected you or you’ve felt that I’ve affected you, I take my responsibility. I must say I’m very proud of you. You’ve been a powerful black woman… Please continue.’
Don’t do anything to rock the boat now, Naomi…

Several months ago supermodel Heidi Klum admitted that she had been forced to shut down her jewelry label after being slapped with a lawsuit from luxury jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels. But Klum has reportedly closed another licensing deal, this time in collaboration with Rick and Brian Cytrynbaum, on a “lifestyle collection.”
WWD reports that the yet-to-be-named line is set to launch for fall 2010 with a selection of footwear and that it will later branch out to include active wear, dresses and swimwear.
Klum has also hinted that maternity clothing will be included in the collection.

Fields and high heels are, perhaps, not the best combination.
But the perennially glamorous Paris Hilton was not going to let a mere pumpkin patch stand in the way of her love of fashion.
The American socialite was spotted at the Mr Bone’s Pumpkin Patch yesterday, a popular Halloween haunt at this time of year in Los Angeles among the Hollywood celebs.
But while most opt for more practical footwear to tread the allotment, an undeterred Paris, 28, negotiated the bumpy terrain in a pair of sky-high black shoes.
Other stars who have paid a visit this week include Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale.
The couple brought along their son Kingston, aged two, and baby Zuma on Tuesday, as they made their second trip to the patch in as many weeks.
Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba was another attendee, bringing along her 16-month-old daughter Honor Marie.
But her husband Cash Warren did not come along for the trip.
Sex and the City actor Chris Noth, aka Mr Big, enjoyed a family day out there on Sunday, with girlfriend Tara Wilson and their 22-month-old son Orion Christopher.
But the Pumpkin Patch is not just for a family day out with the children, as Hugh Heffner’s new girlfriends proved.
Blonde twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon, who the Playboy boss Hugh Heffner is said to ‘dating’, were spotted laughing as they picked out some of the more curiously shaped orange vegetables.
The 19-year-old sisters are calling the Playboy mansion home these days and have reportedly been sharing a bathroom with Hef’s former No.1 girlfriend, Holly Madison.

France’s leading high society magazine has today produced a devastating portrait of Carla Bruni as the country’s new Marie Antoinette.
Point de Vue presents the 41-year-old First Lady as a daffy multi-millionaire socialite who does very little real work, and who is completely out of touch with ordinary people.
The attack by the Paris weekly, which specialises in covering the lives of aristocrats and European royalty, will come as a huge blow to President Nicolas Sarkozy as he tries to play down his monarchichal style.
He was recently humiliated after trying to parachute his 23-year-old son Jean, known as ‘Prince Jean’, into a job as head of Paris’s largest business district.
Photos of the President’s third wife have been juxtaposed with paintings of Marie Antoninette, the Queen of France whose high living and laziness led to her being guillotined in 1793 at the height of the French Revolution.
‘Same posture, same look, same smile,’ Point de Vue writes at the start of an eight-page feature, adding that both women were well known for their obsession with designer clothers and their own physical image.
While Marie Antoinette relied on court artist Elisabeth Vigee-Le Brun for her flattering portraits, Miss Bruni gets hers done by American photographer Annie Lebovitz, who charges thousands of dollars a picture.
Self-obsessed Marie Antoinette would pretend to be a shepherd at her ‘play’ farm in Versailles, near Paris, and also enjoyed singing and playing the harpsichord.
Miss Bruni also likes spending ‘country’ weekends at Versailles – where she too has an official home – and is a self-styled pop singer with an obsession with psychotherapy.
Referring to Miss Bruni’s recent TV appearance about her psychotherapy, Point de Vue reads: ‘At a time when an economic crisis is coming to a head, unemployment is rife, and there are government controversies, the wife of the president prefers to talk in front of a camera about her first psychoanalysis session.’
It added that such traits baffled traditional rural French people, who expected the First Lady to be both self-effacing and hard working.
‘Equality’ is a central tenant of the French Republic, with many believing that Miss Bruni, who comes from a wealthy Italian family, represents inherited wealth like the former Habsburg princess Marie Antoinette.
Legend has it that Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI, when told about the poor having no bread to eat, said: ‘Let them eat cake’.
Left-wing Miss Bruni has advised her husband on a range of controversial policies since she married him last year.
She was said to be behind the appointment of gay culture minister Frederic Mitterand, a personal friend and member of her ‘court’, according to Point de Vue.
Miss Bruni is currently at one of her Mediterranean homes on an extended holiday.
According to her online diary, her last official engagement took place more than a month ago when she visited the Andy Warhol Museum in New York on September 25.
