Model Liskula Cohen has filed a lawsuit against Google in a bid to unmask the blogger who called her a ’skank’ and an ‘old hag’ on a Web site meant to ruin her image. The Vogue model, who has posed for Giorgio Armani and Versace, wants to force Google to reveal who defamed her on the blog ‘Skanks in NYC’ as the ‘No.1 skanky superstar’.
“I can’t begin to imagine why someone would post these things then hide behind a screenname. I guess we’re going to have to find out,” The New York Daily News quoted her lawyer, Steven Wagner, as saying. As part of the defamation suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the blonde beauty seeking a court order compelling Google and its Blogger.com subsidiary to identify the person who led the vicious Internet assault against her.
However, Wagner agreed that it’s quite difficult to identify bloggers who pitch insults anonymously, considering that New York courts have generally declined to unmask them.
“We think we have a case. This is libelous, it’s defamatory and you shouldn’t just get away with this,” he said. On the site, Cohen, 36, is referred to as a desperate “40-something” who “may have been hot 10 years ago. Desperation seeps from her soul, if she even has one.”
According to the suit, Cohen came to know of the blog via two people after hearing about it from modeling clients, who “were concerned about Cohen’s image and its relationship to the client’s products.”
“She’s quite upset,” said Wagner.

An out-of-control Sophie Anderton was arrested last night after allegedly threatening to kill herself in front of former boyfriend, property developer Ed Buxton.
Sophie turned up at the tycoon’s apartment at 2am demanding to see him.
After he refused to let her in, in her highly emotional state, she reportedly screamed: ‘I’ll kill myself if you won’t take me back.’
When Buxton and his doorman tried and failed to calm her down, the property developer was forced to call 999.
Ed split from Sophie last week, after Sophie flirted with Danio Domingues, a doorman from Chelsea nightclub Kitts.
Buxton’s wealthy neighbours in Parsons Green, west London, rushed to help after hearing Sophie’s screams in the lobby.
A resident told the Sun: ‘She kept shouting, ‘”I’ll kill myself if you won’t take me back.” She said she didn’t want to live without him.
‘She was scratching at her wrists and saying, “I could do it, who would care? Nobody cares’.
‘Ed kept saying they’d talk things over but she kept wrestling with him and screaming.’
Paramedics were also called to deal with Sophie, but she allegedly resisted treatment when they arrived, before police arrested her for disorderly conduct.
The Mail On Sunday’s Katie Nicholl wrote this weekend: ‘It’s all over and Sophie’s in a very bad state at the moment,’ I’m told.
But friends of the former supermodel, who has battled drink and drug addictions, and recently finished a long spell in rehab after being exposed as a call girl, insist that the break-up had nothing to do with Danio.
‘Sophie told me she was single,’ said Danio.
‘She was really hitting on me.
‘She gave me her number but, when I called, Ed answered wanting to know who I was.’

Kate Moss recently came under scrutiny after arriving to board a transatlantic flight sans make-up, revealing in the process the signs of her ageing model face.
But this time, although she opted for some make-up and huge sunglasses, the model revealed another area which betrayed the signs of ageing – her crepey-looking chest.
Just last week her iconic, youthful face looked wrinkled and worn as she arrived at LAX airport.
After stepping off her long haul flight from London, the supermodel’s skin was looking blotchy and every inch her 34 years.
But as the star stepped off her 11 hour flight at LAX airport on Friday, it was startlingly clear the plane had left her skin in an even worse state.
Meanwhile, it seems like her romantic getaway with boyfriend Jamie who accompanied her to Los Angeles didn’t quite go to plan.
Kate and Jamie’s hotel Chateau Marmont hotel became the setting for one of their characteristic rows.
A source told the Mirror: ‘A crowd had gathered in the hotel lobby to watch TV screens showing the US election results and there was a lot of excitement about Barack Obama’s victory.
‘Someone said they had heard shouting coming from Kate’s suite. Then Kate suddenly appeared. She had a face like thunder and stormed through the lobby to the bar, downed several drinks and left to get a car.
‘As she left the hotel she was heard yelling into her phone at Jamie for him to stay away from her.’

British supermodel Agyness Deyn was not part of the action on the runway at fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan or Paris.
However, she was the star of the fashion show by her close friend Henry Holland as he presented his collection for the House of Holland, winning over the audience at the final exit in a floral dress. According to Grazia.co.uk, her pal Henry said that Agy has a severe case of bronchitis, which is the cause of her abstinating from the runway.
Agy has recently changed her hair style, copied by Pixie Geldof and Kimberly Stewart, and has been spending time in the arms of her boyfriend Albert Hammond Jr. The rumour is that they are even engaged.
Her new hair do looks like a pot with Mr. Spock ears – an extra short bob cut. Even though British singer and model Sarah Harding had the identical cut last year, it is without a doubt that it will become recognisable and acknowledged on Agy`s head.

Yesterday reports surfaced that Gemma Ward, the baby-faced, blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty, would be retiring from modeling to pursue her blossoming acting career. But today we have news to the contrary, straight from the model herself.
“I was surprised to wake up this morning and read news of my own retirement. While I am taking some time off currently to rest and enjoy the company of friends and family, I am still very much a (excited and enthusiastic) working model and actress. I’m only 20, for God’s sakes.”
Hear that? She’s only 20. Let the girl have a break! Her agency, IMG, did confirm for us, however, that she will be taking off through the end of September, which means we won’t be seeing her on the spring 2009 runways. That said, we’ll be watching carefully to see where she plants herself for her modeling reappearance. It’s bound to be something big.

Sabina Johansson, a stunningly attractive 23-year-old Swedish model, has been swept up in the bust of Big Daddy Lou’s Hot Lap Dance Club on W. 38th Street in Manhattan where she allegedly worked as a house madam for a prostitution ring.
Prominent attorney Lou ‘Big Daddy’ Posner, was also arrested and charged with promoting prostitution at the club, according to court records.
Johansson, who has appeared in an Avril Lavigne music video and on the Tyra Banks Show, was arrested July 24, the NY Daily News reports. Her arrest raises new concerns over how young fashion models can fall into lines of work that exploit their looks and vulnerability.
On June 28, Russian model Ruslana Korshunova, 20, fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment amid a swirl of rumors that she was involved in a vicious ring that exploited young foreign models. Her death was officially ruled a suicide.
Johansson has denied knowing about the sex-for-sale activities going on in the private rooms of the club, but investigators say she was in on the business.
NYPD vice unit officers posing as patrons claim Johansson greeted them at the club and hinted they could expect sex from lap dancers if the price was right. “Defendant told [the undercover officer] that she was aware prostitution activity was going on at the club in its private rooms,” according to court records.
One undercover officer claimed prostitution was widespread. “On each occasion, he received offers from scantily clad female lap dancers working at the club to engage in sexual conduct, including intercourse, in exchange for money in the private rooms of the club,” court records say.
As the house mom, Johansson allegedly collected nightly fees of up to $80 from the club’s 120 dancers, scheduled shifts and rented out the private rooms and suites, prosecutors claim. Johansson could not be reached for comment.
A grand jury is hearing evidence in the case and could indict Posner and others as early as next week.

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo turned down Paris Hilton after she made a play for him at a Hollywood nightclub, MailOnline has learned.
The Manchester United striker – currently in LA on an undisclosed business trip – arrived at trendy hotspot Villa in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A source said: ‘Paris was all over him. The moment he arrived, she went over to his private table.
‘At one point, she pushed her chest together and made a point of trying to snuggle up against him.
‘But Ronaldo clearly wasn’t interested in Paris. He turned his back on her.’
According to reports, the 23-year-old Portugese star is a single man after splitting from model Nereida Gallardo, 25.
And heiress Paris, clad in a peach-coloured dress, was clearly impressed by his charms.
The onlooker added: ‘Every girl in the club was checking him out but Paris couldn’t take her eyes off him.
‘You could tell he enjoyed the attention but he didn’t really want anything to do with any of the girls.
‘He just sipped vodka soda in the corner of the club with his friends.’
Flanked by four or five male friends, Ronaldo arrived hobbled in on crutches just after 11.30pm.
Earlier, he had enjoyed a business dinner with around nine associates at Hollywood steak restaurant STK.
A fellow diner said: ‘He is obviously in LA on business.
‘He looked very serious over dinner and spent the entire time talking to the men in suits.’
The onlooker added that Ronaldo is being accompanied by a glamorous female assistant, who is apparently helping him recuperate from injury.
